Umm, you do realize Memphis lost all of their qb's right? And they still went to a bowl game even with defenses keying on DeAngelo. That's pretty fucking impressive! You also realize 30 carries for 200 yards is a 6.7 ypc average, right?

Williams faced one decent defense all year (Mississippi), and was held to 85 yards on 24 carries.

Pittman faced one great rush defense, and averaged a whopping 0.4 ypc more.
How many RBs can succeed behind Memphis' line with absolutely no balance on offense? I guess he was taken in the first round b/c of inflated #'s, right?I have plenty of respect for Deangelo and Garrett, neither could win an osu matchup for their team.

However, I don't see anyone proclaiming Pittman as the second coming of Barry Sanders.
That is the difference.

Was I comparing Pittman to Williams? And NFL teams are never wrong with their first-round draft picks.

I'll go out on a limb here and guess that our coach has the team prepared for the first game of the new season. I believe that the team's record in openers under this coach is 5-0. This coach does pretty well in big games, and the first game of the year for everyone is big. There will be no shortage of intensity on September 2.

fair enough.
I was merely responding in turn to evaluating a RB based on 1 tough game when the passing game is nearly non-existant. Williams may flop at the next level, but it's goin to take more than the mississippi defense to convince me of that.Was I comparing Pittman to Williams?

And my point is that gaudy stats aren't all what folks make them out to be...neither is NFL draft position. Williams got his huge numbers against defensive stalwarts such as Chattanooga, Tulsa, UTEP, Central Florida, Houston, East Carolina, UAB, and Akron. He also had a "tough game" against Southern Mississippi (36-123, 3.4 ypc) and just happened to not play against the best defense they faced all year (Tennessee).

Well, doesn't it balance out since he's playing on a mediocre team?

Well, Ladanian Tomlinsan(sp?) didn't always play against top-notch competition and he's turned out pretty well.

The fact that his supporting cast is at no higher level than his competition does count for something.
But it certainly doesn't bode well for September 2nd, does it?

Care to elaborate on what you're calling "top-notch competition"?

Not to nit-pick, but that's a pretty crap-tacular schedule (which kinda makes your point, doesn't it?)
