Deangelo Williams...

I agree that Deangelo is a better fit for us. Somewhat similar speed to CJ with a lot more bulk. Hopefully, we'll adjust our offense rather than trade CJ though :\.

 

I like him. Williams is a great player. Just wish we were using C.J. better.

 

Dump Johnson for a guy who's going to cost just as much money (DeAngelo will get a huge contract if he actually hits free agency), has a similar skill-set and who will be 28 at the start of next year? I fail to see how that's a good idea.

What skill does DeAngelo Williams possess that Chris Johnson doesn't? It's not like he's a banger who moves the pile. He doesn't have "a lot more bulk" like someone said above. Do you guys even watch him play? He has a few more pounds than CJ, but he's still a finesse back. When he's behind a bad o-line (like he is this season), DeAngelo Williams doesn't really produce big numbers.

Maybe try this thread again and substitute the name Jonathan Stewart. Then you might actually have a half-decent argument. At least he can be a power runner.

Or, here's a better idea. Let's all stop talking about getting rid of Chris Johnson because it's not going to happen.

 

I would love to have DW on the team, unfortunately, they seem high on Ringer. :hmm:

 

lets get balanced on offense before we go thinking about more running.

 

I would have loved have taken a stab at Marion Barber this offseason. I remember Dallas saying they were taking offers but not actively trying to trade him.

Steven Jackson is probably my favorite running back in the league and would pick him over CJ and AP if I were building a team.

I don't really see DW being any better than CJ in the Fisherball system.

 

According to NFL.com, DeAngelo is 26lbs heavier than CJ. That seems quite a bit bulkier to me.

Also, I realize that DeAngelo isn't a power back. That's not the point. The point is that he's more of a power back than CJ and has similar speed. He just seems more well-rounded.
