    This thread was started in the Lounge but got buried in a hurry.

    Coming from a New Orleans Saint’s fan this is wonderful. The Saints gave up their entire draft for this guy and he was nothing but a headache. He achieved nothing in his career and was mediocre at best. I’m just glad that the Saints unloaded this guy when they did.

    Mediocre at best??? WTF?

    He had four straight 1,000 yd seasons. (all but his rookie season)

    He got 1,800 the year before last. And had 16 td's.

    How good do you thin you woulda done in his position

    What a ridiculous statement, how good would Ricky Williams be at tank driving (or whatever it is that Hank does)

    Here is what I think.

    Wonder if it would be too much trouble for a mod to merge both threads?
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    --Good for them if they survive.

    He never even won a playoff game during his career. The Saints did make the playoffs one year and won the wild card game in which Williams didn’t even play because of injury. He did play the next week in the divisional game in which the Vikings crushed the Saints. Impressive to say the least.

    Henever won a playoff game?

    You sound ludicrous.

    Football is a team sport in which everyone has a role.

    It is undisputed that he did his role very well.

    Different would play out different ways. Whose to say if he stayed with Joe Blow team that he would not have retired?

    ....but that&#39;s shouldacouldawouldamaybepossiblesometimesifinretrospect

    What have you been schmokinnnnnnnnn?

    Mediocre player?

    B. I had the pleasure of watching him every Sunday for 3 years and I can say I wasn’t impressed. The Saints traded away their entire draft to get one player that was a flake at best.

    He didn’t possess any breakaway speed.

    He was not threat at all to receive out of the backfield.

    He constantly fumbled.

    I distinctly remember during a preseason game one of my fondest memories of Williams. During his rookie season he got hurt during the preseason (which turned out to be a recurring theme) and was sidelined for most of it. Instead of giving interviews to the media he spelled out the word NO in towels, them climbed to the top section of the bleachers and sat in front of it.

    The guy is a nut job.

    He had 7 total fumbles over 5 seasons.
    If he continued on his pace (1270 yds/s), after his 15th season he would have nearly 20,000 rushing yards, passing E. Smith for career ruching yrds.. And 123 td&#39;s.


    Here&#39;s more of his stats since I can see you guys need them.

    There&#39;s only one person in this thread that needs to see his stats and his post is above yours.

    Stats don&#39;t lie Hank.

    Sorry Singa. He had 34 fumbles over 5 seasons.


    Like your avatar by the way Singa.

    You are correct again Busy the stats don’t lie.

    16 total td’s as a Saint over a 3 year span.

    He also managed to stockpile 2 receiving td’s over 3 years.

    He also had 20 total fumbles as a Saint.

    And had 1 carry for over 40 yards.

    Now lets look at what I originally said:


    He didn’t possess any breakaway speed.

    He was not threat at all to receive out of the backfield.

    He constantly fumbled

    I think I summed that up accurately the first time.
