Belushi Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 They really should be stockpiling draft picks. A 2nd for Williams is more than fair. His numbers aren't all that impressive. He just runs his mouth off allot and gets noticed for it. The Lions could use the draft pick more than they need another WR. Stick McDonald or Furrey on the outside. You've still got Calvin to build the team around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I'd agree with this, providing the revamp the scouting personel with someone who has a damn clue. They will probably wait til they decide who's GM and coach, before they do anyhting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Both are physically gifted. Roy is not any better than Chambers if you look at the stats. Per game basis Williams did better, but he missed too much time due to injuries. Williams happened to be drafted higher, thus the overhype. I can't stand Roy Williams and think he's absolutely the most over-rated piece of garbage at the WR position, but I still see Roy Williams value being higher than that of Chris Chambers. Maybe it's because he's physically intimidating while Chambers isn't, or maybe because Roy Williams runs his mouth. shouldn't it be "Built like Tarzan, plays like Jane"? I think that's sort of the joke... To say he plays like Jane would be a disservice to Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Agent Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 A local station just reported that a very firm offer has been made for Roy. Looks like this may happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primetime9287 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 (KFFL) Adam Schefter, of the NFL Network, reports the Detroit Lions have an offer from the Dallas Cowboys to acquire WR Roy Williams. The offer is believed to be at least a first-round draft choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Agent Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I heard 1st round too. I didn't post it because I figured there's no way. But maybe it's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Agent Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'm pumped if this happens. I think Roy adds lots of value across from TO. I dropped Roy when I heard about Kitna. I may have to pick him back up if he clears waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Witten, Williams, Owens, Barber. Man, Brad Johnson's WW stock would surge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Witten, Williams, Owens, Barber. Man, Brad Johnson's WW stock would surge. BIG TIME. If this deal goes through I am going to pick up BJ and hope to get some points in the upcoming weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope Flick Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 BIG TIME. If this deal goes through I am going to pick up BJ and hope to get some points in the upcoming weeks. he should be the #1 waiver pick in every league this week, with or without Roy joining him.

Meh, as a Vikes fan, I endured his last games as an NFL starter, he pretty much sucked. Granted, he didn't have the weapons he'll have in Dallas, especially of the Roy deal happens, but he was terrible in Minnesota, immobile, innacurate, terrible under pressure, etc. I wouldn't have my hopes too high in general.

I'll go with the Anthony Wright Effect: he dusts off every so often and light up for two weeks until D's get new footage on him and shut him down. Anthony Wright looked Hall of Fame caliber for two weeks every 3 years until a short time ago. That would be followed with two weeks of disasters at which point he hit the pine for 2-3 more years. Grab BJ and trade him high after this week. Where's that "This Happens in Week 7 Thread"? Edited October 14, 2008 by Pope Flick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelhead Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 NICE! I have been trying to package him in a trade for Gates and Holmes but I think I'll hold off now and wait. Johnson has to be able to get those guys teh ball now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
