spain Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I am very high on both of these 2nd year wideouts. I took Roy yesterday in a draft and thought I could get Clayton in the next round. I was wrong as he was taken the very next pick. Several people said that I should have grabbed Clayton over Williams. Personally, I have these guys rated about even and considered it a toss up. Others think Clayton will put up bigger numbers. I think we had this same discussion last spring but I cant find the thread. Anyway, who do you think will produce bigger numbers this year?

peepinmofo Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I think Clayton will put up bigger numbers, but not by much. Clayton will be (IMO) the unquestioned #1 in Tampa. Roy has more potential to put up bigger numbers though. In other words, I think Roy is more of a play maker, but I think Clayton will be consistently better. In the end, I think they will be very similar. Theres just so many good receivers in Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Dick Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I see Roy Williams to be better, but he's got Harrington throwing him the ball. I was able to get both, and I'm stuck on which one to go with opening day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blips Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Also, if Harrington's groin doesn't get better there will be no one to get Roy the ball. If Harrington is in there all year, it will be a toss up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree22 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 The pervious post make it sound like griese is a much better QB then Harrington. I think the QB's are close in talent (so to speak). Roy is definately more talented than Clayton. If Roy didn't have to share the ball so much I bet he would finish in the top 10 this year. I think they both will have good numbers this year and if your league rewards for length of TDs then Roy is the better options, other wise they about equal in terms of draft ranking.

Anyway, who do you think will produce bigger numbers this year? 967621[/snapback] I go with Clayton: he stays healthy, which I know only gives Roy a 1 year chance but fact is he got hurt last year. Also, ever since Gruden reseurrected Irving Fryar's career with the Iggles he has always had a very productive #1 receiver on his teams. Griese seems to have it together better than Harrington as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Jack Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I think it comes down to competition. Roy has a lot of other wides to share with and I think that it can be argued, that at least now - Griese is a better QB than Harrington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever in debt to mo lewis Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 i really wouldnt be that worried about rogers, kevin johnson, and mike williams roy is the only guy joey has had a chance to build a rapport with..and he likes to look toward him when he gets in trouble saw rogers drop a ball throw ever so slightly behind him on a slant route the against st louis that would have given detroit a much needed 1st down(not that roy is immune to drops by an stretch)...but i think if things start to go awry for detroit early...the potential is there, for them to start forcing roy the ball all in all...like many, i have em ranked about even Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaP'N GRuNGe Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I think it comes down to competition. Roy has a lot of other wides to share with and I think that it can be argued, that at least now - Griese is a better QB than Harrington 968241[/snapback] I agree with this. Hoping Clayton does well as he's my WR2 on two teams, behind Chad Johnson on one and Javon Walker on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I have been in a similar postion in deciding between Roy and Clayton. I selected Roy Williams. There are a couple factors that I considered in my decision, however the number one factor is that I think Williams is a bigger, stronger and better receiver then Clayton. Neither TB or DET's QB are ideal and put them at the same level (very low). I think the presence of Kevin Jones is a positive one for the DET offense, whereas TB does not have a proven RB Stud. Therefore, DET's passing game may have a slight edge in potential. This is definitely a tough call and I don't think you can go wrong with either of these guys, however my choice is Roy.

Randall Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I like Roy a little better than Clayton especially in big play ability. If he stay healthy I think he will be better than Clayton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Swerski Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Good question. I drafted Williams over Clayton. IMO, Williams has more raw talent and plays on a team that's going to be playing from behind a lot. But it wouldn't surprise me if Clayton's numbers were slightly higher this season.

BOO Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Clayton. I think Williams is better at circus catches, but Clayton is a better route runner, has better hands, a better QB, better blocker, and is the clear #1. Not that Williams can't catch, but I can never understand why some coaches don't pay much attention to if a receiver can catch. We (Saints) took Clayton's teammate at LSU in the 2nd last year (D. Henderson), and while he's fast and great after the catch - he can't catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Clayton will have a lot more receptions, and probably less big plays... I'll take a possesion receiver over a big play guy any day of the week... And I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
