seems apropos here as well...
+1
He possesses the ability to be as great as people seem to think he is ... but he's a lazy ass on the field. Maybe he'll play harder for a team like Dallas though.

True, but is he worth that many picks? Is WR, or offensive playmaker for that matter, that much of a priority for the Cowboys?
It's a stupid move, IMO. If the guy played at Maryland then you'd all hate this deal.
Roy Williams is a very good receiver, but he is a bit overrated. Roy has great size and good hands. I think dropped balls he's had was more a product of the Lions being so ty and Roy not having his heart and focus where it needed to be. I think it will be different for him in Dallas. He's going to give his best effort all the time. He isn't the best #1 receiver because he doesn't have that burner speed to get great separation for big plays. But, he's still very, very good.
Assuming of course that everyone commenting is a Longhorn fan.
Which they are not.
I think that not being the focal point of every defense and being possibly the third option the defense worries about will allow this guy to smoke one on one coverages once Romo comes back. , he may even be able to put up some numbers with Brad as the QB.@ anybody thinking the WR Roy sucks.
How good did Randy Moss look when Andrew Walter was throwing him the ball? And then how did he look when it was Brady?
Roy has had to endure Joey Harrington and Jon Kitna, and he's still put up very nice numbers. Now that he's got a real QB, he's going to blow up.
This deal is huge IMO.
But mono, Moss was great before he became lackadaisical. RW can become a great WR but he has a lot, and I mean alot, of work to do. Plus, he now adds the distraction of family and friends to an already lackluster work ethic.
Regardless, a 1st and a 3rd is way too much to give up.
Good point. JamStone mentioned that as well. Williams as a #1, so-so. As a #2? Very good.
It's cool if you think Roy Williams is great. But, keep in mind that the Patriots gave up I believe a third round pick for Randy Moss. Is Roy Williams worth a 1st, 3rd, and 6th all in the same draft?
To the 2002 Cowboys that were in desperate need of rebuilding he most definitely would not be worth the picks.
To this team with all sorts of talent locked up long term it makes more sense. Now we just need the coaching and leadership to catch up to the talent.
Oh the Cowboys definitely overpaid. But Roy has displayed enough playmaking ability with the likes of Jon Kitna and Joey Harrington to make me think he'll blow up big time with Romo, TO, Barber, Witten and so on, surrounding him.
I would agree with that. I think they did overpay but I think it could be well worth it.
They're definitely selling their future to buy a Super Bowl today, and it might not work. But considering TO is one meltdown away from Dallas having Patrick Crayton be their #1 receiver, I guess this was worth it.
I can buy that. Just saying the Lions probably would have done the deal for the 1st rounder alone. And, just saying Jerry Jones has gotten pretty crazy.
I say Yes. He was 7th overall a few years back. He is only 27. He seems to have a good character (nice PR move considering today), the Cowboys get back 2 draft picks because Pacman was suspended. Take away TO, the Cowboys have not had a real threat at reciever since Irvin. Williams stays healthy this is a good move.
I didn't think they'd get more than a 3rd to be honest with you.
Millen gone, Kitna IRed, ransom for RW...
Is it Christmas?
I think this is an even trade but you Lion's sure made a good one.
Roy could be better than Alvin Harper, which is really all the Cowboys need with Witten and Owens.
Just curious how the Cowboys are going to fit everyone under the salary cap. Did RW take a sweetheart deal? TO gone at the end of the year?
The cap this year is nuts, no problem. I don't think any teams are too close.
There might not be a salary cap after next year.
Epic trade! Cheers
That means that everyone becomes a FA, IIRC.
What about next year?
It means there may not be a salary cap. Teams can pay whatever they want for players like in baseball.Owners like Jones do not want one and the deal runs out, I think, the end of next year.
