Roy Williams: Can he become the next Fitzgerald?

[Rayman]

????

You know what? Michael Irvin was a gamer. Constantly going 100%. Roy Williams is constantly going about 10%.

I take it you are too young to actually have seen Irvin play?

I'll give you that.

Irvin was more intense than anybody. It'd be hard for Williams to match that, though I definitely think he needs to improve his effort. I've heard good things this offseason so we'll see.

I'd watched Irvin since 1990 until his retirement, BTW

[longhornfan]

Williams is slow? The same guy who ran a 4.37 and a 4.42 at the combine? The reasons he looks slow out there is because he might be half assing it.

[mgoblue2290]

Yeah, Roy will just take plays off and he has been known to drop the ball too. He also will get upset and start half assing it if the QB doesn't look his way.

I like Roy, he was my favorite player when he was here but he just does not give his all. He has the ability to be a top 15, maybe even top 10 receiver but he doesn't want it as bad as some other players do.

He'll never be Fitz, because Fitz has a QB that doesn't choke late in the season/playoffs.

You didn't even need to say that.

Warner is considered a HOF'er by some.

It would take a miraclous string of seasons from Romo to warrant the same.



Anyways....

This thread is about a WR becoming a star like a WR that's 2 years younger than him? Ok....

Roy is who he is......he's not going to blow up into the NFL elite, no matter who his QB is.

[Rayman]

lol love it

[Hasselbeck]

Thats nice. So Larry Fitzgerald and Roy Williams will be the only two WRs in the NFL to have 1000 yards this year? If not, then WTF are you talking about?

Fitzgerald is intelligent and has great heart. Williams is dumb and lazy.

These guys all eclipsed 1000 yards in 2008..

Andre Johnson
Larry Fitzgerald
Steve Smith
Roddy White
Calvin Johnson
Greg Jennings
Brandon Marshall
Antonio Bryant
Wes Welker
Reggie Wayne
Vincent Jackson
Tony Gonzalez
Terrell Owens
Santana Moss
Hines Ward
Anquan Boldin
Derrick Mason
Dwayne Bowe
Lee Evans
Donald Driver
Randy Moss
Steve Breaston

Oh another fun fact.. Roy Williams in 16 games had 430 yards and 2 touchdowns. Larry Fitzgerald in 4 postseason games had 546 yards and 7 touchdowns.

Only a Cowboy fan would come up with such a retarded comparison.

IMO Hines Ward is going to be the next FitzJesus.

[Tailback U]

I can't even remember the last time I saw Roy Williams run and catch a ball over the middle.

[Hasselbeck]

Larry didn't get traded midseason and play with Kitna/O'Sullivan/Brad Johnson for the first 10 weeks or so. Therefore, your comparison is the retarded one.

I'd put more stock in this if you weren't a Cowboy fan.

[The Messenger]

There are Cowboys fans trying to defend this shitty article? I hope Roy does become the next (but somehow older) version of Larry Fitzgerald, but he hasn't shown anything yet in the NFL that resembles anything remotely close to what Larry Fitz is doing. Even in Roy's best season, the stats are only half the picture, Roy doesn't have the heart, he doesn't have the intangibles. I hope he proves me wrong this season, next season, and every season after that that he's in a Cowboys uniform, but no one should be backing this shitty article.

[Rayman]

For the record, he doesn't have to be Fitz.

Hell, he doesn't even have to be close

Just catch 70-80 passes, maybe fewer. He'll get his 1000 yards and 10 TDs, of that I'm sure, but he hardly needs to set the world on fire this year.

Not like he's the only option offensively.

[Senser81]

He'll get his 1000 yards and 10 TDs, of that I'm sure,

Yeah, Roy E. Williams getting 1000 yards and 10 TDs this year is a lock considering he's done it zero times in his NFL career.

Didn't say a lock.

I'd be surprised if he didn't, though. If he's not motivated now after having everyone shit on him for an entire offseason and playing for the team he always wanted to play for...

...let's just say there's no hope at all for this guy if that's the case.
