Comments on: Roy Williams on Cowboys cutting him: “I would have done the same thing” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/27/roy-williams-on-cowboys-cutting-him-i-would-have-done-the-same-thing/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sun, 19 May 2013 05:11:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: mdnittlion http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/27/roy-williams-on-cowboys-cutting-him-i-would-have-done-the-same-thing/#comment-1150621 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 01:29:50 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=142119#comment-1150621 I love the picture from the Thanksgiving game just before Williams lost the game by having the ball taken from his hands on National Television. I believe they teach that in Pop Warner ball.

The Raiders need him and I mean BAAAD. Raiders have no one with his size that can pose as a redzone threat, especially if they lose Z. Miller. C’mon Roy…would you rather play with one of the pansiest QB’s in the game in Cutler, or dawn the best jersey in football (S & B), and team up with guys like Darren McFadden and Richard Seymour who are posed to take the AFC West? Hopefully it’s the latter.

I just wish we hadn’t given up what we gave up for someone who didn’t really do much for us. Maybe we would have been better off if we had just kept T.O. those 3 years…

That was an issue in Detroit, and caused several interceptions (Kitna through the ball where Williams was supposed to be, but wasn’t).

Can’t say with certainty whether the same thing happened in Dallas, but it sounded like he was still doing the same thing.

He had success with Martz previously. If his heart has really fallen out of his chest then just leave him at the curb…

Has anyone else noticed that all the players and their shills (with funny aliases) have disappeared? It’s back to the old users we recognize,

Well done, I was gonna go OFF on that guy until I scrolled down and saw your turn of the tables. I think BOTH of the types of “shills” are long gone though there were far more player ones IMO. And I am glad they are all gone for both sides because all they did was whine about shills for the other side.

I can’t believe I got all the way down here and no one has made a bad joke about if the Cowboys mailed him his release papers. So I’ll be “that guy” so to speak. :D

With Kitna as the QB he has a 1300 yd season, but couldn’t crack 600 yds with Romo throwing to him?

————————————————————-

He was just never the #1 guy in Dallas. There was TO, then Austin ahead of him. Throw in Witten and he just wasn’t getting many looks.

————————————————————–

Really? You’re going to come back at me with “yeah but you only won one more playoff game than us” (it’s actually two)? I got news for you. The Cowboys have won 3 count ‘em THREE Super Bowls since the Lions won their last playoff game. FIVE since the last playoff game the Lions won before THAT.

Get back to me when the Lions can manage to NOT have ten losing seasons in a row.

Once again the fans in Detroit thank Mr. Jones and the Cowboys for the Williams trade.

I wouldn’t be too giddy if I were you, they’ve still only won 8 games in the last three seasons combined.

And I’m too lazy to look up the specifics, but Dallas has only won like one more playoff game than the Lions in like the last 15 years or so, so don’t get too giddy yourself. Btw, Lions are definitely on the up and up. Is Dallas rebuilding? Or just content with mediocrity?

I’m sure someone could use his services as long as they don’t expect him to be a #1 and he doesn’t want a lot of money. So I see Snyder signing him to a huge contract with a lot of guranteed dollars.

Roy Williams was a bust but why would he say I would have done the same thing. Idiot.

Um, maybe because even he realizes he didn’t come close to playing up to his contract?
