Default 3 Games in....... Who still thinks RW

I don't think he was the best WR coming out. That is Larry Fitzgerald. I do think he is a heck of a player that is going to only get better with time and a legit 2nd WR if Rogers ever gets healthy.

Hard to judge Fitz with the QB he has in Zona.

We just converted half our LB to DL. We have a 30m starting DL, it better be pretty friggin good.

I felt he was the best WR in the draft period, staying at Texas the extra year hurt him somewhat but a lot of that had to do with the fact Texas did not have a QB who could throw the ball worth a damn. I felt RW was best after 2002 season and my additude did not change after the 2003. The guy has great hands, 4.37 speed and his tough to bring down.

Not like RW was blessed with Montana in Detroit.


I always maintained that RW was the best WR in the draft last year.

Oh JT, there you are. It's early yet but Roy Williams will be better the Fitgerald IMO and it's interesting that you think he might be a 2nd WR on the Lions team. Rogers was not and never will be the number one guy. He's got talent but I don't see it.

Still doing your thing for DraftBlitz?

I think RW will end up being better than Fitz though both will be great. They are about the same height and weight I think, and both catch everything, but RW is faster and is harder to bring down(must be the size 17 shoes!)

I agree Fitgerald is a good WR but Roy Williams is a lot better and when all is said and done I have no doubts the numbers will prove this to be fact. There is nothing Fitgerald can do that Roy Williams can't do and there are some things that RW can do that Fitgerald can't.

I was one of those guys who thought Roy was not better WR than Chalres Rogers, especially in Hands issue.

I am totally wrong on that. Seems like Texas under coaches its players. Roy has totally impressed me.

At this point when Charles is healthy, he will be the No. 2 WR, no doubt, if he can stay healthy. Roy right now looks, Randy Moss, minus Randy's Freak Speed and leaping ability.

Moss is faster but RW is obviously harder to bring down.

The issue with RW was never about talent but about durability. Let's see how he holds up over the season. Right now, it looks like the Lions got the best WR in the draft.

It was a toss up between Williams and Fitzgerald when they were being drafted. Still too hard to tell with Fitz since the Cardinals have too many problems at offense before they even snap the ball.

Roy is already one of the most fun players to watch in the game so far.
