Josh Ellis, of DallasCowboys.com, reports Dallas Cowboys WR Roy Williams was receiving pointers at practice from former Cowboys WR Michael Irvin. When asked whether it mattered, Williams replied: "Everybody has an opinion, that's fine. It's cool with me. I suck, remember?" Williams said he always enters seasons with a chip on his shoulder, but this year sounds different for him. "Everybody thinks I suck, and I just have something to prove, not to prove that I don't suck, just to prove I can be a consistent ballplayer," he said. Williams, who caught just 19 passes with the Cowboys in 10 games last year, said he is not uncomfortable, and it all comes down to him putting together a consistent pattern of catching the ball on the field over a whole year. According to Williams, when he and QB Tony Romo trust each other, allowing Romo to throw him the ball: "Then I won't suck anymore."

I don't think he understood how brutal the fans/media are here.

I feel kinda bad for the guy to be honest, any other team's fans would be excited to have him, us, we need him to prove himself. Kinda dumb.

Detroit is no easy place to be, believe me. The fans and the media in Detroit are pretty relentless.

I don't think its what you think it is. People are starved for a playoff win around here, and it has been so long that many are sceptical until that first win comes in so we can all say "thank god the monkey is off our backs finally!"

folks won't be happy with anything less than a superbowl win, this whole playoff thing is laughable.

we win a playoff game then lose the next game, fans will start complaining about the lack of multiple playoff wins and superbowl wins.

Expectations are beyond reasonable for this team.

fan's assertion that a playoff win is enough doesn't mean it's true, folks want a superbowl and nothing else will satiate them.

and just to say it, winning a playoff game then losing is much harder to deal with, at least for me, than not winning one at all.

losing the superbowl would have to be the worse feeling I could imagine as a fan, let alone player.

I agree with all statements here.

I agree with all statements here.

I second that - consider me one of those who will not be "satisfied" with one playoff victory.

 

[JBS]

I have no idea what I would do if I witnessed us lose a superbowl...I have thought about this before and it frightens the crap out of me.
