DMN Blog: Getting Roy Williams involved

[Vegas_Cowboy]

He's been here 4 weeks and he's worked with the QB for a week. Calm down.

Exactly. Williams and Romo have only had a handfull of practices and 1 full game together. It takes time for a QB and WR to get comfotable with each other.

Every time I see threads like these it reminds me of every time I try and take my kids fishing.

2 minutes after putting their lines in the water:

Kids: Daddy, can we reel in or lines to see if we have a fish?

Daddy: Nope. You have to wait for a fish to bite first.

Kids: Oh, ok.

2 minutes later:

Kids: Daddy, when are the fish going to bite?

Daddy: We just got started. give it some time.

2 minutes later.

Kids: Fishing is boring Daddy. Can we go play?

Daddy: <Shakes head>

You cannot measure RoyDub11's worth in four games, or even by the rest of the season, IMO. This trade was made for long-term stability at the wideout spot not simply for getting us over the hump this season. When you look at WRs that would be available to Dallas in the upcoming draft can anyone who's questioning him coming here honestly say they think any of them are better?

Nothing RW11 has done since arriving here has spelled "disappointment" to me. He's been quality and something exactly like what this team has needed.

He's been here 4 weeks and he's worked with the QB for a week. Calm down.

Just use posts by morons as comedy relief lol cause they obviously have no other use

Priceless! This trade may come back to haunt the Cowboys down the line. Hope not BUT COULD NOT WILL!

lol wut?

When you give up what Dallas gave up.... money and draft picks... your expectations should be nothing but high!

And when those draft picks you gave up were for a guy when his ability relies SOLELY on the play of your Q.B. who has been out for the past 3 weeks and the week he comes back he's still hurt where he can't really throw the ball with much accuracy, and he is the 3rd option in the passing game behind T.O. and Witten, SURE, I should of expected Roy Williams to get at LEAST 100 yards and a T.D. on sunday! LOL

He had a QB in 06 and 07. This guy is capable of putting up those kind of numbers for another ten years plus.

Now compare that with these:

Those look a lot alike. And Williams has much better hands.
