Having Weeden as his QB notwithstanding, I don't understand why officials are letting Williams get mugged all over the field. Press coverage doesn't mean DBs can be grabbing and holding the receiver after 10 yards. Now, I've seen our guys get away with some contact, but Williams is being clearly impeded and illegal contact should have been called several times.

Agree. They are not calling contact after 5 on him, contrast that to tick tacky calls on us negating picks etc

27 year old Troy Aikman wouldn't be able to do anything with him. He doesn't get open enough.

In 2013 we took Gavin Escobar one pick before Pittsburgh took Leveon Bell
And then followed that up with T.Williams two picks before Keenan Allen.

Ouch.

This is funny. I wanted both of those guys to be drafted. Loved both of those guys. Oh well. We have Street and Escobar.

I just think Romo knows where to put the ball for this guy to make an impact. It's just yet another small detail that we miss without Romo...

He's been abused the last 2 weeks by a guy from the CFL (Breaux) and Malcolm Butler. Neither one of these guys are world beaters. They have been using press coverage to disrupt Williams and take him out of the game mentally. He gives up too easily. I thought we saw a spark late in the game against NO, when he was being abused, but managed to make a play, but that was clearly a fluke. This guy can't carry the load. He is drawing single teams and coming up empty, game in and game out, against inferior competition.

I would give him credit if he were facing Revis or Talib, but he can't beat former CFL players or undrafted RFAs at this point.

He clearly needs a number one on the other side.

Crayton, Roy Williams, Miles Austin and now T. Williams...

Can we start blaming the crap offense and the WR routes at least somewhat?

and right now he is our best WR. can you image. I think if Street just sat on the field he could do more than trying to run routes. Williams sucks as a primary receiver.

There are definitely some routes that he runs better than others, but Weeden does not know how to throw anything with timing involved. I also don't understand all of the contact that Williams is getting down the field, but apparently that is normal these days because they are not calling any of it. Even with that, he is getting open more than people think but Weeden is already throwing the checkdown before Williams even sets up his break and I wish I was joking when I said that. Weeden has so little confidence in where to throw the ball that the checkdown is his security blanket. It would be very interesting to see the all 22 and see what percentage of routes Williams is getting open on. I would guess around half of them, which is why he is not a number one, but he is not Devin Street either.

Williams is a huge disappointment that is for sure. terrible route runner and cannot beat press coverage at all. he is one of the main reasons that weeden is looking as bad as he is. Williams is also making it hard on witten. Williams can forget a big payday when his rookie contract is up.he is no more then a number three receiver.

A receiver like Williams in an offense like The Patriots, would probably be pretty productive.

Drafts really can't be judged until years later.

Lol I love how you are absolving Weeden of blame. Williams couldn't have been more wide open on that fourth down at the end of the game and he missed him. Then he nearly got picked because he was late on a crossing route underneath. Yeah Terrance has struggled getting separation, but it would help if the quarterback would actually hit him when he is open and could throw with some anticipation and not hold it and hold it and allow defensive backs to mug the guy.
