In Jerry's defense, everybody thought we were getting a top 5 WR. I was in favor of the trade as well as a large number of posters on this board, so if we are going to throw Jerry under the bus then about 2/3 of this board is going under the bus with him.

I'd be in favor of that.

Forcing the ball to RW? Hmmmm................. Here are the Times Targeted figures for the Top 4 receivers on the team:

Witten - 71 (54 catches)
Austin - 62 (35 catches)
Williams - 57 (24 catches)
Crayton - 51 (27 catches)

Yet, no one is *****ing when he throws the ball to Witten when he is double or triple teamed. I'll take RW and leave Crayton where he works best - in the slot. :rolleyes:

That's because Witten makes plays and gets the first downs. Roy isn't doing the same for the team.

I think that a true fan (notice the avoidance of "real") would want what is best for the team to succeed, and that clearly isn't Roy at the moment. His lack of production are hurting a team that is becoming increasingly marginal on offense. He's not the entirety of the problem by any measure, but he has been playing at a 3rd or 4th receiver level and should get playing time commensurate with that effort. Our only successful drive of the day featured no attempts to our number one receiver. Coincidence?

As poorly as this guy has played, I can't understand how people are still supporting him. Crayton (my least favorite player on the team) is a better option at the moment. If Roy showed a lot of promise playing at the 3rd level then I'd gladly see him moved up to #1 or #2, but now, he's hurting the team and we need receivers that can sustain drives.

That is how I feel. I put the team first, players second. Roy is hurting the team, therefor he needs to sit for the good of the Cowboys.

If Roy Williams continues to suck it's not good for any of us. if you continue on your soapbox, you will undoubtedly feel a twinge of displeasure should Roy stop sucking.

Take a step back from forum persona a while to just be a fan. We all want Roy Williams to succeed. Taking a firm stand in the "He sucks and he'll always suck and I'm going to throw that in the face of anyone who tries to claim that he doesn't suck!!!!" is just ruining the fan experience.

If Roy doesn't get right it is a VERY bad thing for Dallas. I guess our weirdo fans who want to gloat that they were "right" will get some deranged joy out of it, and subsequently annoy the piss out of the rest of us, but noone else is having any fun.

Well said.

I have no problem with anyone pointing out their displeasure with a player's performance when it is warranted, and in this case, I think it is.

...but the extent some people take their level of distaste for particular players makes their whole point of view unaccountable and virtually meaningless.

I've voiced my displeasure with him, as have many others, but I think you'll find that the more rational posters here would trade their displeasure in for a better performance at the drop of a hat.

Hell, I drafted the SOB in my Yahoo league. I even started him yesterday. :bang2:

I have a reason to root for him. Two, actually.

Now I need a reason to like him. :D

I like Roy "Butterfingers" Williams ... I think he "gets his popcorn ready", eats it, and forgets to wash his hands before the game.

you took the name I wanted to give him Butterfingers... But I have to say the defense is more like butter cause they're on a roll.

But as far as Roy "He don't throw the ball right" Williams or Roy "The Clown" Williams or whatever needs to get out of Dallas. I rather have Mike Jefferson than Roy Williams, I rather have Jessie Holley catching than Roy Williams. For the money Roy Williams getting paid, people like Jessie Holley and Mike Jefferson would have been catching all over the field.
