But for all those that wanted him in 05, now's our chance! dgack 10-31-2007, 12:15 PM 6'5", 230 pounds of underachiever who needs a second chance (or is that third chance?) Can he possibly be any worse than Lloyd? It's easy to write the dude off but the Lions squad he was a part of was not very good at all, and when the Faiders are your "second chance", well...that's not saying much. I have to admit I'm not totally familiar with his struggles, but he didn't go out like Charles Rogers, so there might be something there. And he can't be that expensive. I would not be at all surprised to see a team like New England who can afford to roll the dice on a dirt-cheap FA, sign a guy like Williams and have him thrive. hooskins 10-31-2007, 12:16 PM Absolute trash(Williams not you) dgack 10-31-2007, 12:18 PM Absolute trash(Williams not you) As in, locker room poison? Or is it a case of Westbrookitis (chronic lack of heart)? Stacks42 10-31-2007, 12:24 PM Well Randy Moss was let go by the Raiders for not having any heart. Look at him now! Sheriff Gonna Getcha 10-31-2007, 12:26 PM If Kiffin (who coached MW at USC) is letting him go, I can't imagine that MW has anything to offer. MTK 10-31-2007, 12:32 PM He's garbage. dgack 10-31-2007, 12:43 PM He's garbage. Anybody want to expound on this a little more? I don't understand the vitriol against this guy, other than the obvious "he was an overpaid first round bust". Like I said, I didn't see any string of incidents with the law, or questions about his health. He's still extremely young, and hasn't ever played for a good pro team. He may turn out to be a total bust who never catches on (a la Taylor Jacobs) but with the physical attributes the guy has, I don't see who wouldn't want to take a chance on the dude unless he is absolutely a headcase.

That's pretty much what makes him garbage. Sheriff Gonna Getcha 10-31-2007, 12:48 PM Anybody want to expound on this a little more?

He hasn't had any run-ins the law and he has been relatively injury-free. However, in Detroit, he had weight problems, didn't have a solid work ethic, and didn't play or practice well. I don't know how he was received in Oakland, but they obviously gave up on the kid. That Kiffin gave up on him says a lot IMO. I don't think anyone hates the kid, we just think he's overpaid and dumb, lazy, and failing to take advantage of the opportunities afforded to him.
