Rockford Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 What I want to know ios. . .Detroit was freakishly bad WITH WIlliams. .how bad are they going to be now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons 'til Death Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 What I want to know ios. . .Detroit was freakishly bad WITH WIlliams. .how bad are they going to be now?The real question is how bad the Cowboys' are with him. It's going to take awhile for him to pick up their offense. Then Romo is going to be out for at least 4 weeks. By the time Romo comes back the two of them have to get a chemistry together, which would take us beyond the playoffs. I sure hope it was worth it to screw up next years draft.

TO just wants to win as long as he is the focal point of their passing offense.I guess I can now drop Creyton off of my fantasy roster in a couple of weeks.As for Moss for a 4th the Raiders just wanted him gone. Don't compare that deal to much of anything else besides Moss is only as good as the guy throwing him the ball and this year he ain't that good.

nativefalcon Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 too bad he can't play CB, their secondary is in shambles. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Moss is only as good as the guy throwing him the ball and this year he ain't that good.This can be said of any receiver (which is all the more reason to not trade for Williams). Besides, the last I looked at that team, it was the defense which needed to help, not the offense. Jones must have lost his freakin' mind. LOL!

Moving to Dallas, his production probably isn't going to go DOWN from what it was in Detroit, time sharing or no. In Detroit, Calvin Jhonson was getting most of the catches.

His stats will definitely go down.As I said: He's averaging. .what. . 40 something yards a game and less than three catches?I think he can match that in Dallas.
