QCity Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I think it comes down to production. I've never understood why this fanbase fell in love with Williams. I thought the guy was overrated at Syracuse and was living off his 11 TD campaign as a rookie. He was brought here to boost our red zone production but has been invisible once we get inside the 20. Correction, he's been invisible every time he takes the field - save for the 1 grab vs Chicago and a TD catch on a busted coverage / broken play. Watch the A22, the guy isn't getting open. 3 of 4 seasons he was above 1000 yards. He's never had a 1000 yd season and he's never caught more than 65 passes.

QCity Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 MW doesn't rely on separation to make catches. Translation: He can't get open.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Translation: He can't get open. Translation: He has produced 20+ NFL touchdowns.
QCity Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Translation: He has produced 20+ NFL touchdowns. Let's put him on the Wall of Fame.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Let's put him on the Wall of Fame. Hello strawman!
FireChan Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Translation: He has produced 20+ NFL touchdowns. How many has Jerry Rice caught? Is he available?
26CornerBlitz Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 How many has Jerry Rice caught? Is he available? Better Idea. Let's have you go over the middle against Ronnie Lott.
bladiebla Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Hopefully the bye will fix the MW situation.
Not at the table Karlos Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Something's going on as Mike Williams was a stud in Tampa. 3 of 4 seasons he was above 1000 yards. I'm not blaming Hackett or Marrone. I don't know. I don't expect you guys to know Williams as I live in Tampa, but it is really perplexing they have a talent like him, yet do not play him. Maybe he isn't putting in the time in the film room, or spending extra time with Orton. It makes no sense, from a business as he has a chance to do well this year, and can make some decent money. If he gets cut next year, he will go for the league minimum. Is he that dumb to not put it on the line for this team. It's a damn shame as he could be an excellent #2 and a great red zone threat. I'm really disappointed in him at this point. what do you mean mike had 3 out of 4 years above 1000 yards? He has never had a 1000 yards receiving in a season.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 It's more snark than strawman. Snark on.
prissythecat Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 what do you mean mike had 3 out of 4 years above 1000 yards? He has never had a 1000 yards receiving in a season. Maybe in Madden he did?
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Translation: He has produced 20+ NFL touchdowns. It's funny that some people are quick to blame players who have produced on the NFL level and not coaches who haven't.
FireChan Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Better Idea. Let's have you go over the middle against Ronnie Lott. He's 55 now. I could take him!
26CornerBlitz Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 He's 55 now. I could take him! Ronnie would you up even at 55.
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Has anyone reviewed the game to see if Mike Williams was in the game all those times the team was in the red zone and came up empty? Is he just not getting open, or is he not even being given an opportunity to be on the field during those plays? I find it strange that a player who is considered a great red zone target is not someone I'm noticing in those situations. Is it him not playing well, or is he not even being given an opportunity? The team was in the red zone six times on Sunday. Not once did they "come up empty." Twice, in the third quarter, they kicked field goals. Those seem to be the only times people remember. Four other times, they scored touchdowns, if you count the first TD, in which they scored right after a sack took them out to the 22. It's still worth asking what's up with Mike Williams, but it does not appear that his lack of targets in the red zone was that big an issue.
Storm Front Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 It's hard not to like the idea of his past potential, but what good does it do to throw the ball up and take a chance at an interception if Woods and Hogan can get open?
