PTS Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Charles Rogers, Roy Williams and now Mike Williams? Without a doubt the best young crop of WRs in decades. If Joey Harrington can't get it done with these guys, he will never amount to anything. Three years from now, they will make St. Louis' passing happy team from a few years ago look like bums. EDIT: I'd like to make my prediction today that Mike Williams will become the next TO and Randy Moss. EDIT #2: Obviously, if Rogers can stay heathly these guys would be the best young crop of WRs in decades.
ch19079 Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 C. Rodgers cant stay healthy. i have a feeling on eof the 3 will be hurt again. so it will just be 2 WR. and williams is a rookie, so it might take him ~ a season to be as good as people think he will be. they needed a Safety. if harrington can do something good, they will ahve a good O and a bad D.
LabattBlue Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 The only problem is that Charles Rogers has broken his collarbone in the same exact spot two years running. I'm wondering if this is going to be a chronic problem for Rogers and they have drafted Williams to replace him. Best case scenario like you stated....a dynamic trio of WR's for Harrington to throw to.

Alaska Darin Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Considering Charles Rogers has been about as durable as wet kleenex in a gale... I'm all about best player on the board but in this era these three guys won't be on the same team for very long.
LabattBlue Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 i thaught rodgers broke his bone in another spot this year... maybe im wrong... 317814[/snapback] I stand corrected.... http://www.detnews.com/2004/lions/0409/14/d01-272939.htm Rogers was hurt on the Lions’ third offensive play in Sunday’s game at Chicago and will miss the rest of the season. He broke the same collarbone, but in a different place, during practice in October 2003 and missed the last 11 games.
CoachChuckDickerson Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 If Joey Harrington can't get it done with these guys, ... Harrington? Unless Garcia gets hurt I doubt he'll sniff the field after week 2.
PTS Posted April 25, 2005 Author Posted April 25, 2005 i thaught rodgers broke his bone in another spot this year... maybe im wrong... 317814[/snapback] Yeah, he broke it inches away from the previous break.
PTS Posted April 25, 2005 Author Posted April 25, 2005 Harrington? Unless Garcia gets hurt I doubt he'll sniff the field after week 2. 317828[/snapback] I forgot they have Garcia, I didn't think you were allowed to have two gay QBs on the same team. I thought there was some rule against that.
udonkey Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 That'd be one hell of a WR corp if the QB wasn't limp wristed.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 EDIT: I'd like to make my prediction today that Mike Williams will become the next TO and Randy Moss. I'll go on record saying Mike Williams will be the next Keyshawn Johnson--i.e., a glorified, over-hyped possession receiver.

The guy has the best hands I've ever seen on a WR.
stuckincincy Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Well, DET wasn't the only club that surprised with an early WR pick, were they?

stuckincincy Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Don't forget the Lions also have Az Hakim in the Mix too. 317853[/snapback] I'd love to see the return of the bump 'n run and watch many of today's hot-shot wr's catch 30 balls per season max...
scribo Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 The Lions don't win more than 9 games this year. That's my prediction.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 If by possession you mean catching everything that comes near him, you're right. The guy has the best hands I've ever seen on a WR. 317842[/snapback] I just don't think he has the same explosiveness as a TO and Randy Moss. He'll be great in the red zone and over the middle, in the same way Keyshawn was. But I guess time will tell who's right on this guy.
splinter21 Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 I agree with todd, how can you guys sit there and promote such draft idiocy. Mike williams was a waste of a pick. they are going to be tied up in the cap later. Think about it. You have three receivers hwo see themselves as the number one guy and getting paid 1st round money. Plain idiocy. Matt Millen is incompetent.
drnykterstein Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Rogers will be fine, they put a metal plate over his colarbone, that thing is not going anywhere this year. I wouldnt assume any injury for him, but the Lions are, so that why they picked up Mike W
