Mike Williams to the Titans

This is a great pick up for the Titans, he has a real shot at becoming an actual star there due to lack of realistic options. I think we all forget that he had 30 tds in 2 seasons at USC including 176 catches and 2579 rec yards. All that done in only 26 games.

I am a little surprised we picked up Mix instead of the 6'5" Williams. Williams has a history of greatness.

Unsure as to why he didn't succeed, but with a lot of WR's, they can be mega talented, but if you don't throw to them, they look horrible. It's all about opportunity.

I know a lot of people on here wanted us to draft him,glad we didnt

Re: Mike Williams to the Titans
 

I was one of us that wanted the Skins to draft him, in hindsight I'm glad they didn't lolol.

This is some sort of traditional Thanksgiving Day joke, right?

Didn't you just start a thread saying Calvin Johnson is a bust after like less than half a season? Now Mike Williams is going to be a star? I love it.

No...if you read the posts correctly, I basically ASK if he is a bust. Not once did I say he was, other than he is not living up to the hype. There is a big difference there. It's there to discuss cause this site is getting boring with the same threads over and over. I thought I'd add something different to discuss.

Mike Williams is a huge bust, but he has talent. He has not had opportunity though. Give him the opportunity and I bet he succeeds.

Mike Williams is slow as molasses. Maybe he could pass as a tight end?

History of greatness? Where? At USC?

You're right on, Zimm. A lot, well, some scouts are projecting him as a TE now, not really a WR.

Aside from below average speed, the big knock on Williams is a poor work ethic - perhaps reuniting with Norm Chow will wake him. That said, he failed in a pretty good situation in Detroit with Roy Williams drawing the toughest defenders.

Re: Mike Williams to the Titans
 

I wonder how cheap they got him for. I wouldnt have minded us picking him up to help us around the goal line.

Re: Mike Williams to the Titans
 

Lane Kiffin was his position coach at USC and recently his coach in Oakland--and he gave up on him. He also implied, I am paraphrasing here, that Williams lost his motivation after getting his fat contract from Detroit. A player without the passion to play is the kiss of death IMO...
