Well I think Roy Williams is a great WR, but let's not canonize him while demonizing CJ. We shouldn't complain about CJ's celebrations while forgetting this.

When Albom asked Williams why he celebrated a reception with his team already trailing by two scores, Williams responded, "I celebrate first downs all the time. I'm not gonna stop that. I'm an exciting player. If I do something exciting, I'm gonna show my actions."

Albom responded, "But you were losing, 10-0."

"What does that mean? ... That means nothing to me. The score means nothing," Williams told Albom.

Williams is a tremendous talent, and a when healthy can dominate. He has, however, had difficulty remaining healthy apart from the year he made the Pro Bowl and he can disappear for games at a time. I think if people looked really really hard at Williams - the way they have at Johnson - they would see a supreme talent who has been less consistent, less productive, and more injury prone than Johnson. Not saying I wouldn't want Williams (though his team also insists he won't be traded, so why not wait a year and target him and Colston?) but I wouldn't want to make as big an offer for him as I would for Johnson.
