TE Brandon Williams = Julius Thomas

[CPcavedweller]

Williams is faster and overall has more athleticism to me. Defenders let him through and then avoided tackling him a few time that I saw. I wasn't that impressed to be honest with you. It's more along the lines of Peyton Manning throws two passes to wide open TD who missed previous three blocks.

I was a fan of Thomas along with a bunch of people on here when he came out. I don't think he would be that good, but I also didn't know the Manning would end up being the person throwing him the ball. Williams may draw comparison to Williams but he won't have anywhere close the season to Thomas this season. Peyton will make anyone look good. Cam isn't Peyton or Brady.

Is pretty funny they both detoured at small Portland area basketball programs.  I think Williams has a higher potential, but Manning just needs an athlete to work the middle of the field, doesn't have to be overall polished.  I mean his 3 WR set is ridictulous for teams to cover, let alone a athletic TE on top of that.  Thomas was drafted in the 14th round of my money draft this year, I'm going to really be kicking myself if he keeps this up.

The guy had 1 career catch before tonight. ONE.

He now has 6 career catches. He had 5 catches for 110 yards and 2 TDs tonight. 4 catches, 97 yards, and both TDs came in the 1st half. There's a good chance we just witnessed a flash in the pan. Time will tell. At this point, I'd be happy if Brandon Williams simply produced a flash in the pan. He's low risk, high reward.

Hey now he has already passed the legend that is Armanti Edwards 4.0!

Why are you guys talking about Williams blocking being subpar...see Greg Olsen and Brockel. Those two have a worse impact on our run game than the opposing defense. At least Williams will engage someone, something Olsen seems hesitant to do and a difficult task if you are on the ground...

Peyton can make about anyone look good; Cam isn't there yet.

This.

I'd be happy if Williams catches 20 balls for 200yards and 2TDs this season.

Maybe you meant Dante Rosario? But hey, Clerks II was fuging hilarious.

 

yea, it was a joke :) referencing how they put Rosario Dawson on the graphic during the game.

Brandon Williams better man up and make a name for himself or else threads like this don't mean a fug...

Let's not forget, this is Thomas' third season and he didnt really contribute his first two.  Haven't seen enough of Williams to validate him being a baller, but a lot has been written which indicates he might be solid.
