The eventual acquisition of Roy Williams reminds me too much of Muhsin Muhammed but with a bad attitude.

They're both overpaid, past their prime, possession receivers.

Williams is 29? That's past his prime?

I don't know if Williams is past his prime or not. He went to a place where he wasn't the #1 option and at times was more the #3 option. With that he got lackadasical and his play and statistics suffered. In Chicago, it will be a completely different scenario. He will be the #1 wide-out, although Knox/Hester/Bennett will still get a lot of playing time, but Williams is the only one with his size/stature. Williams isn't old or out of his prime.
I really think the big reason his play/stats suffered had to do with him being soft mentally and not getting the love in big D. I don't think that will be the case in Chicago cause there is just no way the Bears offense isn't heavily built around him. Plus, he should be able to adjust relatively quickly and learn the system soon, which will be great.
I really like this move, but I've always liked Roy. And I have always felt the Bears needed a guy with this type of talent a top our wide receiving corps.

Wiliams will probably have about 50-60 catches. 800 yards and about 5-7 TD.
Anything more than that and I would be shocked.
Just re-stating my disdain for Williams.
