youre talking about a player in an unproductive offense who was drafted very late as a prayer...youre not exactly going out on a limb to say he probably wont perform well

Nope. I have dropped him in all my leagues. What a shame. I was a believer.

Same here. I tried to hold onto him as long as possible, but it just wasn't justifiable anymore given his lack of production and the options on the WW in my league.

This was the point I was trying to make about those rapid risers in the week or two before opening kickoff. Drafting Williams as your late round WR6 b/c of the upside? Made ton of sense. But when the guy started coming off the board in the middle of drafts as a WR3/WR4, it gone completely out of kilter with his risk/reward.

Who are you attempting to argue with? No one made this claim. The Seattle passing game is awful. Hasselbeck doesn't have the arm that he once did. Its understandable that people would take a late round flyer on Williams. I didn't draft him, but I probably would have given the chance to take him very late. To Williams credit he did make the best catch by a Seahawk receiver this past weekend and tied for the team lead in catches (4), but that was for only half the yardage by newly signed Stokley. I don't think its a far stretch to say that he's the only WR on the Seattle roster capable of making plays over the top in a jump ball situation. Is he a lock to have a big game? Not at all, but the potential is there. I don't think consistency is a possibility, but again, no one is arguing that.The combination of anonymity, the Internet, and sociopath behavior is always an interesting mix.

Take this to the ACF and ask straight out if you should use your WW pick on Mike Williams or Branch.Too much piss in the pool lately.

No kidding.Talking about any NFL player shouldn't be allowed in the SP because any discussion you have about any player could be used by you to decide who to start, sit, put in a waiver request on, or to make a trade offer for.
The only alternative is to just exclude fantasy footballers from the SP altogether. That's the only way to make sure no one is going to make any practical use of the discussion.
Sarcasm aside, if I don't need to know anything about your team to answer your question or contribute to the discussion, I think it's fair to post it outside the ACF.

I don't. Plenty of information in here about Mike Williams and Branch. You just have to look for it. Starting another thread to rehash all the same stuff is a waste.
If everyone would search for the information first, and then if they can't find it make the post....things would be a lot less cluttered.

There is already a thread 7 pages long with some really good info about BMW. Why start another? It clutters the place, and it's like handing someone a book and skipping the first 7 chapters because you were too lazy to type two words and hit enter:http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index...+williams\

But... but... but... I had to look on the second page. If its not gift wrapped and force fed to me I just can't manage.LINK to thread from this past week
LINK to longer older thread on both players named Mike Williams
The search works great. People are bothered by those displaying a sense of entitlement. When you post your question demanding answers from others its a clear sign that you didn't bother to look first on your own. That's just damn lazy.

A lot of good information and quality opinions are missed when a new thread is started instead of bumping one that's been going for weeks (if not months).
billyjohnson

Or maybe the search function here is a complete waste. Fix that and alot of these duplicate threads go away.

The search feature here has a lot of flaws but it works just fine for a basic search like "Mike Williams"

Two of us just demonstrated that it works great.

I am by no means a wannabe moderator or a thread nazi. It's just tough seeing an obvious ACF question with no thought or insight whatsoever when there are tons of relevant BMW/Seattle WR threads out there, some of which are on the FRONT PAGE. Threads worth reading get bumped for drivel like this. It's a crying shame. BMW and Branch are only relevant to all of us in that they both used to be teammates. No problem discussing BMW bersus Branch in the WW thread ON THE FRONT PAGE but no need to start a new thread and push other worthy stuff towards the back.

Fantastic for the 1st game as the #1 WR playing most snaps. The Bears had no one that could cover him. Thanks for asking.

It should default to search titles. if you search threads its next to worthless.

A big problem I find with the search function is that in order to find information on Mike Williams you have to search all of the following:BMWBMDUBSeattle MikeMXWMXWillyMXDubMDubbyMDubBig WillyButterballIf people would write "Mike Williams, SEA" for example it would solve part of the problem. Not saying that's the case here, but it's just a rant I've been saving up for a while.

Not that anyone cares, but one of the main reasons I've stopped frequenting The Huddle is because I got tired of people telling other people where and how to post.
You don't like it, don't read it and certainly don't waste everyone's time telling people how and where to post. That's a much bigger drain than the "alleged offenses" people commit by not posting in the "proper thread".

(Rotoworld) Matt Hasselbeck confirmed that the Seahawks came into Week 6 with a concerted effort to get Mike Williams the ball.
Analysis: Williams ended up with 15 targets while no other receiver had more than four. "We gave him the sombrero, as some people would say," Hasselbeck said of Williams. "You've got the big job. You're wearing the big hat." We're skeptical that Williams is capable of producing like he did against the Bears on a consistent basis, but he's on the radar as the Seahawks' No. 1 receiver for now.
________________________________________________________________________________
IMO the Seahawks became self-aware of their woes. Without a respected deep threat in the passing game, it is very hard to establish a run. No run game plus no deep balls in the NFL is a losing formula. Last weeks win over the Bears was impressive and has a high correlation to BMWs 15 targets.
I picked him back up in a few leagues. Let's hope the Seahawks do not regress in gameplan management.

Mike X. Williams - ESPN article...
Good read...solid insight as to his recent motivations and his fall from grace. If you've followed the story, some of this is quite familiar, but this captures the entire story.

Big problem with that is that there are a LOT of folks on board who don't seem to quite 'get' how to create meaningful titles for their threads. It's as if they learned to title their threads by writing Microsoft Word documents, just grabbing the first full line of text and making it a title, regardless of whether it has any meaning.
Hey Buddy, Take this to the "Former Huddle members who got tired of self appointed moderators" forum. Ha! Kidding. I do agree with you to an extent. I see the benefit of having different venues for different topics. Redirection is fine if someone makes a mistake and posts in the wrong forum, but do it in a nice way. Some people feel they are the fantasy forum gods who never make mistakes and have the right to act as rudely as they want. Back to Big Mike Williams....Awesome article! Thanks for sharing this. I was about to throw him into a deal to balance it out before his big game last week. After seeing him perform and reading this article, I feel like he may have actually turned it around and I'm hangin on to him. I would be thrilled to get WR3 production from him for the rest of the year.

Other than BMW (which you can't search for) I have never heard any of those names used for Mike Williams, Sea.ETA: The only time any of those nicknames (except BMW) are used even in this thread is in quotes of your post.
