Don’t kid yourselves. Roy Williams is a HUGE gamble at #1 receiver. But let’s ignore that fact. Let’s look at better reasons to bring in a REAL #1. First, the Cowboys already have injuries. Local ESPN Radio hosts Randy Galloway and Brian Estridge noted earlier in the week that both Sam Hurd and Miles Austin are recovering from injuries. That makes the Cowboys’ wide receiver lineup dangerously thin leaving Roy Williams, Patrick Crayton, and Isaiah Stanbeck as your starting wide outs.
One more injury and Dallas is looking at an unknown filling in the slot. I know, I know, the idea of trading for Brandon Marshall brings up questions of ego and unhealthy competition. No one would expect Marshall and Williams to love on each other. Then again, with both on the team, Dallas would face the same challenges Arizona has, except Jerry Jones pays his players. So with money not an issue, all that remains is ego and an abundance of passing options.
Just picture it: Roy Williams and Brandon Marshall split out. Martellus Bennett on the left. Jason Witten on the right. Question: who should Tony pass to? Answer: anyone he damn well pleases. That is an unstoppable passing force combined with a three headed running beast of Barber, Jones, and Choice. That is a legacy building lineup. That is exactly what Dallas needs to be the next New England Patriots.
Trade picks, Miles Austin, and another player or two if you have to, Jerry. You won’t be prone to want to pull the trigger on this deal, but this is that once in a decade opportunity to build the next Super Bowl dynasty.
Marshall has already said goodbye to the city of Denver and its fans via his blog. He mentions the Ravens, Jets, and Bears as teams in dire need of a #1 WR. And apparently the Giants don’t need him. Marshall didn’t mention Dallas among his top teams, but you know he’d work out here. He’s a dynamic top ten receiver in the league – more proven and reliable than Roy Williams. He’s a receiver Tony could have FULL confidence in, and some competition to push Roy to his potential.
It’s a no brainer. It’s so obvious, it won’t happen. That’s my guess. But if it did…. Cowboys would reign.

I never thougt about it, but after reading this WHY NOT? Brandon is no malcontent ‘on the team’. He could fit right in and contrary to what Daniel has to say, I think if he gets signed, they would have two legit #1 receivers. Line up Brandon and Williams on the left, and a #2 on the right. Witten to cross the middle and BAM! Or three receivers on the left. This is just the kind of tactical situation Jason Garrett dreams of.
You REALLY consider Roy Williams a legit #1, despite his lack of 1,000 yard seasons? What are you basing that on, or are you sharing your gut instinct about the guy’s potential?
