Miss Texas USA, Brooke Daniels. The one Roy Williams let get away.

Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams has been nothing but ridiculed since joining the team after a ridiculous trade by Jerry Jones. Williams has yet to live up to the hype and his time with the team may soon be coming to an end.

To add to his embarrassment as a Cowboy, Williams made headlines the past few days after suing  former Miss Texas USA Brooke Daniels.

Williams apparently sent a recorded marriage proposal and $76,000 engagement ring to Daniels through the mail. Daniels rejected the proposal like any self respecting person would do after receiving a marriage request in a letter.

The good news for Williams, he got his ring back today but there is still a giant void in his ego. The only way to sum up Williams during his Cowboys career and in his marriage proposal is by saying that he really dropped the ball on this one.

First off, the experts are asked if Roy Williams is truly a better No. 2 receiver. Not really, they said. He has only caught 44 percent of the 39 passes thrown to him in Detroit. It must be noted, and they do, that he had Jon Kitna and Dan Orlovsky as quarterbacks. He was 57th in the league though. Patrick Crayton, on the other hand, was 22nd in the league. Miles Austin was even better. These guys were good enough for the Cowboys when they had the potent offense last year. Now they are not? I am no fan of Crayton, but I just think trading for Roy Williams was not a necessity. Not now. 

Secondly, an eerily close to what actually happened, the outsiders predicted how well Brad Johnson would perform based on his history. He’s had years where he threw very few interceptions and others where he has thrown too many. They predicted that the Cowboys would have a lot of stalled drives by sacks because he wouldn’t be able to avoid the defense. Boy, were they spot on with that one. Plus, he threw three interceptions.

But what might worry fans the most is their prediction that the Cowboys only have a 35-percent chance of making the playoffs. Here is a snippet from the piece:

We know that, on average, teams that are 4-2 after six games win an average of 9.5 games. Teams with four wins in their first six games have a 62.5% chance of making the playoffs.

Using this model, we can denote the relative importance of a game contextually; if the Cowboys win this week, for example, they’d be 5-2 through seven games; teams with that record in the past have averaged 10.2 wins per season, and make the playoffs 76.7% of the time. That would mean that a win against St. Louis would boost the Cowboys’ playoff chances by 13.2%.

On the flip side, a loss to the lowly Rams would hurt the Cowboys’ chances dramatically. Teams that are 4-3 through seven games average only 8.6 wins and make the playoffs less than half the time, at 49%. That would cause the Cowboys’ expectations of making the playoffs to fall by 13.5%.
