Roy Williams is the GOAT troll

I think Millen did a great job of putting a good football team together,” Williams said. “I think we had all the pieces. I don’t think we had it internally, as far as offensive linemen -- a good, solid base for the quarterback. But skill positions, I think we were set. But it just didn’t work out. If anybody else was to play GM on those years that he had those picks, I mean, most of those picks, you would take the same people.

to which Raiola responded

“Mike Williams has a resurgence in his career after losing all that weight and getting a shot in Seattle, which is great for him, but he was 270 pounds when he was here,” Raiola said. “We took Joey Harrington, who’s not even playing football anymore. We took Charles Rogers, who’s out of football. Andre Johnson was the next pick. We can go on and on.You go across the league, this is a different Detroit Lions. This roster’s not even close to the same. But that’s Roy. That’s Roy. It wasn’t his fault. Offensive line’s fault, we couldn’t run the ball. I mean, we had another first-round running back who’s not even in the NFL -- he’s in the UFL now -- Kevin Jones. He had a couple injuries, but I mean, that’s funny to me. Teddy Lehman was a high second-round pick. Kalimba Edwards was a high second-round pick. If you look across the league, all those picks, they’re still on that team helping that team win. Maybe one or two are not. Maybe you might mess one or two up, but not the way we did.”
