Underrated Players - Desmond King (and Tyrell Williams)

[Topcat]

Does paying Keenan Allen money to your 4th option, while also losing your cap space for our future FA's make you feel warm and fuzzy?

Funny that TW's fan club don't like to address his new salary. Just that we may need him at some point, so he should have been signed, regardless if he could be afforded.

Yep, good point. We couldn't mortgage our future with guys like Boss to shell out big bucks for someone like Twill...

Twill isnt in the Top 5 most underrated players list, thats for sure.

TWill was not productive throughout his career in big games - he simply wasn't. He tore it up against Oakland; but against KC, not so much.

I can at least cite two big catches by Benjamin last year.

Benji wont command a big salary. He isnt a good hands guy and is a physical risk going across the middle. Twill was more complete of a player but he never was a true #1 in my book and got paid #1 money. No thanks.

Not sure what you mean by big games. TWill had 6 receptions for 71 yards @KC. Not a huge game but to say he wasn't productive? MWill, who had 2 TDs in that game, had 7 receptions for 76 yards. TWill had back to back 118 yard games in two huge road wins: @Clev and v the Titans in London. He scored 3 TDs over those two games. Both games were huge road wins against AFC opponents. In the playoffs, TWill had 103 receiving yards over the two games. MWill had 110. KA had 112. KA was the only WR to score a TD in the playoffs, against NE. TWill had 95 receiving yards in NE; MWill 68, KA 75.

He got #2 money. AB got #1 money.

Outch! I don't remember if that play could have been a difference maker.
It was in the beginning of the season.
TW was better more late in the season

Well, let's focus on the two playoff games.

Against the Ravens, his only memorable play was a drop in the redzone & the Chargers had to settle for a missed field goal. He caught two passes for 9 yards that day.

Against the Patriots, he did basically nothing the first half, when it was still a game. He looked impressive in garbage time, when the Patriot defense played softer coverage. It's not a good type of productivity.

Against Pittsburgh, K.C., Baltimore, ....... 5 big games & practically no production, & then the lack of production against New England in the first half. With Henry returning, he will not be missed.

Yep...the dropped TD...and don't forget those times Twill ran the wrong route and Rivers jawed at him...yes, Twill was good, but had his moments...
