I wish I knew why it didn't click for him this year. I'm sure it's partially his fault and partially the fault of the coaches/Romo. But I want to see what he does in the first few games next season.
My problem with Roy is that there isn't a really much evidence that he isn't a 1 year wonder. Yeah, he had a pretty bad situation in Detroit, but Calvin Johnson managed to turn that into a 1300 yard, 12 TD season regardless.

My only defense of him is that he was injured and just never able to develop the chemistry with Romo that he needed. He is going to have something to prove next year, and I'm not entirely convinced he will do it. But we will see.

The guy is just really, really talented. I'm not sure he's ever consistently shown it, even in college, but when you see the flashes you realize how good he can be.

That's what I'm holding out hope for. I've gotta wonder if maybe that plantar fascitis and hardly practicing didn't severely hinder him this year. I guess we'll see. But don't be surprised if he comes out firing on all cylinders next year. He's got as much talent as any WR in the league short of the Moss/Fitzgerald tier.
