Duke Williams kicked off the team

GP for Bama · Oct 5, 2015

I wonder if any reporter will have the guts to interview Duke about how they talked him into coming back this year? I doubt it.

Not completely out of nowhere. I wonder, what was the straw that broke the camel's back?

This is basic "addition by subtraction". Duke has been a cancer on their program.

It sucks, but you're right. Too bad. He has all of the tools.

You know Dub, at some point, a coach just has to say "I rather lose without you than win with you."

I find Duke's downfall rather surprising. I thought he was really poised for a big season. What a waste.

Hate it for Williams. So much talent.

Not so much for the barners.

At the very least, he can sign with an agent and start training for the NFL. Somebody will give him a shot.

Bet he's kicking himself for coming back now, though.

That makes sense. He has a history.

crimsonaudio · Oct 5, 2015

This isn't going to help his NFL hopes.

Sucks - he's a really talented guy, everywhere but between the ears, apparently...

If he was having as much of an effect on the team's collective psyche as some folks have said, he should have been gone after strike two in August.

They are better off without him; his body language and lack of effort blocking stink, stank, stunk.

I know he's a barner, but it's always sad to see a kid squandering the opportunities of his youth. Someday he will probably look back and realize what he threw away.

As Marlon Brando said, "I coulda been a contenda".

Best of luck Mr Williams. Don't waste the next opportunity; you might not have as many remaining as you think.

But at this point it's: "I would rather lose without you than lose with you"

This reaks of him not making it in the league then he writes a book about how the barners paid him just so he can make a few bucks.

Well at least we could play the "he's just disgruntled" card à la Chaz Ramsey.

Snuffy Smith · Oct 5, 2015

I know he missed at least 1 game but he was basically "gone" most of the season anyway.

Edit: NBC sports says he played in all 5 games - makes those stats look even worse.

You REALLY screwed up if the barn dismisses you. Oh, well. I'm sure Gus knows what he's doing.

Snuffy Smith · Oct 5, 2015

Wow - reading that NBC story on this was enlightening. 12 catches was #2 on their team and 147 receiving yards was 3rd.

I knew their offense was bad but that's just terrible.
