So you're saying you would have walked out, too? That it was OK to leave considering the situation?
Why didn't Zach leave? Why didn't JT leave? Why didn't Chambers leave?
Because they know better. They're not children. And they're not quitters.
Dave might have screwed up, but not until Ricky left did everything unravel.
Apples to oranges. NONE of those mentioned were run into the ground as Williams was. As I said before, if you are trying to blame all of the Phins problems on Ricky leaving last year, then it is clear that you really don't follow this team. You should be thanking Williams for bailing. If he had stayed, we very well could have won enough games to buy us ANOTHER year (or even a contract extension) for Wanny. Let me clue you in on something, Ace, sometimes in order to move forward, you have to take a few steps back and regroup. That 4-12 season was looooooooong overdue (I bet you can't remember that last season that we did that poorly....I can). This team has been beating the odds for years by not having losing seasons. It was just a matter of time before this meltdown occurred and the entrance of Jimmy "The Pork-faced Satan" was the beginning. The downward spiral continued as Dave failed to upgrade the majority of this team (and refused to address O-line issues). He continued to run Ricky into the ground while allowing the O-line to go from poor to worse. Oh yeah, Williams had a lot of incentive to stick around.
You can't compare Chambers because he never had a QB that could get him the ball, therefore, he NEVER took the beating that Williams did (Chambers took one good shot in Denver, that's it). As for Taylor and Thomas, they are surrounded by talent that helps them to make plays...so, no comparison there either.
The bottom line is that Thomas, Taylor, as well as other leaders on this team (not to mention the HC) have stated that they would not mind having Williams back. So, who the hell are you to call them (or anyone for that matter) spineless for allowing him to return? Even Dan has said that you can't hold it against him forever.....of course I guess he isn't a real Dolphin fan either, right?
If you have a problem with Ricky Williams, then that is a personal problem. The people that he transgressed against are willing to accept him back and that is all that matters. If you have a problem with it, you have two choices.....find a support group and get over it.....jump on the Bucs or Jags bandwagon. In the end, your opinion of Williams really doesn't mean squat.
