You answered your own question.
Yes.
Do you need me to point out that he didn't want to be the center of attention? THe TEAM too the gamble and their the ones paying for it. Ricky doesn't like stardom, he had a fricking social disorder for Christ's sake and these people made him the center of the Dolphins universe. HE is not responsible for this the TEAM is responsible.
It was the TEAM that took a chance on Ricky williams
It was the TEAM that made him the centeral cog in our offense
It was the TEAM that rode his shoulders for two years
It was the TEAM that gave him the ball 30+ times per game
It was the TEAM that made him captain
He doesn't owe them jack ****. How you equate Ricky owing the team anything because the TEAM made their OWN decisions and banked TOO Much on Ricky is beyond me. Does the TEAM lean on him? Obviously, but how does that make him owe them anything? It is THEIR fault that we don't have a backup plan. Don't blame Ricky blame our FO. Their the ones that failed to secure the O-line this year, their the ones that brought in a 3rd string QB instead of bringing in a big name (I have all the faith in the world for Feeley BTW but if I were a RB that takes the hits based on teh QB's performance I might question it a little more as well), their the ones that made him take hit after hit because Wanny was too chicken to play balls out football, Their the ones that threw him in the spotlight that we all knew he hated so much.
They did all this and now we're looking at a long difficult season. The guy left for his personal reasons, the trouble that is left behind is the Teams fault They put TOO MUCH emphasis on Ricky Williams Shoulders and we're going to pay for it. But don't ***** at ricky because out O looks pretty questionable right now.
Ok, let's pretend he's giving 2 weeks notice. He gave it to us on Friday which means in 2 fridays he's gone and y'all can't be sore about him leaving
People would be royally pissed had he left after giving 2 weeks notice anyway.
GUys he's my FAVORITE player or was in the NFL. I'm taking this hard too. But it's pretty lame to see people thinking a guy should carry a football and get hit 500 times for a year in a sport he doesn't even want to be in.
