Why is everyone hopping on the Ricky Williams bandwagon?

[TeeMoney]

Why shouldn't we be optimisitc??

... from where I and a lot of people sit, there is plenty to be jacked up about.

:eek:

Don't count on RW for much, if anything. Remember, it's not hard for a rookie RB to be solid, if not dominate. Also, we've got Gordon, don't underestimate him, he was injured early last year, he could (should) be pretty good.

WELL IMO KAY JAY HARRIS WILL COMPLETE THE RBS IF WE ONLY KEEP 3 EVERYBODY KEEPS 4GETTING OLE KAY JAY


How about this run? http://www.letsgomountaineers.net/m...yJayHarris3.wmv

we don't need ricky we have r.brown and we will be alot better this year mark my words.

Im optimistic about Ronnie. I couldnt care less about Ricky...in fact I'll be amazed if he lasts the season without quitting or getting suspended again. No real loss if he does though....its not like we need him anymore.

I still dont want Ricky back and even after all of the excuses given by wicky wovers I still dont buy it. There is no way this will be good for the team in the lockerroom and that is a huge part of the game. Do you really think JT and Zach are ok with it??? I dont, they wouldnt contradict the new boss in public. It would be a nightmare for the phins if jt, zach or anyone else came out and said they dont agree with the organization.

This is getting disgusting. The man hasn't played a game of a football in a year and is still 20 pounds from his old playing weight and somehow we are going to have the most dominent backfield in history :confused: AND we still have an unproven rookie :confused:

Just get real man. The wetight obviously isnt a big deal, we know what natural talents ricky williams and ronnie brown are, so why not give them a shot?

So Zach and JT are liars because they don't share your opinion? Maybe they realize a player with that kind of talent and proven performance in the NFL gives them a better chance at winning. Winning will cure any locker room problems.

So you thinking that an undrafted rb will make the team over Morris, Minor , Gordon, Williams and Brown? I always root for the underdog to make the team, but I am also realistic.

If wanting to avoid paying the $8.6 million makes him play hard then who cares if he's doing it for the wrong reasons? Look at it this way. Why do you go to work everyday? Maybe you're lucky and enjoy your job and don't need the money. It's more likely you go every day so you can pay your bills. I don't see any difference between that and RW coming back because of the 8.6.

If he goes out and plays like we know he can, I don't think anyone on the team will be concerned with whether or not he gives a rat's @ss about them.

How long will his head be on straight? How many weeks or months will it be before he has another meltdown? Has the man gotten the proper medical help with his condition, that he should even think about playing football again? I go to work cause I need to make a living, and pay the mortgage, however I never just get up one day and decide to quit and live in a smoke filled tent everyday for 10.00 a day.

Some fans are thinking Ricky is the savior to the Dolphins, when they are not even asking the question, is the man himself healthy enough to be playing footabll again?

There have been many players(mostly star players) who had season ending injuries in T.C and still came back 100% the following season, and yet we never doubt their return. Ricky took a year off to study,smoke weed, get himself physically and mentally healthy,exercises yoga, and now we think he won't be anything more than just a body out there? He's rested!

We can't dwell on his weight, do you really think injured players stay at their playing weight in the off season? They can't! But, we never doubted them.

It's well worth the gamble. They are going to have Ricky as a backup RB. They don't have to depend on him. If he freaks out then they lost a BACKUP RB. They still have Lamar Gordon who is a really good backup to say the least, so the gamble is worth it IMO.

Nobody is asking him to be a savior, they are asking him to be a contributor. Like I said before, if he carries the ball 10 x's per game that saves a whole lot of wear and tear on Ronnie. Ronnie is going to be the savior as far as the running game goes NOT Ricky.

 

[HybridPHIN 23]

Raekwon is a negative nancy......... no offense or anything
But he/she doesn't act like a phinfan.. no love for the boys in aqua and coral

 

[DeathStar]

It's about winning and we have a better chance winning with him then without him.

finally, someone with a brain is talking.

Agreed, it's a low risk situation. A roster spot, some cap room and a locker, for a player who once was one of the best. As long as he is viewed as a back-up/part time player, that we are willing to part with at any given moment/as soon as he decides he doesn't want to play anymore. Some people here expect him to be just like he was when he left, no questions asked. Those are the people that I fear are going to be in for a big disappointment.

I would just hate to lose out on a young up and comer like Kay-Jay just to have a spot on the roster for Ricky, and then he doesn't make it through the season.
