This is what pissed me off the most about the Downs situation. I don't believe for a second that Ohio St gave him significantly more money than Alabama was offering to stay. The new staff has certainly proved they can evaluate & build up talent in the secondary. Bottom line, Downs is a pussy turncoat who ran at the first sign of adversity to the path of least resistance.

“Better opportunity”. Sounds like you need to go to Columbus with him.
I was born in Tuscaloosa, am a second generation Bama grad, and was a walk-on for four years. Few here can say the same.
But I also coached for 20 years and know what it’s like to have skin in the game from a financial and opportunity standpoint. The game becomes a lot less personal.

Dude grew up 30 miles from UGA and left his home state. You shouldn’t be surprised when he leaves a school he had been at for only a year, especially when the coach who recruited him retires.
Programs recruit mercenaries and then fans cry when they do mercenary things.

Will Anderson grew up in Georgia and I can guarantee you he’d have stayed. Most of the players on the team that stayed were out of state recruits. It meant something to them to stay for their teammates and help build the next thing.
Not Downs though. Just hop on the next easy train. Soft.

He won a natty at Ohio State and would not have at Alabama. Our problems were something one great safety wasn’t solving. frick em but he made the best decision for him.

What does a championship really mean if you just hop around to the easiest place to get it? A championship is supposed to be special because you commit to a place with your recruiting class and you work through the obstacles and overcome and win. Durant/LeBron championships are hollow.
I say he should forego the NFL draft and sign up for pop warner. Wouldn’t want it to be too tough on him.

If I remember correctly, you was all for NIL and players having the right to hit the portal to better their financial future.
All this hate towards Downs is whining to the extreme like a spoilt brat. I don’t believe he’s ever said one negative thing about Bama.
But now he’s lowdown to the core because he has no loyalty to Bama and stab his teammates in the back by leaving.
Grow the frick up. Downs made a grown man decision like most men do when it come to financial gains. You was all for players making the dollars but I get it, Downs hurt your little feelings and you’re crying about it

I feel you but if we could have exploited Gibbs better and we rode him to a natty in 2022, I would not have complained. Damn near rode Bryce to Jamo to a natty the year prior. I have been a Heat follower since Wade years and I never pondered too much about James adding two more nba finals to the trophy case. I know the players aren’t pondering that much when they go look at their trophy room.

I hope against hope you aren’t as stupid in real life as you are on here, but deep down inside I sadly know that you are and people like you walk among us.
