Disappointing how the guy gets slammed. He gave his all and damn sure contributed to our wins this season.


Yes!

Slade may not have been a superstar, but he damn sure gave 100% and was the antithesis of, say, J. Billingsley. No doubt, he put in the work and had the right attitude and that's why Saban kept him on the field. I'm ok with that. That should be rewarded.

I wish him all the best!

Yeah, but this is Alabama. We shouldn't have to make that choice.

We don't do Rudy.

We should get the work ethic AND the super star ability--See, Julio Jones, Devonta Smith, etc.

I appreciate his effort and contributions, but him seeing the field is more of a reflection of our WR bench, and what's gone wrong in recruiting there. He was a possession receiver at best--would ANYONE trade him for Kevin Norwood? He's not going to beat anyone on a toss up (Smitty), he's not going to beat you with speed (Williams), he's not making anyone miss (Jeudy), and he's not going to stiff arm/lay the wood (Julio).

Yes, I'm sure he did the best he could do.
