Given, he can back up just about everything he says, he does put out a good bit of smack under his goofy arse breath from time to time.

Whether it’s doing the dirty bird after the game winning touchdown in the Georgia game or essentially calling Vanderbilt garbage in an interview with Gruden, I don’t think I’ve seen a player less embody the traditional image of a bama football player than Williams.

Some people have got some selective arse memories around here.

I don't think it's just Alabama. The generation that's playing right now has never really been penalized for being insufferable gloaters.

Weirdly enough, I just saw an interview with Ryan 2 days ago that made me grateful for him being on our team. An interviewer asked him about fan interactions and is it overwhelming/too much and he was basically like “I love our fans and we only get to do this once. Sometimes I see people see me and it’s like if you want to come say hi I’ll definitely talk with you unless I’m in a rush to practice or class”

He’s obviously talented as hell, well spoken, stays out of trouble, shows up during recruiting weekends to help recruit, works hard. Decided to stay with Alabama when Saban left.

I’ll take 85 Ryan Williams’ on my team.

Yeah i usually don't like when players are so boisterous but he is likable. Seems pretty genuine, and seems to have a great work ethic.

Yeah this is my sentiment as well. He seems to be one of those “best player is your hardest worker” kind of guys. Very odd how he’s able to gloat in such a humorous way he’s like a skinny little teddy bear.

Me personally, I prefer some modesty and not saying too much off the field but he's a grown assed man. I'm not his old man and I'm not paying his NIL money, so I figure he can say pretty much whatever he wants.

I will say, I hope he and the team are ready to back up the comments on Vanderbilt. Not saying I'm "afraid" of Vanderbilt but clearly, you cannot take any team for granted. My hope is Bama beats the living dog doo doo out of them and Diego Pavia can barely walk by the time to clock reads zero.

Of course, it helps not having Radio as the QB this year.

Milroe wasn't the reason Diego Pavia punked us last year.

Maybe but his ability to make a back breaking interception or just play horribly was always there.

He did throw a pick six against Vandy that ended up being the difference in the game.

You want to blame him for the Tennessee, Oklahoma, or Michigan losses? I'm right there with you. He sucked all three games. But for a tip drill pick-6 on arguably DPI in the Vandy game? Nah. That was on the defense. Offense did more than enough to win that game. Defense couldn't stop shite the whole game. They got their asses pushed around all game.

It wasn't entirely on Milroe but he didn't exactly help his team out. I recall a pick 6 before the half that put Vandy up by two scores. And aside from that, he was his usual inconsistent self.
