He better pick up his play if he is going to "flex" on Jeremiah.

Smith has 11 catches for 162 yards and 2 TDs in 2 games. 119 of those yards and both TDs were against Grambling state. He and Williams both did zilch in their first game against a team with a pulse. I'd say they're about even right now.

I loved Williams last year and still have a ton of confident in the kid by they aren't remotely close to even. Williams did nothing in the first game and Smith would be the number 1 pick in the draft last year, this year, the next year and the actual year he is eligible.

Picking a WR #1 is something only idiots would do. You don't win Super Bowls because of WRs.

"Jerry Rice played in four Super Bowls in his career. He had 33 catches, 589 yards and 8 touchdowns - an average stat line of 8, 147, 2" They won 3.

Ryan Williams is our guy but Jeremiah Smith is one of the best WR prospects in quite some time. He was like a Julio Jones type prospect when he came out of high school. Williams was a five star and one of the more accomplished Alabama high school athletes ever but prospect-wise he's not quite the same cut as Smith.

He didnt work any harder than your average HS football player. He was born with extraordinary natural ability

Well if that’s the case Germ should be making 4mil. He’s by far the best wr on the team. Maybe the best player on the team

Wrong. You don't even understand the effort and hours put in to hone that craft.

Just a really stupid comment

Who is arguing that?

I feel our Center is the best player but sure okay

Nobody. I’m just saying. As far as Brailsford, Cublic said the same thing during the game.

Fun fact. MJ Chirgwin of the University of Alabama has more receiving touchdowns than Cam Coleman

The third string HS receiver on his team probably put in MORE effort. Good for RW for being born with gifts that few have and im glad he chose Bama(maybe) but frankly you are too stupid to understand the difference between effort and natural genetic ability

It's still hard to believe we're at this point of paying college players millions. It's crazy.

Seems like just yesterday they were wanting to shut the program down over players loaning out textbooks.

You seem bitter about your own shortcomings, have obviously not accepted that your life is your own fault and are projecting on a guy you don't know whose work ethic you also don't know because his position in life is better than yours and you resent that.

Just blind anger, resentment and projection.

The question isn't how hard he worked to get to that position, but how hard is going to work now that he's there and making almost $2MM to boot. That's the big question. If the first game was any indication, he better have a come to Jesus meeting with himself because he played scared the entire game.
