Many on the Boneyard are overly negative and critical (which is acceptable to a point due to a horrible 6 yr stretch) but at the same times speaking out of both sides of their mouths! See thread "Is Williams really the answer". If that is not condescending verbiage then I don't know what is. In regards to Williams, there is zero trust in Bob Diaco's offensive player assessment. So if the head coach of UCONN says that DW has an upside as much as any player at his position in the country, the standard Boneyard response characterizes that as it must not be true because Diaco is a terrible coach and has no clue. My observation is most are trashing Williams based on the first three freshmen starts ( which most don't believe should have happened) but at the same time kind of hedging their remarks in the event they are wrong and DW turns into a star. Then they would have to admit they were wrong and say they jumped the gun on the kid. I'm not saying he will be great for sure but do like the tangibles and am taking a wait and see approach. However, I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited about his future! I stand by my analogy of Brady because obviously if NFL coaches knew in advance how good he was going to be someday, he wouldn't have been a 6th round draft choice. The Pats obviously saw some potential which has paid off beyond measure.
Video tape was not used as a literal term, it was intended for Mike to review what has actually been said about Williams, most of which has not been flattering in any way shape or form. Williams and his parents would agree with me.
