Get rid of Kyle Williams or keep him? | Page 5

SanDiego49er · 2012-01-27T02:12:58-08:00

A history of major choking on the big stage in both college and the pros. That usually doesn't get better. He fumbled the punt against AZ in college at the end of the game to lose too. Same thing in the NFC Championship. 2 punt fumbles, 1 reverse fumble, diving for balls for the catch on the punt that he doesn't need to. The bigger the moment and game the mess ups with this guy. I had high hopes for him at slot WR. But I don't care anymore. He is the type of guy who will blow up your team and your season. Find another slot WR. I never, ever want to see this guy on a 49ers uniform again. Not even in training camp or preseason. He's a choker. And those guys bury you. He did it once. Do you want him to do it again? Because I think he will. That's what chokers do. Let him choke for some other team. Put him on the Giants and let him do returns in the playoffs...

I'd be a better GM than you.

Alex would not have been a part of this team for some time if you were our GM. I don't see how we have our season we had without him.

Dont kid yourself there are probably 10-15 QBs in this league that could have given us 17tds and 3000 yards. With this defense and special teams almost any decent QB would have gotten the job done.

But lets not turn this into an Alex Smith thread.

He did a good job when healthy and has experience in the playoffs something none of our WR's have (maybe Ginn?). Only one pass to a WR is horrible and Braylon would've helped in that regard I think.

No.

Braylon was completely useless. He couldn't run, couldn't catch, and was never where he was supposed to be on any given pattern.

I don't know man... the question is: was he that way because he wasn't healthy or because he just doesn't have it? I think him being unhealthy had something to do with. He was great 1 on 1 and had the physical tools to out muscle his defender. Plus he can make acrobatic catches. So what if he's hurt and can't run the best routes. Use him as a decoy to manage the safties going deep and if the saftey doesn't follow and Braylon has the one on one match up toss it up.

The fact that he's under contract, and we are thin on receivers, it will fall to this if he's in the roster next year.

keep him. he did not single handedly lose that game for us. being unable to move the ball for 5 straight possessions lost the game. if we kick a fg during one of those drives kyle would not have fumbled. but no our offense couldn't do s**t.

had someone other than dixon ran a third and one, we would have gotten a first down, killed more clock, got at least a field goal to make is 17-10, the punt never would have happend and we would have been in the super bowl. I guess it is easier to lay it on the feet of one person to some

I think him being unhealthy had a HUGE part of it but he wasn't healthy for that game either. He looked much better before he got hurt, but he got hurt, so there was no use for him.

It's also pretty clear that he wasn't a part of the teams long term plans or they would just have put him on IR.

Maybe we should fire Jim Harbaugh for putting him out there.....

However, I propose neither. Let Williams come back and compete for a spot.

P.S. I am not sure why people are so angry with Williams, and Williams alone. The kid isn't even the normal PR guy. It is like blaming a linebacker who is the backup kicker for missing a field goal. The guy tried his best.
