Jeff Duncan's take

Reading Duncan’s 2012 articles on bountygate, I can see why some feel a way towards him. Its journalism to give an unbiased perspective though. I see it as an accountability piece to make a necessary culture change for the team. It’s not like he called out the FO, city and fans.

I’m 50/50 on it also. Punishment was full of inconsistencies. But Williams, Vitt, and Payton shouldn’t have put themselves and the team in that position in the first place to interrupt a great run, mainly Williams and Vitt. Nobody to blame but WVP.

It’s not that deep for some to be classless towards Duncan over a columnist opinion like he was the one who caused bountygate or the punishment by writing about it after the decision

I think most of the vitriol has to do with the popular opinion that Duncan was using Bountygate and hope to please the NFL with his take to boost his career.

I was never convinced that was the case but I understand the POV. I think he is just ok as a writer, he's not what I would call a football expert and a lot of his stuff is rather simple and obvious.....
