RockRaines Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 03:36 PM) Nobody is arguing with you here. We all agree with the kids. Bradley Roby sat out with an "illness" in the gator bowl a few years ago. Everyone knew why he sat out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illinilaw08 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 03:28 PM) I could care less. It is that NFL contract that is the winning powerball ticket. The players don't get a damned thing from winning a national title. If they feel like sitting out to protect themselves, more power to them. Â This. I have no issue with any of these kids sitting out bowl games/playoff games/Junior or Senior seasons to preserve their draft status. Once they have established themselves as an early first round pick, they get no additional benefit from the college system. Losing millions of dollars in guaranteed earnings to help your school win a national title is a really, really one sided transaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to be a lottery pick, go. It doesn't matter if you "aren't ready" or anything else. If someone else is willing to pay you, and start your clock towards free agency, take it.

dasox24 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'm all about NFL-bound players sitting out meaningless exhibition games. I would hate to see them get hurt. But also, from a selfish standpoint, unless my team is playing in the Playoff, I'd rather see what the young guys can do. It would be a good chance to see what next year's players are looking like.
