Message: [QUOTE="bpo57, post: 2439684, member: 1572"] Re Simmons he got hurt in practice. He's a basketball player. Stop for a second and think how dumb it is that somebody would not play in a basketball game cuz he's afraid to get hurt. Between season end and the draft the guy probably played in dozens of pick up games where the injury risk is just as great as playing in a real game. I never said skipping a bowl game would hurt anybody's status. I said if it were me and all other things being reasonably equal then I'd take a Darnold or Barkley over a Denzel Ward or Leonard Fournette. Just my opinion. That same guy that won't play in a bowl game will probably also be the same guy that will play cautiously in his contract year for fear of injury prior to free agency. [/QUOTE]
