Legend

I didn't think he had any eligibility left? Literally was our best player last year and a seemingly great human being

 

[OrangeXtreme]

It’s a new thing where graduating players “declare” for the draft.

I saw one the other day where a player was declaring for the work force with 42 years of eligibility left.

I'm declaring for still being alive with approximately 42 years of eligibility remaining in that case.

always good to let the NFL people know if you have an interest in continuing to play

Go kick ‘em in the ball, Jack

Imagine making a declaration about a break-up or a divorce in the same manner; “I’m entering the dating pool with 50 years of eligibility (and 30 years income earning potential) remaining!"

Became a fan of him at the Holiday bowl. Dude is built like a Safety, had more gameday fire than 90% of the team and a mustache better than 100% of the team.

kind of like letting the guy behind you know that you have interest in driving forward when the light turns green.

except that 90% of punters are not actually trying to make the NFL when they graduate.

I heard it was 78%.

 

[SuFTW]

These announcements happened last year with the same questioning comments. Have people forgotten already?

 

[hungrychuck]

It’s always a sign of a bad season when your punter is your best player.

No less true in this case.

But Jack is really good and things would have been even worse without him.

Good luck in the league!

#2 punter on Mels big boardso you could be right

More like 90% know they don't have a chance. Anyone that thinks they may have one is trying.

Ain't no could, only will

fans always hate it when you spend a high pick on a specials teams guy but seriously they can affect the game as much as any d-lineman or skill player . and they tend to last longer. if you see a special talent at a position of need then pull the trigger early. remember people laughed when the raiders took ray guy in the first round. well that pick went on to pay off with several years of all-pro punting , a ticket to the HOF and an award named in his honor .
(sadly In 2011, Guy filed for bankruptcy and had to auction his three super bowl rings to help pay his debts. died in 2022)

That will be my Facebook post if she ever finally tires of my isht.

I might have to juggle the numbers a little...

and with that mustache i can only see two career options. punter or pornstar .

And only one of those options has a good long term health outlook.

I saw a video of a 26 year old guy retiring to Pattaya, Thailand as he said, "he worked long enough."

Hmmm, yeah, okay

Let me think about that: CTE vs STD
