Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1497587, member: 652"] You are missing my point. Fournette sitting out would be about protecting himself from a workload at a position with a short selve life. The NFL doesn't need to see Fournette play next year to play in the NFL. The issue is why does every kid have to wait 3 years to enter into the NFL draft. 99% of players should wait 3 years but Fournette is that 1% who could play next year. The NFL should have a panel that allows some kids to enter the league after 2 years. The NFL is a private business they could allow some Freshman or Sophomores into the league but they like the current model and won't do anything. If Fournette sat out next year he would not prove anything you are saying he would be protecting himself just like teams protect themselves in player contracts. The fact the NFL has so much more power than its player's union when its the most popular sport in the country is amazing. [/QUOTE]
