Just because it’s meaningless to you does not make it so. I’m sorry but I am so tired of this type of talk. It means something to many of us (especially me) and I’m sure it matters to many of the players.
That stat absolutely matters. As someone else pointed out, there's risk in everything. Should he not prepare for the combine for fear of getting hurt? If there's a .0001% chance of getting hurt that's far different than a 25% chance.
I think he looked crisp last Saturday. Four more weeks from now? Thinking it’s all systems go.
If he plays, great. If he sits, fine. His choice here. Would be excited to see our other players get touches.
No it doesn't matter. There's nothing to gain from playing a middle of the road bowl game and much more to lose.
No $#17. I'm excited that we are in a bowl game, even if it's a middle of the road one.
Couldn’t that have been said for the BC game? What’s the difference?
Good point. Maybe that's why he appeared to run so tentatively. Saving it for pro day.
What exactly are you going to do for Tucker if he does get hurt and ruins his draft status? I'll help. Nothing. Right before the baseball draft last year, a top pitching prospect hurt his arm pitching in the state tournament. It has cost him millions. His whole life, set up for him if he had sat out. His good friend, also a pitcher, sat out because of the injury to his friend. He is now a millionaire. In the long run of life, this game is meaningless. We are talking about a young man's future. Chances aren't all that great that he would get hurt. But why should he risk it? If it was your son, what would you tell him? You owe it to your school and your friends to play? Or, you owe it to yourself and your family to make sure you are wealthy and taken care of for life? If it was my kid, I would tell him to sit it out. Root like heck for your teammates.
I never said it wasn't his decision. I also believe it's his decision. It's the people saying he absolutely should not do it that are trying to tell him what to do.
I'd tell him to do what he wants. I'd say you could get hurt and cost yourself a boat load of money. I'd also say it may be the last time you're ever a starting player for the rest of your life. You're an adult and you have to weigh the pros and cons and make the decision based on what you value.
What you just said goes without saying. At the end of the day, he is going to do what he wants. If he wants to play, we will play him. If he doesn't, we will play without him. If he plays, I will cheer for him as I do for all of our players. If he doesn't, I won't give it a second thought. We will go with what players we have that want to play. My only point is that if I was asked my someone, anyone, in that position, I would advice them to sit it out. Go have a great pro career and thanks for everything you gave the University that I got my degree from and root for.
agree and would be nice to see Price come out of witness protection too. if Sean plays, I would of course be happy with that but I totally understand if he opts out.
No one that is saying he shouldn't play is telling him anything. We are giving our opinion of the situation. He will do whatever he wants to do. I will support that decision. I wonder if he decides not to play, will the people that want him to play be as supportive?
I can go further than that and take your argument to its logical conclusion; football is a dangerous sport and can cause permanent brain damage. What are you going to do for him if he gets a TBI in the NFL?
