And these guys are Top 5 locks. Why are our bubble 1st rounders “opting out”? It makes no sense to me.



If you have to ask that question then you just don't get it and never will

Historically the bowl games have had meaning - especially to us old(er) fans. However, this has been going on for a long time now and these bowl games just don't mean anything anymore. I feel like there was a realization that the bowl games have become more about making money than competition between some well deserving schools. If the bowl games are all about the dollar and we're okay with that, we should be okay with players being worried about the $ they could lose getting injured. A solid bowl game performance isn't likely to impact the $ they can earn going forward, but a bowl game injury will definitely impact the $ they can earn going forward.

That said - I'm super proud of the guys who do elect to play, but it no longer hurts my opinion of them if they elect not to.

Yeah, just long enough to break a personal record and then he took himself out of the game, sat on the bench and watched his team lose without him. What a leader.

Last year Malik Nabers played the first half of the bowl game to break the LSU record for receiving yards then took off his pads at halftime and didn’t play the 2nd half.

Are you me first when it comes to providing to for your family and future.

It is a GAME, not battle. Win or lose will mean nothing to the players in meaningless games. I get it is important to fans but that is meaningless compared to their future.

Just my opinion, I know you disagree
