We need more players like Bernard-Converse

DB is a lot easier to play and not worry about injury than dline

Plus I think LSU was better without Gaye on the field
I think Savion Jones is a better player

Nick Tiger did you see MNF ? In saying that , No matter what reason you have …You are Quitting on Your Team ! Backups looked good though.

I agree. Add Jay Ward to that list as well.

I'll never be on the side of "make them play" after seeing what happened to Jaylon Smith at ND and Jake Butt at Michigan. Smith was a lock as a top 10 pick and the injury in the bowl game made him fall into the 2nd round. Jake Butt won the Best TE Award and was predicted to be a 2nd Rounder and his injury turned him into a 5th rounder and he never really stuck with a NFL team. Yes it looks like people are skipping out and being soft, but more often than not they are trying to not ruin their shot at receiving the generational wealth that they worked so hard to earn.

Then why not just stop playing after the 6th or 7th week to make sure you don't get hurt in the last 5-6 games? Better yet, if you have a good Sophomore year, just sit out the entire Junior year.

I'm not going to fault any of those kids for opting out. Bowl games should be treated as pre spring game. It should be used to get playing time for kids who are competing for a starting position the following year or for kids that have 3rd round or lower grades. It's a great game to give kids some playing time and experience in a real game situation.
