re: Whenever Lee runs on the field Saturday

Given that quitting under these type situations is a VERY common human phenomenon, ESPECIALLY among younger people, then yeah, it is worth taking note when someone chooses to stick it out when they do not have to.

So does every player on the team who is a backup and a junior get a standing ovation when they run onto the field?

Getting booed by 90K people by 90K people when you're 19-20 yrs old aint very easy. I would argue that the vast majority of people his age could not handle such a situation and would run for the exit.

There are up and downs to being a QB at a major football power. The upside is much better than the downside. I don't agree with booing a player. However, it has happened to many players before Lee, and it will happen to lots of players after Lee. I don't recall any of them quitting because of it.

Does every junior backup on the team get an ovation when they run onto the field? Seriously. The guy chose not to quit. I'm glad he didn't quit or transfer, but that is all he did. He hasn't done anything that any other member of the team hasn't done.

Don't ever compare "not quitting" a Top 20 college football team as the backup quarterback to beating cancer. Lee is getting a full ride and access to all kind of perks. He is one injury away from starting.

He has already gotten a second chance, and he didn't do anything with it. He'll probably get a third and a fourth.

That's not really ovation worthy. Certainly no more than any other member of the team.
