The other issue I have is all the comments that are essentially "welcome to the real world." Nothing about this situation is anywhere close to the real world. The average 20 year old doesn't have his career flame out in front of 70k of his supporters and 900k people watching from home. The average 20 year old doesn't walk away to a chorus of boos from those "supporters", get death threats because of his performance, have national television shows criticize his performance, wade through baseless insults on social media, etc.
That is the route he chose in life knowing the consequences of failure. I took an easier route in my career knowing the mediocre highs and average lows but that was MY choice as is HIS choice to go to LSU

Bull. shite.
You would choose his route 100 times out of 100 if given the opportunity. Let's not act like you weighed the pros and cons of being the starting QB at LSU and chose to go a different route because of the potential pitfalls of being the QB.

But WHY is that the consequences of failure for that route? This keeps being trotted out as if it's just the way it is rather than the way WE make it. do fans have no responsibility here for it being this way? Could we simply STOP being complete fricking tools and support the players that chose our school?
For me, this isn't a question of whether it's like that or not...it is. It's whether or not it has to STAY that way. I'm arguing that it doesn't have to remain the status quo. We could, in unison, decide to NOT be assholes to our own players. We really could. Will you guys join me on that?
The problem is, too many LIKE being assholes and then turn around and argue it's just the way it is, rather than it's that way because of their own behavior.
