Sir:

Go with your gut and heart.

Only.

You've given us 2 years of excellence.

We thank you.

There will be lots of voices in your ears.

Ignore any voice that potentially gains (public ego, money) from your decision.

Factor ONLY what your gut & heart says.

The money is not going to evaporate if you go, or stay.

The injury and Covid risks are above zero, but not significant.

You can find more-than-sufficient rationale for any decision you make...

However, your gut and heart are all that matters right now.

(PS: This assumes Verge's statement indicates your decision to depart is not final. If it is, good luck to a great Tiger).

Seems reasonable and level-headed

I don't necessarily disagree with your sentiment. I just have to stick with my policy of downvoting any and all "open letters".

When I really sit back and empathize...

Provided an out but I really doubt COVID played a role in this decision.

Sitting out, Chase's draft stock will not be impacted immensely but on the other side...There is huge risk if he returns and has a sub-par year. Brennan is not Burrow and if our OL is impacted, this could be a reality.

People are only mad bc he was vocal about staying. Had he said nothing there would be no bitter feelings.

More than any guy we’ve had that has a great sophomore season, it makes sense for Chase to sit out. I certainly want him to play but his decision will have no effect on my fond memories of him as a Tiger. That being said coming back would put him in the Devin White tier of guys that make me proud to be an LSU fan. I think overwhelmingly he will be loved here whatever he chooses.

Another “fan” sucking the dick of a kid choosing himself over the Team.

You realize that this statement includes you.

So, he should ignore your post.

I wonder if White regrets not staying. He had every reason to go, but to miss being a part of the greatest season in CFB history, cement yourself as the best MLB in LSU history and have a lifetime of memories reaching the summit with your teammates has to be something he thinks about.

This is what Devin said before ultimately choosing to go pro:

quote:

“I said at media day I wanted to be the best linebacker of all time at LSU,” White said at a media opportunity. “I don’t know if I’ve reached that yet. I want to win a championship for Louisiana. I see the videos of guys like Matt Flynn kissing the trophy and wonder, ‘Why can’t that be me?'”

I agree with your post, but when people say "Open Letter" I do cringe.

Uh, yeah. Saying you're staying and then doing multiple interviews saying similar hype stuff then right after that contradicting yourself completely by opting out.

When people say one thing and then do the exact opposite, well they usually get shite for it. Only a moron doesn't understand that.

Is this a letter, or a poem?

frick this. Spoiled kids foregoing the best times of their lives playing College Football, in the best environment ever. When was the last time a 100 thousand fans packed an NFL stadium? This dude will be a “has been” in the NFL in a few years anyway.

Why would any player want to play for a fan like you?

The irony of you calling this kid spoiled when you’re throwing a tantrum because he isn’t playing for your team anymore.
