Just wanna see how many losers this board has. LSU isn’t playing for anything of significance. Even if the risk of a significant injury and costing him millions are are low - it still exists. Risk vs reward, and there isn’t any reward.

20 year old kid is making a wise decision for him, his family, and his future.

“bUt hE qUiT oN HiS tEam”. I promise you none of his teammates or coaches blame him or look down upon him for the decision. And he doesn’t owe shite to any of us, if they don’t care then none of you should either.

Thanks for the memories Terrace and good luck in the league

would love to be able to say that. and maybe i would have stuck through entire career til the end.

but i’ve never had a potential multi-million dollar choice right in front of my face.
i would have killed just to be able to play anywhere past high school. Like play anywhere.

If I had the opportunity to make millions of dollars and make sure my parents never had to work again, you bet. My family comes before everything.

He showed up on campus injured and took a long time to work through to good health, had injuries early in 2019 season, and this season he was the only dependable WR. He can't fix the issues on the team so I don't fault him for opting out. This season is a joke as is, and I wish him best of luck in the NFL.

I’d like to think I wouldn’t quit with a few games left.

Yep. Team understands, they are all hoping they get the chance to play for money. Make a career of it. He has that chance and nothing to gain for the remainder of the season on the field. Team is not contending for anything so he isn’t really hurting us at this point. He gave it a shot, team is coming up short, time to move on. Thanks for giving us entertainment and helping the tigers win a title. Will be cheering for you at the next level.

Tigerfan56 - quitting is quitting, period!

Don't you think TM came to LSU with the intentions of becoming a millionaire in the NFL? And don't you think he understood that he could get hurt at any time?

If so, he knew the risks and the rewards before committing to LSU. And breaking a commitment is quitting.

Losers. Funny.

Success is built on respect of ones self. Condoning individual greed will more than likely lead ultimately to failure.

I respect TM for staying with it as long as he has
J’Marr checked out without playing a down and both could see this stuff coming.
Terrace has suffered thru vey serious injuries already.
Has anyone thought about how these Freshman QB’s lay out these passes leaving the WR’s wide open for career ending injuries?
The veteran WR’s have...

You're acting as if the choice was play three more games and get $0 or make millions.


No I’m not.

The choice is play 3 more meaningless games, with a very small chance of an injury that will cost you millions.

Or skip the 3 meaningless games and go on and lock up the millions, don’t take any chances even if the chance is slim.

Again, risk vs reward. Risk is low but reward is non-existent. Easy call.

But what if that opportunity involved making a commitment to a university and team?

Quitting is quitting, period.

Ah yes, the individual greed. Would you stay at your current job to help out your coworkers and company or if you were offered a job for double your money at a competitor would you take it?

Easy for people to condemn “greed” when it’s not their financial decision at hand

In some way he’s a quitter, but looking at the state of the absolute dumpster fire that is LSU football, I can’t even say I blame him

Wish him the best, but that was a weak move. 3 more games isn't that many.

Reward is non-existent? My guess is you are either under 30 years old or you've never been a member of a team. Finishing what you start is indeed a reward, especially when it is done under difficult circumstances.
