re: Greedy is really letting down his program

quote:

---

Playing the game (that is your career)- necessary

Playing a game of any kind never has been, nor ever will be, necessary.

The only person who's confused here is you.

quote:

It's about honor. Integrity. Respect. Those of you defending this behavior are what is wrong with society. Period. Money and greed (no pun), over honor, integrity, respect.

Good Lord, don't strangle yourself clutching those pearls.

I'm sorry so many people are still pouting about a college student making a choice in the best interest of himself and his family, but the world will keep spinning, I promise.

quote:

---

Again, necessary risks and unnecessary risks.

---

players weigh the risk of injury vs wanting to finish off the season with ones team and teammates and very few seem to think the risk of playing is untenable and decide to go ahead and play the game. Greedy is one of the few that has decided that the minor chance of injury is more important to him than being a part of his team and playing in this one last game with them. Nothing against him but it does point to a lack of character or a character issue, not that he can't outgrow this issue as he matures into manhood as I hope that he will.

quote:

---

Waking up - necessary
Walking - necessary
Making breakfast - necessary


I think you are the one greatly confused on what necessary and unnecessary risk is.

You literally compared waking up, walking outside and slipping on a curb to playing in a bowl game with no implications...

quote:

No one ever said they weren't small, just that they exist. 



And the odds are just as great as waking up and walking outside and slipping on a curb..... It's ridiculous to try and argue this point.

What would the program do for him if he got hurt and never played again

They certainly would not write him a 30 million check

Man you are the dumbest person on this board by far. You logic is that of a 1st grader.

You won't heat that from me, but I will give him a ton of credit for winning the game with so many players missing.

However, I do look forward to seeing the people bashing Greedy saying that recruits read this board and that it has such a huge impact on recruiting. It's so quite interesting that Trey Quinn gets love on the board for every catch he makes even though he "quit" on LSU.

Literally 0% chance of this game winning us anything other than this game.

what did we win in any other of our games other than 'the game'. You want to win games and not lose games because that is what you do in college football. Perhaps there is a trophy given at the end of this game, don't know.

Most people view wins and losses and poll rankings as important regardless of whether the team wins the NC trophy or any other tangible item or not. This game will have a huge effect on how this season is perceived and on our final poll ranking. It would put us back in the top ten for the first time since 2011 and along with the great 2019 recruiting class and hopefully another top 10 or better finish in 2019 along with a great 2020 class will put us firmly back in the mix for the playoffs and in better position for beating Bama and winning a NC.

In hos situation and not in the cfp i 100% sit out and my teammates striving for the nfl will respect that.
