Jimmy Chase said Normal Season, Son would play

Multiple times in his interview Jimmy said in a normal season Chase would be playing, no doubt. Further, contrary to what’s been said in another thread here, they haven’t had MUCH conversation with LSU and O as they’re taking their time moving forward.

This is why I don't think this will be a thing for future guys like Stingley. 2020 is just not the year to risk a lot.

can you please just put this in the other thread? thanks

No. There’s additional, and the more pertinent, information to the team moving forward in this thread than in the one that is trying to paint O and the Chases at odds.

so is the reason not playing getting hurt....so at most this season is 12 games and at most in regular season is 15....seems like 3 less games is three less chances of getting hurt makes no sense

Per the interview, Jimmy kept coming back to there just being too much uncertainty surrounding this season to play. Business have certain levels of risk thresholds, when the risk surpasses this threshold contingencies have to be put in place. Seems like what happened in this situation, unfortunately.

The decision Chase made has nothing to do with race or Coach O.
It has more to do with his current draft stock and how it could be possibly hurt playing this season.

"Uncertainty" in what respect? That the season isn't going to be played? That the season will start, then stop? That there is a risk of getting covid? A risk that is present, and perhaps GREATER outside the de facto "bubble" of the LSU program.
Just say "I didn't have anything more to prove to NFL teams after last year, and without first round draft pick at QB I didn't see any way my production/stock would increase". That is a logical premises and one I can understand. But hiding behind the ambiguous premises of "uncertainty" is silly. LIFE, every day, even before covid, is "uncertain".

Exactly. Say Chase plays 3-4 games, gets covid, and at some point the season is shut down; all of which are more likely to occur than chase not being a 1st 15 pick. What did you gain from all of that except several weeks or months of down time due to the virus.

You’re right there, but don’t act like this isn’t an additional risk. And the bubble is positioned well to keep the virus out, but if it gets in, it can wipe out an entire position group. Just like what happened with the O-line last week.
If you know you have tens of millions of dollars in one hand and can’t get all the answers you want with the other choice. Why go with the second?

And possible long term problems from the virus, I know kids his age arent dying but 30 percent have lingering issues. Also, idiot fans think this has something to do with Ryan Clark. It doesnt, neither does it have anything to do with Coach O and politics.
Coach O is really apolitical and cares more about his players than politics.
However, I will say Chase is concerned about the QB position and how the practices are going right now.

why would O make time for you after you decide to bounce?
he's got a MASSIVE organization to run, and you ain't in it anymore.

I'm sorry, I missed that headline... are they all dead or nah?
Posted on 9/2/20 at 10:19 am to TheFlyingTiger
Nah still kicking, but some still haven’t returned to the team.

No, if that was the case then he wouldn't have played if it was a regular season. The season can still get derailed at any minute. You could easily have a lot of starters out for multiple games which could ultimately affect his performance. What happens if Brennan has to quarantine for 2 weeks and suddenly Chase has a freshman throwing to him.
LIke it or not this season will be normal and will always be seen with an asterisk.

It's a risk that is present whether he plays football or not. The only difference is outside of the LSU program it is unlikely he and the people he is primarily in contact with would be tested as frequently, and/or that he would have as ready access to top not health care. There is a reasonable argument to say he is MORE at risk outside the relative confines and structure of the football program.

They were quarantined out of extreme precaution, not necessity. From what we know, no one experienced significant symptoms and certainly no one died. So it's hard to say it "wiped them out"
The guy made a business decision. One that is understandable. But saying it was one made because of the uncertainty of covid is probably a bit illogical.

If the season works then great. But, there's a good chance that many teams could have several players out with the virus if it breaks out worse than it did with our Oline. We barely have enough conferences playing already. Does the virus kill everyone? No, but nobody knows how it's going to affect the next person, especially a 350lb overweight guy.
There is a possibility that teams could have to miss games due to having several players who get the virus and have been in contact with those who don't know they have it yet. Nobody is going to risk playing that team.

The common cold, mono, and the flu all carry a small chance of myocarditis, just like Covid-19. Very very small chance.
There is no statistically significant risk to a 20 year old from this disease. You want risk? Look up concussions.

Jimmy Chase sure does like to hear himself talk. His son is not on the team any longer. Please shut up and move on we don't care Jimmy.
