Players who sit out

for money reasons or political reasons

live with it

There is only one Joe Burrow...a real leader, truly unselfish... he is in it for the team

He is gone and these guys are already forgetting what it takes to be great...

If he just had the season he just had and was in the same position as chase before the season? I could definitely see him opting out and protecting his value

He’s been very outspoken about player compensation and social issues. He wouldn’t take that decision lightly

Joe was a 4th or 5th rounder that needed another season to improve his draft position.

Round 1 talent has the option to make these types of decisions, especially when 2 conferences aren’t even playing this season. It’s nothing personal, strictly business.

Some of ya'll need to realize that most of these kids don't come to LSU because they love LSU. They come as a "business decision".

It's not about LSU. Its about going pro.

Tough pill to swallow.

There's no way to prove this, so...

shite argument, but if it makes you feel better, then by all means, carry on.

Not a team event. Senior Bowl is a favor for the players - it gives them an additional opportunity to perform for NFL scouts.

Joe Burrow had a lot to do with helping Chase to #1 wr...

It was a team effort...everyone needs the other

Chase could help support Myles...this year...

But as you said, its about money...not team or LSU

Well, yeah... you think Joe Burrow left OSU to come to LSU out of pride or because it gave him a better chance to make money in the NFL?

Deal with what? Not having fans in the stands?

Or a BLM movement aimed at destroying capitalism?

Afraid of injury is not new...

So why sit out?

Afraid h8s stock going down?

Not confident in Myles?

If Joe Burrow threw for 5,671 Yards and 60 Touchdowns as a Sophomore and you think with an upcoming questionable season, he plays with no thinking about sitting out the season, you’re delusional!

Probably got some money for on an agent.

But realistically this has not been an option until recently.

Sitting out would have sunk most players careers and the NFL doesn’t care as much now. Or maybe they do and this will be a bad decision ultimately

Yeah, I mean, Chase is still a high draft pick and maybe he saw something in Brennan.

But some of our fan base is retarded. I remember a couple guys were saying Joe Brady should stay because he would get a lot of good hunting trips.

Joe Burrow was going in to his last season looking at going undrafted.
