re: Just a reminder about Stingley

His Dad is routinely on OTB. I don't remember him criticizing anyones decision.
He said, all families have different needs. If a player can make millions, and his family is poor, why should I criticize their decision.

Yeah I didn’t think he specifically criticized those guys. At the same time, Stingley’s family situation is a lot different than some of those other players and his dad doesn’t really hesitate to talk about areas where Derek Jr. needs to improve.

I don’t think Stingley opts out, for the same reason that I don’t think he plays both ways next year - his dad wants him to be a great NFL corner and likely recognizes that he didn’t get a normal year’s worth of improvement this year between Pelini’s defense and injuries. But that’s just me reading the tea leaves.
