Because most get paid more than the rookie min.

Respect the players decision and stop crying. At the end of the day the player has the right to stay or sit out. You or me do not have the right to tell another man what is best for them.

They don't have a Ryan Clark

What about the second highest ranked WR in the draft (top 10 projection) who caught the winning TD in a natty?

Not even close to the same in terms of what they’ve proven. Marshall doesn’t have the film that Chase has in the eye of every scout in the country.

we get that, but why haven’t those top players at other teams opted out yet?
also it’s not just chase opting out, lsu has lost more than a few who weren’t day 1 or 2 picks

For some that may be the case, but we're talking big, big money that 99 percent of us will never get an opportunity to receive!

Talking about Smith at bama. The school we were comparing when the comment was made

Yea man that's it. Devonta Smith is only the #2 or #3 receiver in the draft and won a national championship in 2017.

Kary Vincent has potential health complications that he’s protecting.
Neil Farrell’s family was hit with covid in Mobile. He’s coming back in 2021.
There hasn’t been anyone else

D.Smith was viewed as the #3 WR behind Jeudy and Ruggs last year. His situation isn’t even close to J.Chase. It’s more like T.Marshall.

Devonta Smith came back because he wanted to improve his draft stock.
Not really a good comparison.

Because their program isn’t rebuilding this year?

Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne with Chubba Hubbard are much better examples.

It’s a sign of low intelligence and lack of critical thinking skills.

Need to quit acting some type away towards these kids opting out. Be more upset with the NCAA. I promise you that these highly touted recruits only go to school because they HAVE too. These are business decisions they make for their future, this ain’t about you. When you make financial decisions I guarantee you don’t keep anybody but YOUR family in mind... you wanna be mad, be mad at the NCAA. I don’t like this anymore than the next person, but damn sure ain’t going to hold it against someone for protecting their future. Sound like some fools crying about what another MAN doing with HIS life

These players....it makes zero sense to me, especially the RBs. For the most part, the refs protect QBs. But RBs returning like Etienne and Howard makes no sense.

Most haven't won a championship like Chase.

And it's improved. Just by waiting a year to a class that wasn't so stacked at wide receiver he improved his stock to the #3 receiver in the draft. He's viewed as the #3 wide receiver on draft boards. The same draft boards Ja'marr Chase is sitting out to prepare for. Meaning if he wanted to sit he could. He just isn't.

“Did you see Julio Jones junior season at Alabama in 2010? It was pathetic. “
Julio Jones Jr. year
78 catches, 1,133 yards, 7tds
35 catches more than the previous year
540 more yards than the previous year
5 more TDs total than the previous year
Set school records for catches and yards in a season
You couldn’t be more wrong
