That being said, I couldn't care less about college football players choosing to skip postseason games UNLESS they're in the CFP (which OSU was). So I agree there's an concern there. But man, Seattle CRUSHED their first 3 picks. They did really really well IMO. If Geno is actually decent, Seattle will challenge for the 2nd best NFC team. Thought the same thing. Seattle. Dang. Usually I could count on them to fail in the draft, but not this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I think kids should skip the bowl games if they are entering the draft. AT this point they are just money grabs for the schools. Meaningless exhibition games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak knee injury derails his whole career. Joey Bosa immediately commits a targeting penalty the next play and gets himself thrown out. He realized just how much he was risking to make Ohio State another $50M and figured it was time to get his career started. I'm completely ok with a guy like JSN skipping the whole season. He already put together first round WR tape. He probably wouldn't be able to put together top 10 tape, so he sat out the season got ready to start his professional career.

But he didn't sit out the whole season. He also was telling his teammates he was trying to get back. He played in 2 or 3 games. They bailed when allegedly healthy for the playoffs.

Unless you are already counting on him getting 20 a year with upside to 25 a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to compare this to my own life: I was an civil engineering student. I hated most of my classes and generally screwed off through the ones I didn't care for. I put together a resume that had an internship, i had good grades in my soil mechanics classes. Should my employer care about me mailing it in my senior year? No, they just hired me to do things I'd already shown I could do. If JSN things he's done enough to prove he can play in the NFL, I don't fault him for leaving his team high and dry.

I'd really like to have five to six guys catch between 50 - 60 balls. Watson, Doubs, Reed, Musgrave, Jones and Deguara. IF that happens the offense is really clicking on all cylinders and the defense doesn't know who to take away. They have to cover every inch of grass.

You don't play a team sport where 80 other students are depending on you to show up. Big difference. Also, you bailing on schoolwork hardly reflects you may bail on your actual job. On the other hand, a guy bailing on his 80 teammates trying to win a championship that would be forever remembered, does possibly show evidence they could do that in their professional career.

He is a capable swing tackle and that's about it. Really shouldn't be a preferred starter he's not good enough. Don't get me wrong he still has value but he's not going to get paid like a top tier OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
