You might be out.
The only exception are the true superstars, the Drew Breeses and Von Millers in the league but they are very few and far in between. |
W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.

Circle back 2017 draft ... Chubb, Denzell Ward, Jaire Alexander, Derwin James, Josh Rosens etc all "sat out" of their teams bowl game. Don't think any NFL team is questioning their "desire" at the elite level. Bowl games can still matter (Jake Butt & Jaylon Smith tore ACL's in bowl games) for some and not for others. As long as there’s millions of dollars worth of guaranteed money for top NFL prospects and a bloated bowl schedule, players skipping bowl games isn’t fading. |

Re: Greedy Williams
The NFL is a business and most organizations & team scouts simply don't think (see Fournette & McCaffery) like that when ultimately drafting a player.

Re: Greedy Williams
Again, that’s why I said I’m an old man. This crap didn’t happen in the 70’s-90’s. It’s going to end up like basketball where everyone is money hungry but files bankrupt shortly after retiring.

It's not 100% apples to apples, but that's my point.
If somebody told me, hey, get out there and support your teammates in this meaningless game OR have a cool million I'm going to be pulling for my guys from the first row. |
