You’re conceding that it’s different from the perspective of the players.
I don’t understand your reply. I gave a reason why it makes a difference to coaches and fans. My supposition…Players opting out because they’re preparing for the NFL represent a bigger loss to their team than players opting out because they want to transfer to another school.
Did anybody who opted out actually say it was due to the risk of injury?
Stupid. College students are preparing for their next step in life. Making the best decision for that step is not quitting. It is smart.
I was waiting for you to come up with that very specific example. But like I said in my first reply, I offered up the ‘generalization’ of the difference in quality levels of the 2 different player opt-out types. I’ll stand by that generalization being very appropriate.
Is it possible, just possible, that the absence of any facts about the motivation of the players who opt causes stupid reactions from stupid people?
OR, they have a bunch of young men who are fulfilling the commitment they made to Alabama, Nick Saban and each other.
My personal favorite is making room for the younger guys.
I choose to make my judgments on known facts and not on something I think a person may be hiding.
Nonsense response. Players transferring are either nonstarters or or bad teammates. They are leaving for a reason and they are not wanted or needed for these games. Slovis was not wanted by the coaches and not needed. Abanikanka was wanted by his teammates/coaches and needed, but he quit on his team just like Kenny did last year. A big difference between the two.
No one has to play. Alabama players chose to be part of their team and played while others just quit on their teammates, coaches, and fans. Last year Kenny was offered a huge insurance policy. He still quit on his team. UCLA players played. Why was that?
Sam Hartman played. That totally goes against your argument. His coaches wanted him to play and he wanted to play and not be a quitter.
I’m not arguing anything, you were the one that said players transferring were either non starters or bad teammates, those were your exact words.
He did, but the posters comment was players transferring are nonstarters or bad teammates. As it turned out Hartman was decent, but had he played poorly people would say he didnt care because he was leaving anyway.
Lol. Not at you, but Duzz practically spits while uttering anything relating to the QB and/or his leadership this season.
People like you are misinformation in human form, someone who makes stuff up from thin air that contradicts the direct statements of the subjects.
Let me repeat what I said since you seem to ignore it.
Have all the preferences you want. Just don't cast disparaging remarks at players without basis.
Joe’s looking like a fool trying to make his case based solely on his speculations.
