Instead of ban bets, how about a tagline bet? That way we get to keep good posters around.

To Drew, the risk was that Rousseau would sign with someone else, not Covid or injury.

I should have put the word "people" in front of "die". Yes, tens of thousands die from influenza in the US every year. No, tens of thousands under 25 don't.

I think it's only like a 25% vaccination rate for the entire population. That's off memory though. And the vaccination has to be for the right strain, which is always an educated guess. I do wonder if more people will get vaccinated from here on.

Well then, care to educate me on the EXACT figures? Please provide the same for Covid for comparison. This is from the CDC, whose data you don't trust. Death certificate data and weekly influenza virus surveillance information was used to estimate how many flu-related deaths occurred among...

Sure, you know more than the CDC. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2017-2018.htm

Yet people under 25 still get sick and die from the flu in the tens of thousands every year. Isn't that just too much of a concern?

So you endorse players opting out during flu season?

So how many would have been not too many? What about other diseases that have killed 11 under 35? Should we be concerned about them?

She's a nurse in Broward county. There have been 6 deaths under age 25 in the entire county, And another 5 if you count 25-34.

I'm not spinning anything. I'm ambivalent to the move. I'd prefer him to play as I think that's in both his and the team's best interests, but I see no reason to think less of him for opting out. Life's too short for grudges.

Do you feel the same way when players choose to leave school early and go for the draft?

I'm not saying anything about his concerns or his reasons. Those are his and he doesn't need to justify his decision to me or anyone else. @pacusmc said it was rare, this shows he's right.

Only 23 under 25 in the entire state. Total. All year.

I hope this was the right decision for him and wish him the best, but I can't help but think it's going to cost him.

If only there was some sort of an insurance policy he could get that would protect him.

Assuming nobody passes him. Time will tell if there will be a penalty for these kids opting out. The only one that you can say for certain would not be affected is Lawrence, but he strikes me as the type who would play come **** or high water.

This thread is going to be very interesting come March. One group or another will be saying I told you so.

So what happens when the next man up turns out to be really **** good? We all heard Irvin talk about playing injured because he didn't want to lose his starting job because they guy behind him was just as good. Can anyone picture him opting out? What happens to all these players opting out when...

I would have preferred he play. I think another year of film would have put him in the top 10.
