CMR sad about seeing star players skip bowl games.

[The Franchise]

The NCAA needs to take some of their billions and provide insurance for all these dudes for bowl games.

Honestly, if these players are really that concerned about injury risk, some of them should not have played at all this year. Fournette was likely the first or second running back to be drafted regardless of what he did this year. Why even bother to suit up at all this season?

This is the reason they have insurance policies. McCaffrey's policy pays him $5 million UNTAXED dollars should he sustain a career ending injury. It will also pay him $3 million if an injury causes him to drop past the 40th overall pick in the draft. These are lump sums. Not NFL contracts which don't actually pay out anywhere near their total value and are taxed. It could be argued that Christian McCaffrey may not ever net $5 million over his NFL career.

Now this is a much more interesting point than arguments with key words "tough", "real man", "loyalty" etc.

Because if he got hurt during his first NFL contract or worse, becomes a bust in his first NFL contract he coukd make less than his insurance payout. I heard the guy last year got 900,000 so that isna signifigant difference.

I'd say the guy who only took out a $900K policy vastly underestimated his draft stock. Most of these policies don't require money up front so it's not like you have to have money in the first place to insure yourself.

I admit, i have no idea how these insurance policies work. Ive heard the schools help with some, the players families pay for some. How would they get insurance that u dont have to pay for? Do they offer auto insurance? lol

Easy to say when you are a multi-millionaire coach. Or a fan that works a normal job sitting in the stands.

Have any of you haters ever quit a job for a new one to make more money? Or matter of fact just quit a job because you couldn't take the pressure?

 

[bbcane]

Let's see what rict says when his son is offered a multi million dollar deal to coach another team. I bet the tone changes. It's sad

The replies from the 2 trolls pretty much displays the point. Teen tough guy troll mentality who want to fantasize how much tougher and real men they are than these athletes.

Take your L and move on.

all these replies and nothing addressing topic. I see how u trolls spam that post count.

What topic do you want addressed exactly? The topic of this thread is about low character losers bailing out on their teammates for their own personal gain. What part has you confused?

 

[kendallcanes]

Well, if we are talking about commitment - then if a player commits to a University, he should stick for 4 years. Commitment to a team doesn't end at the end of the season. Players leaving early for the draft shows a lack of commitment to his teammates. Players that do that are worse than a guy who doesn't want to play in a meaningless bowl game, yet I don't hear people bashing Njoku and Kaaya for quitting on their teammates when we could be in the national discussion next year.

These are the same types of guys that retire when they are 28 years old and say that they don't want to keep doing damage to their bodies. You think they really care about winning? How many Super Bowls did Megatron win? They want to get that pay day and go on their way.

I guarantee Fournette retires from the NFL before he turns 30.

Actually those are the smart ones. Once you have enough money to live on the rest of your life why ***** your brain up anymore ant risk an early demise.

Well once upon a time, guys cared about their teammates and winning Championships. Ronnie Lott had his **** finger chopped off so he didn't miss an extended period of time and hurt his team. Good thing other professions don't operate like this. Would suck if your heart surgeon walked out in the middle of your triple bypass because he felt like he had already made enough money for the day.

Lol. Fornette played his heart out it looked to me every time he touched the field. Any teammate that cares for him would understand his desicion.
I am sure if that heart surgeon can make more money elsewhere, he will quit and go were it is best for him and his family

You've convinced me. I'm going to put myself on ignore.

Terrible comparison.

If Kaaya and Njoku were skipping the bowl game like they are, I would disown them as Hurricanes.

Nothing wrong with making a decision after the season, bowl game included, and giving your team an entire offseason to fill your spot.

Megatron looked like he cared every time he touched the field too. And he still quit on his teammates. And he didn't do it to go make more money elsewhere.

If Kaaya is going pro, I hope he skips the bowl game.

Any time an elite talent leaves early, they are not replaced in one season. Filling the depth chart and developing chemistry is done over years. Basically, these guys not playing in bowl games just reinforces that these bowl games are ******* meaningless.

What was sad was when Mark Richt skipped those important 4 games in October with his play calling.

 

[MIATL]

mark richt can speak on this because he hasnt bounced on his players yet



people like saban, tom herman, ect cant speak on this


i give runnning backs a whole difffrent outlook on it as well where i say i understand ESPECIALLY if its a meaningless bowl game december 29th or earlier

So if during the season, you play a meaningless Division 2 game, you hold yourself out??? Really?? They call it a season for a reason...

I dont think its the same thing. And technically the bowl games are post season. After season.

I think it's, technically, the same season.

If not, early-enrollment and transfer players would be able to play in bowl games.

It's not easy to be wrong about so many things in one post, Bravo!

Unless you are coming out from injury or in rehab not playing in a bowl game with your team is a diva mentality. 10 practices can only make you better. Anything else is just a lame sad excuse.

Insurance companies treat policies like a gambler in a casino. What's the risk/reward for writing a policy on this particular person? Insurers realize it's worth the risk to offer a $0 down policy to a pro prospect under the condition of once the prospect signs a contract, he pays the premium (which is usually very expensive). Since 99% of the prospects don't have career ending injuries the season before the draft, it pays for the companies to take a risk on that 1% that might get hurt and collect a million dollar payout.

I like the idea of allowing redshirt players to play in some of these meaningless bowl games without it burning their redshirt year. Could at least add a layer of intrigue for watching some of these bowl games.

We got dudes on this board that condone beating a woman down like a man and endorsing quitters, solid member core.

They would have to care to do that.

You can't be more of a troll than this

Mark should shut the **** up.....unless he's willing to call out Coaches that turn their back on their players when they accept new jobs.
