And ppl wonder why Prime didn’t want his son playing for certain organizations (although they massively overplayed their hand, another story for another thread).

Childhood friend played a few years in the league. Had a similar situation, it's a dirty soul less league. Stand up kid, the **** he told me and explained how the rehab and surgery were botched. Never played again. Bucs and bears.

I really dislike our team man, was hoping Travis could develop into something for us but the football Gods hate us.

Don't feel much of anything. Don't know how you guys can feel sorry for him. Homie's young and made money doing rehab and now he's done with football. It's not like he's permanently handicapped or suffering from mental trauma. He'll live.

What in the ****?
He was a 5th round pick. He didn't make THAT MUCH money "doing rehab".
As for permanently handicapped, you have no idea. I know several former Miami players that I went to school with who have serious problems. Being "permanently handicapped" is not a binary condition where you are either in a wheelchair or else you are fine. There are a lot of levels to the permanent physical limitations that retired players have to deal with.
As for the "mental trauma", again, you have no idea. Some of the CTE stuff does not present immediately, nobody knows for certain whether Jordan Travis will have to deal with issues such as these.
I was never a fan, and I hate the SemenHoles, but I can have compassion for any player whose career is cut short by injury and/or botched recovery.

Jordan Travis was one of the most elusive and annoying QBs I'd ever seen. We would have won an ACC title if he was our QB through the Manny era.

In all candor, I REALLY thought you were wrong when Travis threw the pass that Phillips intercepted. But he definitely became a big time college player. I didn’t really think his game translated very well to the NFL, but I wish he had the chance to prove me wrong as he did in college.

I wasn’t necessarily rooting for him to be a successful NFL player, but I did want him to have the chance at playing again. I never want to see a players career abruptly end due to an injury.
Now, I will say I never cared for the guy as a player. I thought he was disrespectful and disingenuous once he became a successful college qb. I know he had a chip on his shoulder and he proved a lot of doubters wrong, including me, but he was very disrespectful to some of his opponents and also in some interviews. Just came across as bitter and spiteful. Cam Ward overcame the same issues and doubters, but he was much more gracious and respectful about his journey. Always giving credit to teammates and coaches. Very confident, maybe even ****y at times, but also humble and appreciative. Cam wasn’t hateful towards those they may have doubted him or initially didn’t give him a shot. Jordan Travis’ attitude was the opposite of that.
