You guys ever stopped to think that the so-called experts are talking down on Gregory simply because he’s a Cane? Can't give the Canes too much attention / exposure with TWO first round picks at the same position?
You do realize that we like other teams struggled with COVId right? It wasn’t a walk in the parkWhat I never understood is why it was thought to be safer away from the team and it's safety protocols in comparison to signing with an agent an being on your own in different cities training around people who's not constantly being tested?
I think Covid was used as an excuse to save his draft stock and get some quick money. He quit, signed with an agent and bought his mother a house or whatever. Every kids dream is to be able to take care of their family so I get it but just be honest about it. I wish there was data to compare the efficacy of transmission over the past season as a football athlete compared to a normal citizen.
He's still gonna make a boatload of money regardless. Not a personal shot at you but as fans we get a little selfish and put the team over everything and everybody.Super stupid shortsighted decision to opt out. I said it at the time too, so it's not 2nd guessing.
Less than a year of tape. Disappointing at Pro Days, and nothing to improve after sitting out.What the heck are you talking about combine numbers didn’t help him? He ran a 1.57 10 yard split and a 4.7 at his size. He’s elite.
Cmon bro! The kid did what was best for him. Of course we're gonna say it was foolish for Greg to opt out because he didn't stick around to help the team, which is all the average selfish fan cares about. Not a shot at you by the way...Less than a year of tape. Disappointing at Pro Days, and nothing to improve after sitting out.
That's what I am talking about. Questions from NFL make sense.
Get real and stop talking elite.
He is good, not elite by those numbers. Wake up, and face numbers reality.
It’s stupid and shortsighted because he could have made way more by not quitting after playing 8 games as a collegian.He's still gonna make a boatload of money regardless. Not a personal shot at you but as fans we get a little selfish and put the team over everything and everybody.
He actually did what was worst for himself.Cmon bro! The kid did what was best for him. Of course we're gonna say it was foolish for Greg to opt out because he didn't stick around to help the team, which is all the average selfish fan cares about. Not a shot at you by the way...
Why can't everyone be a true fan like you and simply wish the guy well instead of bashing him because he didn't stick around to help elevate our season and bragging rights ? Tired of guys pretending to be concerned about his draft stock when you know you wanted the kid to stay simply to help the team. Had he came back and got injured ( thank God he didn't ) the first thing everyone would've said was " Tough break, " feel sorry for the kid..." probably should have turned pro" lolBut but Covid.....
J/P lol I’m happy for Greg. Hope he balls wherever he goes!

Why you counting this man's money? It's his problem, not yours, and it's a good problem to have, especially after one season of work. Just admit you're ****ed because he didn't stay to help your favorite team, and stop pretending to be concerned about his livelihood. Man up homie! 15-0!It’s stupid and shortsighted because he could have made way more by not quitting after playing 8 games as a collegian.
Did you not see how many of our players/coaches got COVID?
Fortunately, he was not asked if his mother was a prostitute.
WITHOUT A DOUBT!!
Because we ALL know how much it bothers you whenever you're asked that question by VICE at church or at work
Sounds like a great place to catch covid from kids that played this year.Looks like Greg is one of 10 players who have confirmed they will attend the draft in cleveland. Others who have confirmed include Patrick Surtain, DeVonta Smith, Mac Jones, Christian Barmore and Trey Lance, Kyle Pitts, Micah Parsons, Caleb Farley and Ja'Marr Chase
His pro day numbers were great. That was my comment combating yours saying he wasn’t good at the pro day. You’re flat out wrong.Less than a year of tape. Disappointing at Pro Days, and nothing to improve after sitting out.

2018, but we didn't know about it...When was the last time we had a worldwide pandemic?
NFL teams may decide that they rather someone who did play and I understand that and your point about the risk there, but certainly there is more to consider in regards to sitting out a season compared to previous years.
Define struggled?You do realize that we like other teams struggled with COVId right? It wasn’t a walk in the park
Newbie........Sport Illustrated is blasphemy on CISThe Year of the Opt-Out Prospect
For the players who sat out in 2020 to protect themselves (and others) from COVID-19, the choice not to play another game before the draft was a complicated and fraught one.www.si.com
So far Gregory Rousseau has interviewed with more than 20 NFL teams in the lead-up to this month’s draft, and so far each video call has followed a similar line of inquiry. “Just different voices every time,” the former Miami Hurricanes defensive end says, “but it’s the same stuff.”
First the team officials on his Zoom screen start with small talk, lobbing softballs about his football background. “Like, ‘Walk me through your high school, walk me through getting recruited to Miami,’ ” says Rousseau, 21, a Coconut Creek, Fla., native whose 15.5 sacks as a sophomore in 2019 ranked second nationwide. Then the officials scooch closer to their cameras and someone segues with an ominous Soo . . . Rousseau knows what is next. “They always ask why I opted out,” he says. “It’s like clockwork.”...
...A similar attitude flooded Rousseau’s DMs after he announced that he would forgo his junior year with the Hurricanes. Members of the program had cheered him on—“My teammates all told me, “Go train hard, chase your dreams, make sure you get paid!”—but some diehards were less sympathetic. “Obviously fans were mad,” Rousseau says. “I got a lot of hate on Twitter, telling me I’m a quitter, a sellout, that stuff.” The barbs stung at first, but Rousseau got used to them. “I saw it from their point of view, like ‘****, this dude opted out; he quit on the team,’ ” Rousseau says. “They’re feeling hurt by that. I understand it. It’s not personal.”
