Through the Smoke

I wish it wouldn't have happened to him because he seems like a good kidbut this whole class needed to learn that the nfl doesn't just give shit away...its a cruel business and you can't just have one good year and say show me the money...no one should have left early. Streeter made the worst decision hes a fifth or sixth rounder

Gore blew out both knees and hes successful. Mcgahee tore every ligament in his knee and hes successful. Cooper got a chance...a blown knee isn't a death sentence. I named three Miami guys alone that came back from a serious injury...name me 3 guys that lost everything because they came back and got injured. Bradford was still the #1 pick coning off an injury too...it barely ever happens its just paranoia. Oh and rg3 too...he blew out his knee and came back. Need more examples? There are 50 times more cases where a guy failed because he left too early than where a guy didn't leave soon enough.

I'm confused...top 40 school with a ton on connections and people are worried about him blowng out a knee...which one is it get a degree and set yourself for life or leave early and gamble?

I'm confused also, is there a reason you can't go back to school to get your degree? Plus, I think everyone from Miami has there degree. I guess I'm a lil close to this also, because I blew my knee out after my fresh year and know first hand the pitfalls. To each his own, but I bet few of the people here telling these kids to come back, could pass up the money they will be getting weather it be 1st round or 5th round money!
