Football Rutgers Football Injury Report: Latest ahead of the Michigan game
- Thread starter Alec Crouthamel
- Start date
I know nothing but assume Duff is pulling out to stay healthy for the draft. I am surprised he didn’t do this sooner. Tough stretch of games coming up.
If anything like that were to happen and it gets well known this early in a season- it does not help his draft stock at all. I doubt it would be the case
Doubt it honestly. If I'm an NFL person I would completey understand.
Especially with the only quarterback who has been remotely capable of getting him the ball out for the game.
Duff took some hard hits against NW trying to catch a bunch of poorly thrown passes. I tend to doubt that he is shutting it down for the season.
01 speaks from personal experience. Take his comments seriously.
No doubt, because after all who has time to recruit backups, amirite?
Another reason I don’t think Duff will be sitting out future games if he is healthy, I would assume there is some sort of contractual stipulation in his NIL deal that requires him to play in the regular season games to receive the total compensation. I can’t imagine a player getting $2 M in compensation and then sitting out many games to protect his draft status if he is reasonably healthy.
That more passes than the Rutgers wide receivers, tight ends (does Rutgers have tight ends?) and running backs will get in the Michigan game.
Who's fault is this?
Those that say it doesn't matter??? You all realize that 40 times and bench presses mean zero in comparison to the team interviews unless you are just head and shoulders above everyone else in just pure talent.
Duff is getting paid- the season sucks- we have no one competent. So- you are the GM of a team like the Jet's- is this player just going to give up the rest of the season to protect his body for next year?
This is football- they don't even want a guy that doesn't play through the whistle.
His interview at the combine "KJ - what happened after the NWU game?" his response- "You know coach, we had no chance of winning the rest of the season and I am either going to cash in big time next year through the portal or the NFL, I just didn't think it was wise for me to go out there each week with "that" team"

Depends on the negotiation. Supposedly he had higher dollar offers so this could could been a negotiation clause to agree to taking less money.
Let’s be honest. It makes zero sense for Duff to play in this game.
Maybe he’s willing to forgo some comp now to stay healthily for more comp later.
That is certainly possible. He seems like a very competitive guy, we’ll see what happens.
This
I guess the Schiano Fan Boys will give Greg 10 passes this season.
Jamar Chase sat out his entire third year and it didn’t seem to hurt his stock too much
If that’s true he should lose his schollie, NIL, school housing and access to facilities
this notion of a player opting out is total BS. They are essentially under contract as paid professionals. Do your job as we all have to do
Greg has gotten a pass over almost 7 years of 75% of conference games as that’s how many we’ve lost and the % likely grows this year
Only justification for him opting out is if RU agreed in his “contract” that he can . But I doubt RU did that
People who attend games should vote with their lack of stadium attendance. Tailgate and party and send an empty stadium message so Ms Zinn hears you loud and clear. I mean we already get out watched by women’s VB…too bad the game can’t be at 9 am or 11 pm.
It might be wise to wait to confirm it's true before teeing off on him.
It was mentioned by Rick Pizzo on the B1G Network today that according to his sources, Duff is definitely out for the Michigan game.
Getting injured and bad stats don’t look good either. Everyone on the NFL pregame shows says he’s a 1st rounder. Why risk it? The competitor in me says play but this is a different era.
Greggy and the season is so bad that he has our best players making business decisions! I’m w Duff! Stay healthy
Definitely competitive but these guys are pros now. They have agents, managers, and people looking out for their long term career. Missing a game isn't going to change his draft status, but against Michigan with a D3 QB, it may just save his career.
Only part of it. Why the hell should he get to stay in his dorm, get free tuition, free food and use of RUs gym id he opts out
it’s just not ok
Why not? He didn't sign anything that said he would play all games. I doubt it anyway. It's the wild west they can do whatever the **** they please.
Keep that NIL gravy train rolling!
