This is the downside of playoff. 3 losses and kids quit

Idk, this kid is SO good, I kind of understand this. QBs are one thing. They can get injured and still make a turn around. But such an elite WR as him, maybe more than anyone weve seen.. im fine if he wants to pack it in.

Wouldn't be shocked if we see this more at the college basketball ranks.

Exactly what I predicted in a thread a month or so ago. This behavior has the promise of affecting another team battling for a playoff spot who remains on their schedule. If they defeat his team and their rival lost to them early when all were trying to win, do they get credit for beating a depleted team. Even if they don’t get the credit they lose the opportunity to beat the complete team. Difficult to explain but it will eventually happen.

I’m in the belief that he is going to have a mysterious injury that keeps him out rest of the season. But, he will be declared 💯% for Combine, we witnessed this first hand with Cal.

Didn't you fall for a fake story from X just last week from a parody account? Why do you keep posting random tweets and taking whatever you find as absolute truth? Who is "sec numbers guy"?

As of right now, Smith has not opted out of the rest of the season. I'm begging some of you to learn that there are accounts on platforms like X whose only goal is to make up stories to get folks online who don't know any better riled up. Just because a random online buys a checkmark icon and posts BREAKING doesn't mean anything is actually breaking.

Teams can barely field a team for meaningless bowl games. It’s not even second stringers in those games. Like third string players. Why would he risk getting hurt when the season is over.
1. He is a paid player nowadays…he’s getting paid now
2. 12 games in season…so 4 games he just quits
3. I think Ohio st fans would care about Michigan game
4. It distorts games for rest of playoffs when teams essentially throw games by “load management “ to use a nba term and do t try their best


The bowl games…I get them as really extra exhibition games now with playoff as real bowl game. But this ruins sports at its core as sports is built upon competition is what draws attention. Start throwing that away and you lose your core

I’m sure it makes you feel better about yourself to **** on fellow fans but you come across like a tiny dickheaded infant. Calling one of the smarter posters on here smooth brained is the cherry on the top “my guy”.

I guess we'll see but regardless there was some extremely negative body language and other stuff yesterday.

We'll see what he does in the nfl but he's a potential bust waiting to happen. Strong wr that just muscles everyone. Poor route running. Surrounded by elite talent and beating up on a weak schedule.

That's not going to get it done in the nfl as mhj is showing.

Boomers falling for questionable accounts posting rage bait... a tale as old as the internet. It makes wonder when they actually stopped teaching critical thinking in schools.
Even though I am a boomer, I thought that was funny. This week I received a video from my BIL who wanted my opinion of an investment in a crypto coin that is currently selling for under a penny but, according to the video, will make investors super rich. He really wanted to invest!

this says more about the player than the game. Before it was the downside of the bowl system to blame, now its the playoff. NO, its the selfish player who really doesn't care about the game only money. Which is fine, but call it like it is

Smith keeps getting underthrown balls and then is getting tackled before the ball gets to him with no call. It happened this past week and against IU. You might think the best pro prospect at WR would get the calls.
