I was reading some of Tre Boston Tweets, and he mentioned something along the lines of it is not worth it for him to play football just for our entertainment. I think he was talking more along the lines of protection from players, but it seems he is not on board to playing. I wonder how many other players feel the same way? He also mentioned there is talks about if they do not play, do they still get paid this year.

I always have to chuckle when professional athletes talk about doing it for "our entertainment" as if it's some type of charitable effort. Let's be real, they do it for a poo ton of money.

I don't think football is played this year. As for pay, who knows? Not sure what the CBA might say about something like this or if the NFL carries any type of insurance that night cover this type of situation.

They obviously should not get paid if they don’t play. How many regular people in regular jobs get paid to not work? Players can collect unemployment benefits if they’d like.

if they don't play they don't get paid and they also don't accumulate another season on their contract

He was also mentioning the UNC Players that have tested positive as not being worth it because they do not get paid. ( Boston is an UNC Grad) However, he also mentioned the Entertainment thing.. I am confused? I can understand College players not getting paid to play football, but the NFL pays you Millions to play. Alot of us go to work everyday, expose to this Virus, we are not being paid Millions to do it.

The NFL already said they are withholding 33% of the players pay this year if the league doesnt happen this year. Also, players contracts are written pay check for game. So really, players will only earn their signing/yearly bonuses, gauranteed money and other stipulations within their contract.

also, I think its evident that the NFL is waiting to see how the NBA playoffs work out before pushing forward with aggression. Even the GMs of teams have said they have no idea what the plan is.

Boston is a very intelligent and bright young man. He has a very prestigious UNC degree and if wanted to, could be very successful in other areas. I applaud him speaking out.  North Carolina produces very astute young men and women.

My son went to UNC and he and Boston were buddies.  (photo of him with Tre at OTA during Tre's rookie season).  He said that Tre is not all about football--he is intelligent, funny, and well-rounded.  FWIW.  My son said that Boston is an average player at best, but would be a good team representative.  He is very politically-aware--and that was before the current political situation.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
