It's really a joke to even call them "student athletes" to be honest. Most don't go to class and usually have someone else do their work for them.

I don't really agree with this. The majority do go to class and do their own work. There are knuckleheads that don't, sure. But that can be said for the general student population on any college campus.

I guess no one cares about Cam Newton's either then?

I've said numerous times that I could not care less about the money he and his dad collected. Good for them. The people that paid them are the criminals.

You might not, but the team might.

What it likely hinges on is the same thing that it does with Newton. It all rises and falls on the answer to one single question.

Did...he...know? :sosp:

He will naturally say he didn't (same as Newton) and that statement will likely be accepted unless evidence can be produced to contradict it.

Outside of that happening, does it affect his status? Probably not.

Whether or not it should is a topic for debate.

It really shouldn't matter those guys are playing for the sole purpose of making it to the NFL and get paid. The way they promote these kids and without paying them is modern day slavery:leaving:

I'm wondering when the media will stop trying to murder these guys' career prospects and stop reporting these things like it's out of the ordinary. I'd almost be willing to put down money that any college team in the Top 25 has a player on it that got paid. The NCAA needs to stop playing themselves...

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
