M. Bryant had to go
May 10, 2014, 12:23 PM
|
|
The median deal in the fifth round should be worth $2,348,800 over four years. The man has 2 kids with 2 different women and no job to support while playing college football. This a family decision where he will get over $300,000 in guaranteed money when he signs. No amount of money or increased draft stock is worth seeing your kids do without.

Trading a chance to make 1st or 2nd round money for 4th or 5th round money makes no sense. I hope you guys have someone else running your finances. Short of his kids starving, which I doubt they are, staying a year probably increases his guaranteed money and his chance to sign a second contract, which is where the big money is made.

Maybe he didn't think he would be a 1st or 2nd round

pick next year.
Playing another year in college doesn't automatically increase your stock. You have to, you know...get better.

And lack of route-running skills, and drops

He wasn't going to start running pro-style routes in Clemson's offense, that's for sure.

In college football. Bryant was better last year than he was his first 2 years. In fact, he has been better each year. Why would that stop?

If he thought with any level of certainty he would get 1st-round money next year, he probably would have stayed.

I would assume a player that got somewhat better
May 10, 2014, 12:36 PM
|
|
this season would continue to get somewhat better next season. I could understand if he was going to have to live in Columbia for another year, so I understand your Coot prospective, you get out of that place ASAP, but Bryant made a mistake, it's pretty obvious.

It would be awfully convenient for you, as a Clemson fan, if he came back for his senior season. But he's not making decisions based on you and your football enjoyment.

False...everything he presented related to the debate...

then you put your fowl spin on it...as you love to do. Trying to make him look selfish...
Don't know if you've taken a peak at our WR depth chart lately, but it's not exactly a top concern for Clemson fans.
But please, keep doing what you do. It's obviously more enjoyable for you to be here discussing our players than to be on your board discussing your #1 draft pick.
That says something, no?

Clemson's not my team, but this is "my board". I can't stand FGF or the people who post on it. Nor am I some kind of Jadeveon Clowney fan. I couldn't care less where he was drafted.

That was exactly my point.
But "your board" this is not, nor will it ever be. You still play devil's advocate and stir the pot.
There are others that do it to that profess to be Clemson fans, or even are Clemson "fans." So, in your defense, at least you are forthcoming about it.
Nevertheless, you still took the discussion off topic to promote your own agenda. And I called you out on it. Take it or leave it.

that first or 2nd round pick is provided he doesnt get hurt , he has greater production, and he is better than his competition. Also, i did mistype the avg signing bonus should have $200,000 not $300,000

Should all potentially draftable juniors leave early. I can think of several junior Tigers with at least 7th round draft grades this year that are coming back. They should have just taken the 7th round money because they might get hurt next year?

And also common sense. I'm not bashing Bryant, but am I the only one who has a hard time with this line that keeps getting thrown out?
All that said, I'll never fault a man for taking care of his children, but in won't show a kid pity for having 2 children by 2 women. He made that decision too..:

NFL contracts are not guaranteed. Sign on bonus is,

but not the contract. Can't imagine you get much of a sign on in the 4th round and beyond... IF he is drafted. Wish him the best, but don't agree with you here.

I guess the old saying stands true. You can't really know what he is going through without being in his shoes. That is still not bad money compared to what, say a teacher is going to start at with his or her contract.
