Will the college student be deemed ineligible because of this? Or is that only for student athletes?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(This was sarcasm. There's no need for an actual well thought out answer.)

Student athletes already get a completely free education so that was a fail.

Lol. Not all student athletes get a completely free education guy. 

Besides that, the point is, if they take a free cheeseburger from someone because they play football for _________ University, it's a problem.

Very cool. It's not a ton of money, but he's not obligated to do anything. Awesome to see these guys give back.

Because he picked out some guy on Twitter who asked him to pay for his books? Come on man...

Yes. He could've simply sent the dude a PM and got his info and nobody would've ever known. But why do that when you can do it publicly on social media and get hero praise?

Doing it privately without anyone ever knowing would've been a gesture. Doing it publicly is called a publicity stunt.

While the Red Cross certainly isn't without its share of issues, I don't think you can say everything they do is a publicity stunt just because it takes place in the public eye. Same with wounded soldier initiatives, etc. Now maybe the intent is more pure if he'd done it privately, but still barely diminishes the act, at least in my mind.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
