I'm not the world's biggest Trey Lance fan but to be fair, it's kinda hard to blame anybody for opting out of last season.

 

 

if trevor lawrence could put his nuts on the table, and justin fields as well for that matter, you can do the same. i don't think it's wrong to want a quarterback that loves football more than money. there will be apologists from here to eternity, but how many other top prospects opted out?

Imagine questioning people's integrity like this to get attention on a message board, get a life

there are no matters of integrity being questioned here. there are factors of risk mitigation, injury fears, and other factors that produce cloudy judgment and doubt in a person that makes them vulnerable to escape routes and excuse making. are those traits you want in your quarterback? 

i couldn't give a damn about attention. there was discourse here about trey lance and I gave my opinion. if you want to pearl clutch about that, it's your problem not mine.

This guy made the best decision for himself given the information provided at the time, let's attack his character for fun

problem here is that you've probably already fallen in love with the kid by watching youtube videos and you defy anyone to say anything negative about him because you're so locked in that you can't see past your nose,

I don't think it's wrong to love your health more than football.

This past year was a unique situation. It's not like he was saying "nah, I don't feel like it".

by his own admission he didn't opt out because of covid, he said plainly himself that he opted out to "prepare for the NFL draft on his own." go look it up.

Sounds like a professional to me and smart. College ball means nothing except for the players that will not make it to the NFL. Just practice anyways. Go Lance.

The season was still postponed because of the virus.

Taking any of this as an indication that he doesn't love the game seems like a stretch to me.

Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields likely would have opted out of SPRING football. Has nothing to do with nuts.  They are all first round picks prepping for the NFL draft.  College football is played in the fall.   His conference should of played in the fall. 

Trey Lance played every game he could of during the season.  That ended up being only 1 game.   

It makes no sense for a projected draft pick (not just first round) to go put a beating on their body in a spring season in advance of the NFL summer camps and fall season.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
