you go to college to get a higher paying job.his job just so happenes to be playing fottball, and making millions.

no

"job"?

"a job ain't nuthin but work" , Johnny Stewart

career is the word you are looking for I think and football careers are relatively short by comparison to almost any other career with the potential to be cut really short due to personal injury.

using college to get into the league but for nothing more despite the opportunity running fast and jumping high has afforded a person shows at minimum a mild level of ignorance. But that is exactly what SEC schools are around for so whadaya gonna do?

Someone verify this for me but I think Chris Gamble scored a 6 or something on the Wonderlic.

http://espn.go.com/b...-hurt-claiborne

When the Carolina Panthers drafted Chris Gamble back in 2004, there were reports that the cornerback also had a low Wonderlic score. The Panthers did their homework on Gamble and drafted him. It’s worked out pretty well. Gamble’s been starting for the last eight seasons and has 27 career interceptions.

You don't need to be able to set the world on fire to swat a ball out of the air.

a learning disability implies that there is a desire/want to learn. I'm thinking he just doesnt care. his plan was to goto the NFL, not become an engineer. So lets call it what it is, laziness. And you guys want this guy? Pass.

what? i think u like dildos, and you think anyone cares about your opinion? pass.

Let's be honest here, guys. If it weren't for his football ability, dude would not be at LSU. Period. End of story.

It's why I understand the legitimate gripe parents have with certain schools and the NCAA. Their child is a responsible student. They work hard in high school to make good grades and maybe even earn an academic scholarship. They get denied from their school of choice but some idiot who can throw a football 70 yards or run really fast gets a free ride to the same school.

Then these same "student athletes" with the reading level of a 7th grader get kicked out of school for robbing a fellow student or doing drugs. Or they leave for pro sports in a season.

"Student-athletes" - LOL. Yeah. right.

If by 'going to an SEC school' you mean he attended parties there and banged coeds, then yes, he went to an SEC school.

Yup.

The SEC is the cash cow of ESPN, the NFL, and the NCAA. College football is probably the second most popular sport in the USA and brings in billions of dollars for the three I mentioned above.

Why do you think that academic/recruiting/legal issues & scandals are always an open and shut case with the SEC? Money talks!

I mean it took a month to close the Cam Newton case and find everyone innocent of any wrong doing when there was significant evidence of infractions. The NCAA finally dropped the hammer on the tar heels after two years and even Ohio State got a long ass investigation.

love Cam as a panther, but come on. I'm not saying he was guilty but when there is smoke there is fire.

don't think Chris Gamble had a learning disability

Frank Gore is dyslexic and scored a 6 on the wonderlic. Also they say that scouts actually think it's a red flag if a corner has a high wonderlic score because that means they might overthink too much. also check out this link

http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/7770388/2012-nfl-draft-morris-claiborne-top-cb-prospect-scored-4-wonderlic-sources-say

A 2009 study by professors from Fresno State University, the University of Georgia and Towson State found no connection between Wonderlic scores and performance during the first three years of a player's NFL career. The group studied 762 players from the 2002, 2003 and 2004 draft classes.

John W. Michel, an assistant professor at Towson University who co-authored the study, told The Washington Post: "We found in no cases was cognitive ability related to [football] performance. We did find a negative relationship for tight ends and defensive backs. For defensive backs, it was the most pronounced; basically, the lower you scored on the Wonderlic, the better you performed."

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.

      I mean there is relevance to that. But I think much of it has to do with the fact that he is clearly likeable. But does that translate to a coach taking his position to the next level like those that have had staying power for many years like Spoelstra? And not for nothing but does how much someone is liked even matter? Across leagues with the Panthers Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney were universally well liked by players. Dave Canales is very well liked. I say you are what your record says. And the record says you got your ass handed to you by a fellow expansion team in the Magic in a game that was over at halftime and that same team went toe to toe with our nemesis who has been handing us L's for over a year now. And if Bam doesn't get his leg swept by LaMelo do we even get past the Heat? Again. It just all boils down to personal standards. I think newer and younger fans will love this. I just want to actually win a real playoff game fam 🤷‍♂️
