I disagree with this on a couple of fronts. First, an NFL player can go back to college if they want to. Fresh in their heads? Really? Sorry, but that is pretty much irrelevant. Ability to learn doesn't change because college facts aren't in your head currently. Second, I believe it's a fact that RBs have a higher propensity for injury than all other positions. Even if I'm wrong about that, please read my post regarding 2nd contracts.
Mind you, you're the only one that replied to me in this thread, so this really isn't directed towards you.
No you're not wrong about that at all. It's just that when people (not just you, I hear it all the time) say that
RB's don't last long in the NFL, or my all time favorite "he was hardly used in college, so he has plenty of tread on his tires." << These things are complete garbage in regards to how good a player is and whether or not he leaves school a year early or not, which is what I hear when people say these things. As far as injuries go, you're right about that. But when people say the average length of a rb's career is 4 years, I can't help but get irritated at how stupid that is. Yeah, sure, 4 years. When around 20-25 RB's get drafted every year, but less than 10 of them get 2nd contracts, it's not because they hit there prime and went downhill, It's because they suck. Plain and simple. Like I said, even more of a reason for them to finish college before entering the draft.
For the "he was hardly used in college, so he has plenty of tread on his tires." people, maybe he was hardy used in college because they ran a different scheme, or maybe he just sucks. My money's on he sucks. It's always good for a player to show consistency before entering the draft, another good reason to stay in college for another year.
But yeah, you guys are right, Bryce was stupid for finishing his degree before going to the NFL, he probably would have been drafted in the 2nd or 3rd round instead of the 4th. What an idiot. And Chubba and Etienne are also stupid for going back to school. Chubba might just be a 1 year wonder, at least now I know I won't touch him in my fantasy draft until the 3rd/4th round. Etienne? I think it depends on where he lands tbh.
