I wonder if Gronowski will use his last year of eligibility now?

Cam Ward of UIW then Wazzu then Miami just quit his team at the half in their bowl game. If I’m a NFL draft scout I wouldn’t touch that quitter with a 10 foot pole. Guy has Jamarcus Russel’s vibes draft bust written all over him.

Stopped playing. I mean he is expected to be a top 5 pick so I sorta understand. But also saw teammates legitimately fighting on the sideline for Miami also so there might be more to it.

Ward broke the record for TD passes and then sat himself out. Honestly, it was surprising he played in a meaningless bowl game in the first place. Can’t say I like it, but that’s college football today.

I know the kid personally he isn't a quitter and he's NOTHING like JaMarcus Russell. He was told not to play in the game. Every nfl scout encouraged him not to play, called his family and agent and told them it wasn't in his best interest to play, Mario also told him he didn't have to play... he CHOSE to play agreeing with the coach to play the first half so that a UM player had the d1 passing td record. Yes he sat out the 2nd half because he's going to be a top 10 pick and he wanted to play but he also had to protect his future. That kid is one of the biggest competitors, nicest kids, and hardest working kids you'll ever meet.

This kid comes from a really small town in Texas, west Columbia.... ran the triple option because the coach was just terrible. He had one offer uiw...3yrs later he's gone from fcs to p4 to a legendary program and in the process broke the d1 passing td record. You don't do that being a quitter and not working hard. You know nothing of the kid and are making comments based off not an iota of knowledge.

Oh and the fight on the sideline had NOTHING to do with him... stuff happens from time to time but to make it seem like he was the root is silly... he was actually on the field playing when the fight happened.

My point is the moment $$ trumps competitiveness, the moment you care more about the business you’ve lost. You can post all about his character and how great he is but he literally quit on his team in front of a national audience. Actions speak LOUDER than any words. Nothing you say trumps that. A bonified loser.

I don't think the issue is that he "quit" on his team at halftime. To me the issue is that he played in a bowl game only long enough to earn an individual achievement and then pulled himself from the game. I have no opinion on Cam as a player or a person but that's something I think we would all assume Tommy wouldn't do.


Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

If 2 weeks ago he pulled himself and said it was to prepare for the draft I could understand, respect no, but understand yes. What he did today is absolutely bush league. The nut low in character.

You can post all about his character and how great he is but he literally quit on his team in front of a national audience. Actions speak LOUDER than any words. Nothing you say trumps that. A bonified loser.
I don't think the issue is that he "quit" on his team at halftime. To me the issue is that he played in a bowl game only long enough to earn an individual achievement and then pulled himself from the game. I have no opinion on Cam as a player or a person but that's something I think we would all assume Tommy wouldn't do.
If 2 weeks ago he pulled himself and said it was to prepare for the draft I could understand, respect no, but understand yes. What he did today is absolutely bush league. The nut low in character.
You have no clue what you speak of. You've never in your life been in this type of position. He didn't quit, it was an agreement that the HEAD COACH decided to do with the kid. As stated nobody quit, it was predecided. It was in the best interest of the kid. It was a close game he handed the reins over... gotta love when a has been that never was wants to judge a kid that's making a decision that could and will change his life forever. When you come from what he came from and to make the amount of money that will literally change his whole family's life come talk to me. One wrong hit and this kid loses everything. I'm all for competitiveness but when it could derail his future that's just stupid. But again you have NO CLUE what is like out there or what is like to be in a position to monumentally change your life to the tune of 100mil+.

Cam Ward of UIW then Wazzu then Miami just quit his team at the half in their bowl game. If I’m a NFL draft scout I wouldn’t touch that quitter with a 10 foot pole. Guy has Jamarcus Russel’s vibes draft bust written all over him.
I know the kid personally he isn't a quitter and he's NOTHING like JaMarcus Russell. He was told not to play in the game. Every nfl scout encouraged him not to play, called his family and agent and told them it wasn't in his best interest to play, Mario also told him he didn't have to play... he CHOSE to play agreeing with the coach to play the first half so that a UM player had the d1 passing td record. Yes he sat out the 2nd half because he's going to be a top 10 pick and he wanted to play but he also had to protect his future. That kid is one of the biggest competitors, nicest kids, and hardest working kids you'll ever meet.

This kid comes from a really small town in Texas, west Columbia.... ran the triple option because the coach was just terrible. He had one offer uiw...3yrs later he's gone from fcs to p4 to a legendary program and in the process broke the d1 passing td record. You don't do that being a quitter and not working hard. You know nothing of the kid and are making comments based off not an iota of knowledge.

Oh and the fight on the sideline had NOTHING to do with him... stuff happens from time to time but to make it seem like he was the root is silly... he was actually on the field playing when the fight happened.
Cool. Tommy would never.
Tommy would never what specifically?
Quit on his brothers
You can’t talk trash on bowl games and then claim that not playing in one makes you Judas
I’m confused. Did I talk trash on bowl games? I’m not sure understand this post.
