I'd rather have a season of questionable "scrub football" than no season at all. Whoever wins this one, there will always be an asterisk on it so I am glad the Chiefs got theirs last year.

Lucas Niang opts out...
Deion speaks out.
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...o-opt-out/amp/ “All Players OPTING out in all sports PLEASE BELIEVE the game will go on without u,” Sanders said on Twitter. “This is a business & don’t u EVER forget that. There’s NO ONE that’s bigger than the game itself. Only the ref, umps & officials are that important that u can’t play without them. NOT YOU! #Truth.” |

Nope. I’d rather have no season at all than a season of XFL. That being said, it doesn’t look like there will be any difference in the number of truly blue chip players out their, including pretty much every Chiefs pro bowler, so the chances of it being “scrub” football are low.

On the flip side, if Damien Williams plays and his mom dies from complications of COVID, neither him nor his mother just “move on”. |

College athletics will fundamentally change in the next 12-18 months due to the "Image & Likeness" ruling and the fact that universities earn billions of dollars from unpaid athletes who are finally standing up for their rights.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the entire post-high school educational model completely crumble to the ground in the next 3 to 5 years, especially since universities across the country are still charging full rate (and in some cases, like USC, Ivy League, etc., in excess of $60K per year) for an Online Education. |

I've tried watching his Sunday night wrap up show but his comments are so incredibly off-base that it's like watching the ramblings of a man with dementia. |

Damien Williams playing football this year and keeping his mom safe were not mutually exclusive scenarios. |

That’s your opinion. Nobody agrees on how dangerous this pandemic is so he’s trying to be safe since his mother has stage 4 cancer.

So he’s definitely got the playbook and has already gone through team activities before he opted out. He’ll have a year to learn the basics while healing his hip.
This isn’t any different than Travis Kelce getting injured and missing his entire rookie season.

I respect the decision of Lucas, but selfishly wish he had played to get a year under his belt before taking over a starting position next season. The Chiefs can open op $11.5 million in cap space by cutting Fisher in '21. This set us back a year and puts us in a pickle with future cap space.

Niang will be completely cut off from the organization as part of the opt out exile. You are apparently still too stupid to grasp that difference. |
