Yea they were until he got hurt. Almost cost them and that would have been a shame because they clearly were the best team last year

It's still just situationally driven and had nothing to do with the rule.

Clemson gets to play their stud.

Bryant gets to go play and continue his quest for the NFL.

What do you mean it had nothing to do with the rule?

If that rule wasn’t in place he finishes the year there and that’s clear

It had everything to do with that rule

The injury to Trevor. That had nothing to do with rule.

That's just a situation.

Wouldn't matter if say Bryant was hurt and while playing for him Lawrence also got hurt.

At least with the rule Bryant gets to pursue his career. Without it he's stuck in the upstate holding a clip board.

But both parties aren’t better off. Just look at Clemson last year. They very nearly lost a natty because they didn’t have a backup in the Syracuse game. Both parties are better off when quitting 1/3 of the way thru is a year isn’t encouraged in fact it should be frowned upon

Ifs and buts......I'm sure Clemson would love to have 3 guys sitting there just waiting for injuries if needed. Clemson made a choice and didnt look back.

If Bryant was a quitter for checking out early, hes a quitter for checking out at all. When is irrelevant.

It boils down if you believe all the power belongs to a player to be able to essentially cancel a year and make a transfer for Quitting on his team 1/3 of the way thru a year.

My stance is once a year is started it should be finished. That’s the way I was raised and the way I raise my kids.

I don’t believe both parties benefit from this at all. In fact I think many kids after game 4 have a serious conversation with folks maybe even handlers where tampering is a real problem. I think such talks erode the team atmosphere for many programs and that’s unfortunate.

My solution is the four game rule should only apply to players that are injured Or underclassmen. If a player wants to use a redshirt as a junior or senior they shouldn’t be able to play in any game like it used to be. Tweaking the rule in that way makes a lot of sense to me but quitting something you start is never appropriate in my book.
