How’s That Feel?

Who's really hating on him though? Whatever his reason for leaving is irrelevant to me. He's no longer on the team and I don't necessarily care for Cal though I'd have preferred they beat Miami. I don't want him to struggle, just indifferent. Did he ball out at times? Sure, in the second half of games. I think he was overall overrated otherwise. He dug us in holes against every decent opponent but he was fun to watch during those failed comeback attempts. He also fumbled far too often and it seemed like a couple throws were batted down ever single game. Still fun to watch. I think we upgraded but it's still too early to tell.

Big assumption.

Who is Eric's son?

Chandler Morris. Eric was only 15 at the time but he knew he'd need a quarterback someday.

No slight on Chandler Rogers, but I don't think everyone would just chase the biggest money. There are players who stay because of playing situation, personal situation, love of school or even (gasp) education.

So far Rogers' decision doesn't look great, but the season's not over. Diego Pavia went to Vanderbilt of all places and he must be feeling pretty damn good now, aside from an epic hangover.

Players that leave North Texas are unlikely to make it to the NFL (as are most players period), so why not make tens of thousands of dollars (or more) as a nest egg to start life after football? I hate that we can’t keep these guys for their career but I totally get it.

Just out of curiosity, everyone keeps saying Rodgers got a big payday. Where is this information? Is there a source for what he got paid, or just assumptions?

I'm just glad he's gone
