Let all the Bulldog faithful rally behind the men who now wear the red and black with two words, two simple words which express the sentiments of the entire Bulldog Nation: Auburn Sucks.
Rare view on things these days. Good on you, young man.
I think he is making a financial miscue, but I commend his fulfilling his dream.
Translation: my agent told me I still project as a first round pick.
“denny chimed, take the monies and run”, obviously he didn’t listen to denny…
That’s all I can figure. Is this a down year for QBs in the draft or something?
Or did he find out that after he had already signed his letter to declare for the draft. That there’s no going back to college for the money. I mention that because it was reported last week he couldn’t come back he had already committed to the NFL.
6.5 million for one year is an awful lot to walk away from if true. I listened to bama fans saying hit the road jack after Pasadena. There’s loyalty and there financial mismanagement here more the later if he really had a choice.
#1 He remains delusional: What is his legacy/what did he build? Its like saying after the SEC Championship that he still thought he had the best offense in the country.
#2 Although I don’t think he leaves much of a legacy (see point #1), its not something most people are thinking about at his age, much less correctly evaluating how certain decisions can tarnish or destroy said legacy in the eyes of the fans. Most young people who are even thinking about building a legacy are only able to see it through their own lens, and lack the self-awareness to see that legacies are really created by those around you and who remember you, and so you have to view it through their perspective, not your own….
I went to grad school at ‘Bama. I pissed on Denny Chimes. FTMF.
I respect this. If Carson Beck had done the same thing last year, many of us would be calling him a DGD.
*maybe a few of you…..
meh…the guy gave 5 years and his right elbow to UGA. Included in that was watching a walk-on JUCO transfer take “his spot” as the next guy up and working/growing through that disappointment.
I get that Carson’s personality isn’t to everyone’s liking, but he stuck around when others left. By the time he left UGA, it was a mutual decision to move on to Gunner. Since Miami was going to gamble on him, he would’ve been dumb to not take the money. I bear him no ill will, and appreciate his time at UGA.
I don’t bear him any ill will either, wish him all the success he can find, and him coming in the SEC Championship Game to make the handoff injured was an incredible feat, but he is not in the Pantheon of Bulldog greats, IMO….
How many of us would turn down millions of dollars and all the “extras” to go play at Miami for a while?
(honestly)?
Good for CB.
Why risk having to play Georgia again?
I’ve been working full time for over 30 years and haven’t made that much money.
You should sell tickets and broadcast rights.
Open a child care business like the rest of us
Who the fuck is Denny Chimes?
Founder of Denny’s???
He just wants to be able to come back for a couple of more years during Bama Rush week.
Finally, someone speaks the truth.
I mean onnthe one hand it’s kind of nice to see. On the other hand he hasn’t “built” shit. He seems like he thinks he’s a lot better than he is and like Alabama is still Saban Alabama. Delusional.
If anything the Gumps went backwards in his tenure. However, I do respect, his “Welcome to the Grand Illusion”
Sounds to me like someone who expects to have a cup of coffee on an NFL roster and then wants a gig on the Crimson Tide Radio Network while running a Toyota dealership in Birmingham.
If so, that’s pretty damn smart. It’s what Stetson should’ve done.
Stet is gonna win a gold medal as the QB for the 2028 Olympic flag football team, fwiw.
Dude made his decision, one contrary to what everyone that bitches about how the game is ruined. Interesting to see the reactions, tbh.
this douchebag has quickly elevated his status to the Taneyhill ring of honorable fucksticks
I think he’s making a mistake. No way he’s a first round QB pick in the NFL draft. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t see it.
I think this yrs qb class is so shitty that it elevates all these jokers + i bet the oregon qb is not going to nfl
I understand Simpson’s decision. I attended my first UGA game in 1965 and grew up listening to the Dawgs on AM radio through high school. Then attended the University of Georgia. I have a deep emotional connection to UGA. If I had been fortunate enough to be the starting quarterback at Georgia, I could have never left to play anywhere else, no matter what the money. Of course. I also would never have left for the NFL. If for some reason I was forced to declare for the NFL or transfer, I would definitely declare for the NFL. Leaving to play for another college team would be like betraying my family.
I get it Gurkha. The lectures I received (oddly, from middle aged white women) about Hawaii and their culture left a mark. It’s sort of like what Patterson Hood talked about: when you leave the South you listen to Skynyrd & Allman Bros TWICE as much. It hardened my resolve and made me UGA or bust. It was after that I stopped any SEC solidarity nonsense. When UGA’s season ended, so did mine. I felt rewarded more than ever with the chicken wings on the sidelines vs TCU – that’s OUR Culture! I don’t live in a total vacuum and follow what happens after UGA’s season ends but don’t really invest in it.
Who?
I hope he understands that the Bama faithful will never give him that same respect in return. All the Bammers I know talk about him like he’s a bum. I’d go another year and improve my stock for NFL.
I can’t stand Pavia..
But he’s a better college QB and athlete than Simpson.
