It's his choice, of course the Dawg in me wants to see him return, why?, because he is the most explosive defensive player I've had the chance to watch. I absolutely enjoyed watching him look like a heat seeking missile coming out of a F-35 Stealth jet destroying anything in his path. But if he chooses to go to the NFL, he has earned it and hope he makes millions for years!!!!
With the way the season ended, I highly doubt there will be a shortage of leaders in our locker room. That fire will burn BRIGHT
You'd be surprised at how many so-called experts are saying the Falcons will beat Philly. They're saying that they way ATL shut down Gurley the other night will be the key. That and just running the ball. They ran the ball 39 times against the Rams. Maybe they learned their lesson about running the ball from the Super Bowl.
I know it’s off topic but with Wentz out, Birds have a good chance to win it.
There is nothing we can do about it. It is Roquan's decision. He should do what is best for him. I believe he's earned a first round selection in the NFL draft. I'm happy for him.
The team will have no choice but to go on without senior leadership, though I believe Godwin, Fromm, and a few others on the D can fill the leadership roles. After two more recruiting classes, we won't be worried about this issue anymore.
Seems like Roquan enjoys his study breaks in college. I am 99.9% sure this is the rooftop pool at The Mark where my daughter lives.
My heart wants him to come back. However my head says it is not a good financial decision. in 2017 the number 17 pic Washington Redskins, DT Jonathan Allen (Alabama): $11,646,348/$6,610,071. If he does not get a injury that ends his football carer he will always be a year behind unless he moves up 10 positions in the draft. When you are talking about a first round pic that becomes very hard to do.
Would you put your families future on hold for a year when you could have $3,000,000 after taxes right now. By right now that is his cut of the ~$5,000,000 up front money not the $6,.610,071 he gets for the first year. That is a lot to ask of a young man just starting out in life.
There's a 0% chance Roquan returns. He owes us nothing, dude left his heart and soul on the field every game. He's an all time great and deserves to go make his money. I can't wait to see him light up players in the NFL.
He's been money for us and now its time for him to make money.
We will know soon enough. Wouldn’t suprise me if he stays.
Off topic and don't want to hijack the thread beyond one simple question. Who is this ugaforever guy and why does he seem to be just scrolling down the thread DVing without even contributing himself?
I think Roquan would possibly come back if he truly saw the pieces to make another run to the natty again. Would still be very low percentage though and he also knows there are no guarantees at all vs guaranteed money. I feel blessed to have been able to watch him tear around the field in that beautiful red helmet either way.
Simple answer; Google "gooey duck." You'll get the picture then.
We would all like for him to come back. It would be the best thing that could happen to the team, however, it would not be the best thing for him. He needs to make the smart business decision...and millions of dollars await him. We need to be grateful that we had him for this long.
I would love for Georgia to have him next season but to be honest he would be a little crazy to not cash in on the NFL money now. He's earned it
Don’t discount the leadership abilities in the rising sophomores too.
Kirby has been ingenious in setting up the leadership council. It is a feeder system filled with aspir
As an MLB and especially him, he takes contact on every play. As much as I would love him to come back, there really is no good reason to stay. His draft stock could not get much higher (you might be able to argue it would go down due to more wear and tear). He has been every bit as good as advertised.
With any normal player I would say "Take the money and run" with Roquan I just dont know...he seems to enjoy playing with the Dawgs so much and I honestly see his NFL career as maybe just a brief 10 year period in his life....I believe he would make a great college football coach.
Please go to the NFL and make as much money as possible. I don't want his brain getting bounced around in Athens for another year.
Can I double up vote this! Roquan is DGD now got get that money like Thomas Davis, Jarvis Jones, Alec Olgatree, Danelle ellerbe and all the other guys that left as soon as they could! Football is a short shelf life! He has done so much for the program and deserves to be at the next level!
Insurance policy or not you can never make up the money he is about to make! I’ll root for him wherever he goes!
His family situation would definitely make a difference here....If daddy has millions of dollars (like Manning) then it doesn't matter if he goes pro or not.
