They see he play in every game anyway and the last time I looked the Belk Bowl is still a football game also. Here's the thing for me, in the Senior Bowl there is talent coming out the ying yang Deebo will have to wait his turn just to get in the game for the few plays he will get because every player on the roster is good. In the Belk Bowl he could get 50 snaps and can show off because they'll be watching him there too. They will trot him out for kickoff returns of which most will be over his head for NR or they could put him returning punts and that could be a disaster since he doesn't return punts. He could have played in both games but chose to skip our game because wanted to prepare for the combine so he said. Look, I'm a Deebo fan, but I'm a Carolina fan first and I want to win the Bowl game. I hope he gets nasty rich and buys his mama a house etc. but he let me down because he chose to leave and play in a Bowl where he could get hurt anyway and might not see the ball 3 times. JMO
Who?Right Shi Smith is gonna make us forget Deebo.
Even if the Teams are in a National championship, Doesnt change the fact that they can get injured.... So do they sit out?? It is a Slippery Slope, but hey, I am not in their shoes so I cant say that I would play.... I personally would be hard pressed to "abandon" the players i had played with all year, some my whole college football career.....I'm disappointed. I'm not hiding that. But no use being vindictive about it. Not going to alter the fact.
I know that. If it's a scouting event why play the game ? It seems like a waste of time and chancing that injury they so want to avoid, call it the "Senior Bowl Practice so all the NFL scouts can see you again Bowl" and then go home. I understand all the reasons but the players who skip their bowl games are taking the chance of meeting the same fate they wanted to avoid by still playing in another bowl. It's all JMO but I don't like the tread call Lloyd's of London get insured and play.It's not the same thing. Coaches will be there all week during practice. It's sole purpose is a scouting event.
The poor old tax payer gets nailed again. Every bowl game is about making $$ for the city and area to a point but personally I don't care about the financial part of the game or the promoters benefits (no offense). What I am concerned about is the hypocrisy of players talking by out of both sides of their mouths by giving an excuse for not playing for your team in one game only to go play for another team in another game risking hurt anyway. Again my friend as always.. JMO.

You really don't think that was what he was really saying? One game more would throw a monkey wrench in his preparing for the combine, of course it's all about dodging an injury. Zack would have played and he should go high. Isn't preparing for the NFL playing in games? He would get 15 more days of practice so what is he going to be doing in the meantime lifting weights and running 40 yd dashes? It's all about the $$ and that's okay, but don't flip us off just to go play in a real "meaningless" bowl like the Senior Bowl and pretend we can't read between the lines. Every NFL scout breathing knows Deebo Samuel already. He said "As much as I would love to suit up one last time". Well that was his call. And that's all I have to say about that.I don't think Deebo mentioned ANYTHING about worrying about an injury. That came from fans. He said he wanted to focus on preparing for the NFL, which the Senior Bowl does, IMO.
“As much as I would love to suit up one last time for the Gamecocks, having those extra weeks to better prepare for the NFL will be crucial,” Samuel wrote on Instagram. “As I look to the next chapter, I realize the next 6 months will determine my next four years and potentially even more.”
hopefully Vann gets plenty of playing timeIt's a little disappointing. He's gone. It's Shi Smith's time to shine in a bowl. Expect more Vann and TE's. I don't know if he was planning on traveling with th team, but I see no need for Deebo to be at our bowl game. You don't come to a battle and watch from the sideline.

Yes. Most players in the Senior Bowl have agents. It's basically another part of the interview process for the NFL.I thought when you hired an agent your college career was over. Will they let him play?
"I don't like it be I guess things happen that way"....Johnny Cash.I assume he's telling the truth. From everything I've read, he's a work horse. Concentrating on preparing for the draft and improving his draft potential fits the profile, IMO.
Would considering the risk of injury be a factor? Probably. Was it the only factor? Doubt it. Hiring an agent seems to be a big factor as he has already hired one. Obviously, playing in the Senior Bowl disproves the theory that fear of injury is his only concern though.
No hate here johnny I'm a Gamecock fan not a Deebo fan all I want to do is win.Don't think anyone plays in the Senior Bowl for the fun of it, they get exposure to NFL executives during practices. I would guess he's participating at his agent's suggestion. But whatever, hate on.

I don't king, all I know is I don't understand it. Everybody in America who watches college football, including pro football franchises, knows Deebo Samuel and his strengths what are the expecting to happen between now and the combine, Deebo drinks a Red Bull and gets wings? It's this kids life and I ain't his daddy but this stinks to me. I want to win the Belk Bowl, you know that useless game, but it will be tougher without Deebo. Good luck to the kid but I don't like the tread that college football is allowing some players to set before long there won't be in featured players willing to even play.
lol....right as if Deebo was holding us back.Saw one "fan" post "good riddance". SMH.
Who said he wasn't playing to avoid an injury? I thought he was getting ready for the Combine.The poor old tax payer gets nailed again.

Common sense says so. How else would not playing make sense the combine ain't till April 2019.Who said he wasn't playing to avoid an injury? I thought he was getting ready for the Combine.

JMOOh, come on Jim. Just because that is your assumption, doesn't make it the case, or "common sense". Maybe he wanted to hire a trainer and spend his time/energy getting ready for the draft. Maybe he wanted to hire an agent. Maybe his family made him. Maybe he hates Charlotte.
Doubtful, I too suspect fear of injury, But he does Hate Charlotte, He does want to hire an agent, His Family did make him, and He is getting ready for the draft, But so are many others that are Playing in Bowl games with their teammates they have ate, slept and "Went to batlle" with for 4 years.... I am disappointed, but wish him the best..Oh, come on Jim. Just because that is your assumption, doesn't make it the case, or "common sense".
