....a tape from a local news crew of Jake after the game walking around fine with no limp. It appears Jake just has had enough and I have compassion for him. He's a good kid but just didn't have it for this level and I hope he finds peace.

It's kinda heartbreaking. I said before the season that nothing would please me more than JB to light it up. It just didn't happen and I blame Muschamp for not seeing it.Like to see a doctor sign off the patient's chart saying Jake Bentley has a broken foot...
He has had enough.Yep...the video on The State's site. No limping whatsoever

I believe they did it for his mental health.I don’t hope for an injury for Jake, but in this case I truly hope is foot is broken. Lying about an injury would be a trashy way to run a program.
That said, with the injured list now at 10 days instead of 15 in baseball, players who aren’t performing well suddenly get phantom injuries with an accompanying 10 day vacation. So, maybe this is possible.

In fairness to Jake his foot did look broken on that pass he sailed 5 yards over the wide open Shi in the endzone
Who killed Epstein? The guy who broke Jake’s foot most likely...
My guess is his foot is really broken. But, if his foot is NOT really broken then this is a job saving or avoid too much criticism move by the staff. Now, if we flounder to 2 or 3 wins that will be the excuse. Just like last year's injuries was the excuse.
I’d say it’s more to protect Jake if it’s really not broken. Jake might be finished. Maybe they are giving him time to figure things out. Staff might feel best thing to do is play a Hilinski now...this would spare Jake from “getting benched” or from thinking about his future. This team had to & has to move on from Jake. I can’t see him ever taking another snap at SC. If he really isn’t hurt, this at least gives him time to consider his options 6 weeks down the road. End his career on the sideline for 5 games? Or enter the transfer portal?
Could be. But what caused him to go downhill like this? He was better as a freshman and sophomore. Heck, he was better most of last year - and what about the Clemson game?
If Jake is just a head case then okay - maybe that has been the problem all along. Maybe the other players don't like him. Either way, I guess we will find out Saturday.
Coaching. This staff sucks
Then I am worried for Ryan.
When there's pressure, he loses it. When there's no pressure, he plays loose. There was no pressure against clemson. And not much was expected of a true freshman QB. Now the weight of the team is on his shoulders.Could be. But what caused him to go downhill like this? He was better as a freshman and sophomore.

Not when you break your foot.When adrenaline is flowing people can ignore pain. It's later when things slow down and cool off that you feel it.
For the sake of credibility, either he or they can break his foot anytime they need to.If I were going to lie about in injury, I would pick something less verifiable. For example, shoulder stiffness in my throwing arm.
Of course, maybe it is not a football injury. Maybe he tripped and broke it after the game or broke it while kicking a trash can.
Possible but who knows.Kornblut said someone was saying he kicked a locker or something and hurt it after leaving the field.
I could respect that.Kornblut said someone was saying he kicked a locker or something and hurt it after leaving the field.
False.Not when you break your foot.
I've broke many bones and it hurts like hell.
Broken foot is even more painful due to the weight of the body on it.
If he really "broke" his foot you would be able to tell.
False.
Posted this on another thread as well. I broke my foot in three places (ligament, tendon, and plantars plate; Bentley's I understand is a ligament as well) on the first point of a tennis match a couple years back and finished the match, although in some discomfort. Couldn't move real well but I wasn't limping at the end of the match either. It wasn't until after the two hour drive home when I couldn't walk that I realized something bad was wrong.
I've never broken my foot but did tear my ACL & cartilage on the racquetball court. I took a few minutes then finished the match. Thirty minutes later I wished I hadn't. To your point I was probably limping but I still played well (for my talent level, which was not great).Not when you break your foot.

I don't give a crap what you believe son. I'm stating facts.Don't believe it.

When Muschamp was asked about Ryan getting a start he just said they were reevaluating things. Just an odd answer.
LoLI don't give a crap what you believe son. I'm stating facts.
It's like I said before if had and injured starting QB why didn't he mention it. This board and the media would have a little more understanding with the truth.Now I'm starting to wonder if CWM is betting on our games.
