JJ Enagbare says goodbye

Disappointing but not unexpected. Hate to see him go.
Agree....no good reason to take the chance on a career-ending injury in what amounts to a meaningless bowl game.

He has a great future ahead of him, on and off the field.
Appreciate JJ being a Gamecock wish him good luck, he was a good'un!
Because tateru has had a good NIL program going since the early 80's! Cheating ass bastards.
This dude gave us a whole year after he could've left as a first rounder, not the same as Deebo, and he shouldn't have gotten that gruff too.
Edit: on second thought, he I don't think he did finish his degree last year.

I'm so glad to see Beamer changing the culture around here. Getting his players in the system. I don't think we'll see as much of these mid rounders sitting out bowl games in the future.
Don't think Enagbare is considered a mid-rounder.
Great player. Wish him the very best in the NFL! Forever to thee!
My opinion hasn't changed, but people like me are anachronisms. I know that.
Disappointed the guys worked so hard to make a bowl just to have their teammates bail on them.
Afraid only those are in the CFP. Everything else is essentially a meaningless vacation for a good season.
One thing to consider is that there are a lot voices in a players ear especially when the money of professional sports is on the line. A player may want to play, but is advised by his agent not to play. Sort of like when players go to combine and only do interviews. You think these don’t want to get out there and compete against their friends. Agents tell them to stand down and wait to Pro Day.
Yes.
They would still sit. If Howell was here he would sit. Players here must get hit extra hard with those agent whispers
You boys can rationalize it and call it what you want but it's quitting on your team and teammates. Winning the bowl game to finish with a winning record would be great for Beamer's first year.
Should have stay and improve his NFL stock and that goes for any player jumping into the NFL...
And don't give me that crap that he might hurt himself in a worthless bowl game... All games are worthless unless you are play for a National Championship... Today's players are just wussies... Play the game, that's why the school gave you a scholarship to play...
He will improve his draft status more at the combines than playing in a bowl game.
I wouldn't advise him to chance an injury by playing in a bowl game.....nor would anyone who had his best interests in mind.
Howell isn’t sitting for NC. I don’t like the ”sitting.” Never will! What’s to keep a player from deciding to sit at any point in their finale season? Sitters will always be “quitters” in my view. I wouldn’t want one in my foxhole.
Glad he was a Gamecock. Has to protect his future. I do not blame him.
Good for Howell. I hope he doesn't end up having to regret that decision.
Being in the military is a bit different, don't ya think?
100% agree.
And that's the problem. Everyone looking out for their own best interests.
I wouldn't either, but I can still regret the trend and make the case that it further diminishes the status of bowls as they have become. Perhaps what is needed is a full playoff system for the current FBS schools utilizing the bowls necessary for the three playoff rounds and eliminating the rest of them. Mind you, I'm not in favor of expanding the playoffs as the system now stands, but I would be in favor of adopting the FCS system for the major football schools, using bowls as preliminary rounds leading up to the championship game.
Agree. I don't like the trend, but I do see the other side from the players point of view and respect it.
Agree on expanding the playoffs. What I personally think needs changing is the rule that you can't practice without making a bowl. Open that up to all schools having a set number of practices after the final regular season game. Then take the top 3-4 school from each conference and let them battle it out in the playoffs in the already existing bowl games.
Just curious, why did he play in the Clemson game then? Couldn’t he have risked an injury in that game as well.
Sure he could have, but he completed the full season after that game. The bowl game is an additional game.
Does a bowl game not count then as part of your season, and not against your record for that season?
Not a scheduled game...no. Plus it's close to the combines....not enough time to even cover from a minor injury. I'd still advise any player in his position to do the same and you can not convince me otherwise. This is his future....not yours or anyone elses. Are you willing to guarantee the NFL money he would lose if he got injured?
The way you are describing this why even have bowl games, it’s an additional game that exposes players to another chance of being injured, just play your full season and call it a year.
