    One of those my daddy will sue you types. Yep don’t slap those guys’ phones. Those types of little sissies are the ones pulling that kind of shit in the first place. They haven’t been punched in the face enough.

    I would think several people would make it a little uncomfortable for him in the locker room. He will never be that guy again in that locker room. He could come back they will let him play. They will not be big trouble, but you aint a boy.

    I agree. I thought Napier did a decent job of sticking with the RB with the hot hand in most games. ETN had 131 carries versus 152 for Johnson, so, not a huge difference. They were pretty much RB 1A and 1B. I guess ETN might have gotten a few more "touches" if he didn't whiff on some of his blocks. ;)

    Yea, we can’t have it both ways. Just have to navigate the current world we are in.

    He’ll learn quickly that Kirby ain’t gonna let him get on the field if he doesn’t learn to block.

    So, how was he utilized that he didn't like? The only difference I can see is it seems like Johnson was given more of the short-yardage goal line carries because he was a little more physical. The OL issue I can understand. My take is that he is leaving because he wants to go directly to a playoff team for what will surely be his last year.

    He obviously has people in his ear telling him he's better than Johnson. And maybe the mirror.

    Yeah man, I don't respect athletes that chase rings by leaving their team to join a loaded one. And if we are gonna excuse it when our star players do it, we have no room to bitch about recruiting failures. We can't even expect our own guys to stick it out, so why would a high school kid choose us over a championship caliber team?

    I was referring to family, agents, and coaches from other teams.

    Players know Most Fans are idiots. They like praise though.

    i believe that’s probably the long and short end of it. He wants to play for a “winner”

    Good points. The only other point that should be made, though, is that it was his mom that made the public RB2 statement, not him. I don't see her carrying the rock out there, so, I'm going to take that statement for what it's worth.

    His brother has posted things with similar sentiment. Even if he doesn’t think he believes it, he’s likely being programmed to.

    I'm pretty sure the sentiment between mother and son is mutual maybe not but more than likely similar

    Yes, but we’ve gotten plenty of transfers that didn’t have a coaching change.
