I just really can't stand this guy Clarett. He has yet to prove much to me even in the college ranks.... let alone in the NFL. He showed the propensity to get injured and not play through minor injuries in major games. His lack of heart and dedication is laughable.

A cancer???? You guys are going overboard with this. This is not the end of the world. We do live America, right? You plan to deny a sector of our ADULT population the ability to work in the NFL because they are not old enough and might get hurt, but at the same time they are old enough to go to war and get killed? College football fans are the only one's upset with this ruling.
College students everywhere have the ability to drop out of college or decide not to go at all, in order to try out and become a member of the work force. They also have the ability to later come back to college if they want. Why can't a college football player do the same?
It seems to me the problem is with the terrible NCAA college football rules, that says if a player is drafted they lose all their college eligibility. The NCAA is a money hungry institution that hides behind the amateur sports status. The NCAA and University's can make million of dollars off the backs of players but if the player so much as gets a ride to a class, he gets suspended.
Regarding Clarett, he might be misguided, but he will be a star. I went to the Horseshoe or watched on TV every Ohio State game the year they won the NCAA Championship. Clarett played with a separated shoulder for a good part of the year. But he still lead his team in rushing on a team that could not pass and won the Championship. That very same team without Clarett the next year did not do as well.
