Is Kobe a teenager? How about LeBron James? Any more stupid arguments?

Just what is the NFL afraid of? If it really thought that teenagers could not make it, then why would any NFL team draft one? Unless, of course, the NFL is concerned that it, instead of the NCAA, would have to develop its own talent.

LeBron and Maurice are about a year apart in age, grew up not far from each other, and are friends (LeBron was an all-state football player his junior year). That's what I suspect this is all about. Maurice is injury prone and saw what happened to Willis McGahee during the Fiesta Bowl where Ohio State Won The National Championship.

Kobe was a teenager when drafted ncie mess he's in, the jury is still out on LeBron. Any more stupid analysis or are you done?

The NFL is afraid of boys trying to play a mans game, getting hurt and suing them for not keeping the men from beating their asses.

Clarett would be torn apart in the NFL and then he'd hold the NFL responsible for the whooping he received.

It has nothing to do with developing talent it has to do with players being adult enough to handle the pressures.

Do you think it would make a damn bit of difference to the NFL to scout a high school game as opposed to a college game? Hell no.

The people that are scared are the current players. If the product is dilluted by unproven players then the obvious result is lower pay for them all.

Clarett is not mature enough, and not fit enough to compete in the NFL. Regardless of what you think.

The NFL has rules, if he doesn't want to follow them then he can go play in canada.
