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.
Jim Brown was 20 years old (the same age Clarett will be for the 2004 draft) when he entered the NFL and went on to be rookie of the year.
Kobe did not do anything "improper" as a teenager...and your argument there is just stupid.
In fact, you have made no argument based on fact, law, or logic...you just keep saying that the NFL will prevail.
And the "maturity" argument is just silly....shall I rattle off names of immature NFL stars?
The NFL has rules, but are they violative of the Antitrust Act? Betcha they are....
