Had the NCAA not treated them like peasants, making them ineligible for getting a $500 watch from an agent, we wouldn't be in this situation.
They sat in their ivory towers with a holier than thou attitude, while poor kids couldn't get a free hamburger leagally.

Without question, they made billions on the backs of these kids. And they’re still making billions. But this is not the spirit of amateur athletics.
Guys staying in college until 25 or so because they will make more there than in the pros, and 18 and 19 y/o players are expected to be able to keep up.

There is no doubt that the current system needs to be fixed.
 
One guy was I was waiting to see what was happening with was Broderick Jones OT Steelers.
They apparently traded him to Cowboys yesterday.

I think there’s a middle ground here. The answer isn’t going back to the days when the NCAA, conferences and schools made billions while the players weren’t allowed to make anything. If you’re generating that kind of money off college football, the players absolutely deserve a piece of it.

But I do think there need to be limits on eligibility. Four seasons of playing eligibility with five years to use them, outside of legitimate medical exceptions, seems reasonable. You shouldn’t have 24- and 25-year-old guys sticking around because they can make more money in college than they can in the NFL, while 18- and 19-year-old kids are expected to compete against them.

The Rams are an absolute wagon. If they stay healthy, everyone in the NFC is playing for second place.

They have some tough games (Niners twice, Broncos, Eagles, Bills, Chargers twice, Packers, Chiefs, Cowboys, Seahawks twice). Despite how stacked their D is, after Puka and Davante at WR they're not exactly stacked with offensive talent. One of those receivers goes down, they better be winning a lot of 14-10 games.

Having said that, Aaron Donald was double-teamed all the time (in his prime). Myles Garrett is double-teamed all the time. You ain't putting 4 guys on those 2. So if they double Myles, Donald will be free to wreak whatever havoc he still can. Gonna be a fun defense to watch--unless you're the opposing QB.
