But you're keeping the one in your other mom's house up?Meek said:love how Rapp said it was such a fucking honor to suit up next to his dawg brothers and represent for the UW
until it wasn't.
fuck that guy. i am taking his poster off my mom's basement wall. -
I’ve got no problem with anybody sitting out due to injury ...
I don’t like the not playing to avoid getting hurt ...
I don’t like the message the latter sends to your teammates ... it’s totally a selfish mood in my mind
I don’t have first hand knowledge on Taylor so it’s hard to say. Appearances don’t look good. Some of the tidbits that have leaked from former players come off as unpleased.
It is what it is at this point ... best of luck -

Many local kids who grew up dreaming of playing with UW at the Rose bowl never get that opportunity. You would have to take me off in a stretcher to keep me from playing in that game.
If it was really just an injury. Posting that 12 hours after a devestating loss is a really bad look.

If you think the agency representing Rapp that created his thank you Twitter graphic advised him to play if he was healthy, then I can’t help you.CuntWaffle said:If he was 100% healthy he would have played. No doubt he was hurt, but so are most players at this point of the season. I don't wish him any ill will and hope he succeeds in the future, but as one of the defensive leaders, he let the team down.

They are going to have to start paying kids to play in bowl games.

Done. There are Starbucks stores in Tuscaloosa.

Since this became a phenomenon a few years ago we haven’t heard a peep from teammates of players who do this being bothered by it. So while you might not like the message it sends, his teammates are clearly supportive of it. Probably because they’re all working towards the same goal and aren’t going to hold it against someone for furthering their goal and protecting it. You can whine all you want, but clearly the ones who matter don’t give a shit.Tequilla said:I’ve got no problem with anybody sitting out due to injury ...

Pete needs to send a message that it's not okay for players to do this. And he needs to do this by having an end-of-season pizza party at Pizza Hut or Godfather's and inviting everyone on the team except Rapp. You miss the bowl game, you miss the pizza party.

Sound awfully punitive except Godfather’s is in hospice, or dead, and nobody likes Pizza Hut.Fenderbender123 said:Pete needs to send a message that it's not okay for players to do this.

Lol when is he supposed to announce he's leaving? How many days after the season is good enough so he can tell you he thought and cared about the decision?
This decision was most likely made back in August.
Alotta butthurt bitches about Rapp.
Why wasn't wonder kid McKinney ready to step up is the real question. Bored is trash right now.

No one knows how bad his hip injury is. Yall are butthurt.
-
He was probably banged up where he could play, but being hurt at all can open more potential injuries here. Am I disappointed and bummed that he didn't play? Yes, but people saying they aren't going to support him and how it tarnishes his legacy are being self-serving themselves.

agree with this. those who think his legacy is tarnished and are now hoping he gets hurt are fucked up.FKA_Mousecop said:He was probably banged up where he could play, but being hurt at all can open more potential injuries here.

I think what he did is incredibly disappointing and will significantly hurt his husky legacy, he won't be remembered in the same light as murphy, gaskin, or gaines.

I don't hate him and he's not dead to me. He's definitely not who he was three days ago in my mind though.

I loved Rapp but they didn’t do an on field interview with him during the fucking Rose Bowl like they did with the Bosa brothers.HillsboroDuck said:
The NFL has made it clear they DGAF about kids skipping bowel games.Tequilla said:The NFL will still look at the talent for sure
But don’t think that he isn’t going to get asked about that in interviews with teams
NFL teams don’t take kindly to any suggestion that players dog it, etc when they are out of contention ... and for better or worse, ANYBODY that skips a bowl game is going to have the question of “are they” or “aren’t they” on them
Another question I suspect will come out is when the decision was made ... was it made late and impacted game planning, etc
Bosa skipped half a season and he's going to be the number one pick.
This will not hurt Rapp at all.
Bosa is on a different level. Glad he didn’t play in the game.

Taylor Rapp fucks. If his hips were bothering him before the game and he wanted to stay FRESH for the draft (look at sid jones) I respecc him
Type of guy you'd want your wife's boyfriend's two dad's daughter to date -

If that was his decision, don’t respect it. And I don’t get why NFL teams don’t have a problem with this. I would be thinking, if he made a business decision for you, what’s to say he won’t make a business decision with me?
I don’t want wide receivers making business decisions when I need them to catch balls over the middle. Cam looked like he made a business decision on that fumble in the Super Bowl and cost his team a real chance at a ring. Bell made a business decision and probably cost the Steelers a playoff spot. Fuck those guys. I straight up wouldn’t want them. If they quit on you, they will quit on me. -
yep...I was expecting Rapp to be more like Jake Locker in his loyalty and commitment.RealRhino said:If that was his decision, don’t respect it.

Imagine a world where you've somehow convinced people that you screwing them over to help yourself is okay. The whole point of principles, commitment, etc., is that it comes with a personal cost. Otherwise it's meaningless.Meek said:

However, the NFL and other sports entities can't take the chance at passing over a player based on principles.
So much money is at stake ... the multi-year, multi-million dollar contract becomes just a rounding error.
I believe had the Seahawks given Earl Thomas a huge contract this year, with much of it guaranteed ... he would have gotten"hurt" and retired.
The formula was discovered by the Seahawks, find young hungry guys who will over perform for their pay day ... the deal is you then have to be the Patriots and dump the guy as he gets lazy with his big contract.
The sport is being ruined by money at all levels.

Just my guess but it sounds like Rapp hid it from the coaches until it was too late. And by that, I mean he was not AT ALL transparent through this process. Deceit by omission is still fucking deceit.Doogles said:Lol when is he supposed to announce he's leaving? How many days after the season is good enough so he can tell you he thought and cared about the decision?

Why wasn't wonder kid McKinney ready to step up is the real question. Bored is trash right now.

this is what i think as well and why i'm so pissed at Rapp. I don't have proof in hand (LOL) so tell me to drink bleach, but i happen to believe Rapp fucked his brothers and the fans over with his private little plan.EwaDawg said:

Per McKinney in a post game interview, ge had been practicing with the 1’s for over a week in preparation to be the starter.EwaDawg said:

I am not sure Rapp has come clean with the whole story EVEN today.
I am gonna guess that Pete's little tirade, directed at Rapp, shortly after the first score reinforces this conclusion.
And who the fuck is ge? -
Yo, it’s done why is this a a topic still going? Y’all some sour asswhipes
