I'm ok with this decision. It really didn't seem like he was 100% healthy this year. Since Christian bore the brunt of the scrutiny when he chose to sit out, perceptions have changed.

What, no 12 page thread to discuss the decision to sit out a completely meaningless football game, to preserve the opportunity to make money playing football games that do matter?

No one cares.  I certainly don't.  And I don't think Bryce is healthy enough to do well, FWLIW.

To me the two cases are very different.  CMac sat out even though he was perfectly healthy, so far as we know.  Love is injured and has had a tendency to re aggravate that injury when he plays hurt.  The first was a pure business decision, the second is a health decision.  Also, CMac left with a year of eligibility, and Love came back when he didn't have to.  CMac prioritized his payout, Love prioritized his team.  CMac collected a big pay day, Love probably won't do as well because of his sacrifice.

I don't see the two as parallel.

What IS parallel is that each of them gave us fans many spectacular, thrilling moments.  I am thankful for each of them in that way.
