Bucs Pro Bowl G Ali Marpet retiring at age 28

[Talley56]

Who on earth is going to be any good in the NFC South next year?

[Beast]

I wonder if all the "good for him" people would be saying the same thing if Josh Allen pulled the plug today.

Yessss.  Loved the fact that a local guy got his shot, and did great.   Loved rooting for him 

Maybe, maybe not

Wow! I am guessing he would not have done that if Brady was still there.

Yeah, no, it’s not likely Tom Tom even registered in his thought process for this decision. His important other, family yup, his co-workers not a chance.

Only the non- selfish people, I would guess. I'm in that group. Players only owe themselves and family anything. Not fan-atics.

You know what? I absolutely would. It may dampen my hobby, but it's his life.

Let’s face it: It can’t be much fun playing offensive line in the NFL.

Well, it was a nice 2-year run for the Bucs.  They're going to be terrible next year.

Makes you wonder if Arians is considering jumping ship now?

He hasn't won a SB yet so probably different motivations but how can anyone judge someone who makes such a big decision.  Who knows what went into Marpet's decision. 

[DCofNC]

I can’t blame him, I’d be done working if I had even 5MM in the bank, he’s set for life.

I wish I had the talent of some these people and didn't watch some of these players waste it.

 

Yeah, an extra dollar over your health, such a waste in talent. He got to the top, made his money, and got out with his health.

 

What a fool.

None.

 

which is why the AFC NORTH is going to soar in the Standings.

 

Ravens might as well go 15-2.

 

with Bengals and Browns both poised for double digit wins and Playoffs.

I'm not judging. Just asking an honest question. Remember how Indy fans acted after Luck retired? And he wasn't nearly as good as Allen is.

Wait to all of the players go in withdrawal being out of avocado surprise.

He'll probably stick it out until the end of his contract/he gets fired.

I played a little bit in HS and yes the postion seemed mundane and not glamorous but the feeling of holding out players from the QB and watching them get frustrated + blocking well for runs was very very satisfying IF and i mean big IF you are good at it. Very very fun.

Hes played football for about 20 years.  Got college tuition and wealth out of.  Like most of us he didnt live it up through highschool and college.  He grinded the whole time.  Good for him.  

I always rooted for him because he was from Hobart.  Technically, no scholarship because Hobart is D3.  The chances of a guy being successful from that situation are astonishing.  Good for him.
