Swore it was going to be this.

Honestly, can't think of a sports statue that seemed more unnecessary than this one.

Not like he brought them a national championship or anything.

:why: have you been eating paint chips again?

That's my cornball brotha :to:

But really, this is a dumb idea. Sure, he has meant a lot to Baylor -- but a statue just a few years after he's out of college? :camby:

Not really. He is THE reason Baylor are where they are now. Former Heisman winner, 2nd pick in the draft, and it isn't like Baylor is rich in football history.

It took 35 years, multiple national championships and several records to be broken before Joe Paterno got his statue and you see what has happened to that.

SAS made some great points on First Take this morning (can't remember the last time I typed or said that) -- when you give someone an award or an honor, like the Heisman Trophy or a spot in the school's Hall of Fame, you're rewarding them for what they did on the field. When you put up a statue, you're taking a chance on the character of that person. Just imagine if Jerry Sandusky or OJ Simpson or Lance Armstrong (he actually has one that is still up :rudy: ) got statues put up when they were in good standing with their respective organizations and universities. I saw the public outcry for JoePa's statue to be torn down and it sucked and it will happen again.

People will always put those with statues in the highest standing and under intense scrutiny if anything goes wrong. Not saying RG3 is a bad guy whatsoever, but I'd have to let his career and life, in general, go a bit further down the road before I would think about a statue for him.

They're a bit more relevant? Whose to say they wont be a cellar dwellar in two or three years, shyt happens all the time in college ball.

We gonna give Blake Bortles a stature for what he did for UCF or some shyt?

It's not that big of deal

we have statues of racist slave owners, murderous theives all over America as national landmarks, but we gonna trip of a statue of football player
it's not that serious

if the school was to give him a statue that's up to them
they can always take it down

its just cool to hate on RGIII because of the bad year he had
