The playoffs actually have meaning because you're still in contention for a national title and in a bowl game it's just bragging rights. How are you not seeing the obvious difference or are you just pissy because Baker decided to do something you didn't like

So will Baker brag about losing the NC game last year, or beating Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl?

Winning or losing national title = Zero additional dollars in future NFL earnings.
Winning or losing a bowl game = Zero additional dollars in future NFL earnings.
Getting a major injury playing in game 1 of playoffs = significant loss to, or elimination of future NFL earnings.
Getting a major injury playing in game 2 of playoffs = significant loss to, or elimination of future NFL earnings.
Getting a major injury playing in a bowl game = significant loss to, or elimination of future NFL earnings.

How can you not grasp that the purely economic argument that a player is "protecting their livelihood" by not playing in one game doesn't apply with even more force to not playing in two games?

I don't really care what he did. First stating that he would play, then reversing himself made him look bad, though.
