Hmmm.... Maybe PMac won't be using his free covid year for the 2024-2025 season after all.
Patrick McCaffery: "One last go around."
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Hope he finishes his year career with a great year.
Wish the highlight reel became more common. Lot of size and talent, just need more toughness, and consistent effort.
The dude has all the tools other than the mental aspect. He's no dog.
Pat has always played like someone who has a talent for something that they aren't particularly interested in...
I'm taking that tweet with a grain of salt, especially if they don't make the dance this coming season
Agreed. I think both JBo and Connor played their penultimate season thinking it would be their last. Things might look and feel different a year from now.
I wonder how you would perform after all what Pat did before casting stones.
This can be valid criticism of his play without critiquing his character. Some players just don't have the innate ability to rise to the moment and it's not something they're consciously doing. From everything we know, Pat is a good character individual. He's been dealt an unfair hand in life with his battles with cancer and his mental health. He's triumphed through those struggles and they're not over, he still has to fight everyday. He should be commended for going through that and still being open to speak publicly about his experiences.
Perhaps criticism of his play on the court can be eased knowing his background. But it's just being objective to point out areas where his game has not reached where many thought it could. I hope he can develop and excel further as a player. But I'd rather he be happy and healthy above all.
I disagree, when a player is dealing with medical issues that affect his ability to play. at no time is he open to any type of criticism. its hard enough to when fully healthy. then have to deal with a medical condition topped off with mental issues as well.
what if he were your kid? would be so quick to criticize him? especially on a public forum.
Just stop. Your not the "forum police" no matter how much you want that role. Very few people have been overly critical of Pat as a person. He's on a free scholarship to play basketball for a B1G team. Fans are going to critique his game just like other players. No one is forcing him to play basketball. He is privaleged to have the opportunity, just like everyone else on the roster.
no he is on sholarship to play BB BUT NOT TO be attacked.
also no one is forcing you to follow the Hawks. if you don't like it LEAVE PLEASE.

As I said before, seek HELP! You are either not capable or unwilling to discern posters comments. NO one is attacking Patrick, and you don't get to decide who gets to be Hawk fans...
not telling you can't be a fan but I can suggest that if YOU DON'T LIKE it YOU CAN LEAVE. very big difference between the two.
You’ve been banned enough times you should know it is YOU who everyone wants to leave
The only "it" I have a problem with is your ignorant responses. I'll gladly take a vacation, (or you can) from those....
some times yes that is why I wear a C-Pac at night to make sure I do breathe.
How does the Conservative Political Action Conference help you breathe at night?
stop being a ass. its a mask that help regulate my breathing at night. as sometimes my breathing will stop on its own. then this mask makes me start/keeps breathing.
Some advice to take or leave. You can "ignore" posters so you never have to see their comments. Just hover mouse on their icon and a box pops up, near the bottom of that box click on "ignore"
I think the vast majority of posters here are worthwhile, but a handful of posters never add anything and are not worth my time. I've "ignored" a few posters and it has made my experience on this site much better.
Go Hawks
You're just wrong here. He and anyone else open themselves up to public critque when they accept a Division 1 scholarship and all of the benefits that come with it. Any there are plenty! I'm sure Patrick feels the same way. If someone with a special need does not want the critisism, there is always Special Olympics. And by the way, don't think for one second there aren't "little league" parents there too.
He made the comment because it's a CPAP and not CPAC. At some point you need to be able to laugh at a joke (even if it's about you).
Or thinks he’s going pro.maybe he's going pro
Honestly…I don’t think he’s on the NBA’s radar.
Maybe seein the Murray boys, Joe and Luka has given him delusions of grandeur on that front.
Sorry for the a hole post but if that IS what he’s thinking….yikes
Patrick has been through a lot and it seems he'll be dealing with things for the rest of his life. So I do understand giving him a break. That said, he is the person posting video's of himself. This thread wouldn't have been started if he didn't post the video. So he needs to be careful because when you put yourself out there, you can't expect every response to be a positive response, no matter what you've been through. There's a lot of people who have lived through worse things than Patrick so you may or may not get a lot of sympathy from people. The point is, if you don't want the criticism, then don't draw attention to yourself. Maybe he's ok with criticism.
It could be as simple as he's going through the motions of being a senior and will decide at the end of the year whether he wants to play another year. Mentally it might be best to only play one more year or to just take it a year at a time.
Or maybe the head coach has told Patrick he doesn't have a scholarship available for Patrick's Covid year. Just joking.

worse than cancer? then basically a mental breakdown hmm kinda short sighted don't you think?
Its called a CPAP, (continuous positive airway pressure), just so you know.....I have one also to conform to my DOT physical,,,,,
Yes...I realize that.
Usually guys don't contemplate leaving early for an overseas gig but maybe he's the exception.
