It’s definitely tough, but it does make tough players with the right mindset as well. Hard call to say that at 13 they don’t deserve to be playing top tier football because of how players all develop at different times.

It’s definitely hard to get the balance right and every kid is going to have a different developmental pathway.
If they actually decouple it what time frame would you do it. It would be hard to pull the trigger on it for next season
