  1. To become a football player or a famous musician is everyone’s dream. Therefore Craig Terrill should consider thinking about it and giving it a chance, but then again if it doesn’t work out, talk to his coach and maybe give football a second chance. He can be successful either way, but I think he should stick with football and do music on the side as a hobby. Football can last forever, music cannot. Well especially for musicians now, people loose fans and almost go bankrupt, so therefore Craig should stick with football, until his mind is set right.

  2. Craig Terrell should not stop his career in sports and do music. The reason why is because I think that he can do both music and sports. He can be a football player in the day and deal with his music at night (HeHe). He can do pretty well in both career, but if he had to choose between music and football, then I suggest that he picks the career that his most familiar with. The one that he seems to enjoy the most.

  3. This football player should do what he wants to do. If he wants to do football and music at the same time he should. But if he wants to give up on football and do music he should. If he does both things he will be smarter on both subjects. But if his choices to football he can still do music as his outside hobby.

  4. He is good at both things but I think he should stay with playing football. He probably would be more successful with playing football, But the only bad thing about playing football is getting hurt. The only bad things about because a musician is losing your fans and becoming broke. I think he should plat football has his career and play music as a side job or a hobby. He would be successful either way but he should do what his heart tells him to do.

    I believe that Craig Terrill should stay with Football, instead of becoming a musician. The reason why I think this is because he can be successful either way, but I believe that he should stick with football and do music on the side as leisure. The reason why I say this is because is because, what if he quits football and he becomes a musician and s he becomes to be a great musician but soon he might not be as well as he used to be. That is what I think.

    This football player should play sports because I think music is too much and he doest look like a music player. I suggest he sticks to football. He would be successful either way but he should do what his heart tells him to do. He probably would be more successful with playing football. He can be successful either way, but I think he should stick with football and do music on the side as a hobby.

  7. I think Craig Terrill should not give up his career to pursue his career in music because I think Craig likes to do both. When he is not on the field he is playing his music. When Terrill was 13 years old he began to play the guitar. Also Craig has played football for 6 years. So what I think is that he can do both.

  8. This football player shouldn't give up sportsand pursue a career in music. He should be able to do both. He should do both music and football because he's good at both of those careers. If he can't do both of the careers, he should listen to his heart and make a choice of which he likes more. He should also pick the one he's more used to, or try new experiences and try his best to be good at it.

  9. People always have more than one dream. They give it up for the dream they have more fun with. But he is doing better at football. So I believe that he shouldn’t give up football. For his music career because its fun. If he can do both and be good at it that’s what he should do but if he cant he should stay with football. So yes I do believe that he should not give up sports and pursue his music career.

  10. No. I do not think he should give up sports and pursue his career in music. I think he should stay with sports or do both at the same time it might be hard but I think he can handle both. I think he should not gave up on something that he loves so much. I think he should not gave up on both of the m because he has a passion for both things and he should keep doing it till he feel like he cant handle them at the same time.I really think he should do whats right for him and what he can benafit from the most. That’s why I think he should not quite both of them.

  11. Craig should still play football because you already playing something. He should play both because he could get doubled the money he get.

  12. The football player Craig Terrill should quit football and pursue a career in music because music can be something for him to fall back on. If by any chance he loses his football-playing job then he can use music as his plan B. Craig Terrill can choose to quit football and play music but that would be his choice. Depending on the kind of money he makes for his music he can see which might be better. I would recommend that he continues to do both for extra money.

  13. He shouldn't because why should he have to give a football when he wants to play music and football. He choose both music and football for a reason but if he has to give up something it should be one that influences his life and is more apart of his life.

  14. It is Craig Terrill decision if he should give up football and pursue a career in music. The reason why I say that it is his decision is because if he wants to do music instead of playing football than he could cause nobody can’t tell him that he shouldn’t pursue a career in music. Craig should try to do both play football and pursue a career in music. Craig Terrill should decide if he wants to be a football player, or pursue a career in music.

  16. Terrill should do what he wants to do. If he wants to sing what is stopping him. Is he worried what people might say or does he realty like football. Singing is one thing but where can it lead you. He should go in the right direction that would lead him to happiness. Football is another thing. He plays really great and all but who is to say he cannot do a little singing. All I am saying is that he should do what his heart tells him and the best might not always be the right choice.

  17. No Craig should not quit football for his music career. If he managed to make a CD and sell it, then he's probably doing a good job with what's he's doing now. Music should just be his second resort if he quit football or something. Also since he's already a famous football player, to be a famous musician takes lots of things and he said it himself. He's not at the point where he can "rub shoulders with Kante West and Lady Gaga". So he should just keep his career as a football player and his music can be like a second job.

  18. The football player should do what is best for him. Which ever option give him the most money. He should do football and music, just at different times. More money and he can do both of the stuff he love to do.

  19. Craig should keep his career in football because he has mad it so far in the NFL six years is a lot and he's nown as a vederin. So he should stay in football cause he's gettin paid more then a rucky would cause he's been in the game for long. So he sould stay witht he money for one or two more years And save up.

  20. I think the football player should keep his career and his sport career because he is making great memories of hiself and he is making alot of money and he would be probably upset if he lost either of those careers.
