It's risky, but I agree with David, it's not a stupid decision. Dude wants to graduate and wants to stay at Stanford another year.

Considering the CBA WILL have a rookie salary cap, it's not like he's Jake Locker giving up a $50mil signing bonus.

He can be slotted in the cap in April or in 2012.

If he's 100% guaranteed the same money, that's the only way I'd agree with his decision. - nubby Jan 7, 06:16 7
- I don't see a CBA getting done without a rookie salary cap. My whole argument hinges on that being a fact (instead of just my opinion). - Jim Jan 7, 06:27 3
  - Still, if he gets hurt or underperforms, he may drop like a rock. -- nm - nubby Jan 7, 06:44 2
    - See, with the cap, the risk is in injury more than dropping. - Jim Jan 7, 06:57 1
      - If this is true and I have no reason to doubt it then it makes sense. - Mel Profit Jan 7, 07:17
- it's not always about money. -- nm - decline Jan 7, 06:21 2
  - I would love to see him him just walk away from football and become an architect. -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 06:25
  - And this kid comes from money - his point of view is decidedly different than most. -- nm - Diva Jan 7, 06:24
