In response to "I'm amazed that people don't understand that noone is saying he can't do that." by musubi

I disagree with that, as well. Especially if I am right and his coach is staying with him. -- nm

There's zero question it's a bad fiscal move - Will Hunting Jan 7, 11:21
Then you are flat out wrong. He will get guaranteed millions if he does to the draft this year. - musubi Jan 7, 11:16 19
- Maybe he realizes, that after a certain point, millions are millions. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:18 18
  - Which is his right to do. BUT IT IS STILL TURNING DOWN MILLIONS. - musubi Jan 7, 11:18 17
    - Millions now or a year later are still millions. - Spawn Jan 7, 11:22 7
      - unless some DL breaks his leg or he gets concussion prone or his stock drops (Jake Locker says hi from MacDonalds drivethru window) -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:27 6
        
        He could get hit by a bus on the way to the draft. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:31
        
        And Sam Bradford, who had the worst injury a QB can get, says hi from the Offensive Rookie of the Year podium. -- nm - David Jan 7, 11:29 4
        
        So you think Bradford is the rule, and not the exception? - musubi Jan 7, 11:30 3
        
        I think that Peyton Manning is the best comparison. Bradford is just a recent example that injuries can be overstated. - David Jan 7, 11:33
        
        This guy is the next PManning. - Spawn Jan 7, 11:32 1
        
        I am nowhere near ready to say that, but his situation is the most similar to Manning in a dozen years. -- nm - David Jan 7, 11:34
    - people turn down jobs that offer more money for personal reasons everyday. -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 11:20 8
      - Noone disagree with the factualness of that statement. - musubi Jan 7, 11:22 7
        
        right. and. generally speaking, ST tends to applaud people who put something before money. why is this different? just because it's MORE money? -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 11:23 6
        
        Well, frankly, yes. If I turn a $20M engineering job down, because I want to finish my degree, knowing full well that there's a good chance I don't - musubi Jan 7, 11:33
        
        Becuase honestly, sports are different. If I turn down a job with Company A for more money, there's Company B/C/D....in his case, - Will Hunting Jan 7, 11:24 3
        
        Think of people that take a year off after college. Why is this different (other than making even more sense)? -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:26 2
        
        Because in other fields the job offers from companies don't change from year to year as radically as they do in sports. (nm) - musubi Jan 7, 11:34
        
        If my franchise QB wants to take a year off after college to find himself, I'm not drafting him. - Will Hunting Jan 7, 11:31
        
        because people have an unheathy obsession with football. -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 11:24
they are losing 7 offensive starters. They are taking a huge hit -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:15 1
- Loyalty to his school and friends says a lot about him. - Spawn Jan 7, 11:19
