In response to "He would eventually get to training camp once any labor strife ends." by musubi

Of course it does. That's the whole point.

If he turns pro tomorrow and there is no training camp and limited preseason practices, he heads in 2011 either as a backup or a starter trying to get by purely on talent.

You're summarily dismissing preparation as being integral to the success of professionals, which blows me away.

The last time it went this far, we had scab players for a month. Just think about that for a second before you say, "Oh, the labor situation doesn't matter."

No. We're not. Preparation is important. But we're not talking about his long term professional success. We're talking about his financial choice. - musubi Jan 7, 11:35 1
- You're presuming there is only one contract under discussion. His career will have many contracts if he excels at his craft. - David Jan 7, 11:38
If they go without / limited training camp, he's not going to be starting from Day 1 so he gets a free year of NFL preparation without his team pushin - Will Hunting Jan 7, 11:33 1
- So, he just wasted a year he could have spent...wait for it...playing at Stanford. Eureka! -- nm - David Jan 7, 11:35
