Lot of truth here...and overallbraw;3789276 said:why people fail to notice that Luck is not ready for the NFL yet. No great or good QB playing now went and played only 2 years and became what they were. only Aaron from greenbay played 2 yrs but sat for 3 yrs in the pros.
The money, the degree, the 1st player drafted will still come when he is ready.
Manning, Brady, Bress, Big Ben, Rivers all went 3 or 4 years to school. Its a maturation process he needs to go through. Thats why he is at Stanford and his coach says he is an intelligent player because he doesnt rush to make poor decisions based on money, draft status, or his degree.
Playing one more year will be a great decision for learning and polishing of his skills; especially when the pressure will be on and expectations will be high. Great move by the young man
He is running a risk, but it's his life.
There are a lot of assumptions being made, and many are false.
Even regarding NFL career earnings, there can be a debate that he will not lose anything over the duration of his career.
There are so many variables:
--is he ready now? If not will coming out 1 year early and being pressed into service actually hurt his career?
--will they even play football next year in the NFL?
--does he want to play at Carolina?
--how important is a Stanford degree to him..and his family?
--he he was going to ride the bench, would he develope more starting at Standofrd or bench-riding at Carolina?
--will the 2012 1st round picks have a shorter window before they becoming URFA? If so, he may come out ahead financially by waiting.
--will the 1st pick in the 2012 draft make much more than in 2011.
--how important is money to this guy? My guess is not as much as some on this board.
etc, etc....
