I wasn't trying to prove your point kmb. And there is no way VY will be rookie of the year, *unless* he starts somewhere as a wideout, even then it is highly doubtful. I just can't see him being a successful NFL QB

Default Bottom Line

The bottom Line is that a month ago he was the smartest person ever, not declaring for the draft, it made it seem like he knew he wasnt ready and now in the words of the great red forman "He's a Dumbass" he wont make it in the NFL yet he needs another year to develope.....now hes GPA thats a different story and in hopes that i will avoid the wrath of people in this forum i have no comment at this time

Stay in school and maybe get a major injury or go pro and get a major payday.
He aint that dumb now is he.

He could of stayed in school, got an insurance policy, developed his arm and awareness and been the 1st pick in the 2007 draft. He would then be a more successful NFL quarterback, and get a bigger payday, with a longer contract.

By declaring himself this year, he is opening himself to developing in the pros at a level he isn't ready to be at. He may get a major payday to start off with then turn into a Kordell Stewart and disappear after a couple years.

NFL Draft Countdown.com said it best...

No the key is # of paydays, one where he gets drafted they find out he aint shit and dump him, ir develope and get multiple contract extensions not to mention a bigger payday to start

What people arent realizing is he could have what happened to MAtt Leinhart happen to him. He would of been the ovbious #1 pick last year if he came out, stock through the roof and gotten a nice contract and the huge bonus that comes along with being the #1 pick.

He returned to school, had another stellar year, yet his stock has went down... not only is he not being drafted #1 now, he may not even be the first QB to get drafted!?!

Before anyone judges...I have a question for all of you

Whatever your college major may be (or was) if someone were to come up to you after 3 years of school, and offer you a job in the field you are going to school for, starting next year, how many would take it and how many would refuse the offer?

I know I'd take it...
