Hutchinson Back

Fantastic news. Hopefully, CB position gets better. 

Lol. I cant get enough of U S AND A. I laugh every time he says it like that.

Also, just saw the 2nd one over the weekend and it was funny but nowhere near as funny as the original.

Thank you.

Not to mention, who has gotten hurt by leaving early?

I suggest that you inhale from your abdomen and take a deep breath.  If he has no idea about them then I find it odd that you believe you have and an idea about him.

Or maybe there's a chance that you don't know what you're talking about and your well intentioned support may not be what you think it is. In recent years, almost 50% of underclassman who declared went undrafted.  Excluding the 1st and 2nd round picks, underclassman who do get drafted have about a 25-50% chance of seeing a second contract.  Those players are not making life changing money.  Third round money for a DE last year generated about $900k in guaranteed money.  A 1st rounder would get $15-20 million. 

And yes, people are right and they do risk injury.  But you can take out an insurance policy that's going to net you damn near what 3rd round guaranteed money would get you plus still maintain the opportunity to get drafted and double dip on an insurance policy + signing bonus as was the case with Jake Butt.

Lets look at Zach Gentry's case.  Leaves early and gets drafted in the 5th round.  Signs a 4 year contract worth $2.8 million but only $350k guaranteed.  The guy has played 6 games in 2 years and I'd be shocked if hes on an NFL roster next year.  So he leaves early for a whopping $1.4 million.  Sure, good money by most people's standards but hes by no means set for life and its peanuts by NFL standards.  He'll probably be selling insurance in 2 years.

Now look at Kwity Paye.  Thought to be a late second to early 3rd round pick last year.  Comes back and shows enough that he all of the sudden looks like a early to mid first round pick even with missing games do to injury.  He'll probably make $10-15 million and even if his NFL career doesn't work out the guy can retire at like 25 if he wants to. 

In summary, 1st round picks are a no brainer to leave early.  Second round picks I'd lean towards leaving.  3rd round picks it's very much a toss up.  Anything after the third round is objectively stupid.

I doubt there are too many players, no matter what their financial circumstances, for whom leaving a year early is absolutely necessary. Some choose wisely and some make dumb decisions, but the fact that one player might have less money than another doesn’t make a poor decision any better.

Maybe they don't all hate Harbaugh after all.
