A's were so stupid to even mess around with this. I think this means the A's didn't meet his asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I mean you wanna bet on being a 5'8'' 160 pound QB more power too ya and all but he's probably going to regret that choice when it hurts to walk when he's 35. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsGuy82 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Could he change his mind after combine and pro days? Seems like he is gambling on being a day 1 pick, if he slides he's gonna take a financial hit and if he doesn't become a starting NFL QB by the end of his rookie contract, he's screwed. I would've taken the safer road to a nice life and went baseball if I were him. No guts, no glory I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he measures in as short as people say, it could give teams a lot of doubts about investing early in him. Baker had tons of questions before the combine and he measured just iver 6'... he towers over murray too. This was a pretty bad decision on murrays part to be so definitive imo.

We don't care about definitive in society today. He can focus on the NFL draft and has to say something like this because he wants to get drafted higher. If he isn't and goes to baseball, the A's will take him back with open arms. Even if he plays football for three years, he would still be welcomed back to baseball if he flames out just like Drew Henson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who doesn't love his career choice, I absolutely appreciate the fact that Murray is choosing the option he has the most passion for. But yeah, his passion probably isn't steering him towards the more prudent decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Murray will be a top 10 pick (QB's always rise come draft day) and will get $15+ mil guaranteed. Curious to see how much he weighs at the combine. If it's under 185, he isn't lasting long. Russell Wilson is 5'10", but he's also 205-210 lbs. That's a huge difference in body mass and being able to absorb those hits. If Kyler weighs in 195-200, then that concern lessens a bit (assuming his quickness doesn't take a hit).

Will he be a top 10 pick? He gotta have a hell of a combine and pro day in order to go ahead of Haskins and Daniel Jones is rising fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not about making more money But to touch on your post, In all likelihood he will make more money off the hop but I don't believe he'll be a starting QB by the end of his rookie contract and has a better chance long term in MLB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB's almost always rise. I won't be shocked if Haskins ends up #1 overall. Edited February 12, 2019 by THE DUKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
