    What is, because Greg Gaines broke 3 ribs & a shoulder?

    there has only been one qb to forego the draft when guaranteed going #1 overall...our own Jack. I can't see anyone else being stupid enough to turn down the money again.

    Jack was never guaranteed number one.

    Leinart was a lot closer to that than Jack was.

    This was last week's manufactured topic of the moment down here,

    Barkley and Leinhart stayed and ended up losing money and sucking so Darnold should stay even though Palmer left and did better than any of them.

    Some analytic tard said the more passes you throw in college the better your second contract is so he should stay

    Its just epic homerism

    Leinart stayed another year because he needed to show NFL scouts that his noodle arm could hold up for a full season, which it hadn't previously. He had surgery for tendonitis on his throwing elbow right after the 2004 season, couldn't participate in any combine or tryout workouts, and even Carroll said that nobody would risk a 1st-round raft pick on him in that condition.

    he was going higher than the 8th he ended up going...plus he made that amazing decision to not go when the rookies were getting unlimited guaranteed contracts. He ended up with a guarantee of somewhere around $10M from what i heard and if he had come out earlier he would have likely made $45+.
    All of this is true.

    And he was never guaranteed to go number one.

    Abundance.

    Darnold is the kind of QB the LA Rams need. He gone.
