checkmate Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Maybe I am missing something, but if he chose to stay, why would he hold a press conference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Maybe I am missing something, but if he chose to stay, why would he hold a press conference? 205609[/snapback] To announce what cheerleaders(spirit squad ) he wants to add to his existing collection of conquests? Maybe the spirit squad has a promising 2005 freshman class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Man Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 The guy's stock will never be higher, even though the thought of playing for the 49ers would make me cringe, the millions of dollars I'd make would be more than enough comfort.

stuckincincy Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I hope he does - every underclassman of 1st or 2nd round potential helps the Bills have a better choice for their 2nd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfladave Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 He will probably be the 1st pick if not certainly top 5. That is some serious signing bonus money there, 10-15 million. If he returned to USC and got hurt, or worse played like crap, he could kiss that set for life signing bonus away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Be the 1st pick in the draft or stay in college? What to do, what to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like A Mofo Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Id stay versus playing for the cheap 49ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soljc Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 The 49ers are NOT drafting a QB, at least not with the #1 spot. They've made a committment to Rattay, who battled injuries all year, but will surely return as the starter. And, more importantly, the 49ers have so many other problems--among them who replaces franchise LB Peterson--they'll trade down and grab extra picks.

It's quite likely he has a healthy insurance policy against that. He didn't come across like he'd cared much about money (though I know nothing about his family's financial situation). He actually said he thinks his college years are going to be the best of his life and doesn't think he's going to like the business side of football.

/dev/null Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 But some team might pick him up and let him go through rehab his entire rookie year. 205837[/snapback] imo the 49ers are going to trade down at least once if not twice in the 1st. the dolphins, browns, and titans may all be interested in moving up to #1 for him. i could also see dallas sending their and our first rounders (#10 and #20) to SF for the #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the roster - they are loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
