You guys crack me up. You talk as if you take it personally that he wants to stay in college for his last year, like he is stealing a year of his usefulness from the NFL. The fact is he can get more prepared for a pro career by staying in school one more year, and he can have fun doing it.
I think that he is probably smart enough to take some kind of insurance policy out in case he gets hurt (the same way Manning did). Also, when did football become all about money? Yes, he could cost himself millions if he gets hurt or his team doesn't perform... or... the NFL could restructure its salary cap with the new TV agreements being reached with disney, Matt and USC have a great year, and he makes millions more. If I were a player, I'd follow the Manning example. Stay in school, insure yourself, hone the more precise passing in the senior year so that the NFL leap wont be as difficult, and work on any weaknesses. It sounds like a "Gibbs guy" doesn't it? The football and records are way more important than the money. I'd like a whole team full of guys that think like that.
