The Tunnel

If you're a projected first rounder you've got to go. Mighty risky to turn down the millions that's going to secure you for life. There's always a chance it doesn't turn out right a year later.

I would not go as far as saying secure you for life... I think the statistic now is 75% of pro athletes are bankrupt 5 years after they retire.

That may be true, but the vast majority of pro athletes are not getting the kind of guaranteed contracts and bonuses of NFL first-round picks. Plus Logan is a very smart guy, and I'm sure he'll be pretty wise about his finances.

I think he comes back. Andrew Luck returned for his senior season when he was projected high first round pick. I think LT is having fun...and will only get better and therefore more valuable.

Luck and Barkley are extreme outliers, they're not the rule. First round for LT and he is 100% gone.

Im in the wagon that Barkley will not make it in the Pro's.

Don't know LTs situation, but both Luck and Barkley come from very secure financial backgrounds.

I think its more common now for qbs to stay in school if they're confident in their high first round status and their team for the year they come back. Luck and Leinart are two off the top of my head.

I think its more likely for a qb to leave if they come off the greatest year they think they'll have or if their team the following year is vastly different.

All other positions I think should go if they get graded high because injuries on defense, rb, or wr are a lot more common.

I think logan stays if he thinks our team next year has a shot at the title (assuming we don't win it this year) regardless of where he's projected (with the exception of overall #1).

I think there is a pretty compelling reason to come back for him and that is anyone who has, has really benefited in growth from a QB standpoint and that had translated into a better pro career.

Peyton, Luck(TBD), Matt Ryan,

Leinhart surprisingly is one who didn't benefit from an extra year at least professionaly. I guess playing with Reggie, et al was pretty helpful

MV1 would have benefited from an extra year IMHO, and its not until now when he has a bit more experience that it makes a difference.

When you are a QB, you have more to learn, more to do, more to understand than all other positions combined. When you're a first round pick, you are expected to start or at least compete.

Tyrod was certainly not a 1st rounder, but how much did he gain from an additional year. All the experience and maturity and the perspective you gain.

Not a sermon, just a thought.

Logan absolutely has to go if he's a projected first round pick, it's as simple as that.. You buy stocks in a company right before it takes off not after it hits its ceiling. You don't take that risk coming back for your final year, to many bad things could happen.. Ride the success wave all the way to the NFL Logan.

Would love to see Logan come back and give bama a bad day cause the defense will be up to the task....with that said if he is a first round lock I want him to do what is best for him and his family....can't be selfish....he needs to take the contract and set himself up with the big bucks....the college experience is great but he's given four years to us.....
