A coach I respect who has coached high school and college, including considerable recruiting over a 30 year period ...in a discussion last week...felt Stafford had best NFL potential of the big name QBs this year, i.e. Harrell, Tebow,Bradford, et. al. He stated he would take him as the first QB drafted if he had to draft a QB.
I agree with Hat, make the money while you can. With this economy a player who can get the big bonus money ought to go for it now, who knows what is coming down the line. Although we think it impossible...pro sports franchises could also fold, look how worried some folks are in NASCAR.
You got the skill and talent to play with the big boys...hoorah for you! As much as I hated Jerod Mayo leaving last year, his choice looks like the decision of a genius at this time.
