Hell I taken a few years off to raise my kids because I'm able to start over easier than most because I'm able to make great money and that was a very difficult at first but the VALUE of my life and my kids is better.

So to go back to Andrew Luck, the VALUE of continuing his education now verses later to me is the odd choice here...he wants his degree great I'm all for that so finish it when your career is over with NO distractions you never turn down guaranteed money for a future that can only be equal to worst given the Stanford situation. The money we are discussing above could be anywhere discussed above but certainly next year its not going to be better! And if its Carolina he's trying to avoid please he's gong to a bad team no matter what happens. He is the best prospect on the board and I find it strange that he is waiting because it doesn't make a lot of sense to the majority of experts and fans. And stop saying his dad has money because while that may be true Andrew does not!

Again I want to point out the degree he's after what is it worth over the next 4-5 years (if he's a flop in the NFL) that its worth turning down guaranteed money now? Also I want to point out and in that 4-5 years he can still earn that degree.

I hope for him that he is lucky and it all works out for him but many would agree that the odds are against him.

Tons of guys graduate from the OLine & life could be different in Furdland with Harbaugh leaving as well. What if he gets injured & can't finish out? He will drop like a rock in the draft. In life, sometimes you have to grab the brass ring when it's begging you to!! Big mistake.
