You obviously don't watch sports much. SVP has a segment where they say that saying every night.
But I'm looking at the potential for much more than that down the road. I'll explain in a bit.First off, I love how you think if he doesn't go to Cleveland, he'll automatically fall to Buffalo at 12. Teams trade up, and there are a few teams before Buffalo that could take him and it would make some sense. A lot of things can happen.
If he doesn't go first, he could go last? No one knows when he goes and he could drop like a rock into later rounds and be totally assed out to ANY guaranteed money. Any bad news prior to a draft can be devastating to a player. I can list many examples where a guy got caught on social media or arrested or bad press plummeted his stock right before the draft. That guy ends up with no guarantee money then have a career ending injury. This happens every week in the NFL.
Cleveland is where QBs go to die and run for their lives, even with Hue Jackson there, who is supposed to be this great offensive mind. Buffalo not great with this either, but like I said before, it's not like it's gonna be one or the other.
What the fukk does Cleveland have to do with you? Nothing because you obviously aren't a top tiered QB. You most likely never played football nor understand what the draft means to your financial future.
This is a good blueprint if you grew up broke and have no faith in your ability to make it in the league. If you grew up in poverty, yes, take as much money as you can and let the chips fall. This is also a good blueprint if you're a 5th round pick or something like that, because then your scenario applies. Most 1st rd QBs have a brighter future than what you're describing.
WTF are you talking about? 99% of football players grew up broke and NONE of them should have faith in their ability to make it in the league. NONE! I don't give a shit what you did in college. You could be an All American, even a Heisman award winner, YOU ARE NOT GUARANTEED to make an NFL roster. Are you fukking serious? How many people in the world end up a 1st round NFL QB? They don't fukkking grow on trees. And he one's that do are still out of the league in less than 3 years. Guys like Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees are anomalies.
And believe it or not, a lot of top-end players understand the long game. Where you go is important down the road. If you're a top QB, you can have a 15 year career ahead of you if you're as good as advertised. Don't go to Cleveland where you can get ruined. Take your chances on getting picked up by a team that can develop QBs, give you a decent OL, put you in a position for better endorsements, etc. You want 30 mil now, or 200+ mil later? It's a gamble, but one worth taking for a lot of people.
