At worst he was the #2 pick in the draft. Good chance he would have went #1 based on traits. He can only hurt his stock coming back for another year. Delays getting to your 2nd NFL contract by a year too.

No I think he has the right advisors. The history of NFL QBs with one year of experience is not very good.

Think he played it smart. Gonna get a nice year's salary, avoid the Jets, and have a way more diverse group of teams looking for a QB next year.

maybe he doesnt want to play for the Raiders or Jets. the organization that drafts you can have a huge impact on your longevity and development in the NFL. being the Oregon QB and making several million dollars isnt the worst temporary Plan B.

I think this was all about experience. If you look at track record of qb’s with similar college experience to his it’s pretty rough. Moore has rly only started 1.5 yrs. So seems like a good move to do one more year. I don’t think this is much about the jets. As horrific as the ownership is, the roster is not bad for a qb to step into. They have used their last 2 1st’s on tackles and seem to hit on both. Garrett Wilson is good, AD Mitchell has potential, breece hall should be back or else they would’ve traded him at deadline. Yes the defense is awful, but they also have plenty of picks for future drafts. Definitely passed up good money, but he’ll still be paid well at Oregon and is putting himself in a better position for having a solid NFL career. Just my 2¢

Zeusify said:Exactly - The only way he was going to enter the draft was if he was for sure going #1 due to the risk of being picked up by the Jets. He actually has great advisors as he’ll be the top QB by a mile next year, and the Jets will have a QB. If you’re not gettin first pick $$$ going to the Jets is a lose - lose situation.The NYJ are that undesirable I guess

vol_fan89 said:Yeah its not a great choice. There was chatter that some even preferred him over Mendoza. He was a locked in second pick if not a potential number 1 overall. It doesnt get better than that. Next years class is supposed to be a lot deeper, so for him to be the best or second best he is going to have to hold off a lot of folks and the only way you do that is to continue to meet extremely high expectations. The most likely outcome is he stumbles down the board some due to injury or worse play and is drafted later than he would have been this year. But he could come back win every away, a natty and go number 1 overall. But if he doesnt at least win a natty and go 1st next year this will look like a bad choice on the surface.At worst he was the #2 pick in the draft. Good chance he would have went #1 based on traits. He can only hurt his stock coming back for another year. Delays getting to your 2nd NFL contract by a year too.

Jaybird1 said:Agree. He’ll make as much or more next year at Oregon and get the starts he very much needs. This is the right call long term, if he believes in his ability and wants to be a multi year starter. Hes a better CJ Stroud to meNo I think he has the right advisors. The history of NFL QBs with one year of experience is not very good.

If the goal is max money ASAP, sure I see your point. If the goal is to be the best QB ever, learning and gaining reps at AAA is better than jumping to the pros before you’re ready

Think this was stupid. Risk of injury or bad play sends you plummeting. I'll take the Jets and $40M and play for the team I want on my second contract...very very risky what he's doing
