Locker to Washington

[Big C]

locker could have been a high pick this year, but imo it would have taken him several years to be an effective nfl qb. this move is kind of confusing though. hes not on scholarship anymore because he signed a minor league baseball contract, so he is paying his own way through. it seems a little risky for him to stay, but cant fault a guy for wanting an education and to play another year of college football.

some one called into lavar and dukes and said he got $300k for a signing bonus, take that for what it's worth

and i think it is a good move on his part, washington is just starting to turn it around and he has a helluva coach to learn from one more year, granted he might not get as big of a contract next year as he might this year, but hopefully his mindset isn't just signing a big rookie contract but instead being a productive nfl qb over a career

I don't understand that thought. He stays in college and blows out his knee or arm and cannot play pro ball but he now has a degree. He goes to the pros signs a nice deal and blows out his knee but made one big pay day. Can he not now go back to finish college with a bum knee?

like the old saying shit happens, you can't live life thinking about the what if's, botom line the kid is doing what HE wants to do and you can't fault him for that imo
