It's just too risky to stay in school when there is so much money at stake.

Is there an example of someone who stayed in school and lost a ton of money? I mean, even in the cases of Matt Leinart and Jake Locker, the teams who supposedly would have taken them "first overall" didn't bite on them just a year later.

Don't forget Sam Bradford.

Which is the most obvious example that it's not a bad decision. Bradford had the worst possible season he could have had when he came back to Oklahoma. But he went first overall anyway.

Any player could suffer a catastrophic injury that would prevent him from ever playing football again.

Well, sure, but now you're dealing in hypotheticals that aren't of common concern. But, you know, that's one of the things that factored into Jimmy Clausen's decision.

The decision to stay in school is typically made as a real-world decision with concrete reasoning beyond the fear of the highly improbable. There's pros and cons to the decision, which we often simplify to guaranteed $ = good. But the dollars are pretty much as guaranteed a year from now as they are right now.

Money's not the most important factor when it comes to certain kids. It usually makes sense for those who need it more than others, but Barkley comes from a financially stable family (he was born in Newport Beach).

In terms of why he'd stay? How about the return of all of the important skill players (in addition to possibly Kalil), the chance to win a ring and the potential to smash all quarterback records at USC. He's suffered through the sanctions... one more year may have been the reason he stayed.

Having said that, it would be unreal if he went from the cardinal and gold to the B&G.

Yeah ive been thinking about this. If we draft a QB in the top 10 whats the odds that a "big named" FA would want to sign with us? If we draft a QB in the top ten whats the odds Rex stays with us?

Does anyone know when FA starts in 2012?

March 3 if I recall correctly, or maybe it was the 13th. Pretty sure it's the 3rd though
