Thoughts on Sam Staying

Wrote this today over on The Ralphie Report.  Thoughts?

I hate this article. I don't think Irish agrees with me (of course I have admitted before that I am a Bradford fan) on this but I don't think there is anything wrong with Sam Bradford coming back for another year.  Whitlock (who often writes just for shock value) is basically bashing the decision that Sam made based on the fact that he may have possibly given up some of the ridiculous amount of money that he would have made had he entered the draft this year,

I heard news travels slow in the Dust Bowl, but surely the Bradford family has heard about the world-wide financial crash. Maybe they're immune?

and he (like a lot of other people) seems bent on comparing Bradford to Matt Leinart. 

Leinart made a horrible decision, and in fact may have revealed a bit of the immaturity that has kept him tethered to the Arizona bench for three years. In order to excel in the NFL, you have to really want to be a professional football player. Being an NFL quarterback carries the most responsibility in professional sports.

So now Sam is immature because he delayed financial gain for an opportunity at extending what is, for most people, the best time of their lives?  Yes, there is a chance that Sam could slide in the draft next season based on the 2009 season, but seeing how his draft grade came back between the 10th and 20th picks isn't there also a great chance that he could improve his stock? I have a good job that I thoroughly enjoy at the moment, but sometime over the next two years I will give up that job (and the salary and benefits that go with it) to head back to college full time and pay a lot of money to get my MBA.   Why on earth would I do that?  To give myself two more years of the college experience (or at least something close to it) and the learning that goes along with and to maybe, but just maybe, give myself an opportunity to make even more money.  Is it going to happen?  Who knows, but it sure is worth it to me and it sounds like it sure is worth it to Sam too.
