Buffalo716 Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Honestly stupid if he is. He can be a perennial all star in baseball... might not even be an NFL starter 3 Quote
YoloinOhio Posted January 9, 2019 Author Posted January 9, 2019 I have seen a few reputable analysts say they think he’s a 1st rounder. I would be surprised at 5’9 Quote

I think that he has enough enough talent, but I don't know if his body could hold up at his size. As a Bills Fan, I hope he declares. It might give us a better chance of trading down. 1 hour ago, Augie said: QB’s seem to be shrinking every year! Are defenders doing the same? Quote

Ittakestime Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 Any team that drafts this kid deserves to have a house cleaning the next day. He isn't big enough, end of story. Stick to baseball kid 1 Quote

It's typically a longer and less predictable road to MLB stardom than it is to the NFL. From what I understand he has $5 mill guaranteed on the A's contract. Unless I'm mistaken Lamar Jackson had about the same guaranteed as a late 1st rounder. The rewards ($$$) usually come quicker in the NFL...as does the end of the dream for those who don't pan out. So while, I don't disagree that baseball is the better choice for him, I can see where it's a difficult decision if he'e projected to go first round. Quote

Yea it’s tough if he is projected that high but he was a top 10 pick in baseball... He is projected to be a all star type player. He was a very high recruit. we aren’t talking a 30th round pick here. We are talking a kid who is projected to be a gold Glove type fielder and swing a plus bat with great speed he would be in the pros sooner than later barring some crazy circumstances .. and the $$ he can make if he’s good is Almost double Edited January 10, 2019 by Buffalo716 Quote

Otherwise he wouldn't have gotten $5 mill guaranteed...from the freakin' A's! It's just my perception that : - first round NFL QB's make a lot more money a lot quicker (how long until Kyler makes his next $5mill playing baseball?) - top NFL draft picks are more of a sure thing than top MLB draft picks out of college - top NFL draft picks are at best a 50/50 proposition Quote

All 10 still play professional baseball. 9 are Big leaguers with only 1 never cracking the show yet most top 10 picks are big leaguers Quote
YoloinOhio Posted January 10, 2019 Author Posted January 10, 2019 He could go the Tebow route. Try football first if it’s his first love. If it doesn’t work, go play baseball at that point. Just seems like he loves football and doesn’t want to give it up. If he’s projected to go that high, very tough decision. Imagine being a 1st rd pick in 2 sports. 1 Quote

The rest would come later, and it would be 5+ years before he made more that $700k. Aaron Judge only made about that last year. You have to get your years in and get to the next contract. Having said that.....you can play MLB forever compared to the NFL. Do what makes you happy in life. Quote

How many top 10 MLB picks from college become big leaguers? Alll stars? Perennial all stars? And did you distinguish pitchers from position players? You tabbed Kyler as an all-star....no wait, a perennial all-star! That was a step too far for me and led me to respond. For the record, I'm not entrenched in the idea that baseball is a better choice than football for Kyle or vice versa. I think it's a difficult decision for him (we haven't even touched on injury factor or love of the game!). 1 Quote

A lot of rolls seem think he’s potentially the first QB taken which means we’re talking top 5-10 I could See that and I hope so since we are at 9... either opportunity to trade back or it pushes a non-QBs down Quote

I certainly don’t watch enough college baseball to make that report myself i did not breakdown the HS-college ratio until you just asked and it was 5-5 in that top 10 all 5 college picks are still big leaguers. 2 infielders / 3 pitchers Quote

I did expect it to be more pitchers than position players from college...but then again I'm assuming Kyler isn't a pitcher due to his height. Quote
