I listened to it this morning and I was just waiting for Dan Patrick to just pull the plug. If you're not going to say anything what's the point coming on at all. Go play for the A's.... 1

THAT was awkward. Dan made the most of it, I thought. I mean, what are you going to do???

turftoe Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 He is trying to get the As to pay him more money for not going to the NFL. I hope the As call his bluff. I don't think he is planning to play in the NFL.

He's trying not to say anything that could possibly be construed as him committing to one sport or the other. Contract issues with the A's, I suppose. Don't let that money get away. If that's the case, he should just not do any interviews. But, he's gotta do interviews because Gatorade's paying him. Lol The struggle is real.

It’s all part of a carefully orchestrated marketing campaign: SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T DRINK YOUR GATORADE?! ? 1
Fr. Jerk Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 He could have took advantage of being on one of the biggest sports shows and sold himself better.. Not even Dan could make that good.

I don't think he is planning to play in the NFL. Exactly. Rumor was he told the A's $15 mil would keep him from entering the nfl draft. That's after the A's gave him $4 mil after drafting him and allowing him to play college football. I want to say I don't blame him for trying, but like you, I feel the A's should call his bluff. He would get killed as a qb in the nfl. Edited February 2, 2019 by Dopey 1
T master Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 I'm think the way this kid has tip toed around what he may or may not do i would think that would make a bunch of NFL execs a little gun shy, i get that he want s to do what's best for his future as far as making money but if that is the biggest thing he's worried about is who will pay him the most then i would avoid him ! Taken isn't all you need to look at when considering a player to draft if he is more worried about a pay check & not about which game he has more love for & wants to make his career then it just adds one more "It's all about me" player to the NFL which there is no shortage of ... 2

Was thinking the same thing... I was really hoping he would go in the top 10 before us and and better non QB players drop to us. After watching that interview I wouldn’t want to draft him in the top 10 and have him the Face of my franchise. Edited February 2, 2019 by wppete
GimmeSomeProcess Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Glad DP started going after him. That was enjoyable to watch. 1
whatdrought Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Honestly, it looks like two things: 1- he’s going to play baseball but he realizes that makes him a relative nobody in the grand scheme of things (Baseball doesn’t really produce transcendent stars) so he’s doing all this “maybe football” stuff to get endorsements and crap now in order to supplement some of what he loses in baseball. 2- he’s waiting for clear indication that he’ll be a top 5-15 pick in the draft before he officially decides. He won’t get that until the combine.
FLFan Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 That kid is not an NFL QB. He is a self entitled little douche. I hope Miami drafts him. 2

The Senator Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) He’s already been paid $4.2M for signing with the As, which he’ll have to return if he signs with the NFL. If money is his main concern, he’ll earn more, and sooner, in baseball. Can he pull a Bo Jackson and play both? I don’t even know what the rules or issues are. I wouldn’t touch him in the draft - I don’t think anyone will, unless it’s as ‘Mr. Irrelevant ‘. . Edited February 2, 2019 by The Senator

I wouldn’t touch him in the draft - I don’t think anyone will, unless it’s as ‘Mr. Irrelevant ‘. . I don’t KNOW, but I hear he’s gotten roughly $1.5 mil of the total contract so far. He’d have to pay it back if he goes football. I also heard Prime Time Sanders say he and Bo could do it, because they didn’t play QB. A QB needs his head in the game 12 months a year. No idea, but it will be interesting to see it play out.
