Has any QB ever made a worse decision to return for his Senior year?
Note: maybe he loves USC and would do it again. That's great, but I am speaking financially. Last season, he could have been #2 overall and at worst, probably top 5. Now, he is mid to late first round it seems.

Thread is stupid.
He would be the 3rd best QB last year. This year he will be the 1st taken and still a top 3 pick.

Horrible decision by him to come back. I don't think much of him as a QB honestly, wouldn't want the Bills to draft him.

Locker went #8. He was projected #7 his junior year iirc.
Barkley may still be a top ten pick. Who at QB established himself this year. He should still be the second QB taken in April.

What mock draft have you been looking at? The one's from August?

I guess Mel Kiper is drafting these days huh? Same guys that said Logan Thomas was the best QB right?

Of course not. Big difference in was projected to be a first round guy next year to would have possibly been the #2 pick overall.

Snead went from a projected 2nd rounder, to being undrafted. Barkley would not have been drafted higher than RG III, and there was a lot of debate as to if he would have been drafted higher than Tannehill.
