I think guys that play in those systems have a much larger learning curve when they turn pro which is why so few make it. So for those guys, the earlier they can get to the pros and learn, the better off they are.

as more teams switch to the spread it will be hard for NFL teams to field an NFL style QB…this will work to Pitt’s advantage recruiting QBs that wanna go pro as a passer… Pat white will probably play baseball.

It doen’t even matter right now… it is all speculation. he could tear his ACL in camp this upcomig year just like Kinder, and ruin all hopes of the NFL big $$$. Who cares right now. he will change his mind 9 times before he has to actually make the decision. Too bad he doesn’t have a better coach at Pitt.

1. his marketing potential can go through the roof if he has a great JR year and/or wins the heisman. possible endorsements like the cover of NCAA Football 11’, nike, adidas, etc…
2. his legacy will be there with tony dorsett and dan marino instead of larry fitz and curtis martin
3. AWARDS…heisman, walker, maxwell, all-american, big east player of the year, dapper dan, etc…
4. draft stock can go from late first to top 10…big difference in money
5. Willis Mcgahee: willis took out insurance before his bowl game with OSU in which he tore his acl. had he never played again he would have gotten 2 mill…be he came back to be still be drafted 23 overall
6. NFL linebackers all hit hard! you may have a college team with one killer LB, in the NFL they are all killers…some of them literally! an extra year to get bigger and faster would be in his best interest
7. injury…yes he could get injured but he could also get injured on the first day of nfl camp and only leave with his signing bonus and never play a down. you can’t play and be a great RB if you have fear. injury should not be in his mind…if it is, he should stay because you cant be timid in the NFL.
8. Oppurtunity: pitt has a chance to do great things next year and McCoy will be a HUGE part…his status would instantly go from star to LEGEND

I hope people do look at from a money perspective but not the quick money for leaving now…i’m talkin the big cash in if he has a monster JR year… if he left now its like pulling ur stocks out to early.

noone is going to remember him unless he makes it bigtime in the pros. He could stay at pitt for 8 years to show commitment, suck when he gets to the nfl, and be forgotten like everyone else. It doesn’t matter is he stays or goes, he needs to be a standout in the nfl to be remembered.

people remember a lot of guys that were stars in college and sucked in the pros… ron dayne, kijana carter, geno toretta, ty detmer, andre ware…THE ROCKET!!! holy **** the rocket was probably the best player to never win a heisman…Hugh Green…rick mier, tommy fraiser, danny wurfel, rex grossman, hershel walker for God;s sake was a MONSTER in college and his NFL career was no where near that and he remained popular because of his status he built as a college player.

tony d was one of the best NFL running backs ever but a lot of people not just in pittsburgh know tony for what he did at pitt and bringing pitt from worst to first.
