re: I wonder if Stingley is a little ticked right now...

So he won’t make as much in two more years? OP is confusing

Time value of money for one

2nd, assuming he’s plays the same amount of total football years, that would be two less years of lost income....and then again back to time value of money

Confused still?

This is a terrible, terrible argument.

That's two years where he risks catastrophic injury without being paid. And beyond that, waiting two years is 2 less years of professional football he gets to play. These guys have a limited window for their careers. It isn't like an accountant starting their career 2 years late, where they can work for 40+ years. 2 years to a Pro Football player, even a HOF talent, could be 20% of their playing career. That's roughly 20% less career earnings.

All that being said, Stingley is the 1/1000 type player that could go pro as a freshman and it make sense and be a good decision. It sucks for Stingley, but it's just the way it is and the rule actually makes sense for 99.99% of guys.
