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

As a college fan, I'm very grateful that we have a system that encourages guys like Stingley to play college football for 3 years.

As an NFL fan, I'm very grateful that players are developed enough to contribute immediately when they are drafted. It's much better than teams drafting unknown quantities and having to hold on to them for a couple of years.

Both situations are good for the game.

I don’t think a player leaving after 1 year is good for either fan. As a college fan you get one year of watching the player which yes that sucks but as an NFL fan how pissed would you be if a guy becomes a free agent at 22 years old and signs with someone else. Especially if he had really started to develop in his last 1-2 seasons.
