I love football but if given the choice between it and baseball I would choose baseball. 1 in baseball you can fail 70% of the time and you’re an mvp plus the injuries are less and you will be virtually pain free when you’re old and grey
Both?
Does he have the skill?

The way contracts are written these days that’s probably not even a possibilityBoth?

He has the skill but he is playing the qb position, which requires way more time than a corner or rb like Bo.
This is the only reply that matters. Can't moonlight being a qb. It requires your undivided attention.

Kyler is a quarterback....not some RB or DB it's not gonna work that way.
And that Quarterback money can get long quicker than baseball.
Nobody wants to suffer from depression, migraines and memory loss, either
Baseball was the safer route
More money and less risk
Both?

He's trying to play Quarterback. That's a full time gig.
He can revisit baseball if football don't work out off brand name alone.
*two cents*
Yeah it can but it isn't guaranteed and the risk of injury is higher and then he risk losing millions.
Then say he didn’t perform up to expectations in NFL they ain't gonna give him any significant money.
NFL money will come quicker but it still won't be as long as that baseball money.
He'll have the instant fame which is what I feel he is chasing but unless he turns that into some big endorsement money that'll take care of him later like Derrick Rose then he should stick with baseball imo.
Longer career and better prospects to make more money over the long run. Play for the A's get franchised then make big money.
That is a matter of opinion of course but Baseball Money is real money and you usually don't leave the sport with Brain Damage. If I had athletically gifted kids I'd steer them towards Baseball. If you can hit a MLB breaking pitch and a fastball 28% -30% you're getting paid. You can yawn all the way to the bank. I love to watch football but when you compare the two sports from an earnings perspective football pales in comparison.
More money, less risk and a less enjoyable life.
There is a reason why football is king in America, it's the best sport to play and watch.
What is your childs heart was in football, would you still steer them in that direction?
Especially when one or two folks start hyping you as being a potential top pick...
Baseball season is 162 games, thats a hell of a damn grind. Double headers and shit.

Thats not a good decision..... Go play baseball dummy LOL
Baseball is more money and less risk
Ask Joe Mauer, Josh Fields or Clayton Richard
Not that there is a comparison size-wise but Tebow of Nazareth went to the NFL; was ass (still threw the GW TD in a playoff game though; credit where due); got a minor league deal and might make a big league roster this spring. So if this doesn’t work out for Murray, and he can make as much or more on his first NFL contract, he could probably at least get another MLB shot unless he’s blacklisted because of spurning Oakland.
Like Postalone said doing this just kept all his options open. He's trying to get the A's to commit to a Major league contract where he'd be getting a lot more than just the 4.7 million dollar signing bonus. Personally I'd rather see him play baseball from a health/future money perspective.
None of those dudes are ballers or Heisman winners like Kyler...if there was ever a time for the NFL to accept a short QB....the time is now
Spitting seeds and chewing snuff ain’t all that hard
More money doesn't always equate to happiness though.
Every dude I named was a 5 star QB....
People were saying Joe Mauer would have eventually been the #1 pick in the NFL draft
You saw how much money he made in baseball....
Nigga don’t quote me saying some dumb shit like that
It don't.
A starting qb in the NFL is getting paid, don't matter if it isn't as much as the MLB if you're heart isn't in it.
Wish I knew. Random pic I came across years ago. She's a very well built young woman.
breh....who is this?
But Kyler actually got that feeling when he actually played at a high level and won the Heisman...did Joe Mauer even take any snaps for a power 5 school? I think A-Rod was a Miami (Fla.) Qb back in the day.
The A's should have said you can't play QB because kid was ballin.
Was he drafted as a baseball player though? Or did he just try out for baseball because he was his dream? I can’t remember
