Perhaps Mack Should have Stayed?

The greatest thing he has are options.  Having options are great.  Money buys flexibility.  

Go get em Marlon.

Go Bulls!

Look up Dejuan Wagner out of Memphis. Coach Calipari gave him great advise to leave school early for the NBA draft. He got a contract for over 7million. His career ended after one season due to health issues. In hindsight, Wagner would never get that money if he stayed one more year. Crazy how life is so I don't blame Mack for going early

Marlon Mack came out at the right time.  I don't think his draft stock was going to significantly go up next season and he risk injury.  Taking off my fanboy hat... This worked out really well for him.  He legitimately has a shot at starting, some expect him to eventually be the starter.  I think if he came back he could have gone in the third but I don't think it was going to get too much better than that.  The difference between 3rd and 4th round money isn't enough to  rationalize coming back.  He would have actually lost money by staying.  He would have been trying to creep into second round sharing time with Johnson and Tice again.  It wasn't going to get much better.  Would have made fans happy... but he would have loss money imo.   Also things worked out, he's in the perfect situation in Indy.

Maybe he wouldn't have gotten injured if he stayed in school and he'd have had a long career?

His health issue had to do with a rare disorder as I believe they had to remove his colon. So it was a rare but you never can see something like that coming. In Wagner's case, he chose right to leave early.

Well,

I'm happy for Mack, but I took a look at next years and RB is weak next year.  I think Mack could have gone top 5 RB next year... Maybe a rounds 1-2.

On another note... QF is projected the #5 QB in next year's draft... I can see QF as a Russell Wilson type if his passing continues to develop this year.  (Mike White is #7)

You can't discount the serious concussion that Mack suffered last year in his decision either.

I believe this had to factor in, and, I hope it doesn't hamper him.

Go get paid young Mack
