He’s a pretty good football player too.

Yeah you’re right. Modern day Ricky Henderson will only make chump change these days. Go get your eggs scrambled, Kid!

He’ll still have an intact brain if he goes the baseball route. Also what’s the burnout rate on 1st round QBs?

Who was that awful 3rd baseman for the Yankees and QB for the Cowboys?

Drew Hensen.

Let's not forget Chad Hutchinson.

Or he will suck at both, like Quincy Carter.

Buck Belue.

I figured he was white what with that first name and all.

Lindsay Scott.

If you're a 2 sport athlete between football and baseball, you should choose baseball every time. The contracts are guaranteed and the careers last longer.

Just look at Samardzija. he would've been a 1st round WR pick in the NFL draft but went the baseball route. He is a mediocre pitcher and earns more than just about any WR in the NFL, plus his NFL career would've likely been long finished by now.

You get guaranteed big boy bucks for being a 1st round pick in the NFL. You may get a $1M signing bonus if you get drafted high enough in the MLB draft and more than likely will never get a big free agent deal after you churn on your rookie deal for 7 years or whatever it is.

I don't think the same is true of quarterbacks especially in the first round. (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky already is going to get $29 million guaranteed and even with what he has shown so far he is going to earn far more than that on his next contract. Derek Carr is already at like $70 million guaranteed though he had to earn it as a second round pick.

Kris Bryant, so far, has made about $20 million with half of that coming in year 5 where (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky will be making a massive contract if he is even average.

Now, if you want your brain to work at the age of 50 then do baseball.

Didn't Bryant get 8 million signing bonus?

That's just cherry picking examples though.

Assuming Murray would be good at both professions, he would certainly make more money and stay healthier choosing baseball. If he sucked at both he would probably make a slightly bit more by choosing football.

I'm not cherry picking anything. Good quarterbacks get paid huge money now. Kirk Cousins is already at $72 million and will be at $130 million by year 9 with another big contract likely coming after that. That is with him making very little his first few years because he wasn't a first round pick. Jeff Samardzija will be making $127 million in 14 years.

A lot of MLB picks have very limited MLB careers too. A first round NFL QB is almost certainly going to get multiple contracts. It's a huge number if they are decent. Even RGIII has outearned Kris Bryant so far.
