there is a reason all these QBs that were drafted, chose football, much more of a sure thing vs baseball.
I remember some people saying Kyler Murray was dumb for choosing football over baseball because they see major league salaries and less of a toll on the body. I don't think those guys realize how hard it is to make the show in the first place, and the way contracts work, you basically get your signing bonus and then make dirt until arbitration years down the line before ever finally getting that big contract, and it's a big "if" you even get there. Being a #1 overall pick at QB in the NFL is, like you said, much more of a sure thing financially.
He entered the league with a 4 year $35 million contract as the #1 overall NFL pick. Paul Skenes got a record signing bonus of $9.7M as #1 overall MLB pick but how long you think it'll take him to get the next $25M?

exactly. being high pick in nfl is a sure thing with less future earnings comapred to superstar in baseball. but baseball is hard AF to even make it there
deion answered this very clearly.....when asked which was harder by shannon sharpe....he said no doubt baseball.....said that ball does some crazy things and the reason why he loved is so much was because he could never master it and it frustrated him
in baseball, cant just rely on athletic ability. certainly helps but lots more goes into it. its the hardest sport to train for and hardest to play.
that is what makes it so great.
