No doubt that Iowa has a good track record, but you make it sound like he went to Nebraska. I'm pretty sure that there are quite a few successful Bama olinemen in the NFL. They've had an Olineman selected in the first round of the last 4 drafts. I'm not sure how many schools can say that but it's gotta be a pretty short list.Looking at the exploits of Tristan Wirfs and Tyler Linderbaum ... when both guys get to their 2nd contracts ... they're going to be making an absolute killing!
As others have rightly mentioned ... this was little more than a quick grab for the biggest bag of cash.
As in many cases ... the decision seems more linked to short-term gain than looking to the long-term pay-off.
I've mentioned this several times before ... but just look at what Piersbacher did at Alabama ... he had a really nice college career ... got himself some collegiate championship rings to boot ... however, at the end of the day, his former high school QB ... Ike Boettger is earning more in the NFL than he was!
Looking at Proctor ... he's going to be getting his bag of cash ... and 'Bama is always going to be in the picture for the CFP ... for as long as Saban is there. However, what will this imply for his (Proctor's) long term development? What ...? A replay of Piersbacher maybe? Hell ... I remember when Alabama got another 5-star OL in Cyrus Kouandjio ... a guy who was really impressive out of De Matha High School (Md). Hell ... Boettger's out-earned him too!
Looking to a longer term ...
Marshall Yanda - over $70 million in career earnings!
Bryan Bulaga - over $65 million in career earnings!
Riley Reiff - roughly $70 million in career earnings!
Brandon Scherff - already over $80 million in career earnings!
And, of course, odds are that Wirfs could ultimately see his earnings outpace Scherff! (in his short career ... he's already over $12 million)
If he (Proctor) was really concerned about money ... he should have "settled" for the place that would help to maximize his development. That is called ... investing in yourself!
Who…Proctor?😉Please, never mention his name here again.
Fair and interesting questions ... so it got me to do some digging.I am not an Alabama fan so I do not know, nor am I interested in how their lineman have performed and how much they have made in the NFL. However, for your argument to have at least some validity, you should probably provide a comparison.
You could start by evaluating how many offensive lineman from each class make the NFL and how much they have earned throughout their career for each team. If your analysis is correct (which it might be, I don’t know), the teams should be roughly equal or Iowa to show increased earnings.
Sure ... 'Bama ain't no 'Braska.No doubt that Iowa has a good track record, but you make it sound like he went to Nebraska. I'm pretty sure that there are quite a few successful Bama olinemen in the NFL. They've had an Olineman selected in the first round of the last 4 drafts. I'm not sure how many schools can say that but it's gotta be a pretty short list.
Do they pay income tax on that stuff?From what I heard Iowa offered 250k. Oregon offered 1 million. Then Alabama offered 2 million and he couldn’t turn that down. Man took the bag and trying to deny it now.
too latePlease, never mention his name here again.
Yep, Uncle Sam takes from everything. They tax social security, your pension, interest, income, etc. He'll pay.Do they pay income tax on that stuff?
Who…Proctor?😉
No, he chose the path he thought best for him. He chose the wrong one. He righted it and is coming home.anyone else still pissed about the way he stabbed iowa in the back last year or am I the only one?
