But does he want us to respect his decision?
He had to come out and tell NFL teams that he is committed to football, otherwise why would they spend a high draft pick on him if they aren't even sure he wants to play football over baseball?
If he is a high draft pick he'll go with football, but if he some how slides in the draft don't be surprised when he changes his mind again and goes to baseball.

I don't see that working out, but wish him the best of luck
does he give back the baseball $$?
What is a trainwreck of a decision for $500, Alex.
Yes because Kyler has a history of things not working out. He already has the benefit of the Browns not looking for a QB so he also has that going for him.Ag4coal said:

The only question I have is why did he start his statement with "Moving forward..."?

A couple of good hits and he'll be fielding ground balls....
How does he "train" to be taller? Inversion therapy? His height is his main weakness.
Really, I hope Kyler is successful. He's an exciting player.
Sumlin so grossly mismanaged our quarterbacks, I don't blame Kyler for leaving A&M -- that was 100% on Sumlin.

You know how players name their HS on MNF? Does Kyler name TAMU?
Don't you have to give football a shot over getting lost in the baseball minor league system? Baseball isn't going away, he can always go back.
he burns every organization he gets involved with. And whichever NFL teams drafts him will be next.
the A's were so stupid to spend a 1st round pick on him

The kid will have $1million+ before the age of 23 and probably another million waiting in endorsements & publication rights due to his story. He wins no matter what. Best of luck to him.
So once he gets drafted he will go back to focusing on both sports again?
Interesting. His game seems unlikely to transition well but maybe there is a flaming idiot like Kingsbury that will have to learn this all over again.

He must lose because he left my passball school, and I predicted he'd fail at Another passball school, but went on to win the most prestigious award and will now get drafted in two of the largest professional sports leagues in the world. I'm going to quadruple down and predict he fails again. All because he left my passball school.
I think OU is pretty satisfied with their relationship with Kyler.
If he's a first round pick (as he's currently projected) he will make at least twice as much money from his first NFL contract ($32 million for #1, $10 million for #32) as his MLB contract is worth($5 million). With the rules changes benefitting QBs, it's a no brained. And he'll never have to ride buses for 9 hours in the minors during his first couple years as a pro.

I agree. Time to dust off the too small takes! These threads are gold. Kyler would be penniless and on the street if the combined power of wishing someone to fail had any effect.1876er said:Schrute Farms said:

Kyler posts pic of longhorns jersey: Screw him we didn't want him anyway. We sign him and rejoice.
Kyler transfers: He is too small and not SEC ready! Goes on to win the heisman.
Kyler elects to go to NFL instead of MLB: Terrible decision will never make it in the NFL too small!
Glad he chose football because I don't ever watch baseball. It'll be very interesting to see how someone his size does.
Good for him, I hope he kicks ass in the NFL.
Much more exciting than if he had chosen baseball. Looking forward to watching his NFL career whether it be short or long-lived.
Has there been a 5'6" QB in the NFL in the modern era?

I wish him well, but I do think his longer and more profitable career will be in baseball if he doesn't get a career ending injury.
He's listed at 5'11", I'm sure he's really somewhere between 5'9" and 5'10"zipp99 said:

We'll find out for sure at the combine though...
At what point is predicting certain failure for the young man kinda stupid?
Kid loves football. He has a chance to be a pro. Live your dream, kid. Don't play it safe.S.A. Aggie said:

Life's an endless party, not a punch card.

My opinion is that he would be better off long term in baseball. If football is his passion, best of luck to him.
Hands are too small. He already floats the ball too often, and the NFL ball is bigger. Can't train for hand size.
Word coming out of the A's is that they will try to keep him in fold for if football doesn't work out.HoustonAg2106 said:

His problem has always been his pride.
Name all that he has burned. Does this include Allen HS and OU?W said:
