    i really hope he stays. but maybe he feels good with where he’s at now. maybe if he wins mvp, he’ll feel he has nothing left to prove.

    i hope that isn’t the case. that he still feels the desire to win another superbowl. a chance to play for another one on his home field. the chance to play with puka and adams one more time.

    it’s hard for most athletes to walk away at their prime. but donald did it. doesn’t look like he even remotely regrets that decision.

    Guess it wasn’t such a bad question that reporter asked.

    Reading between the lines, I would say that Kelley will have a big voice in his decision. She has already noted that he has made enough money to take care of the family forever and ever, and they don’t want him to sacrifice his health.

    He has to weigh the value of health versus the value of his legacy goals and love of the game.

    Not necessarily. I mean if you’re going to go that route, common sense would have said never to play the game of football in the first place.

    It’s part of who he is. His rookie year he refused to leave the game with a dislocated shoulder and stayed in to throw a touchdown. Common sense would have told him not to do that either.

    He has a passion for the game that matches his talent. If that’s fading, then yes walk away. If not, then, there is no other consideration.

    Yeah, that’s the deal.

    And he is *this close* to winning another Super Bowl.

    Only a wife and mother and 4 daughters can possibly change his mind. So who knows?

    We shall see.

    So do they NEED to draft a QB this year? I dont think so.

    We know Stafford is year to year now. But I would think two years tops, given all the risks.

    I would not have Darnold or Hertz that high. Both good, but were carried by defenses, etc.
