Some differences...
1. It is not the same as someone who never played college ball. Quinney has played. So he had the experience to look back on and the fellowship to tap into.
2. There is no guarantee Quinney would have seen the field this year. That is tough when you have been the starter.
3. Playing OL is like running into a concrete wall for a living. You have your long-term health to consider.
4. Getting a job is important for both the long and short term. You go from college poor to entry level doing okay, and you go from a relatively short career to a full career reaching your full career potential, which helps with life prestige and retirement. We sell ourselves as a 40 year decision, so we should not second guess someone who starts his 40 years.
5. We are not Zach Quinney, and only he can evaluate his situation.
