He could have stayed, gotten bigger, gotten more resilient, played more, and probably earned more money doing NIL than he’s earning right now.
He was oft injured here at UF, so far he has played very little due to injuries. He will wow now and then with amazing throws but will have games of inconsistencies when he does play. He is playing in the pro's much like he played here it seems.
I have maintained that AR is a glass cannon. He's a gifted athlete but will be prone to injury. I figure he'll last a couple of more seasons before he has to retire. At least he has his money to fall back on.
If my job depended on making decisions like signing him again or me keep working… not touching him. Someone else can try. Not me baby.
AR's m.o. was to "prove" to the NFL that he is worth a bunch of money. He and his "posse" decided that he could do that with a pretty good third year and a "wow" NFL workout. All he had to do was to convince one team and not all 32 teams. And it appears he did just that. I predict this is the last year he is going to be an NFL QB (unless Indy trades him to someone else). It has nothing to do with him, it is all on the NFL GM/ownership. Good for him.
AR has a passer rating that is #30. The only below him: Bryce Young. Completion percent? Last, at 49.3. Ouch. He's #19 QBR, but of course, today showed the downside.
