or getting his pre-med degree is actually important to him

Idiocy/jealousy is unbecoming

does oregon offer a pre-med degree? maybe i'm nitpicking here, but the vast majority of schools don't offer a pre-med degree. you simply take a pre-med track (taking chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, biology, etc) and get a degree in something else (could be chemical engineering, english, art history, biological sciences, whatever)

It's everything he needs to get into medical school as I understand it. He takes a pretty heavy work load. Lots of anatomy, math and other sciences

People said the same thing when Luck returned...that turned out ok.

luck didn't really improve his stock his final year at stanford. he would have been the first overall pick if he had come out a year earlier.

so actually, he may have cost himself a year worth of big time income ($20 million+) by staying that extra year. of course that was his decision and it wasn't a disaster for him like it was for matt barkley.

Did he enter the NFL a better player after another year at Stanford? Yes.
Did he finish his Architecture degree? Yes.

Seems like a win-win.

yes the head Dr in the ER at the hospital i work at did that. premed at oregon then off to medical school.

who's to say he wouldn't develop faster playing against better talent a year earlier?
could he have finished his degree later in life? of course.
did he give up 8 figures of football earnings? yup.

Andrew Luck would also be on the Panthers or Broncos right now so its not like he'd be on a bad team

well i don't know what oregon was like when he was at oregon, but there does not appear to be a pre-med degree at oregon now.

At least the NFL gets an additional 1 year reprieve from another Duck QB bust.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Playing some arena thing in Portland I believe.

Leaving early didn't really work out for him

Dixon didnt leave early. He got hurt his SR year.

I believe you are confusing he and Thomas. Thomas is the Duck QB that left early and is now the new Portland arena football QB.

Thomas left early because Mariota as a Freshman was to take his job.

When the Huskies have half the NFL HOFers that Oregon has you look me up...

for the most part there is no such degree. what it is is a degree that sets a person up to go to medical school. the term premed is more of a plan or track that sets up to med school. a degree in sciences like biology or chemistry.
I had a friend who became an xray tech to go on to med school so he could become a radiologist

I just don't see coming back when I was told he locked up the heisman trophy last week.

Glad to see that TO machine back for another year, I would have advised him to take a top5 NFL pickie now instead of having to see him fumble the rwak away like he did in the 2nd half of the season...AGAIN!

 

[Wild Turkey]

What's the real deal on this did he get a bad scouting report for the draft? With Murray getting an ACL I would think he would be early 2nd round easy. Gotta make scratch when you can IMO.
