I understand there's the whole money thing and being guaranteed to be the first pick...but look at Manning...staying 4 years really helped him start faster. I think QBs that have more time as a starter in college can progress quicker in the NFL. I think Winston with just 2 years should be okay...but if he stays one more year and has 3 years of putting up big numbers...even if they don't win the championship again. I have to imagine not only will he stay the top pick but that will make him even more attractive because he has 3 years of experience.

Agree 100%.The only real downside is, he could possibly sustain a career ending injury. But what are the chances of that happening.
Risking a career threatening injury is a pretty big risk with millions on the table and there is no upside if he is projected as a top 5 pick let alone #1. You can't get anymore attractive than that either. Peyton is a bad comparison. Lots of guys stay in and do not develop anymore. Peyton is Peyton.He can stay if he wants, but it is a high risk/very low reward move.

Yes look at Tebow.
That would be one example
