There are back-ups that make 10M in the NFL, so there really is no decision to be made. You get an offer, you take it. No debate. Just like I said Rourke would have been foolish to not that that opportunity last year, while many said he should stay up here to play, which is a naive, and bias way to look at it.
The HC has already said Beathard is #2. And the main reason may be to mentor and support Lawrence.
