I'm just looking at it from his point of view...as I suspect he is. It would have been idiotic for him to come back. You can't imagine a scenario where his stock would have improved. If his skill set improved somewhat, he MAY go in a similar spot. Of not, his stock sinks like a stone. If he gets hurt.....boom.

This is a young man's life. I'm not going to selfishly wish he did the wrong thing for him. That seems pointless, and dumb.
