He made the right decision. It wasn’t going to get better than 2022.

These. What Max Duggan did in his career here and especially in 2022 made him a TCU legend for as long as the University stands, and he produced one of the greatest and most memorable seasons of any TCU QB. Too many moments to name. Oh, and he went 4-0 vs the wHorns.
That his skillset isn't suited to the NFL (at least at this point in time) takes absolutely nothing away from that.

Returning to TCU would have been the wrong decision. We had a new OC, and had to replace a most of offensive pieces (Avila, Ali, Johnston, Davis, Miller, etc). Max probably has a much worse year in 2023 than he had in 2022.
In all honesty the best decision for Max probably would have been to grad transfer to a school with all the pieces in place for a big 2023 run, with the exception of the QB position. Get a big NIL deal, continue to develop and make a run at national championship.

I remember you saying something similar about Turpin’s abilities regarding the NFL. Must be tough being the authority…
It's my opinion.
Yeah, I didn't think Turpin would have much of an NFL career, if one at all. He's obviously doing better than I thought he would, or proving me wrong, or whatever. I admitted that. I thought Josh Doctson would be a good NFL player. I guess he proved me wrong too. It happens, big deal.

You clearly should be held to a higher standard than NFL scouts.

Have to wonder about a Pro team that can’t seem to find a way to work a Heisman runner-up and 6’4” receiver that has proven he can play the position, into some role that helps the team.

Would have made way more money I imagine.

So how do you explain the ”logic” used to draft Zac Wilson and then Tom Brady. The NFL front offices are full of mental midgets.
Geno Torretta, Jason White, and Eric Crouch WON the Heisman.
And playing WR in college is a little different than playing it in the NFL. Just ask Josh Doctson.
and make solid NIL bank.
I'm convinced he made the wrong financial decision by going pro.

I don't think so. If it was going to work out for him in the NFL, it was going to be leaving this year and focusing fully on football.

Was I supposed to type something here?
Why the switcheroo? Some arcane NFL rule? A way to save a week of Active Roster pay?

Both. There is a numerical limit to the number of players on the active roster. Teams are allowed to add, subtract during the season within some guidelines I hope you don't ask me to quote...but they're there. The pay scale for "active" vs. the pay scale for "practice" is significant, so if you already have two active QBs you probably will not want/need a third, so Max goes to "practice" status, his weekly pay goes down, making payroll room (remember, there's a $$ limit on that, too) for another player considered more important for next Sunday's game. I would really like to take a course in NFL roster management...'twould be fascinating!
