Kyler Murray Should Learn from Russell Wilson in Making Rough MLB vs. NFL Call

On top of that, he had 1,000 yards rushing with 12 more touchdowns and was the most lethal dual-threat quarterback in college football.Now, inevitably, the debate rages: Should Murray play baseball for the Athletics or scrap those plans and try to be the NFL's next superstar quarterback?It's a tough call, fraught with pitfalls either way. Then there are the words of Murray's agent, Scott Boras, who indicated his client is committed to playing for the A's this spring and going forward."Kyler has agreed and the A's agreed to a baseball contract that gave him permission to play college football through the end of the collegiate season," Boras said Dec. 9, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. For that reason, when a two-sport athlete has to choose between baseball and football, conventional wisdom says he should choose baseball, because the money is better and the risk of injury is less."Therefore, Murray's choice to embrace the crack of the bat and the pop of the glove over the crushing blow of a defensive lineman would appear to make sense on the surface. If Murray ditches baseball and plays football, he could dabble on the diamond the way Wilson has.
