@TotallyRed: Yeah, no. Ask a whole host of QBs that were going to come out last year and decided to stay in school, and see how they like their draft stock now. He can go #2 overall easily. There is nowhere near a guarantee he goes top 10 next season, and could easily fall out of the 1st with a bad year.
Who? What 1st round QB tanked their stock coming back? That hasnt happened yet in the NIL era.

Drew Allar (disgustingly bad QB), Nussmeier, Klubnik, Carson Beck, Quinn Ewers, Sam Howell and Spencer Rattler were never sniffing being drafted before round 3 if they came out earlier. There were some people saying that they had first round potential, but those were the same people who thought Matt Corral was a 1st round pick in 2022 before the combine. It was just bs speculation from know nothing talk show guys meant to fill dead air.

Dante Moore has tools, but he is a bad prospect right now, who desperately needs more reps at the college level. He is not ready to be an NFL QB. I would put Moore at 0% chance of getting a franchise QB 2nd contract if he came out in this draft. He's giving up a 1st round contract for ~ 4-8 million NIL and a much greater chance at getting the generational wealth 2nd contract. If he tears his ACL/Achilles early in the season he loses on this gamble. If he somehow gets worse he loses. Anything else and he wins.

Good move football wise, terrible move money wise. He's passing up over $40 million, more than likely, that he'll never make up. That $40 mil is gonzo forever. I'm sure he will be OK financially anyway but that's a LOT of dinero to throw away.
Who cares he’s already set for life if he’s smart. Most families would drag him to the pros so I’m guessing he’s got an excellent support system. He’s not ready to be a franchise QB in the NFL.

It is only going UP every year. It was $39 million last year and is projected to be about $43 million this year (for the top pick(s) in the NFL draft).

He is already a millionaire (NIL net worth of $2.4 million). He gets to be big man on campus and try to win the CFB Championship, win the Heisman or other awards, and play another year of college ball. His choice. And when he comes out next year, the value of being a top pick will likely be closer to $47/48 million.

He's just a kid. I remember when Jake Plummer came out of ASU. He was sad to not have any more college eligibility because he had so much fun being a college QB. It's a limited time thing and you can never go back, so enjoy it while you can (and get paid for doing it nowadays).
Oh, I can understand all of that and I think it's great he went back for his development. As I said, I'm sure he'll end up just fine financially as long as he stays healthy and plays well next year.

And he might never be. I wasn't blasting the kid for going back, I think it was a good move. It's still a lot of money to leave on the table, that's all I was saying.
