No doubt I can't fault him for thinking getting $$$ and being a starter at UGA was better for himself than getting $ and being the starter at State would be. But he's not good enough to be the starter at UGA so his math was wrong. So yes "betting on yourself" is often the correct move, but can't overestimate yourself either. Like in Poker, calling a big raise only works if you have the hand for it. You have to know what cards are in your hand or you'll overplay the hand and come out worse off overall. That's what he did. Best thing for his NFL chances would been to have stated and played and I think his tape at the time made it obvious he wasn't UGA level good
