Two observations:
1) Being the politician that he is, Shaw doesn't directly answer the question. Whether a player should have the option of going pro earlier is a very different question from whether he is likely to succeed if given that option. One could presume that Shaw doesn't think players should have that option based on his comments but that's not what he says.
2) Ed played in the NFL for many years at a very high level. Shaw didn't.
