Luck already top 5 QB? per ESPN/NFL hack


Jmac

Recommended Posts

Mike Sando (who?) per ESPN/NFL article...didn't bother to attach since it's a lot of slobbering and ass kissing.He iS NOT a top five QB at this time....maybe top ten or fifteen(I do believe Cam will be right there in the mix also).Let's see who gets a ring first...him or Cam. In the near future our whole cap mess will be over and we will finally see what our guy can do.Luck is good but top five....not.

We would have had Luck if his Daddy didn't step in and didn't want him playing for the Panthers...he would have been our guy.So the comparison may always be there between him and Cam.

Except that never happened. Luck's father has expressed great respect for Jerry Richardson.

I'd love to see this board become less fascinated with what analysts think about other team's quarterbacks.

Then what was all the noise about his father didn't want him to play here and decided his son would stay in school? Where did that all come from?

Butthurt fan speculation.

There was never any actual truth to it. Oliver Luck himself debunked speculation about it when a reporter asked. He even called Jerry Richardson directly to make sure he knew there was nothing to it.

If Cam was a bust, Nolan Nawrocki would be riding his prediction all the way to a prime-time gig at ESPN.  Articles that claim a second or third year QB is already among the league elite are really more about the author's placing an "I called it!" article out there than actually measuring accomplishments.  And Luck is probably going to be a top five QB at some point in the next several years.  Doesn't mean Cam won't, but it does explain why some of these pundits seem to be overly in love with him.  They just want to be able to say they were right years before anyone else.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
