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.

    • How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.
    • I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.      
    • Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
