Can the Carolina Panthers snare QB Andrew Luck?

With Harbaugh likely to come out, I can't imagine Luck staying for a new coach unless he really, really does not like the team picking first.

I think if the NFLPA and owners can't come to an agreement by the deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft (Mid January) , they will lean towards staying in school.

What makes Harbaugh likely to come out?

Letitia, you naughty, naughty girl- this isn't the draft forum.

The number of job offers he'll get, the rumors he has already told his players, suggest to me he's going to come out. It's not definite but I would be surprised if he didn't.

Plus he already interviewed for an NFL job previously (Jets).

That, to me, is the clearest evidence he's ready to jump.

also, the money he's getting with stanford isn't really something that would hold him back. i saw somewhere he's only getting $1.5mil for the remainder of his contract. he started off there with something like a $750k salary and moving up from there was a hard pill to swallow for stanford. that isn't exactly a football school or area, witnessed by the thousands of empty seats for a 5th place team in the NCAA.

money probably isn't the most important thing in the world to him, but regardless of how little you care about money you don't turn away a job offer that will get you an increase of at least $3-4mil a year.

It will be interesting to see if Luck would even want to be a Panther, I know I am personally biased, but what's wrong with joining a young team, in a relatively temperate climate, in a great area of the country, with huge success for how long the franchise has been around

Being his other choices are three historically aweful franchises... I would guess this would be his best choice. (Arizona, Cincinnati, Buffalo).

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
