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).

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
