First of all I miss Nannerpuss.

Second, you pretty much have to. Clausen is now legitimately not playing well so no way is he "the guy". I'd like to trade down but with the QB situation this murky you can't afford not to.

The only bad thing about this is all the Luck related puns.

I love puns but you know there are going to be too many for good taste.

Why would he not want to come here? Or perhaps I should rephrase: why would he want to go to Buffalo or Arizona or the Bengals any more than here? No team in position to take him will be very good and Charlotte is a great city to live in, a nice stadium, well respected owner, and besides, only Elway & Eli Manning have ever tried that stunt. Most rookies are happy enough being drafted into the NFL and to be paid like they are and don't act like jackasses about it.

I think our next coach will factor into it as well. If we go with an offensive guy like Schottenheimer Luck will likely feel more comfortable than with a defensive coach. I think it seals the deal if we hire Harbaugh, too, though that's looking more and more unlikely every day. Hell, if I were Jerry I'd hire him just to entice Luck to come out early.

Assuming Luck doesn't opt to stay in school due to the lockout.

I am not saying Clausen is the man, but he has improved. He is a mid-second round QB people are holding to top 15 standards. Luck will suck unless you fix the OL and possibly bring in a true #1 WR (+ Gettis, Lafell, Smith). So, are you putting the cart before the horse(s)? So, I ask myself if it is fair to blame Clausen when almost any young QB would struggle here.

Of course, we should be well below the cap, and can fix these problems in free agency.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
