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.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
