he said he isn't making a decision now or at least isn't answering that question now. patrick kept trying to corner him and he kept dancing around it.

if he was for sure staying...he would have said it.

he is either going pro or seriously considering it. i'm more leaning towards him going pro from what little i heard and have been hearing.

just looked up the last little bit on the DirecTV channel 101 or whatever it is... They televise it there... Caught the end of it.

Basically:

Luck said he thinks a playoff would be better for CFB instead of BCS

Dan tried to pin him down with a "more likely to go to the NFL after this season, you or your coach?"

Sounded like the first time Luck really stammered...

He said that was a good question, he didn't know how to answer it. You could tell he was caught off guard (although you'd expect he would've expected it, lol)

He tried to sidestep it and then Dan said something like, "I'll chase you down"

Then Luck said, if you do I still wouldn't have an answer...

I was surprised with Dan's response as he said, "I think both you and your coach are gone, and you don't want to be like Jake Locker, who everyone loved last year, then he came back and now he's having a horrible year"

Luck said "that's a good point. I'll have to consider that whenever I get to that decision"

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Oh, now we are "top half?" Keep moving the goal posts. No we aren't. We don't have a surefire WR2, nor do we have a TE that we can count on to consistently make big plays. Our receiving corps is somewhat bland to be honest. It does not have enough juice. Add another playmaker, then we'll likely be top half. Our receiving corps ranked somewhere between 20 and 25 in the league depending upon who you look at. No one has us in the top half based upon last season.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is hard to say--if you look back at our roster from 4 years ago...In addition, we have a ton of money going into our OL right now (which might strengthen the argument to draft a tackle now)  The average NFL career is under 4 years, but the average NFL career for first rounders is 9.3 years, so most get 2 contracts.   So having said that, I look at it as capital--if your concern (legit) becomes an issue, then you should have the same vision and trade that player and draft his replacement.  However, TMAC, Coker, and a rookie is not likely to be a problem for another 4 years--2030.   But to your point, we have a situation right now that the OL has 2 guards and a RT around or over 30.  The make about $70m per year.   I like the perspective of reality you bring, however.  Is that a factor to morgan in 2026?

      I have no problem drafting a WR, even as high as the 2nd, but I do have an issue with using a precious 1st rounder on it. Another WR is a need, but we also have a lot of other needs, and the goal should always be to draft 1st rounders that you expect to be on the team for 10 years if they stay healthy. In regards to Coker, one of two things happen.  He keeps getting better and becomes our legit #2 to T-Mac and we have to pay him accordingly, or he doesn’t. If he does, then using that 1st rounder on a WR this year was dumb.  If he doesn’t, then drafting a WR in the 1st this year would be smart, but then so would trading Coker when his perceived value would be at its highest. If we were already had a SB contending roster, then yes, a 1st Round WR to put us over the top makes sense, but we just have too many holes to fill to use it that way… again, unless the staff just doesn’t believe in Coker’s ability to become a true #2, which I think he really can be.
