Andrew Luck News & Updates

neg rep me if this is a dumb question, but lets say there is a lockout next year and luck does choose to come out, wouldnt he be able to finish school during the lockout and have a big ass contract?

Is anyone else a little worried with just how high the praise is for Luck? Seems too good to be true. :(

I imagine Luck could go back to school if there was a lockout, Rudie.

i've said this a million times (take or give a few hundred thousand)....there is zero incentive for luck to stay if there is a lockout.

if he goes back to school as opposed to declaring for the draft, he increases his chances of falling in the draft because of poor performance/stats or injury. that is a HUGE risk.

the draft is going to happen in 2011 regardless of what happens with the CBA. if he declares, he's going to get drafted. there is no doubt of that. he is going to get drafted incredibly early...there is also no doubt about that. it's harder to become even hotter a prospect than he is right now. when you are lractically a lock for the #1 overall pick, you don't wait around hoping you can go higher later, ther is nothing higher.

so what if he doesn't get paid right away? he's still going to be getting paid as the #1 pick anyway. it may be a few months later....but contracts for #1 overall usually don't get locked up until training camp starts anyway. there would be lots of time to get it all squared away.

if he decides to stay, what does he have to gain? education can come at anytime. if there is no football, he can still finish school and have been drafted. he just wouldn't be able to play football for stanford.

You can make an argument for Cam Newton, but Mallett? Come on :nonod:

Of course, if you're going to go online with football opinions, it'd help if you actually talked about something that made sense as opposed to saying he's not a franchise QB because "he just isn't", calling him a dork, spouting ESPN conspiracy theories and talking like a third grader :lol:

Pretty sure nobody in the NFL consults ESPN about who they ought to draft.

(except maybe Bill Tobin)

Yea that video was stupid.

Ok guys let's not draft Luck because some fat youtube guy kept saying "Luck no, just no" over and over again.

If we end up with the 2nd overall instead of first, then we can consider Newton.

No one considering the possibility that the Bengals could choose Newton instead?

Style-wise, Luck is essentially a better version of Palmer. If they really wanted to go in a different direction, why not go for Newton?

I suppose they could, and I would hope in that situation that they would, for our sake.

stylistically that wouldn't be a bad fit, actually. depends on who their next coach is, obviously.

palmer is due $50mil over the next 4 years. they could cut him after their last game and not have it effect their cap whenever the new one kicks in (assuming it's soon), but that still means that he would be getting paid $50mil to not play...i suppose. i'm not sure how much of that money is guaranteed. at any rate, the same situation that made it possible for JR/hurney to cut so many vets will still allow mike brown to cut plamer without penalty.
