Andrew Luck News & Updates

[bleys]

I'm willing to bet he'll be taking quite a few interviews..

[blackcatgrowl]

so in saying that, maybe luck isn't the "answer" as you say, but he could be one of several that add up to making a biiiiiig difference in the next panthers team to take the field.

Bah, if Andrew Luck or Cam Newton came in here, and we didn't upgrade our O-line, or shore up our D, then he'd have the same problems Clausen, Moore, and Delhomme had.

If either one of these young guys are more talented than any of the three QBs we've had in the past two years, we might see a couple more wins, but there's little difference between a 2-14 team and a 4-12.

Our Front Office and Ownership are responsible for this mess. We aren't going to change owners most likely, so we need to change the FO.

to call one of the top 5 most successful teams in the last decade mediocre is easily the dumbest thing ever written..

Sorry to bust your bubble, but unless you bring home a Championship trophy, you aren't successful. The reason they play is to go all the way and win it. That is THE defining result of being a NFL team.

I was listening to this and what Matt Williamson said is dead on with what many Panther fans are saying. He basically says that Luck is a must have because of 3 reasons

1)We have decent offense and with a good signal caller (good not mediocre) we can score points. We have a line, RB's, and some WRs. He even argues that we aren't the worst team right now and that were not that far from relevance. Again goes back to that we look awful because our offense can't stay on the field.

2)There is NO DEFENSIVE STUD to take at #1

3) If Luck isn't in the draft trading out of the first pick will be really, really difficult

In all we have to take Luck. He might not be Jesus but he is 100000000000x better then we have now.

Yep.

Who did Atlanta have to mentor Ryan? The Bucs Freeman? Who mentored Peyton? (I don't know the answers, just asking.)

Why was it a good idea to merge 75% of the board discussion into one thread? Who is actually going to read through all this?

But, then he threw in this interesting nugget - he said he knows some people out on the west coast with some "insider" info on Luck, and said that he really thinks he's gonna be the next big one at QB. He said his guys out there told him that Luck has pretty much changed the Stanford offense as the season has progressed. He said he heard that Luck calls many of his own plays on the field, and has actually created variations of existing plays because he's so intelligent/aware on the field and because his skill set has opened up plays further that they already had, or something like that. He also said that Harbaugh's offensive system is pretty extensive and that Luck has obviously mastered that from the stuff I just mentioned.

this is very consistent with the tings that have have read about the situation there.

it's one of the best QB and HC/OC type relationships that there is in football at any level. these guys are totally simpatico. they feed off each other much like payton and brees do. same with peyton and tom moore.

sure, it's college, but these guys start somewhere. the earlier they get their relationship going, the better imo. it can only help with luck's development.

None of the posts in the past ten threads will make sense now, brilliant idea.

Did you hear what he said at the 30:42 mark? I take that as meant to be!!!

It is what it is! LOL

Can we derail this thread to talk about how bad this thread is?
