A different (promise) poll on Luck that...

...I hate to create a new thread for, I but really want to know where everyone stands on this.

How many of you guys have watched him play this year (or the last 2) and know the hype that he brings with him?

I can no way say I know the truth behind the hype, because I have only seen him play twice (this year against Oregon and USC). Obviously there are highlights, but I am wondering how many people are convinced on Luck based on your own "scouting report".

It is so easy to read the hoopla and show your bias toward him, and I personally think he is the real deal.

To play devils advocate though, most of us knew what Peppers (another name I hate to bring up) was capable of before we drafted him, because he was in our backyard, and we all watched him. Whereas Carr and Harrington were 3000 miles away, and I at least saw their stock go up on hype rather than what I saw every Saturday.

I live in Cali & have seen him play about 6 games if I recall correctly. He reminds me of Steve Young, who I grew up watching. I think he will be at least as good as Aaron Rodgers. Just my opinion.

:) I really hope more people (like you) are familiar with him. I know hype is great, but I want to know who has been following him since that hype grew.

There was a game this year, I can't remember which, I was watching & he audibled like crazy about 4 or 5 times on a drive & picked apart the defense like nothing. I was like wow only QBs on Sundays do it that precise. That was like in October I think when the hype was just starting to really snowball. I can say that's when I really took notice of how intelligent he was.

i don't watch college football, but when i saw his name start to be tossed around i watched videos of him.

not highlight packages, but actual game videos. there are lots of them on youtube where they show every play he made during a game.

what i saw was that most of his completions (and there were a LOT of incompletions) came to wide open receivers. not much tight coverage or perfectly threaded throws. he's not going to see many wide open receivers in the NFL, so it makes me trepidatious.

There was actually a thread in this forum for a while that got bumped every time Stanford played.

But JOAT shipped it off to the College forum because Harbaugh/Luck wasn't Panther relevant. :(

We tried.

I've watched every video of him available on YouTube and read every article I can find about him. I've not seen him play, but I don't really watch college football anyway. If NFL scouts who do this for a living say he's the best prospect in a decade and it's pretty much consensus, then I believe them and say we have to pick him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
