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.

      Give Legette another season?

      The coaches can't figure out what to do with BY9 much less Leggette

      Give Legette another season?

      By frankw · Posted

      There is a lot of talk about his IQ and his commitment to the game and this and that and no one can firmly say one way or another unless they are with him day to day. Not to mention the standards don't jive with the presented reasoning for defending Bryce Young’s rookie season and subsequent beginning of his sophomore season and third season to where we are now 40+ games as he is finally beginning to string together better QB play. When I think of Legette present day I think back to Ted Ginn being a pretty significant bust with the Dolphins as a 9th overall pick and then coming to Carolina (twice) and still struggling with the same mental errors on the field and Cam Newton going back to him again and again and again and even going to a Super Bowl with him as the #1 WR. Deactivating him is weak. Figure something out to his strengths for the rest of the season and reassess in the offseason.

      No MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TWO WEEKS FROM NOW.... this season is a WIN in my books

      I think the season has been a success.  I try to look back at what I said would be a successful season before week 1 and we have reached that.  The success though has you wanting more haha.  But we've had improvements and are right there fighting.  Bryce has improved which was a big thing we needed.  Hope we improves more obviously.  But I agree with others about Evero, unless we have an offense putting up 30 points a game I don't like this type of defense he has.  No pressure either.  The biggest issues I see with this team are, zero pressure on the QB, soft zones, and the horrible special teams play on kickoffs/return coverage.  So I wouldn't mind replacing Evero if someone better is available and definitely get someone new running special teams.  When you combine Evero's defense and the fact we allow teams such good field position often it's a bad match.  Overall, we have won 8 games which is crazy.
