News is news. Better to know beforehand so there aren't too many mass suicides in charlotte.

CMPD better have extra officers working on draft day. I feel if we dont pick Luck there will be mass riots in the streets......

If we passed on luck if he came out and drafted A.J. Green or another top prospect as our first pick?

Listening to Sirius NFL Blitz Yesterday Pat Kirwin said that from what he "hears" the front office is more inclined to stick with Jimmy Clausen and build a team around him.

He also said when asked by an Arizona Cardinals fan if they have a chance at taking Luck if he comes out that they would have to make a big splash to trade up to that pick but with how Jerry Richardson has been spending this year that he feels he would pass on paying Andrew Luck as the first round pick.

So take that with a grain of salt.

I will say life is too short to keep putting up with a moron's bull poo. If he thinks Clausen is the answer and passes on Luck or trades down, I am done.

I have coached QB's and I am telling you, this kid sucks ass and will NEVER get us where we want to go.

[Miaoww]

You've coached QBs that played at ND?

As for the thread. I'd be very annoyed if we passed on Luck. Not because I want him (I don't think he's all that), but because we could obtain a lot of valuable picks from someone willing to trade up for him.

We need help on the lines more than we need a QB.

Pat is just saying that because he doesn't know a damn thing. He's going by what JR did this past off season. Jimmy is not going to be given the keys, it will be open competition with whoever is here, Luck or no Luck.

1. JR has NEVER been cheap. NEVER until this season. He is a highly respect owner among his peers, and he was setting an example this season for the new CBA. JR offered to make Julius Peppers the highest paid player in the league ater a 2.5 sack season, remember? JR wants to win as much as we do. He knows what it takes to win, and if Luck comes out, I'm pretty sure we take him.

2. New coach + #1 pick, often means a new QB. The coach will want his own guy under center learning his own system. If Luck is there, he will take him.

3. Mary Hurnery scares me to death, but I'm sure he knows how to secure his job. Drafting Luck. If he grabs the best QB prospect of the decade, he can almost guarantee himself to keep his job. For him to pass on a franchise QB would make his time here very short lived. I know it, you know it, and I'm pretty sure he knows it.

4. The only thing that now stands in our way is this: Does Luck declare? I think he will. Not because I'm ignorant to the bias interviews of the Stanford coaching staff (hoping he stays). But because Luck knows his draft stock will NEVER get higher than it is now. And if a Rookie Salary cap comes into place anytime soon, he will need to get out ASAP. I understand he looks up to coach Harbaugh. In all honesty I think Harbaugh will come out and coach, but is making contract moves around Stanford to better position himself for a nice pay on whatever NFL team he joins. Harbaugh won't pass on the chance to enter the NFL and draft his own QB at #1. That scenario happens once a century: To be able to coach an NFL team with the #1 pick, in which you grab your own QB.

Panthers fans, be a little more optimistic, there are stupid people out there, but they aren't that stupid.

I hope that you are right about #4. I tend to believe that there are some that are that stupid. Some are just too educated for their own good.
