For those who are worried about Luck not declaring....

[don7192]

Exactly. He can do like Steve Young did and finish his degree AFTER he is in the NFL. Anyone can finish a degree at anytime, there are 60 year olds going back to law and medical school. This is the last chance to get the rookie money he would get.

If they have a new CBA agreement this year there will be no big rookie money. The last chance for that was last year.

because maybe, just maybe, he loves the college life and really loves whatever hes majoring in more than football? luck is smart and down to earth enough to know that money cant buy happiness

Actually, if he is smart he will declare before he gets injured or somehow else ruins his value in the NFL.

Are you guys really defending:

Playing in the NFL making millions of dollars

vs.

Staying in college and playing college football

[DaCityKats]

you go to college to get a better job.consider yourself lucky if that is the nfl, and when that door opens you take advantage.

[Wither]

I also want to add that only people without money are the ones who are using "money can't buy happiness" (and no, it can't, but that is irrelevant here) as the argument to why Luck will stay in school.

Don't be delusional.

If he really enjoys playing with his teammates and wants to play his last year with them, does that make him stupid for staying?

Don't forget the BUST factor. Coming out early increases it. However, the bottom line is Harbaugh. He leaves, and Luck leaves. Luck is probably including Harbaugh when he says, "Family."

Meh - we're going to lose sleep over whether anyone we pick at one overall will be a bust. Seems like a smaller chance with Luck regardless.

I am inclined to agree that he won't stay if Harbaugh leaves...but I thought we all basically took that as a given.

A lot of his current teammates will be graduating and / or leaving for the draft.

If Luck stays in college, it'll be for Harbaugh and for academics and for college life more than it'll be for loyalty to his team mates, I think.

We'll know very soon what's up. I would not be surprised if Harbaugh was out of Stanford before Luck's decision was made...

and if Luck does announce his decision before Harbaugh, you can virtually guarantee Harbaugh is gone too.

[SorthNarolina]

Luck was raised rich and he'll be a 1st rounder easy next year probably still the #1. Money probably doesn't matter that much to him.

The articles are getting ridiculous Luck sounds like the greatest prospect in the history of the planet. It's driving me nuts.

[Chaos]

Can you call a player a bust if he joins a bad team and doesn't light it up immediately? Not a Clausen defense because I don't have faith in him. But there will certainly need to be a veteran QB on this team to help Luck along the way should we pick him. If you draft a player of his caliber, then you make additional investments to make sure not to fug it up.

Per ESPN Denver has brought in John Elway and his 1st order of business is to talk with Jim Harbaugh from Stanford. I would have started a new thread, but I dont have enough messages to do so.
