Yeah, but we've seen how well the national media knows JR... smh... Plus, Schefter has ties to the Denver organization, I'm sure he's dreaming of a Elway-Luck-Harbaugh Mount Rushmore in Denver.

Also, just 2 weeks ago he was saying on his chat that a Luck-Harbaugh reunion in Carolina could be possible IIRC, it seems he's backing off of that the more teams are throwing their hat in...

I'm really thinking JR might surprise people.... Everyone is saying JR wants the cheap coordinator or whatever.... They are making assumptions that I'm not sure are correct.

But what happens if Luck pulls a Eli Manning? We draft him, but he refuses to play if we dont trade him to Denver? Man i wih JR would do something and make sure this Kid wants to play here.

Doubt it.

People say stupid stuff like this every year and it's only happened twice.

Luck's got a good head and a good heart.

He'll play where he's drafted.

If he felt like he'd end up on a team he didn't want to play for, he wouldn't come out. (and btw, we weren't on his short list)

what short list? Of teams he didnt want to play for? Man I'm just so nervous right now....i guess im caught up in the hype of everybody saying Harbaugh and Luck are going to play together in the NFL. I'm on the edge of my seat right now and im hoping Luck comes out and plays for us. Ugh......

Everything I've heard about Luck would indicate a hold out such as that would be extremely unlikely.

Did Hurney or Richardson ever do anything to royally piss off Oliver Luck?

As others have said, if he didn't want to go to a specific team at the top, he wouldn't come out. It's his only bargaining power. And also, as was just mentioned, San Diego ended up with the better QB... Why?

Because San Diego held the leverage. Once you're drafted you can either play or holdout and sit a year and wait till become eligible again for another team, or as San Diego did, trade the player for a better one at the same position,lol.

Wouldn't bet on it.

But if it happens, you either make Denver pay a ridiculous price to get him or you tell him "play for us or don't play".

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?

      If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
