Put yourself in Lucks shoes.

[Squirrel]

You just won the Orange Bowl and are getting bombed with questions if you are staying or going.

You sit down with your parents on whether to stay or go.

Here are the things running through my head.

1. Your coach is probably gone. - Leave for NFL.

2. Right now if you go to the NFL you know you will be living in Charlotte NC

(This could be bad or good. On the plus side Small market city, Nice weather. Bad side Small Market city.) push

3. Panthers organization after doing research Luck will see that we have a decent owner that treats his players good. Will spend money when needed but will also not overspend. His dad will guide him on this and should give the Panthers are good mark. He will see that Richardson will do what needed to help Andrew succeed.

4. Coaching - This will be the big point. The Panthers need to get in place a coach so Andrew can see who would be coaching him before he commits. This is the reason I think we will have a quick hire at coach. incomplete.

5. Uncertainty of next years draft. Next year Luck will not have a option at which team he goes too. He could be drafted by the Raiders and do little about it. (besides demanding a trade). I dont think Luck would that. Favors entering the draft.

6. Money - non issue push

7. Finish degree - yes this will be factored but I think in the long run it wont be the determining factor.

8. Lifestyle change- If he wants to enjoy his last year of college then this will be a big factor. I think this will push his decision.

I really think he will come out. The Panthers are not in a bad shape and could be contending within 2 years. The oraganization as a whole is a good one and I think the riding factor will be who we hire as coach. Still think we will announce the new coach within a week and Luck will decide right before the deadline.

Competition: not only is the NFL a higher level of competition, the NFC South already has 3 good to great QB's. If he likes competition, that's a positive.

Luck: I want to stay in school.

Luck's Dad: $$$Boy, quit talking crazy!$$$

Oliver SMACKS his son upside his head.

[Real Emotional Trash]

I'm in Luck's shoes? I can play for the Panthers?

[Delhommey]

Money's not an issue on this decision.

Honestly, I think it's currently more likely that Luck returns to Stanford.

[Cavscout]

He's accomplished all he can at Stanford I think. If Harbaugh leaves..so does Luck

[Catalyst]

Anyone who thinks he doesn't want to play here should consider that Stanford wasn't a very attractive option when he decided to commit there. He could've gone anywhere he wanted, but chose Stanford who was coming off a 1 win season because he wanted to play for Harbaugh.

[VMIPanther]

Where does his family live? Doesn't dad work at WVA? Would that factor into his decision?

[g5jamz]

Andrew Luck would be THE man in Charlotte. In SF...maybe. Denver...maybe but they will have The Golden Calf of Bristol issues to work out.

[Stroupe-a-loop]

He's also said he really likes his lifestyle at Stanford. I don't know what that means, but maybe we need to plant a bunch of palm trees.

I'm in Luck's shoes? I can play for the Panthers?

Lol

1. all that muthafuging money.....thats game over....i mean just cause his family has money dont mean andrew luck has money

[Darth Biscuit]

For me the money alone would do it.

He's coming out.

Last nite after the game he got asked the question

reguarding his staying or leaving. As he stated the company line responce,

the camera honed in on his dad. His dad got a big smile on his face, said

something to the person beside him and they both started laughing. I just

thought it was a funny thing to do while your son was on the biggest stage

of his life........ and you laugh at his responce to a serious question about

his future.
