Sources: Panthers to pick Andrew Luck

[C47]

He's worthy of the pick, certainly, but we have too much to fix and an impatient fanbase. The question is can he win immediately? The odds say no. Who knows though, an offensive-minded coach could potentially speed his progress. It's a matter of free agency and we still have the same FO. Unless they change course, I'm sticking to my guns. If Hurney miraculously plugs a few holes with decent FAs, I'll be more open to drafting Luck.

Oh lord here we go again.....we need a guard, a DT or two, a #2 CB and a legit QB.....all of those except for QB can be addressed in FA. ....go root for another team or go back to basketball......

I wondered over to the Saints forums earlier. They're scared to death and praying that Luck doesn't declare or we trade away the pick.

I be trollin' over there, but they banned me.

How many franchise, 10yr plus QB's were addressed by an NFL team via Free Agency????? I cant think of one! Most free agency QB pick ups are stop gap guys that maybe give you a great year or two.

Franchise QB's come via the draft!!!

As a Charger fan and 53 year NC resident...I come in peace and offer words of wisdom. I'd love to see the Carolina Panthers have a good football team!

I know some of Jerry Richardson's kinfolk in Nash County, NC. I know where he came from, how hard his dad worked to make it for his family and about him turning $9000 of NFL money into Hardee's million$. I respect his decisions.

I also employ him to look into getting Andrew Luck (to come out as a junior) and to get his coach, Jim Harbaugh as the head coach of the Panthers. You don't get this opportunity many times in a lifetime of owning a football team. I think it's a move that could make great Panther football for 12+ years. The Stanford Cardinals are a well coached team in many areas; I'd certainly want much of that staff as the staff of the Panthers. Most have NFL experience. I've watched Standford 4 times this year....that's not just a team of a very good QB and head coach.

Personally, in my opinion, making this move would be Jerry Richardson's best since he bought into his first Hardee's franchise, way, way back in the day. It may even be better! This chance will never come Jerry Richardson's way again! It may for the Panthers....if they last? Take it Jerry...coming from a neighboring Franklin County guy. I think the Luck/Harbough combo would be great for Charlotte, NC and surrounding area.

Indeed, here we go again. I, like you, thought we were ONLY a couple of players away and sadly that notion is wrong. If Richardson tells Hurney to stay out of the FA market, we get Luck, a 3rd through 7th round picks. MAYBE we get one starter out of that. So Luck and one, maybe two more rookies will turn this team around?

Here are our needs: QB, OG, DT, DT, OLB, CB and those are just the starters. Another OT, OG, S and LB would be nice to have in reserve, quality reserves.

They're idiots. If Luck would've been the QB this year, we would've won at least 5+ more games. Imagine Gettis and Lafell with Luck next year... AND if Smitty comes back, wow...

We're not as far off as they think. I literally think that's the piece we need to make us a consistent winner, everything else can be addressed as we go. DT is a close second.

lol you really believe that?

Why do we need a LB, we have an abundance of them....do you even watch this team....

Warner, yes he went to NYG and then Arizona but he was that. Brees will be that.

Andrew Luck also needs to think about the risk of staying in school and who will have the #1 pick in 2012. It could be us, and it VERY well could be Buffalo or the Raiders. Who in the Hell would pick that over Carolina?

Uhh did you even read my post....

I thought I did... i read and took what you said as we can address the QB positions via free agency just as we can all the other positions fans are saying we can address via free agency.

If I miss understood what you said then I am sorry.

Yep, longer than you think. So quanity means quality apparently. You want James Anderson STARTING again?
