ESPN does not want Luck in Carolina

I am getting a little sick of ESPN covering every possible scenario involving the #1 pick except Luck going to Carolina.

First, last night, the announcers kept making comments that he should return to school. Did not mention the Cats once.

Then today, Mortenson suggested that Carolina will stick with second round pick Clausen and trade the pick-- it will create a bidding war like no other.

Then they discussed that Denver will pull a Manning/Elway to get him by hiring Harbaugh.

Are they suggesting a Lebraun-type conspiracy? A plan to extort a player by creating a behind-the-scenes network designed to beat the system? The fact that they thought this and said it out loud on National TV is cheap and shows what slimeballs and scum ESPN hires. Why not cover the most probable scenario, which is Luck going to Carolina because the Panthers have a need at QB? Shallow sleeze balls. Just want to plant seeds and corrupt the sport that they feed on. If ESPN was ethical at all, they would fire these scuzzy bastards. Pricks.

It's because we most likely won't have the personnel to challenge Luck to be the greatest. Harbaugh is one of those guys that can do so, yet all sources keep saying Carolina isn't interested in Harbaugh. Plus, we are a small market team. What is there to get excited about in Carolina? (This is their thinking.)

actually ESPN does want andrew luck in Carolina because it would create an outlet through which it could reach an up until that point apathetic fan base.

NFL interest in down in the Carolinas and ESPN loses ad revenue through television and radio advertising.

Bringing in Luck would increase it.

there is no reason for them to want luck to land in an already large, established market.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
