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.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
