I think Luck will ultimately declare. I think he knew last night, after the Orange Bowl. That's why he wanted to just enjoy the moment.

But, I think that Carolina should try and get a coach in here before the 15th, or atleast have an almost definitive candidate, because Luck may stay in if there's no one set in stone.

I just hope that, one way or another, we are able to get a coach(whether it be as a coordinator, assistant, whatever) who can work with QB's.

Ron Rivera as head coach + Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator would be fantastic. Too bad it'll never happen lol.

I just don't see how Luck can gain anything "Football wise" if he stays. I'm not talking about money or even if Harbaugh stays. They are going to lose a big portion of thier roster next year and will probably not have the same success they had this year.

He and Harbaugh both need to strike now. Everybody is drooling over both these guys.

We've heard from Luck that Harbaugh's decision will impact his, implying that he will wait to hear what Harbaugh decides (or they decide together). I can't imagine Luck making a decision without having some degree of confidence in what Harbaugh is going to do. Ergo, I see them making a decision at essentially the same time. Schefter has reported that Harbaugh will decide by the end of this week. If we believe this, then I see no reason why we should have to wait beyond Monday (the 10th) at the latest for a decision to be announced by Luck.

I still think its a ridiculous decision if he stays with a looming reduction in wages. Espn is doing everything possible to not mention us as a possible destination for a great QB. Hopefully he buys into Richardson as a great owner and hopefully JR doesn't screw a coaching search that could lock him up...we gotta get a respectable coach.

I swear. This is going to be the biggest letdown in the history of my life if Luck does not declare. I will cry in a corner for a month................

I have always liked the Colts and enjoyed seeing Manning play. Always thought.."man would be nice for the panthers to have someone like that"....but always knew it would be very unlikely. Now we have the chance. Please Luck!!!!!!!!!

He said that he was going to sit down and list the pros and cons. Hell, we can do that for him (feel free to enhance this list):

PRO Going PRO: Money Set for life), #1 draft pick lock (Stock will never be higher) , Carolina is not major market, Harbaugh to leave, Many seniors graduating at Stanford (Team will not be very good next year), Closer to parents

CONS: Want degree, Love college experience, Gain more experience for next level, will win Heisman, Money will be there next year.

I see an 80% chance he comes out.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
