What are the chances of Luck pulling an Elway?

I've looked at alot of other message boards, and we all know how they dream for Luck to say he doesn't want to play for the Panthers. With all the media bad-mouthing Richardson and saying he's cheap, what are the chances Luck pulls a diva move?

If he's 50/50 on going back to Stanford, or coming to the NFL, you don't pull that kind of move. He knows he's going to Carolina if he leaves Stanford, so if he makes the NFL decision, I think that says he wants to be in Carolina.

Also like other people said, he doesn't seem like a diva type of kid.

No chance.

I could see Elway possibly trying to convince him to do it if Denver were to land Harbaugh (which doesn't look likely) but even then Luck is a good kid with a good head on his shoulders and I don't think he'd go for it.

He'd be walking into a good situation here with a team that is right on the cusp of being a contender, and I just don't envision him pulling a stunt like that, no matter how much some of the talking heads down at ESPN wish he would so he can go to "a real team"

I don't see why he wouldn't want to come to Carolina. At Stanford he played in a run first pass second offensive philosophy. Yes our run game struggled this past year, but I think that had a lot to do with a decimated O-line, no D-Will, and mainly Jimmy Clausen. Clausen couldn't keep any defense honest so teams just stacked 8 men in the box repeatedly.

With a healthy run game, Luck's sexy play action passing will work to perfection.

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
