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'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
