Oliver Luck: Panthers/CBA had nothing to do with Andrew's decision

Yeah right

If school is so important, heck Jimmy Claussen is enrolled in school this semester at Notre Dame. He could get his degree and be this years #1 pick. He wouldn't need to worry about being an Architect anyway until he retires from NFL.

Oliver Luck says the prospect of being drafted by the Panthers and the CBA had nothing to do with his son's decision to go back to Stanford.

I have no trouble believing that.

Look, all of us are all wrapped up in the Panthers. Luck isn't. He has no reason to be. For all we know, he may not know the first thing about the team, its owner or anything else.

It's not so hard to think he made this decision completely independent of anything having to do with this team.

I know there's an element of the fanbase that'll never believe that, but it's likely the truth.

Fug, it sucks for us but I respect a kid who values his education over an instant payday. Luck is a special breed, I only hope that we can have a chance at him next year because he really is a franchise QB....

Luck is a damn fool, Architects do not make much money, or get the respect everyone thinks. Even if he was to come out with his degree and be able to somehow find a job right now (architecture is currently post about a 50%+ unemployment rate in the charlotte area), he wouldnt make crap for the first 10 years. then he would have operate his own company to make any decent money.

he could sign that rookie contract an be set for life. he isnt going to practice architecture until he retires anyway. what a moron.

this coming from a fellow architect. I would send him my arch degree and seal for $50 mil.

The Luck family isn't exactly poor.

I think it's a bit presumptive to assume their thought processes are automatically the same as ours.

Other guys have made the same decision in the past. It's not that shocking. We're just heavily hit by it because we really wanted him to play here.

Would anyone expect him to come out and say, "hell no he didn't want to go to the panthers". Remember when Eli was booed at the draft for throwing a tantrum over getting drafted by the Chargers. You think Andrew's dad would hold him up for to be a target also. What else do you honestly expect him to say??

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
