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

[CatMan72]

Here's a link to a blog just posted by Scott Fowler where 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:

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.

Luck has said on several occasions that he wants to stay all 4 years in college and earn his degree before leaving long before he knew who would have the # 1 pick in the draft this year.

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.

Then everything should be all good when the Panthers get the number one pick next year. At least we all can rest easy now that we know that Andrew Luck does not hate us...

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....

So what, he could still have his degree within a couple years. Just take Spring Classes in off-season.

Idiot

Who f*cking cares...

That may have not been the biggest part of the decision, but you are fooling yourself if you don't think he and his family looked into the Panthers and the CBA.

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.

[Mr. Scot]

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??
