The Luck Hate Is Embarrassing....


C47

Recommended Posts

Come on guys, I've wanted Luck for two years now but to rip the kid for wanting to finish school is asinine. He's a rare breed of athlete, he has a great head on his shoulders and he's making the decision that he feels is best for him. Just let it rest and start thinking about where to go from here and stop cursing him. Who knows with Clausen starting we will probably be right back here next season except the kid will be getting his degree in a couple of months and declaring this time around....

Whoever hates on Luck is hating on Panthers fans too. After all, Luck probably didn't come out because he had a ton of problems with the Panther front office. Well, doesn't that sound like he would fit in posting on the Huddle just fine if that's the case? Blame Richardson and Hurney, not Luck. If I was a Texas/California kid with no ties to the Carolinas, I probably wouldn't want to come play here either. He just better hope Buffalo doesn't end up with the #1 pick next season.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I know I respect his decision.

However, that doesn't mean I think it was the right decision for him. Being the #1 pick as a QB in the NFL draft is much more rare in this life than getting a degree from Stanford. He's such a rare talent and the timing for him could not have been more perfect to come out right now. Yeah, he's always going be financially secure regardless and if he truly is the best prospect in a long time he'll still go #1 next year no problem. But it's an opportunity I never would've turned down.

Plenty of great CEOs and founders of companies or actors/actresses, etc were in college when they developed their company or started making lots of money doing something they loved and they dropped out to let that business and/or their career flourish. You don't just don't pass down on a job to be a starting QB in the NFL and 50 million guaranteed. I mean is he actually ever gonna be an architect? Hell no!! If he wants the degree he could easily get it after his career. I truly don't think he's going back for the degree. I think he's going back because he wants one more year to be a kid because he enjoys the college life and playing with his college teammates and his sister also goes there and everything. Plus he has no pressure on him right now in his life. That is something I respect and all, but it's not the smart decision IMO.

We all have to get over it though.

I'm annoyed at Luck, sure, but oh well. It's personal because I wanted him to be a Panther. I don't really hold it against him. I don't think he's stupid, even if I think he made the wrong decision by my own selfish standards. I don't think he hates this organization.

A new coach could change everything for us in a way none of us can predict.

It doesn't take a "once in a generation" talent to become a franchise qb and reignite fans. We'll see what draft night brings.

    • Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now
    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
