What if Luck came out?

I got to ask this question, even though there are people who are tired of talking about Luck. Yet, if Luck came out, would DeAngelo Williams been talking about possibly leaving? Would Steve Smith been content to finish his career as a Panther? (And these are still rumors that he wants to be traded)

don't think it would have mattered TBH

Smith is probably going to go to a team with an established QB while he still has some time left in his legs. I don't think he was going to wait around for another rookie QB to develop(yes, Luck wasn't going to come in here and throw 30 TD's).

As for DWill.. in my opinion, the biggest thing is money. this could likely be the last long term contract of his career, so I never saw him taking a hometown discount to stay. regardless of who our QB is/who it could have been, I think as long as the money was good he would stay.

D-Will did go on record and say the QB situation did play a factor on if he would stay here or not. I think with Luck, the sheer excitement in seeing what he could do would be enough for anyone to want and stick around.

Mad that if Luck declared Newton's name would be nonexistent in the discussion for #1 overall? ;)

Are you kidding?? If you think I am on Newton's jock I like Luck even more.

But I am also not ready to declare him a God in a football helmet either. He isn't the greatest prospect ever.

agreed, but he was 1000% better than any QB prospect in this draft

I think D-Will and Smitty would be staying. Not because it was Luck but because we would be addressing our QB situation. Right now no one knows what we are doing but if Luck was going to be available there would be no discussion.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
