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.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
