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.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.

      Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
