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.

      Turk Wharton Neck Surgery

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It wasn't a his sack production, it was about his skill set, build, and scheme fit. He's a six foot tall 280 pound DT. He's best used as an interior pass rushing specialist. He can't play the nose in a 3-4 and he doesn't have the length or burst to play he end either. He just wasn't a scheme fit. He'd be a good roster piece as a rotational pass rushing specialist DT to bring in on passing downs in an even defensive front. But you can't hand out a 3 year/$45M contract for that either. Tha type of contract means you have to try to find starter snap numbers for him and that's a problem in a 3-4 front. Hell, it's a problem in a 4-3 front too. That's why the Chiefs were willing to let him walk.

      Quite a few people argued we way overpaid high end starter money for a guy that was basically a capable backup at best. It was a bad move facilitated by a need to save face after missing out on Williams. It is what it is man. We aren't being paid to carry Dan Morgan's water. It'll be alright.

      Who else at DT was available coming off a 6.5 sack season, that was relatively affordable?  We took the Milton Williams money and added Turk AND Bobby Brown III. You can't predict soft tissue, and surgery in this case. Part of the business.
