Draft analyst still would take QB Luck over Newton

Even after Cam Newton's record-setting rookie season, NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock says he'd still take Andrew Luck over the Panthers' quarterback if the two were in the same draft.

During a conference call with reporters Wednesday, Mayock initially balked at comparing Luck to the last three No. 1 picks - Newton, Sam Bradford and Matthew Stafford - and to Matt Ryan, who went third overall in 2008.

Mayock then said Luck is close to Peyton Manning in terms of ability, adding he would draft Luck over the player who broke Manning's rookie passing record.

"I would probably take him over Cam, yeah," Mayock said.

I'd like luck to be decent but not as good as Cam. But obviously that's the case since Cam is the QB for the Panthers, I want him to be better than every other QB in the NFL (Tied with Rivers since I'm a State fan :p).

Once Luck is in the league for a while this hype will stop and he will just be judged on his performance, like any other QB. He's not The Golden Calf of Bristol.

Would be cool to see though, 4 straight first overall picks be quarterbacks and none of them bust, in a position that has its share of historical first overall pick busts.

This is just insane. The guy has not won more (national titles, heisman tropies) and did not play against better competition. He did however play with more nfl first round talent on his team. Why he would have better intangibles than a guy that won 3 national titles in 3 years with 3 different teams I have no idea. He did not have better stats. He's not bigger, stronger, faster, nor does he have a better arm. He preferred to play with amateurs rather than play with the best, despite losing his coach.

:cam: manned up and played against the best the world has to offer and despite a limited off season was the best rookie in nfl history. There is ZERO logic to this debate whatsoever!!!:beatdeadhorse5:

I don't wish failure on anybody but damn if I don't want him to kind of suck so all these media guys can shut up and eat crow. And from what I can tell its not his fault its the media guys hyping him up but it just annoys the crap out if me.

I guess you haven't paid much attention to how arrogant those in the media really are. Even if Luck turns out to be another Jimmy Clausen, they will blame it on everyone on the team before they will admit that Luck isn't the second coming of Peyton, Brees, Aaron rodger, and Tom Brady all rolled up into his body.

Luck will develope but he can't move in the pocket like can did his first year. IMO he will be the next Eli Manning.[/QUOTE]

No he won't. Bite your tongue. Eli has don't more with his inconsistancies in his 8 years as a Giant than even his brother has done with his.

Those who are hyping Luck can't even say what makes him better than RGIII except that he came from a Pro-ready offense.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
