The Irony Of "luck"

So I'm sitting here watching Sports Center and on the eve of the draft spent some time reflecting on lat year, and this is what I came up with...

We'll never really know why Luck stayed at Stanford last year. We could speculate that he wanted to finish school (I don't believe this theory) or that he simply didn't want to play for the 2-14 Carolina Panthers (my theory)

Which brings me to my whole point, and I find it pretty ironic and funny.

Had Luck come out last year, he would have been in great shape, with several weapons at his disposal.

Now though, he's going to a Colts team that just got absolutely gutted! I mean they have Wayne and that's about it.

I just thought that it was pretty ironic, and I'm glad he stayed In school, after all, we have Cam. I'm really glad it worked out the way it did... I just wonder ifLuck could do it over again, I bet he would.

He must have had something against NC or something because I never understood not wanting to play for a bad team. If you are the #1 pick, you are going to end up on a team that needs work.

This is why I believe he chose to stay in school to graduate rather than because he didn't want to be a panther. I mean he had to know he was going into a bad situation and a good chance one worse thane ours considering he could've been a team that is always picking in the top 5 like cleveland. That and the fact that he went to Stanford when he could've played college ball anywhere makes me think he cared about graduating

Or maybe - and I know this is a way out theory - he just wanted to stay in school and finish his degree like he actually said he wanted to do, like he had previously promised his father he would, and like loads of NFL prospects do on an annual basis (take this guy named Manning, for example).

Yeah, I know that's a real stretch of the imagination, but hey, ya never know :unsure:

oh yeah well if he really liked stanford he woulda stayed there this year, too!! clearly he just hates us, so we should seriously consider just you know following him every once in a while and keeping a close eye on him, and maybe send him weird text messages late at night to let him know we dont really love him anymore

      ESPN showing some love on out draft class!!

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from.

      Morgan & Canales

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
