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

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers.
