Poll: Should Panthers take Luck in NFL draft?

[Catalyst]

Exactly, which is why Luck will be the pick if he comes out. No coach is going to want to pass on this guy. The pick ultimately comes down to Hurney & J.R. but I think they're both smart enough to know what this guy could do to our franchise if he pans out.

[Dpantherman]

damnit who keeps asking this dumb question. Laetitia is a dirty slut!!!

Assuming Luck doesn't opt to stay in school due to the lockout.

I am not saying Clausen is the man, but he has improved. He is a mid-second round QB people are holding to top 15 standards. Luck will suck unless you fix the OL and possibly bring in a true #1 WR (+ Gettis, Lafell, Smith). So, are you putting the cart before the horse(s)? So, I ask myself if it is fair to blame Clausen when almost any young QB would struggle here.

Of course, we should be well below the cap, and can fix these problems in free agency.

I think we will address these issues as well. Bring in a solid starting right guard and some veteran OL depth to stabilize the line and get a solid veteran WR to help Smith out and mentor the young guys.

The NFC South has become a division of quarterbacks. Panthers need to get with it.

[rayzor]

if luck comes out, we draft him. if not then we draft newton.

[rayzor]

Do you really think one player will make a poot? With the same tired ol coaching stall, and same out dated game plans and play book?

yes and we won't have the same ol' tired coaching (unless the hire is grimm or some lame ol' coach like that). new game plans and playbook.

[Ricky Spanish]

realistically speaking, i think option three is the right choice. having said that, I'm a luck slurper, so I voted to draft him.

With all due respect to a fellow member who also has a low post count which on this board equals our opinions mean exactly poo..I disagree 100%

You ask why wouldn't he not want to come here...but i have to ask...what do we have to offer him? Why would he want to come here? other than the fact he might be forced to come here..if you were the hot QB of the draft...would you be excited to come to a team that.....

1. A run-first team which means pretty much no great stats for him

2. Likely a new coaching staff that may, or may not be to his liking/skill set

3. Very few reliable receivers to throw to

4. Based on this year and the fact that we have had 2 starting QB out with concussions...obviously cant protect the QB

5. No veteran QB to apprentice under/learn from.... like the last hot QB from the draft Tibow (who notably has been sitting on the bench all season which = no immediate impact for all of the Luck nut lickers out there)

6. A playbook that reads like a middle school football team in regards to complexity

Frankly I hope (like always) we win a few more games so folks will stop drooling on Luck as if he will be the savior of this franchise.

Charlotte is a great city to live in? Maybe in comparison to Phoenix you may be right but compared to Cinci or Buffolo...well..Charlotte might be cool if he likes hanging out with fat ass rednecks and ditsy ass country girls,or other hot women who are transplants from other areas.......however considering he is from the west coast..I highly doubt Charlotte is at the top of his list of places he would like to live (regardless of the team he plays for)

QUOTE=Second City Panther;2827995]Why would he not want to come here? Or perhaps I should rephrase: why would he want to go to Buffalo or Arizona or the Bengals any more than here? No team in position to take him will be very good and Charlotte is a great city to live in, a nice stadium, well respected owner, and besides, only Elway & Eli Manning have ever tried that stunt. Most rookies are happy enough being drafted into the NFL and to be paid like they are and don't act like jackasses about it.

I think our next coach will factor into it as well. If we go with an offensive guy like Schottenheimer Luck will likely feel more comfortable than with a defensive coach. I think it seals the deal if we hire Harbaugh, too, though that's looking more and more unlikely every day. Hell, if I were Jerry I'd hire him just to entice Luck to come out early.

This is true but yet we are stacked to the grill with RB talent...yet our passing talent...whether that be QB or WR is still yet unproven.

Any new coach that comes in must surely realize this and scheme to the strength for what he inherits..which as of next year will be a team with solid depth at RB with perhaps yet another rookie QB and some 2nd year receivers.

We are a run first team under Fox. Fox is gone. We have no clue what we will be doing on offense or defense in the future.

again, new coach would address the vet QB issue.

new coach, new playbook.

[Catalyst]

There are much worse things for a young QB than a strong running game. And you also have to realize that any team picking at the top of the draft is going to have issues like the ones you described. You have to compare us to the other teams. Compared to Buffalo our OL is great; at least we have talent there, even if it's under-performed and injured right now. Same goes for Arizona and the Bengals.

Now, I'm sure he'd prefer to go to the Vikings, but they won't sniff Luck this year or next without trading some major picks to move up, which is just as likely to not happen this year as next.

[Dpantherman]

Luck is going #1 overall. If we have the #1 pick, we take him. End of story. If you don't understand that, the oh well. Talk to ANY person that covers the NFL for a living, or works w/ in or around it, you will hear the exact same thing. I don't understand why thats so hard to grasp.

[Dpantherman]

SHOULD we take him....different question. I say yes, but its a matter of opinion.

[DaCityKats]

i would stop supporting the panthers if we get the 1st pick and pass on luck. so therefore we have to take him.
