Andrew Luck News & Updates

[Actionman0z]

getting a job in the NFL and having a long career >> any bowl game or award. he only puts his future at unnecessary risk by opting not to go into the draft, esp. when he is pretty much assured a #1 (or at least a top 3-5) overall pick.

Agree. Locker sets the table for Luck to come out this year. He has nothing to lose by coming out, especially if harbaugh leaves. As one goes the other does as well, it just so happens that if we play our cards right, and Harbaugh and Luck are something that we are looking for, chances are they could both be here.

I'd bet Luck's decision is already made one way or the other. If he declares for the draft now it could be a distraction for the team trying to get ready for the bowl game. On the other hand, if he's coming back, he might want to do the big announcement after the season in front of the fans, a la The Golden Calf of Bristol. Either way, I think he knows what he's gonna do. As for Harbaugh, I could see him waiting until January, evaluating his offers from the NFL and other schools and making a decision then, after all, he doesn't know what jobs might open up or what offers might be made.

[Actionman0z]

Either way they are both going to wait until after their bowl games have concluded. Expect the Panthers to move once their draft position is determined.

[Cat'sGrowl]

Wait, you can do that?

Because I'm seriously thinking about taking the 89 out of mine.

Not because I'm not still an 89 fan, but he isn't gonna be here forever, and I just want my username to have some more longevity.

If 89 is in my name, and the 89 after Smitty sucks, then you can see how it'd be a problem.

Hey thanks for the username change!

Took me about 413 tries to figure out what was wrong with my account, but I'm in now.

1. I believe I read where Harbaugh has already said he wasn't going anywhere.

2. I don't believe it has anything to do with whether Luck wins his bowl or not. I think it has to do with whether a CBA is in place before the deadline to declare is up.

NO CBA NO LUCK..

[Actionman0z]

Then he'd have signed that contract extension that the Standford AD put out for him. He is going to test the market, no doubt about it, the question is, will the Panthers pole be in the water, and will he bite? Without Luck, no. With luck and the first Pick, he would be hard pressed not to. He'd do a job thats very hard to do, find the face of the franchise for the next 10-11 years.

[Mr. Scot]

Harbaugh's made no definitive statements either way.

He's been offered an extension that the Stanford AD said he "expects him to sign" but even that wouldn't prevent him from jumping to the NFL.

[Actionman0z]

True Mr. Scot. So that makes me wonder what good a contract is unless you make the coach pay back money for leaving early.

CBA won't and shouldn't matter in his decision to go pro. people make too big of a deal about that. the draft would still happen and he would still have a job and the money would come eventually.

when you are on top, there is only one way to go and that is down. if you are assured even a top 3-5 pick in the draft, you go. you don't take the risk of getting hurt in a meaningless, unpaid year of playing or risk falling because of a lack of performance.

the CBA would get finished up at some point and everyone who was drafted will get their money. most likely it will get finished around TC time and at that point contracts would get worked out. contracts are usually not fishished up until TC anyway, esp. for the first rounders who usually go iunto the first week without deals done. the main reason that they take so long is because they have a lot of negotiating to do, but with the rookie salary cap in place it won't take nearly as long.

[Actionman0z]

Has anyone trolled the Stanford boards and gotten a sense of weather or not either one of them has decided anything? All I know is I am going to pay very special attention to their game against VA tech. Im excited for it. Also, I would really like to pick up Doug Baldwin, his highlight reel is just as good as Lucks, that dude catches everything. Anyone know anything about him draft stock wise?

Hotline prediction: Based on what Luck said today, what he has said about Stanford in the past and what others have said about him, I’d say it’s 55-45 that he returns to school.

And I reserve the right to change that estimate in coming weeks.

[Actionman0z]

Easy decision to make for the blogger whos not turning down millions of dollars to remain at Stanford. Last I checked, Stanford was going to be around longer than a few years, 70 million and the first overall pick in the draft, only happens once.

[mav1234]

heh, those statements actually make me think it's more likely Luck comes out, honestly.

[CarolinaPanic]
