Andrew Luck News & Updates

Locker also has zero talent around him. Not saying I'd rather have him but it's something to consider.

I disagree. His RB Christian Polk is a very good, physical runner. He's actually one of the better RB's in the Pac-10. Also, he has some pretty good WR's in Devin Aguilar and Jermaine Kearse. He is an average pocket passer, but when he gets outside of the pocket he is pretty darn good. His mediocre pocket presence is why I would take Mallett over him 10 times out of 10.

I think the Orange Bowl will be the determining factor. Even Matt Ryan looked average against VT at times with all the coverages Bud throws at QBs.

The biggest negative that I can think of about Luck is he's tailored for a Harbaugh offense and unless our new coaching staff comes in and puts emphasis on offense, it's not going to bode well drafting him. What I do like about him compared to Jimmy is.. while he does respond to pressure, he does a better job of stepping up and playing bigger. He's not afraid, he doesn't rely on the YAC, and he does a good job of forcing 1 on 1 matchups with his eyes which lead to the jump balls.

damn....I guess I might as well jump onboard as well. I have heard rumors that he might not go pro depending on who the number one team is....what do we do if that happens? -My bet would be to trade down

Information and analysis.

Peyton manning. Ryan Leaf. Leaf. Manning. Manning. Leaf. Manning is more polished. Leaf throws a better deep ball. Leaf is built like a tree trunk. Manning is the ultimate student of the game. Manning is now. Leaf is the future.

As Bill Polian lay in his bed a week or so before April's NFL draft, sleep was fleeting. "The football demons kept waking me up," says Polian, who last December became president of the Indianapolis Colts and had the first pick in the draft. "They came jumping out at the oddest times." They were telling Polian that, based on recent drafts, there was a better than 50-50 chance he would pick a quarterback who would fall flat on his face as a pro.

Although he favored Tennessee's Manning over Washington State's Leaf, Polian had trouble putting this baby to bed. He had watched tape of each of Manning's 1,505 passes for the Vols as well as Leaf's 880 for the Cougars. Then twice more he watched every pass that Manning and Leaf threw during the 1997 season, charting on separate legal pads each player's success or failure in making tough throws, long throws, throws on the move. He asked new Colts coach Jim Mora to look twice at every pass that Leaf and Manning threw in college. Quarterbacks coach Bruce Arians viewed every pass four times; other staffers watched three times each.

Polian paid quarterback guru Bill Walsh $5,000 to analyze tape of both quarterbacks. He grilled former NFL quarterback Phil Simms and Vanderbilt coach Woody Widenhofer, both of whom had studied Leaf and Manning. Polian was so meticulous in putting the two players through separate workouts in early April that he even noted how accurately each of them could throw a long pass without striding (Leaf 60 yards, Manning 58, by the way). All told, Polian had spent about 14 hours a day over a 28-day span studying Leaf and Manning. "Did we overanalyze?" he says. "Absolutely."

Finally, on April 18, Polian took Manning. His reasons: Manning had more experience (45 college starts to 24 for Leaf), a stronger work ethic, an NFL-quality arm and better preparation for handling the scrutiny every top pick faces. But Polian's work didn't stop with the selection of a quarterback. This season Polian will act as a gatekeeper for all of the personal-appearance inquiries that the team receives for Manning, and he assigned one club employee to handle all internal autograph requests.

Deep down, Polian is secure in his choice, happy that the Colts have their quarterback of the future. But he realizes he can't control what happens to Manning from here on out. "History tells us that sometimes fate intervenes," Polian says, "and you're going to make the wrong decision half the time."

I heard andrew luck once saved 16 puppies from a burning building by using his magic ice breath to cool the fires.

I'm going to laugh when we have the #1, he comes out and the Panthers trade down. Then I cry.

[Match.com]

it seems like everybody wants this guy....really we are not going to get this guy...i really think we can pull these next few games out...the season is not over....go panthers...this team has too much pride to lay on its back...besides if we draft him behind our o line he will fail just like the rest of the great hopes that lined up behind center for this franchise...with our line cam newton is the best choice but we wont select him either...this thread is too long....we...not speaking french...but panther fans know we will pull out three games this season i sure of it....i bet my life on that....
