Where's my Luck/Newton thread?

KG you're my dude. You gotta trust me on this one. I dont think Luck will have any problem winning many polls on this board. He's a fan favorite here BY FAR. You dont need a poll for that.

We are stupid if we take Luck instead of trading down and gaining picks, namely getting our second back. A solid draft could have us back as a respectable team. Taking another freaking rookie QB first overall and failing to regain our second is S-T-U-P-I-D.

Drafting Luck will be another colossal blunder.

i wonder what would happen to this place if we ended up with jeff fisher?

Well dude we are in the minority. I want to play the other side of the Luck Lottery. I wonder what San Fran would be willing to give up. Or the Vikings for that matter. We need a active FA, a loaded draft and a HC and OC. Luck is putting all your eggs in one basket.

Yes, but sometimes you have to take that chance if you want a franchise quarterback. I'm not saying Clausen can't be that guy, but I certainly don't want to put all of our eggs into that basket either.

You have got to have a franchise quarterback to win in this league, and we need to do everything we can to get that. Luck isn't a sure thing, but it sounds like the scouts think he's about as close to one as you can get.

I can tell you right now Clausen is not that guy, he may end up being an average qb with a west coast offense but he will never be a franchise qb. I wouldnt be that opposed to trading down for more picks but if Luck comes out its just too much to pass on. He's improved dramatically over the past year and he's still getting so much better, its hard to find a weakness

Have you not heard Farve may be coming back.Why would the Vikings want another QB?

I agree.Trading down is an option but assuming someone does not want to trade up which is usually the case what other options are there? AJ Green? The DE from Clemson? I dont think so for the 1st pick.

The only reason anyone would trade up to get the 1st pick is to get Luck and I know JR's not an idiot so I'm not worried about it. I guess if Luck stayed at school and someone really liked Mallet they would

[Davis83]

I'm not totally sold on the whole "gotta get Luck" thing - or newton, or any stud QB for that matter.

For every "good" QB taken as #1 overall, there are just as many QB failures taken in the 1st rounds - some as #1 overall.

You don't have to get a big name QB to have a successful team - you just need someone that can evaluate the talent and then develop it.

ahhh some non - 1st rounders that turned out pretty good

Tom Brady = 6th round pick

Drew breeze = 2nd round pick

Steve Young - supplemental draft

Montana = 3rd round pick

Dan Fouts = 3rd round pick

so how bout TJ Yates, Stephen Garcia, Greg McElroy for instance - trade down to gain some picks and take a mid level QB.

2011 Nfl Draft Wish List:

Andrew Luck

DT/G/CB

Anyone care to give me some names of quality DTs, Guards, and Corners that could be available in the middle rounds? Haven't been watching too many college football games, just the big ones. Hurney has found some gems here and there in the later rounds and without a second, he's going to have to be spot on because we are hurting in those positions with an off-season such as this looming.

Connor, Munnerlyn, Hardy, Anderson, Johnson are all going to be central to success in the future hopefully. I'd love to throw a couple more draft steals in there with a DT, G, and CB from this draft.

Go Panthers!
