Luck is glimmer of hope in Panthers' nightmare season

[Laetitia]

(Scott Fowler, [email protected]) For many Carolina Panthers fans, Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck represents hope for a beaten-up franchise that will officially finish off the NFL's worst record and its entire coaching staff today.p/There is no such thing as a surefire NFL savior. But after getting a firsthand look at Luck and talking to many around him over the past few days, I'm convinced Luck is as close as you can get.

The dark side of me is starting to want Luck to stay in school after this avalanche of messianic articles about him. I would hate it for the Panthers, but the beauty of the crying that would go on here for weeks would be the stuff of legend.

Who is this Andrew Luck

[Sam Mills Fan]

Who is Andrew Luck? Who is this king of glory? He's the prince of peace, holy one, king eternal, defender of the weak. He's the Alpha and Omega, the Morning Star. He's our savior and Lord.

Everyone needs compassion,

Love that's never failing;

Let mercy fall on me.

Everyone needs forgiveness,

The kindness of an Andrew;

The Hope of nations.

Andrew, He can move the mountains,

Andrew is Mighty to save,

He is Mighty to save.

Forever, Author of salvation,

He rose and conquered the grave,

Andrew conquered the grave.

So take me as You find me,

All my fears and failures,

Fill my life again.

I give my life to follow

Everything I believe in,

Now I surrender.

Andrew, He can move the mountains,

Andrew is Mighty to save,

He is Mighty to save.

Forever, Author of salvation,

He rose and conquered the grave,

Andrew conquered the grave.

Wow, he must be real swell.

But seriously if he doesn't come out I don't know how I'm going to find any optimism for the Panthers for years to come

I just call him Andy now he is just like family.

I'll be completely torn if he stays in school. On one hand it will be another instance of "seriously could we have any worse luck" (worse luck, har har!)...but on the other so much crying and bemoaning the universe. Tough choices, these.

I really hope he comes out it would suck to have the #1 pick and miss out on luck.

What a disaster of a season. I didn't think Moore would play as poorly as he did. I didn't think Clausen would play as poorly as he did. I didn't think our team would be as terrible as it has been. I do think Luck can be our franchise QB, and dammit, I'm about ready to be right about something.

Whats up with the fat girl in the sig?

Don't be a fool, stay in school.
