Sources: Panthers to pick Andrew Luck

[xtheronx]

Wonder if those "sources" are JR and Hurney from the press conference, stating that they plan on not giving away their #1 pick.

that's EXACTLY what I was thinking when I read this .. they never said they were picking Luck .. just that they would not trade away the pick .. lol

Read the responses from Atlanta fans. They dont want us to draft Luck.

"doesnt matter who the qb is on panthers need other players. would be a mistake to give up on clausen this early. should trade pick to some1 like the 49ers for alot of picks and try to rebuild this team. u got way bigger needs then qb"

"as a falcons fan i am laughing at the panthers!!! lol go ahead plz draft another qb."

"What a horrible situation for Luck going to the panthers. No head coach, no defense and no legit wr's under 30. It will be at least 3-5 years before panthers are playing well eneough to make a playoff run. You guys should have kept Fox around, at least then you would have a solid system in place."

Apparently, NOBODY but us watches our games lol.

I pray that this pushes him towards entering the draft and not the exact opposite, lol.

[JakeFlake]

well, we all know what Jerry said about sources.

The same fan base that was knob-jobbing Moore until 2010 blew up in his face.

Sorry... but there was also ALOT of the fanbase who were not up Moore's jock.

I wondered over to the Saints forums earlier. They're scared to death and praying that Luck doesn't declare or we trade away the pick.

I still think we're one of the best, 1st round pick teams in a LONG team though. If we had slightly above average QB play this year we could have made noise.

They're idiots. If Luck would've been the QB this year, we would've won at least 5+ more games. Imagine Gettis and Lafell with Luck next year... AND if Smitty comes back, wow...

We're not as far off as they think. I literally think that's the piece we need to make us a consistent winner, everything else can be addressed as we go. DT is a close second.

That called a fanbase talking scared. I know a good amount of Falcon, Saints, and Buc fans that do not want to see Luck in the division because they know that they would have to actually respect the Panthers passing game.

Actually, part of one of those posts might be a very good reason why Luck may stay in school another year. If he declares, chances are very good that he'll be going to a team with an unknown factor at HC. That is assuming that JR/Hurney even see Luck as a #1 prospect (after all, quite a few think he was seeing Harbaugh as a #1 prospect).

I get it' date=' you think Luck isn't worth the pick. Guess what very few share your opinion......[/quote']

He's worthy of the pick, certainly, but we have too much to fix and an impatient fanbase. The question is can he win immediately? The odds say no. Who knows though, an offensive-minded coach could potentially speed his progress. It's a matter of free agency and we still have the same FO. Unless they change course, I'm sticking to my guns. If Hurney miraculously plugs a few holes with decent FAs, I'll be more open to drafting Luck.

I agree completely the Panthers are one of the best teams to have the #1 pick in a long time... meaning you are not going to a black hole and it is generally a very good organization to play for.
