The Luck Watch...

[Mr. Scot]

...is officially on.

Any and all information about him will surely be analyzed to death between now and the 15th (if it even takes that long).

Things heat up a lot once we know what Harbaugh is doing.

Right now, I'd say it could go either way.

I think Luck will ultimately declare. I think he knew last night, after the Orange Bowl. That's why he wanted to just enjoy the moment.

But, I think that Carolina should try and get a coach in here before the 15th, or atleast have an almost definitive candidate, because Luck may stay in if there's no one set in stone.

[Jangler]

We will be Lucky to get a HC that knows what he is doing.

[Swarly]

I just hope that, one way or another, we are able to get a coach(whether it be as a coordinator, assistant, whatever) who can work with QB's.

Ron Rivera as head coach + Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator would be fantastic. Too bad it'll never happen lol.

[Jangler]

No, we are going to get Mangini and the Madden 10 champion.

[Spaceballs83]

I just don't see how Luck can gain anything "Football wise" if he stays. I'm not talking about money or even if Harbaugh stays. They are going to lose a big portion of thier roster next year and will probably not have the same success they had this year.

He and Harbaugh both need to strike now. Everybody is drooling over both these guys.

[Mr. Scot]

If Harbaugh stays at Stanford, the odds of Luck declaring go way down.

And make no mistake, that is a possibility.

(not what I think will happen, but it definitely could)

[mr beauxjangles]

We've heard from Luck that Harbaugh's decision will impact his, implying that he will wait to hear what Harbaugh decides (or they decide together). I can't imagine Luck making a decision without having some degree of confidence in what Harbaugh is going to do. Ergo, I see them making a decision at essentially the same time. Schefter has reported that Harbaugh will decide by the end of this week. If we believe this, then I see no reason why we should have to wait beyond Monday (the 10th) at the latest for a decision to be announced by Luck.

I still think its a ridiculous decision if he stays with a looming reduction in wages. Espn is doing everything possible to not mention us as a possible destination for a great QB. Hopefully he buys into Richardson as a great owner and hopefully JR doesn't screw a coaching search that could lock him up...we gotta get a respectable coach.

[Mr. Scot]

The wage scale will apply this year if a CBA is reached.

But hey, good news! If Luck doesn't come out, Matt Leinart says he's ready to be a starter again :eek:

[Spaceballs83]

I swear. This is going to be the biggest letdown in the history of my life if Luck does not declare. I will cry in a corner for a month................

I have always liked the Colts and enjoyed seeing Manning play. Always thought.."man would be nice for the panthers to have someone like that"....but always knew it would be very unlikely. Now we have the chance. Please Luck!!!!!!!!!

[Double Trouble]

are you guys going to watch mallet tonight? he also has D.J. Williams (mackey award winner) at tight end. maybe he could fall to 3rd round? he is supposed to be a really good run blocker.

He said that he was going to sit down and list the pros and cons. Hell, we can do that for him (feel free to enhance this list):

PRO Going PRO: Money Set for life), #1 draft pick lock (Stock will never be higher) , Carolina is not major market, Harbaugh to leave, Many seniors graduating at Stanford (Team will not be very good next year), Closer to parents

CONS: Want degree, Love college experience, Gain more experience for next level, will win Heisman, Money will be there next year.

I see an 80% chance he comes out.
