Mortensen Trashes Richardson/Luck to Panthers on Mike and Mike

[C47]

All I know, is if we dont get Andrew Luck, and it is our own fault. I am going to be very very upset.

Also, Gantt said last night, responding to one of my tweets.

This is somewhat comforting.

He's right anyone who trades for Luck will get raped for compensation.....

Damn, Kurb went at Mort for this

@mortreport U tlk Pnthrs = Cheap, yet he paid Fox 7.5mil 4 2-14, Pep 1mill/gme lst yr, usually all cap $. No basis for cmmnts BS #Panthers

and this is what Mort responded with:

@TheKurb Jerry Richardson is so anti-players union he's lead misinformation figure; said players want more money & benefits for less work. 6 minutes ago via TweetDeck

@TheKurb If no rookie wage scale, NFL execs think Richardson's disgust w union make him hesitate on giving #1 pick $55 mill guaranteed less than 20 seconds ago via TweetDeck

I'm not gonna lie, the "NFL execs say" is a smear campaign to keep us from getting Luck, but I really do believe Mort about the other stuff regarding the union, misinformation, etc. That statement did sound fishy to me yesterday when JR said "less work, more benefits..." Most guys that are former players find this to be a serious concern (Ditka), but most of them aren't owners.

It's clear there has been some dishonesty on the part of JR somewhere along the line.

JR is old and stubborn, but he isn't f**king stupid.

I do not think most coaches or players give a rats a$$ about what ESPN or any other NFL sports news outlet says.

And nowhere did I state they do.

I think Harbaugh would give a rats ass about Fox's departure, the press conference yesterday, Jerry's allegiance to the owners and not his team, the lack of player pickups. Based on the past year it would be pretty easy for a coach like Harbaugh to put other teams ahead of the Panthers

we will see

Moose said on his show yesterday that the full rookie pay scale won't be in effect until 2012, and that this years pay scale won't be as large as usual but still much larger than 2012, giving Luck ample reason to declare.

This was said by Moose, after he reviewed the info with his agent. Take it FWIW

good.

I still wish JR would've saved his "catching up" presser until after the deadline for players to declare.

It amazing how the media has no idea what we are going to do. They assume everything and know nothing.

[MHS831]

Most all of their analysts would be working in the NFL if they were smart. Mortenson is the one who suggested that Denver take Harbaugh and the two orchestrate an Elway/Eli Manning forced trade. He is a turd.

[Kurb]

Me and Mort have reached an understanding this AM.

[Ruff]

You don't become a billionaire without lying to someone along the line.

[PantherBrew]

Me and Mort have reached an understanding this AM.

Teh Kurb needs to mediate Owners v. Union.

[pantherclaw]

Luck is a competitor. So why wouldn't he want to go to a team to help turn it around? He's done it once already, with stanford.

I'm sure he'll do his research.
