What are the chances of Luck pulling an Elway?

I've looked at alot of other message boards, and we all know how they dream for Luck to say he doesn't want to play for the Panthers. With all the media bad-mouthing Richardson and saying he's cheap, what are the chances Luck pulls a diva move?

If he's 50/50 on going back to Stanford, or coming to the NFL, you don't pull that kind of move. He knows he's going to Carolina if he leaves Stanford, so if he makes the NFL decision, I think that says he wants to be in Carolina.

Also like other people said, he doesn't seem like a diva type of kid.

No chance.

I could see Elway possibly trying to convince him to do it if Denver were to land Harbaugh (which doesn't look likely) but even then Luck is a good kid with a good head on his shoulders and I don't think he'd go for it.

He'd be walking into a good situation here with a team that is right on the cusp of being a contender, and I just don't envision him pulling a stunt like that, no matter how much some of the talking heads down at ESPN wish he would so he can go to "a real team"

I don't see why he wouldn't want to come to Carolina. At Stanford he played in a run first pass second offensive philosophy. Yes our run game struggled this past year, but I think that had a lot to do with a decimated O-line, no D-Will, and mainly Jimmy Clausen. Clausen couldn't keep any defense honest so teams just stacked 8 men in the box repeatedly.

With a healthy run game, Luck's sexy play action passing will work to perfection.

    • I meant to type more my bad…. first and main reason we’re probably trying to add him his pff scores are high very high. Being that we value that much more nowadays I know he’s on our radar. His run stopping grades were like the highest of all LBs. That would have given us top graded plates at all three levels Brown then Pratt with   JC and Moehrig were definitely stopping the run this year with these monsters fully healthy. I hope we dangling some of that Clowney money at him we need him to solidify our defense. add in the NC ties and we should be in play got his services
    • You're not even reading what I'm saying you're just ranting. It has everything to do with draft pick value vs. cap space impact. The agent knows he's holding significant draft capital over the GM's head vs. minimal cap impact. Not everyone is geared like Dave Gettleman where literally everything boils down to a dick measuring contest. History indicates the agents progressively whittle away and win the battle vs. the GMs on the rookie contracts. Hell, we have an owner throwing out typical 6th rounder guarantees at UDFAs just to secure them. He's not sweating pennies on the dollar against the cap or trying to protect his precious wallet. It's the one thing I do appreciate about Tepper. The man will spend to try to win. Being cheap hasn't been our issue.
    • I would LOVE to have the talent that Oakland and NY(Giants) have. They were/are WAAAAAY better rosters.  I think we will finally crawl out of that "worst" spot this season, even as a massive sceptic.  We need it.
