My Plan to Draft Luck Next Year


Matthias

Recommended Posts

Much easier to say that once you've made the decision to pass that team over and go back for a useless encore at Stanford. It pretty much came down to either pulling an Eli or pulling a Peyton, and he took the latter option and saved a lot of face in the process.

You can believe whatever you want to believe, because it's a free country, but if you think the turmoil that exists here right now, the fact that we're not a team with a lot of history, and the idea that we may not be digging out of this division any time soon didn't play into Luck's decision then you're just fooling yourself in my opinion.

Honestly, who wants to be a hero in Charlotte when you can be a hero for the Jets like Sanchez or the Lions like Stafford. At this time next year, another team will be welcoming Luck into the organization and it will likely be one with a lot more history than ours.

Oliver Luck did three different local newspaper interviews and a radio appearance talking about the Panthers. He and Andrew both also spoke directly to Jerry Richardson. The story was the same every time.

Why exactly should I trust what you, someone who has zero contact with Luck, believe more than what he and his father say? :sosp:

viewing this forum, ive come to realize that the majority of huddlers wear tin foil hats

-Andrew Luck hates us!! I dont care what they say! He doesnt want to play here and would rather play in cincy and buffalo

-Espn hates us

-Fox hates us

-Jerry Richardson hates us. Hes screwing the panthers over for $$$$$$

-Steve Smith hates us

I could go on

Obviously his father lied to protect our feelings. Also Andrew Luck loves the organizational stability in Buffalo/Oakland and would rather hold out to play there.

The one OMG chance of getting Luck is if he goes thru spring practice and realizes the the new HC, OC, DC, OL are changing things enough that he decides to enter the supplemental draft, for which we would also have the first pick(and lose our 2012 1st round pick).

Not likely, but not entirely impossible.

If Luck wanted to play here, he would have come out this year. I don't know why people continue to act like he wanted to play here. We very well could be the reason, the LONE reason, he went back to Stanford considering the coaching turnover and the fact that he has nothing left to prove there.

Your typically one of my favorite posters here, Vagrant.

But this post is WAYYY outta left field.

Part of me thinks your just trollin'

    • I know, this guy is 5th round at best but were talking Newton here.

I know they need to get help for Bryce Young, but I thought Matthew Golden was a better option. They also have defensive needs. McMillan doesn't run that well, which is always a concern PFF https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2025-nfl-draft-grades-every-first-round-pick#car )Carolina Panthers: WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona Pick Grade: Very Good The Panthers continue to build around Bryce Young, who led the NFL in big-time throws from Week 8 through the end of the regular season. Now, he has another downfield target. McMillan was one of the more productive receivers in college football over the past two seasons, ranking in the 85th percentile or better among qualifying NCAA wideouts in receiving grade versus single coverage, yards per route run and contested-catch rate CBS  https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/nfl-draft-2025-ranking-all-32-first-round-picks-as-browns-pass-on-travis-hunter-vikings-bills-get-steals/amp/ Ranked 2nd Tetairoa McMillan (Panthers, WR, No. 8 overall)  Anything to help Bryce Young -- who came on like gangbusters after his Year 2 benching -- right? Absolutely. And McMillan does just that as a classic boundary receiver who wins in the traditional ways, with his size, body and in traffic. There's a glimmer of flexibility to his game, but he isn't a dynamic separator. Not every good receiver has to be elite at getting open on a routine basis against man. McMillan isn't Mike Evans with the ball in the air. There are flashes of those contested-catch skills, and he's a monster after the catch
    • Walker was a top 5 athletic in this draft but our scheme IMO wasn't a good fit. We may regret passing on him.  T-Mac as three years of performance and it stands out. I think he opens up the rest of our receiving room. I expect XL and Coker to make big strides in 2025. I've seen grades of A to C on T-Mac, so it just depends on how you feel.  We have to focus on defense on the next 3 or 4 pick. Our round 4 and 5 picks are high picks in that round.  Let's hope Dan and Dave get those picks right.
