I want Andrew Luck to fail.

Do you want Andrew Luck to fail?

I do. It's nothing personal against him, the team he goes to, or anything like that. The reason I want him to fail is because if he had decided to come out of school, the Panthers would have drafted him instead of Cam Newton. Newton has been everything a #1 overall pick should be. An instant starter, a game changer, and a guy you can build your franchise around. He has broken records held by a guy named Manning. He's turned around the fortune of a recently downtrodden franchise. Obviously he's still a rookie and things can always change, but Cam Newton looks like a home run pick.

So why does all that make me want Andrew Luck to fail? We have our guy, right? It's because we would have picked him over Cam Newton. What's to say Cam would have been a success if he went somewhere else? I would be happy knowing we drafted a guy who became a success over a guy who became a bust. Luck is so highly regarded that teams might be tanking the season just to get him. I just want to thumb my nose at the team that drafts him and say "We got Cam...and Luck failed."

But maybe that's just me being a selfish Panther fan. So be it.

He'll probably be a smashing success. Even if he fails in the NFL, he'll be a mutli-millionaire with a degree from Stanford. He wins no matter what. He's an extremely fortunate human being if he turns out to be a successful QB or not.

If he makes it as a starter in the NFl then I want him to fail every time we play him. Otherwise I hope he has a great career. Why would it hurt us if he does great unless he is in our division or we play his team. Him doing well is no reflection on newton or the fact he stayed in school.

Honestly I am pleased he decided to stay in school. He did us a huge favor.

If Andrew Luck pulls the draft day crap that Eli Manning pulled in 2004, I will be rooting for him to fail.

And the speculation is that he might:

But, frankly, I am beyond thankful that he did slap our organization in the face and pull out of the draft, because we've got the real once-in-a-generation quarterback now!

    • Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
