Woe is Carolina. Back to the drawing board. RT @GusRamsey: andrew luck is returning to Stanford!




Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

God, please don't let this be true.

I think Newton is going to go #1 now. But having the top QB off the board pretty much seals the deal. Cant see how PP dodges all the land mines now

For us to get PP now, we'd have to trade up. UGH

 

[realtick]

Hmmmm.

I don't think Newton goes No. 1 overall, but this certainly does improve his stock along with Mallett and maybe even Gabbert.

Gabbert is a wild card to me, for some reason he's shooting up mock draft boards (remains to be seen if actual NFL teams are as high on him). He had a very strong '09 season, but followed it up with a somewhat mediocre '10.

For our purposes, I hope Gabbert lights it up during workouts and the combine. My gut tells me though that he doesn't go anywhere near as high as some are reporting him.

odd but now that I think of it maybe not 100% surprising. Stanford is an elite institution. On par with Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. Guys who get in there are very academically focused. Finishing school is likely a big priority for Luck.

Or he wants a shot a National Title and wants nothing to do with Carolina.

Mallett needs to spend time with Manning learning how to move his feet, then he needs time with Brady learning how to be calm under pressure, then he needs........ah' never mind, he needs to stay in school too.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

JMO, Carolina won't draft a QB. Not a fan of Clausen's play this past season, or even as a prospect last year, but Luck was a special prospect that only comes along every so many years. PManning was the last such prospect and before him probably Aikman.

Luck would've been a clear day 1 upgrade over Clausen, and had more upside. I don't think this is the case with Gabbert, Mallet or Newton

 

[TheRat]

Or he wants a shot a National Title and wants nothing to do with Carolina.

Getting a Stanford degree is worth staying in school. But staying in school to try to win a football game - a significant game but a football game nonetheless - is dumb. He would make tens of millions of dollars. I hope he is staying in school because he wants to get his degree.

 

[Avery]

Can't fault him for getting a degree, but that's a lot of money on the table that could go out the window with an injury, rookie pay scale, etc. I wouldn't have that resolve myself.

This definitely shakes up the top ten which doesn't help us.

 

[Mountaineerfan]

It's not like his family is hurting for money and like mentioned above he's very smart so I'd say good move for him and one you do not see from a communications major at _____ state put your local school in the blank.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Im hearing that the rookie scale will go into affect this season. So the money will be the same.

Carolina is a crappy team but what do you expect from the team picking #1? It wont get too much better the next year.

No dount.
He's been saying so all along but no one seems to want to listen.

 

[TheCount]

okay well this screws up everything.

They're not all THAT crappy. They had a lot go wrong this year--especially at QB and some defense injuries. But they are not your classic bottom of the barrel team picking #1.

 

[dogberry]

How many Harvard grads can Luck hire on $12 million a year? There's probably a girl his is interested in.

Andrew Luck to stay in Stanford

Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck has decided to stay in college to get his degree instead of immediately cashing in on the riches of being the likely No. 1 pick in the NFL draft according to the Associated Press.

Luck announced his decision Thursday, more than a week before the deadline for underclassmen to declare for the NFL draft. Luck, who sat out his first year as a redshirt, has two years of eligibility remaining but is on track to graduate next spring.

''I am committed to earning my degree in architectural design from Stanford University and am on track to accomplish this at the completion of the spring quarter of 2012,'' Luck said in a statement issued through the school.

Yeah doesnt help us, but good for him. He has something he believes in deeply and probably thinks Stanford has a legit shot at a national title.

I'm guessing people will roll out the "its stupid to turn down all that money!!" argument, but the fact is his family is probably doing quite well, and if he's as good as most believe he is he'll make his money.

People commended Payton Manning for staying in school, shouldnt be any different for Luck.
