I'm appalled at the Andrew Luck sensationalism. I mean, wow.
I understand, he's a terrific player.. but all of this "he's the best to ever come out in the last decade" or "he'll be the most amazing prospect to come out at QB" .. it's way, way over the top. Guys, Bradford was a superior prospect. It was hardly arguable that he was the best QB in the nation. With Luck, it's very arguable.
Stop all of this "We have to trade EVERYTHING for him!!!" talk. Please. If he declares, great. If we get him, great. But there are far too many other talented guys -- arguably just as good right now -- to say we have to, or should, do whatever possible to get Luck.
All I'm saying is this: Calm down. Breathe. We have a shot at several very good quarterbacks, and that includes players already in the NFL that we could feasibly trade for.
Its that he plays for Stanford... if he played for any other school he wouldn't be getting nearly the love.
That's it. It proves to be a Bay Area centric board time and time again.
luck is cool, accurate, gutsy and very lucky sometimes. what else do you want in a QB? look on any mock draft you find and luck is probably the top pick.
His arm is not that strong. And his best throws are with tons of time to throw. He has a brick wall in front of him. He won't have that with Chilo and Anthony Davis.
Alex was the "mock draft #1 pick" several years ago. Once upon a time Ryan Leaf was a consensus top 2 overall pick in many mock drafts. Jamarcus Russell was projected and picked #1. So what's your point? The guy hasn't played 1 down in the NFL. You have no idea what he will be.
Your hate for Luck is appalling. And like I've proved before, it's quite evident that you don't really watch his games or at least study the way he plays. In his game against Oregon State on Saturday, he was being rushed, took one step up, and before even setting his feet, flung the ball 45 yards to Baldwin for a TD. He threw for over 300 yards, and this is with an offense that tends to play with three tight end, two back sets. And did I mention that their #1 receiver was out too??
Yes, Stanford's o-line is good, but he does occasionally get rushed out of the pocket and he continues to make plays with his feet. The fact that you continue to discredit Luck's abilities as a QB is unbelievable.
