What players would you rather have than Andrew Luck?
If you had the number 1 pick in next year's draft, what players would you be willing to take in trade for the pick?
|
Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers.
That's about it. |
What The Bad Guy said.

I think I'd roll the dice with Luck over Rivers, but it would be a tough call.

Maybe that 5th round Tight End Denver drafted. According to knowmo, he's going to be the next big thing in the NFL, and knowmo seems like a sharp guy.
Oh yeah, Tebow obviously. |

Now this doesn't have squat to do with the topic other than it made me think of collge football and next years draft but one of the players I really like besides Luck is Cyrus Gray RB from Texas AM. In the last several years there have only been a few RB's that really jumped out at me when watching them play prior to them getting a lot of national hype. Edge James at the U, Frank Gore as a freshman at the U before tearing up his knee and Cyrus Gray. Just seems to be a different type of burst and feel for the running game. My instincts were right about the first two, curious to see if that is the case with Gray. Don't get me wrong there have been other RB's that looked good to me but I'm talking about guys that just seem to have the sure thing about them.

I wonder if I was the first person to liken Suh to Reggie White?
10-21-09 Suh=Seymour/Reggie White (from what Ive seen of him) |

I'd take Sam Bradford over luck. They are about the same age and what Bradford did with the talent surrounding him coming from a spread offense was amazing. best rookie season for a qb I have seen with all things considered.

They both were dominant right from the start of their careers. As a player that can sustain that for a very long period of time, absolutely. |
Quote:
Bradford has already shown the ability to do it at the NFL level. Lots of Junior QBs have shown the potential to be great NFL Qbs, but have flamed out for whatever the reason. Bradford raised the level of play of the team around him the moment he took his first snap. Lets see if Luck continues to improve without his QB guru to help him take the next steps. |

Agreed...and did it on a bad team while his WR's were dropping like flies from injury. Hist top 2 WR's coming out of camp Laurent Robinson and Avery both went down. So not only did he not have much talent to throw to but he didn't even have that much time to develop chemistry with the guys he had. |

I would trade every single pick we have in the next draft, and a second from the next year for the pick to take Luck.
I might even throw in Stanzi... Zorn + Cassel + Luck = QB position solved for the next decade. Worth every penny/draft pick. |
I'm going to laugh if Luck gets depressed, turns to drugs, booze, and hookers, and ends up sucking himself out of the first round

And look, I'm not against drafting a QB in the first round, but we shouldn't just throw away 1st rounders on shitty QBs like Luck. If a REAL QB every shows up where we pick, then yes, absolutely, we should draft him. |

When you have a premier QB coach and an average starter, thats the perfect time to draft a player like luck.
If I made the offer I stated earlier and the team with the pick said "make that second the next year a first and we have a deal" I shake hands and complete that deal before the other team has a chance to think it over. |

It will be very interesting to see what Luck does without Harbaugh.

Over an unproven college prospect?

Suh could win 5 DMVP awards and a overall MVP award or three before its all said and done if he can stay healthy. Nobody just throws linemen out of the way how Suh does. Nobody. |

Here's a fun list to make -- can anyone list all Pro Bowl QBs this team has had?

In all seriousness, I agree with many of the comments about Suh's potential greatness. Dude just had a monster rookie year and seems to be on a completely different level than a lot of players in the league.
Furthermore, I'm not as enamored with Luck as most. I like him as a prospect, no question, but I don't think he's "other-worldly" by any stretch. |
I just have not been impressed with a lot of QBs that have declared for the draft the past few years, yet a lot of them seem to be succeeding at a higher rate. Luck is the best I feel like we've seen declare in a while (I feel like a lot of recent QBs were largely drafted on upside, with the hope that they could be coached up). I feel like from an intelligence, leadership, and technique standpoint, he's already top notch.
|
Luck is the best prospect I have seen since Manning.
|
Everytime I watched a Stanford game, I couldn't help thinking I was watching Steve Young.
The same as when I watched Nebraska, I couldn't help but think Suh was a carbon copy of Reggie White. I guess it depends if you saw Steve Young as an unworldly talent. I did. |
I think you guys are overrating Suh a bit.
