If it’s KC for Luck, Dad knows the territory

If it’s KC for Luck, Dad knows the territory (http://www.kansascity.com/2011/09/27/3171851/if-its-kc-for-luck-dad-knows-the.html)

Father of Stanford QB knows KC
West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck didn’t need his program caught up in Big 12 expansion rumors to be connected with this part of the country.

Chiefs fans are beginning to become familiar with his son, Andrew, the Stanford quarterback who is widely viewed as the top prospect for the 2012 NFL draft.

While attending an athletic director’s conference Tuesday in Grapevine, Texas, Oliver Luck said that he doesn’t play favorites with teams that could draft his son. But if it’s the Chiefs, he has a comfort level with the organization.

While working in NFL Europe, he reported to the late Chiefs owner, Lamar Hunt. And before getting his current job, Luck developed a friendship through his work in soccer with current Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt, Lamar’s son.

“I’ve always felt a connection to the Hunts and Kansas City,” Luck said. “Kansas City’s a nice place, it really is. But it’s a long season. A lot of things can happen.”

As for West Virginia as a Big 12 expansion candidate and realignment, Luck would not comment.

It's MOTHERFUCKING DESTINY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chiefs Pantalones]

COME SON OF OLIVER!

[WV]

GO Mountaineers......I've been trying to find a way to make this connection, Thanks!

[Bump]

I was meant to be. It's going to be fucking glorious! There are gonna be some epic battles in the AFC West vs the Chargers for another decade. It's gonna be EPIC!

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Writing is on the wall

[CoMoChief]

I'm starting to think we are going to tank this season....Haley won't get fired...we're going to play the system against itself, and We'll be in position to draft Luck. This is coming down from Clark Hunt....Cassel fortunately is the scapegoat QB, and we'll trade him to a QB starved team like Seattle for a 2nd day pick. All things will be pointing up.


Have faith Chiefs fans.

[Dave Lane]

We can lose it all!!!!

[Dante84]

Off to the Andrew Luck Masterbatorium!!!

[BossChief]

Sounds like two little talked about debates/talking points can be put to rest:

1) Luck might not come out after this year because he has one more year of eligibility.

2) Luck might do #1 because he wouldn't want to play in KC.

[NJChiefsFan]

Hold on now. I was told by KnoMo that Luck might pull an Eli and go to Denver. This story must be false.

1. He would be crazy to risk injury and pass up 22 million, or whatever #1 is going for these days. Holding out a year does nothing for his pocketbook and does put it at risk.

2. Who's to say who the worst team in 2012 will be, if not us again?

If we play the way we did in the second half of the SD game and keep most of the games close, but end with a terrible record...I dont think they should fire Haley due to injuries that would have made the difference.

That said, if we go through that late stretch of games against really good teams and look like we did in the first two weeks, there is no way Haley should keep his job.

He would've been pushing his luck (pun not intended) if he would've stayed one more year anyway.

Playing every game like that SD game would be the perfect situation. The teams shows promise except for the QB.

1) he would have been the top pick last year and passed...some here (not me) pointed to that as reason to think he may want to play out his senior year (eligibility wise) instead of coming out this year.

2) huh? Some here thought Luck may decide to return to college for his last year if we got the top pick because he wouldn't want to play here. Again, not me.

[Rausch]

Perhaps I'm just a pessimist but the idea of the Chiefs ever getting "Luck" seems like a far off and unlikely possibility...

[BossChief]

absolutely.

My hope for 2011:

keep the games close and give the young guys a chance to play to see what we have and dont have...but lose em all.

I wonder if Haley called Herm and asked his advise on how to do exactly that during the week leading up to the SD game?

[Dante84]

1 - He was a 20/21 year old sophomore, which would make him one of the earliest players to leave. He also would have been up against Bradford for the #1 spot. This year he is another year older, with a good body of work, and no competition whatsoever for the #1 spot. It's as good a situation as can be, from that standpoint.

Unless he just, wants to finish college.

2 - If he stays another year just because it's us at the #1 spot, my point was, well, how does he know who will be in the #1 spot next year, if not us again?

The risk/reward is a no brainer. He would be the worlds biggest fool to not leave this year. Also, it's not like we are the goddamned Raiders or Browns. KC is a pretty cool team to play for, all things considered.

[Hammock Parties]

The last time I had this feeling it was all the Pioli/Cassel speculation.

[NJChiefsFan]

A lot more variables involved in this situation.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

I think Clark told Pioli and Haley to suck for Luck before the season even began.

I honestly wonder if the first three injuries were faked, too.

I also question the validity of the Flowers injury, too.

The timing of all 4 of those injuries were PERFECT for the S4L campaign.

Having Cassel is just the frosting...the dont have to tell him anything but "get out there and do your best"

[Rausch]

I think Haley is a Herm-level stupidity hire and he's proven his ineptitude in as much time.

[BossChief]

Maybe "faked" is a bit overstated.

Lets go with "over diagnosed"

Trainer to coaches and Pioli: This Moeaki kid has a tendon strain, but if its rested, he should be able to make a full recovery in 3 weeks at the max.

Pioli: looks torn to me
Haley: me 2

Hunt: Get Dr Andrews on the phone. Lets make sure we are all on the same page here.

something like that is entirely possible.

Its like playing chess...sometimes you sacrifice your queen to take the attention off the fact that you are moving in on the king.

This is going to be a long 7 months...

[007]

This is going to be a long 7 months...

Imagine the meltdown this place will have if we win that one game we shouldn't too.

[Dante84]

This is going to be a long 7 months...

It will be a long 14 weeks, as we will know on January 1st if we have the pick or not.

If we get it, there is no way we don't take him.

If we don't get the #1 pick, it will be a very long 7 months of trade rumors, which will likely culminate on Draft Day, and we will most likely be let down.

We need the #1 spot. Plain and simple. #2 won't do.

[Hootie]

I would love to see it...it would be typical Rick luck...

we get #1 and the dumbass stays in college

[BigMeatballDave]

It would be insane for him to stay for his Sr. season. His stock will never be higher than it is now.

I disagree. To me if we play too many games like the SD one, eventually our QB will pull out a win or two. That could push us out of the Luck sweepstakes. I want no chance of us winning. Blowouts do suck, but they will be worth it if we get Luck.

Eli refused to go to San Diego & he was right. He's won a super bowl in New York while San Diego has a QB with twice the talent & they just fail year after year.

[ModSocks]

It kinda does feel like destiny. The Injuries + the Schedule.....The Odd things that have been occurring this season...Like Succop completely shitting the bed, the odd penalties, the turnovers just not falling our way.....Are the Stars finally aligning for us?

I'm not totally sure, but I think the main reason he didn't want to go to San Diego is because he wouldn't be starting as soon as he'd like, thanks to Drew Brees. Rivers had to wait until 06 for that reason.

Pretty sure you're wrong. They basically blasted the ownership. Said they weren't committed to winning.

Archie Manning thought AJ Smith was da debil or something

[Three7s]

Even so, despite Manning's Super Bowl title, I'd much rather have Rivers at this point.

[Okie_Apparition]

[The Bad Guy]

Hahahaha. That sound was the rope tightening around KnowMo's neck.

[The Bad Guy]

At this point right now, yes, because Peyton has a neck injury.

But get real here. Rivers has won nothing all while having a great deal of talent around him.

I love Rivers, but I'm not taking him over a healthy Peyton.

[The Bad Guy]

Eli wanted a major market, and he also thought the Chargers were a complete team of suck. His daddy forced him into a major market.

[The Franchise]

At this point right now, yes, because Peyton has a neck injury.

As great as that would. It would be franchise suicide when caught if they faked injuries like that. Cassel can lose any game on his own, so no throwing games charge. Now proving that hiring muir was valid, would be tricky if not for al davis hirings.

[The Bad Guy]

Oh yeah, i'd take Rivers over Eli.

So when do you think Bowe will go down?

[Titty Meat]

We're gonna win our next 2 games and fuck this up.

[ChiefsCountry]

So when do you think Bowe will go down?

Bowe is in a contract year, can't fake an injury with him.

[ChiefGator]

So when do you think Bowe will go down?

When he can't take it anymore. I think the rule in Arrowhead is.. if you can't handle losing, than "pull an ACL". Otherwise, get your miserable ass on the field and LOSE GOD DAMNIT!!

[ChiefGator]

Bowe is in a contract year, can't fake an injury with him.

Oh yeah.. well, once he gets his extension.
