I hope it works out for the kid."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.

Since we're talking about the future, I've edited your post accordingly.
Could be.Bills have bigger issues than QB, no? Fitzpatrick to Johnson was a pretty good combo for them this year...89Hen wrote:I'd blame it on Carolina having the first pick, but doesn't the worst team in the league get the first pick every year?

Wrong...Danny Boy will go after Vince Young.89Hen wrote:BTW, this really F's the Skins who were hoping to get Mallet (they have to figure Luck and Newton would be gone by #10).
It's tough to be the shittiest team in the NFL two years in a row. It takes a lot of breaks. If the ball bounces differently in a game or two... you could easily drop out of the race.JMU DJ wrote:Just thought about this, Panthers fans shouldn't be getting upset about this. Yeah, you're going to suck again next year, but that means you'll have a second shot at getting Luck. Glass half full.
According to Peter King the NFL hasn't ruled out a rookie cap for this draft, he adds that the rookie cap is even very likely this year and that the #1 pick would probably be looking at 5 years and $15 million total.Skjellyfetti wrote:He's going to be pissed when he finds out there's going to be a rookie cap in 2012. I wonder how much money he misses out on?

Compare that to 6 years $78 million (50 guaranteed) Bradford got...
This may not be as dumb as it appears...this could indicate that a lockout is coming. If so, he gains nothing by coming out early. He could be a Lockear, or he could be a genius. We'll see, I think the lockout is more of a reason than getting his degree (which he could do at any time) or moving to Charlotte.BlueHen86 wrote:Dumb move. Wasn't Leinhart the projected number one pick after his junior year? Instead he stayed in college and his stock dropped. The fact that he turned out to be a bust won't help Luck either.
Getting a degree is great, but he'll never have to work if he gets a big NFL contract next year. I'm sure he has insurance, but I don't think it offsets the risk of injury.
He can go back and get his degree when he is doen playing football.
That is an interesting point. If that is the case it may indeed be a good move, but I still think I would have waited before saying anything on the subject either way. Of course, he can always change his mind so I guess we'll see.ASUMountaineer wrote:This may not be as dumb as it appears...this could indicate that a lockout is coming.
