Thank goodness you're not the Redskins.

what kind of logic is that?

[SBXVII]

On another site someone mentioned that Mike and Mike had talked about a team drafting Luck anyway and being able to hold the rights to him even though he doesn't come out this year. It was bantered about that there might not be a NFL rule on doing that but others felt that either

A- the team who drafted him would lose his right next draft and he would be placed right back in for next yrs draft. or

B- Teams can't draft a player who has not declared because the NFL does not follow the NBA rules and basically the team would be throwing away a draft pick.

So my question to you all is:

Could Luck wait till after the draft then declare himself for the supplimental draft? and if he can would it change anything in regards to what teams can go after him?

I'm thinking he probably doesn't want to play for the Panthers knowing he owner is cheap or something and maybe worked out a deal with Harbaugh that he would declare after the draft. Why? Maybe it would be too much for the 49ers to give up to trade with the Panthers to go after him but in the supplimental draft the 49ers could offer whatever which would hurt them till the following draft anyway. In other words the 49ers could offer a 1st round pick.

Could this be a possibility? or would the Panthers still get first dibbs on him since they did so bad?

Luck already said that staying in school had nothing to do with being drafted by the panthers.

trust me, its not the greater half, I've been ripped apart too many times on this site for daring to mention this outcome being positive.

I really hope we don't have to hear this junk all season. NFL teams don't tank seasons. It's just absurd.

I agree! People, stop acting like this is the NBA! This team should try their hardest and let the chips fall where they may.

I absolutely agree. But if we're going to miss the playoffs (which I'd say is a strong possibility), I'd rather it be with a 2-14 or 3-13 record and the #1 overall pick to land Luck than 6-10 or 7-9 and end up in the 12-15 range. I'm not saying I want us to mail it in, nor do I think we or any other team would. But no playoffs is no playoffs. I'd prefer the #1 pick to be our consolation prize.

Go root for an NBA team if you want to tank Cowboys fan.

Players will not tank because they want either a roster spot, a payday, or both.
Coaches won't tank because their jobs are on the freaking line.
Only GMs can deliberately weaken their team to the point of suckage, and even then, tanking is INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT because the players and coaches will always want to win.

[freddyg12]

IF we're going to talk about the presumed 2012 draft, let's not talk about tanking, let's talk about what Danny & Bruce have up their sleeve to land one of the QBs. It's way too early to talk about that, but come draft time next year I'm sure they will be on the phones looking into everything. I have confidence in Bruce Allen that he could pull off a crazy deal to move up if anybody can.

The "Suck to get Luck" strategy is for moonbats and fruitcakes.
Probably the same people that think Sept. 11 was an inside job.
