I admire what he is doing but...the comment about the NFL isn’t going anywhere is wrong if he gets injured to the point where he can’t play the game anymore.

yea, this really bummed me out when I heard about it this morning.
I don't think Pouncey will be there when we draft now

This is great news. All they talk about in Charlotte is Luck saving them. These guys talk like he is the savior of football as we know it. It will be entertaining hearing these guys cry on the radio on my way to work.

Luck was top 3 on the draft chart. How does one guy change everything for us? I wonder if Pouncey is even seen as a first round talent given his struggle with snaps.

I know he won't be a C in the pro's but I think it still knocks him down a bit for teams that want a C/G.

Huge mistake i would say...Luck would have been a No.1 pick and Panthers are not that bad organization. I know education is important and stuff but at what price??

He is going to lose close to 40 million dollars. Rookie salary Cap will come in place, question is when and i assume it will start from 2012 unless someone told Luck that rookie salary cap will be in place from 2011 onwards. If Rookie salary cap will be from 2011 then it does not make much of difference if he stays in college.

Jim Harbaugh is going to Miami...3 O-Lineman are graduating. Not sure how Stanford running game will be next season.

how doesn't it? I know this can be confusing and all but the domino effect..
and even with his struggles he's still rated the #1 center at this point. and with how dominant he was against PSU it just solidified his spot.

I called it Ryan Mallett #1 overall.

This does suck .......he may be in Cleveland or Cincinnati next year

People say Ryan Mallet has single digit IQ....I hope Bungles draft him with their pick....

I would say A J Green has a good chance of becoming No.1 pick if Steve Smith is leaving Panthers.

Draft will be interesting now...

Well, maybe the kid wants to play football next year. If the indications are that the NFL players will be locked out next season, it doesn't do him any good to join a team just to sit.

I remember talking AJ Hawk's dad about this when he was a Junior. AJ would have been considered a first round pick that year if he had come out. He ended up being the 5th pick the next year. Heck, with the money you would make you could pay for your own school should something go awry.
