What the LUCK!

He's going back to school!?! Not sure how smart that is.

Andrew Luck

I guess he didn't want to go to Carolina.

Leinart may have been the #1 pick and after staying another season, he went #10 overall.

Jake Locker may have been the #1 pick last year and after staying another season, some people have him
going in the 2nd round.

With a rookie salary cap on the horizon, this is a risky move.

Andrew Luck skipping NFL draft, will return to Stanford Cardinal - ESPN

Sucks for us. Pushes one less guy down. I commend him for staying in school, BUT at the same time, i hope he stays healthy next year!

Sucks to be Carolina.

Just wanted to say that. They were really getting agitated about getting him, now they will keep the Clausen experiment going I suppose. I don´t like him.

Maybe Andrew Luck really doesn't want to play for Carolina.

Maybe he felt the possibility of a lockout and no NFL games was not worth the risk of not being able to play football for a year.

It worked out well for Jake Locker and Matt Leinhart.

Also means one less player to be pushed down the board to New England.

Naaaahhh...just wait until ESPN has completed their full dose of hype for the next guy. Every year it's a quarterback who is in a completely different class than everyone else. Three months ago, Luck was a mid-first to early-second round pick and Locker was the best prospect since John Elway. In mid-November, it was Mallett. By April, it will be either Newton, Gabbert, or some late bloomer like Cutler or Flacco, who suddenly cannot possibly be passed on.

I imagine this will turn Cam Newton into the flavor of the month, as long as he has a good game vs. Oregon.

Labor dispute, wanting to get his degree...yeah, I can't blame him for staying.

More like 50 million. If you are the #1 pick, I'm not sure how you can decide to stay in school and risk another year. All it takes is someone rolling up on your knee, or simply a slight decline. Locker was going top 5 last year. This year I'm not even sure he'll go in the first round.

You think teams draft on ESPN hype? NFL scouts>McShay and Kiper Jr.

I know this has been pointed out before, but Schefter reminds via Twitter:

"Had Peyton Manning come out early he would have been a NY Jet. Instead returned to school, became a Colt. 1 decision, 2 franchises affected"

Sadly, it seems like some do.

Re: What the LUCK!

Dumbest decision ever

If a rookie cap comes into play or he gets hurt he has blown a ridiculous opporunity
