The OFFICIAL Andrew Luck Sweepstakes Thread

[Hasselbeck]

Sure the race to the Super Bowl will be fun... but for fans of crappy teams, the race for Andrew Luck could be just as exciting. I expect as a Seahawks fan to be in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes until the end.. but it will be a heated race between the worst of the worst to land the most prized QB prospect in the last decade.

Your Andrew Luck sweepstakes standings as of October 4.

i really think the redskins could go 0-16 this year...

They will beat Dallas at least once. Happens every...fucking...year.

 

[Rush]

Luck plays Duke tomorrow...he'll throw 12 TD's

 

[1ke]

Silly Carolina, they were awful a year too early.

Unfortunately

Not a chance. Their schedule is pretty soft and they still have enough talent on the team to win 5 games or so.

Your sweepstakes favorites IMO:
Cincinnati
Seattle
Buffalo (although they could surprise)
Carolina (they'd take Luck in a heartbeat barring Newton being a mega-star)

 

[steeljake]

cincy in a good choice, one that i am sure mr. luck wants to avoid.

Luck will def. pull an "Eli Manning" with any of those teams that aren't Seattle. To be realistic Carolina won't take a QB with their pick. Cincinnati is the FRONT runner by a TON. That's why I'd take "the Field" on this one. Some team will jump up in the draft and snag him! *COUGH* San Francisco *Cough*

Luck is still a junior. I can't remember, do they have to declare before the #1 spot is set?
If it's Cincinnati, you can be sure Luck will just go back to school.

It won't be Buffalo, I think Buffalo could even get to 8 wins this year. If Newton sucks, it could be Carolina, but with those two RBs there's no reason for that team not to be competitive (again, if Newton doesn't suck).

I don't buy Cincy, I think Dalton will be ok because of Benson and this team was pretty good two years ago. I think they'll rebound.

Seattle is my pick - what they have done with the QB position the past two years is baffling. Giving up premium picks for a practice squad QB, dumping a proven veteran coming off a great playoff upset for a guy who couldn't get wet if he fell out of a boat. Again, baffling.

nope....they will win 5 or 6 games......

 

[Juggernaut]

Seattle should get Luck. Would be great for them to land him.

you must not have counted last year

 

he is a senior

 

[Sharkweather]

you must not have counted last year

 

he is a senior

08 - redshirt
09 - freshman
10 - sophomore
11 - junior

 

[dave]

he still has another year of eligibility but

OKAY

Wanted to groan you for being stupid, but I suffer from the same affliction, so you get a "get out of jail free" card here.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Hass is really excited about Luck. You get the feeling he might be rooting against the Seahags this year.

I don't get it. I mean, why sign a guy like T. Jackson if you plan on drafting a big time QB? Only room for one sheriff, you know?

 

[stevsta]

I guess the stanford site has it wrong

and the espn site

ah you guys are saying hes a RS (Junior) aka a senior with junior elgibility

I was saying he is a senior not a junior

 

[Aso]

The 49ers have a definite shot. They suck.

Luck has already said he's not returning for his senior season. He graduates from Stanford this year... so he'll be in the draft.

Matt Barkley and Landry Jones are two other underclassmen that figure to join him in the draft next April.

And Pittsburgh throws there hat in the ring, maybe if we are forced to put hines ward at O line this year due to other injuries we'll have a good shot at Luck
