It’s a risky move financially to put it mildly.
Luck was a lock to go first overall in the draft, and the delay makes the presence of a rookie wage scale when Luck is taken even more likely. Luck spoke often about wanting to graduate and improvements he felt like he still needed to make in his game. It wasn’t just lip service. (Peter King reported as much regarding Luck a few weeks ago.)
Still, Luck seems to be at a different talent level than someone like Jake Locker or Matt Leinart who returned for their senior seasons. By all indications, Luck’s draft stock is closer to Peyton Manning, who also returned for his senior season.
Luck had another week left before he had to make the decision. We wonder if the timing of this announcement could influence Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh’s decision to go pro again or not.
Harbaugh seems likely to leave, but there have already been a lot of surprising moments in the coaching search.
Well Carolina Panther fans, your season has ended, however, the losses just continue to roll in. Whether or not they would have taken Luck or not (Would have been ****ing crazy not to) is debatable, this pick had a lot of value in it from teams looking to trade up to get the top QB in the draft.
Now the question is does Harbaugh hang around Stanford one more year and take a shot at winning a National Championship. It's risky for both but I still think they'd both be hot commodities again next year. Harbaugh would even benefit more from returning a year and proving he isn't just a one year wonder.

Good talk. :y: LA should be getting their team soon, probably as soon as that stadium they are building is finished. Probably going to be stealing the Vikings away from Minnesota.

They might take St. Louis i've heard.
Cam Newton declared for the draft. Don't really think he's ready for it though. He can run on his feet, but he isn't NFL qb material with his arm.

Not sure about St. Louis, haven't really heard much about their stadium and such. I know Minnesota is trying to get a new stadium and have even brought up LA in the talks if they don't get a new one. One thing for sure is there is going to be a team in LA sooner rather than later.
As for Newton, I don't think he fits as a QB, but I think he made the right decision to come out. Got a feeling someone is going to take him in the first round. Unlike Luck, I think Newton would have trouble repeating the success he had this year and would hurt his stock by coming back for another year.
