Sources: Panthers to pick Andrew Luck

[eaglezoners]

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- If Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck decides to enter the 2011 draft, the Carolina Panthers will take him, two high-ranking team officials said Tuesday.

A redshirt sophomore, Luck finished his season in Monday night's Discover Orange Bowl and has until Jan. 15 to declare if he will enter the draft. Although there have been reports indicating Luck may choose to stay in college, the Panthers remain optimistic he will turn pro.

Was watching ESPN First Take today, they had a debate who will be more successful in the NFL, Luck vs. Newton. What do you guys think?

wait wat about clausen? I swear i thought carolina had him

 

[jho]

I heard Luck is staying in Stanford?

 

[liamkg]

Yeah he's staying I think it's the right choice the uncertainty about next season and the thought of playing for Carolina were just to much even for Luck

I agree. Luck wants his degree from Stanford and has a father who played in the NFL, so he's in no hurry to get drafted by a pitiful team like the Panthers. I think he will still be the first pick in the NFL draft when he decides to go pro.
