yungmack Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I thought some of you might like to read a little bit about Andrew Luck of Stanford who I think just might be the best pro prospect QB in college. http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-0822-andrew-luck-20100822,0,3500844.story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Luck looks great but at least 2 things will keep him from being a Bill, (hope Im wrong). 1. He is not a 3 year starter and from what Ive seen of the way Nix drafts that is a big deal. 2. I think the Bills will actually pick in the mid teens and unless they trade way down, which they dont seem to want to do, Luck will be long gone.

DanInUticaTampa Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 1 stanford QB is enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Bill Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) Thanks. Luck, Locker, Ponder, Pryce, Mallett, . . . Stanzi, Devlin, Foles, Tolzien, Enderle, Johnson, Dalton, Keenum, Riley, Gabbert . . . next year's draft should be fun to watch -- not to mention this year's college football season!

The Senator Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Yeah, wouldn't want the Bills to get stuck with a bum like John Elway or Jim Plunkett. You are saying that because Elway and Plunkett are ProBowl QBs and Superbowl winners, that ALL Stanford QBs are ProBowl QBs and Superbowl winners? In that case, we should be all set with Edwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) He's not gonna come out unless Harbaugh leaves. Edited August 23, 2010 by C.Biscuit97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, we should be all set with Edwards That's not what the dude was saying. He was saying that you shouldn't discount Stanford QBs just because Trent hasn't worked out because others (Elway and Plunkett) have succeeded. It was pretty straight forward actually.

TucsonEd Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I see Locker/Luck every year in the Pac-10. Luck is the better pro, by far. Locker=Tebow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I see Locker/Luck every year in the Pac-10. Luck is the better pro, by far. Locker=Tebow. Thats an interesting view. Now we will for sure take him since Chan likes running QB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I see Locker/Luck every year in the Pac-10. Luck is the better pro, by far. Locker=Tebow. Locker is a much better passer than Tebow. Also, Locker plays with no talent at Washington. He carries that team by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nateodoms'bff Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Theres no way that Luck comes out this year. To many things stacked against him I think. The accuracy needs to come up, he needs to finish stronger in games, going 8-5 in the Pac-10 is fine, but in the NFL, he's going to need to learn how to put a team on his shoulders and carry them to victory. His body of work, though impressive, is small. He needs more experience plain and simple. Plus, smart kids like him don't leave an Ivy League school 2 years early to play pro ball. Maybe at an SEC school or even USC, but not Stanford. Harbaugh has a lot invested in him, and I don't think he'll let him go so easily. There is also the labor agreement. What kid is going to sacrifice his college career (both academic and athletic) to possibly sit out an entire year with no practice or training. I think the draft class of 2011 is going to be limited to seniors and redshirted juniors. But thats just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 The last two QB's that amounted to anything as rookies were Flacco for the Ravens and Ryan for the Falcons. One played 1AA football and the other played in the ACC. So color me skeptical that Mr luck will amount to anything. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 1. He is not a 3 year starter and from what Ive seen of the way Nix drafts that is a big deal. Nix drafted Marcus Easley, who was a one-year starter, in the 4th round. Just because Nix PREFERS to draft players with a proven track record doesn't mean that he won't break that rule, given other more overriding factors. It would depend more on what draft grade the Bills gave him, how grave our QB situation might be, and if/where he was available when we drafted. 1 stanford QB is enough for me. Yeah 'cause everyone knows that if one player at one position from one college doesn't work out, every other player like him will fail. That's really deep, Dan. Yeah, wouldn't want the Bills to get stuck with a bum like John Elway or Jim Plunkett. You are saying that because Elway and Plunkett are ProBowl QBs and Superbowl winners, that ALL Stanford QBs are ProBowl QBs and Superbowl winners? In that case, we should be all set with Edwards Drinking early Senator? You might want to re-check your logic flow chart. The last two QB's that amounted to anything as rookies were Flacco for the Ravens and Ryan for the Falcons. One played 1AA football and the other played in the ACC. So color me skeptical that Mr luck will amount to anything. PTR Promo, I love you and all but I don't really know what relevance your comment has. Yes, most rookie QBs have modest debut seasons. That's no reason to not draft them. You draft a quarterback if you think he will develop into a franchise quarterback, not if you think he'll set the league on fire his rookie year. Your remark would have greater weight if you mentioned that Ryan and Flacco were 5th year seniors or if you invoked the Parcells' Rule for judging quarterbacks. Luck's dad had a long NFL career. Luck is being coached by one of the foremost QB coaches in existence. He has all the measurables and so it only remains to see if he has all the intangibles. He certainly has the pedigree. Aside from the fact that he probably won't declare for 2011, Luck is looking like a can't miss prospect…regardless if he arrives during his rookie season, year two, or year three. That was exactly what all of the analysts said about Trent when the Bills drafted him. No they didn't. They said Trent was a good player on a bad team. No one ever accused Trent of "carrying his team" because he didn't. What a strange thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Trent was a 3rd rounder. Locker might have been the #1 overall pick as a junior. There is no comparison between the 2. When you noted that Trent was a 3rd rounder and Locker might be the #1 overall, you know what you did? You made a comparison between the two.

stony Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 That was exactly what all of the analysts said about Trent when the Bills drafted him. Analysts said Trent was a bright spot on a bad team. They never said he carried that Stanford squad because as we all know, he was hurt quite a bit. Locker has beat top 10 teams with little help. Is he a surefire prospect? No. But what quarterback is.
