Coach Tuesday Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Is anyone else watching this kid right now? He looks like Peyton Manning out there. How ironic is it that his name is Luck, and we need him, and we're the most snakebitten sports franchise in sports history? I'm starting to think we should go 0-16 next year, and the year after, until this kid comes out. He is gonna be special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewfla Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 He does look great. I would love if we could protect him like that too but he is making all of the throws and very accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 we need some MOORE help we should take a MALLETT to the rest of afc east  but seriously... i'm flipping back and forth from ESPN (mallett) to ABC (luck)  and i am very impressed with both, this is the first game i have seen luck play and i am very happy.  if we have our pick of the litter for QBs and our scouts/Ralph/GM/overdorf and company etc..mess this up i will lose my mind.

Â I sure hope this kid finds his way into a Bills uniform. Â Franchise QB...enough said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I have watched a good number on Stanford games this season, and I swear he is getting better every game. He just looks more and more confident. He even looks like a pro handing the ball off. I really think he has pulled himself above the other QBs in NCAA (other than the Newton phenomenon).

machinegun12 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I have seen a few of both Luck's and Mallett's games, and I've come to a conclusion. This is 1998 all over again. Luck is Manning. Mallett is Leaf. Period. If we have the 1st pick and Luck comes out, let's not over think this decision.

dayman Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Luck is perfect for us. Perfect size, good arm, nice brain, and a name w/ the headline pre-written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Just that all the attention of QBs has been focused on Newton due to Auburn's record and his sick stats.... and now the contraversy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinegun12 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 The comparison is apt. There is much to Ponder... I haven't seen Ponder much at all, the one game I saw early in the season he looked AWFUL. I'm not going to judge him on one performance, I would love to hear people's opinion on him if they've seen him at any length. He seems to me like a guy that could be had in the 2nd or 3rd round from what I've heard... Â I think it's amazing how highly touted Locker was all last year and even the beginning of this year and now he isn't even mentioned in the discussion! I think all that attention was based on potential and hype, he has yet at any point shown to me to be a QB at the next level. He struggles mightily in games vs tough competition, and that always turns me off about college QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010   i'm flipping back and forth from ESPN (mallett) to ABC (luck)  and i am very impressed with both  Same here...  Honestly watching these 2 I don't see how The Bills could go wrong with either...Mallett's arm is ridiculous though...And I know Mallett takes a lot of flack for being immobile, but I think he's shown the ability to move around in the pocket just enough vs. SC's Pass Rush...  I'm not saying he has the same ability, but for whatever reason Luck reminds me of Peyton Manning...Maybe it's his footwork, I'm not sure...  I swear I don't care...just get one of them...It's glaringly obvious these 2 elevate the Play of their teammates...I'm not saying either is going to be the next Manning cause let's face it, it's a crap shoot no matter what...But it will give The Bills an excitement from a Player coming in they have not had since #12...And right now that's PLENTY enough for me...

Bill from NYC Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 This is 1998 all over again. Luck is Manning. Mallett is Leaf. Period. Â Your stance is quite strong, but I am going to respectfully disagree. Â Admittedly, my record wrt qbs isn't great; I pay more attention to blockers. That said, Mallett is the most talented QB I have seen in decades. He makes throws that do not seem possible for humans to make. He comes with risk, but he seems more suited for Buffalo than any QB I have ever seen. Â I would like to watch Mallett throw 40 yard square outs, 70 yard bombs, and 25 yard check downs to Buffalo Bills receivers. Sounds good, no?

May Day 10 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Im not really down on Gailey or anything.... Â But can we get Luck/Harbough as a package deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 seriously there is a very good chance Mallet/ Luck at least 1 of them will be a future pro-bowler. they just seem to have so much talent and potential. i just hope to heck the bills choose wisely. Â if you think things are bad now... imagine the mentality here if we have Ryan Leaf v. 2.0 for the next 5 years. good God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I think it's amazing how highly touted Locker was all last year and even the beginning of this year and now he isn't even mentioned in the discussion! Â I'm hoping that Luck sees this and it motivates him to come out. It's been said that Locker was possibly the number one pick if he came out last year. Surely, top three - now he won't be top three rounds probably. Â I also wonder if the labor problems would make Luck decide to come out, before a rookie salary cap. Â I think those are our only two hopes with him (I guess a third one is that Harbaugh leaves and he says screw it). I know his father (Oliver Luck - former NFL backup and now WVU AD) has said that he should stay in school, and I think Andrew has said as much.
