yeah I was just thinking the same thing.. and now I'm not as pissed that the Broncos started winning a couple games towards the end when the Panthers lost one.

I don't understand why Luck would do this. Even with a good insurance policy, one freak hit can cost him a lot of money.
Given the way that Locker struggled this year after being a potential #1 overall, even without a major injury.
On the cynical side of my brain, I think Luck should take the money and run.
On the optimistic side of my brain, I think Luck should get into the NFL and start working on a HoF career.

My thoughts on it are:
1. If I were Luck, I'd enter the draft and complete my education on the side, during off-seasons
2. This is probably not a business decision; he comes from a relatively well-off family, so has no pressing need for money, and probably has the confidence that he can earn a good living even without football. If he enjoys the college life while being in his early 20s, well, he can never have that back again.
3. It would be more than a little hilarious if he returned to Stanford and didn't play football...just took classes. That way, he finishes his degree and doesn't risk an injury.

I think he's stupid for staying. The guy could be the #1 overall pick and you should never pass that up.

He's stupid for staying if he thinks that this decision maximizes the dollars he'll make. It's not stupid if there are things he values more than the absolute highest monetary payoff.
Regardless of what happens, he's unlikely to be hurting for money. Barring injury, he'll be the #1 pick next year. Even with injury, he might still be the #1 pick next year if he shows he's recovered, as Sam Bradford showed. Even with catastrophic injury, he clearly has more going for him than football.

UGH! I wish the owner would sell the team. He's a meddling dumb ass and no player or coach wants to work for him.
At least tickets will be cheap next year.

My thoughts exactly. Rodgers brothers, Luck, James, and Thomas all back.

I was just gonna say that. It pains me, as well, but they are young and if they get decent QB play then they could be a factor.

The QB class next year doesn't look great so he's still in good shape. Matt Barkley is the only guy that could challenge him for #1 overall as of right now.
I don't think it's that big of a deal. He could actually use more starts under his belt as 1st round picks with 36+ starts have fared much better than guys with less starts then that number. He'll be fine.
And Oregon will own the PAC 10 next year. The receiving class coming in is nastyyyyyyyyyyy.

Didn't Thomas start a game before this season?

No. You should go read the article on Thomas on ESPN. It's a good read. He played in a couple games two seasons ago, he redshirted last year, and he was named the starter this year.

It really doesn't matter. They'll be in contention for him next year.

That would be quite the kick in the teeth to whomever drafts first next year. I'd be amazed if delayed entering the NFL for another year, considering he's scheduled to get his degree prior to next year's draft. Maybe he wants a fifth year of college fun, but I have a have hard time believing that will happen.

Co-sign.
Seriously though, he's already got a degree in architectural design by then. He can get laid earning 10-mil a year as an NFL pro or 15-mil a year owning an architectural firm.
Either way, he'll get tons of sex.

49ers should trade their pick this year and their 1st next year to Carolina for their first and Luck should change his mind and come out. He could be re-united with Harbaugh and he could take night classes in Palo Alto.

Right. I'm on board for that world, though.
