All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host. Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.

Thoughts?

For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

I guess it all depends on how much in love Carolina is with Clausen. They have bigger needs then Buffalo. Denver won't take him.

Re: Could the Bills get Luck with the 3rd pick?

Carolina almost has to take him if he declares for the draft, the guy is the clear #1 pick at the most important position in the sport. Financially, he gives them a face to market the team around and get the fanbase excited. The new coach gets his QB to build around. It is a no-brainer.

I highly down they trade down. If they trade down, it would have to be an overwhelming package, probably more than the Eli Manning deal. Probably it would have to include both this year's and next year's first, along with multiple extra picks in both drafts. Even then, I doubt they make the trade. They take the player.

At the end of the day, you take the potential franchise QB if he is there. Luck is perfect for the NFL. He has the tools, has been groomed in a pro style, and is about as stable character-wise as you find. He is the sure-fire #1.

The idea they won't take him because of Clausen is laughable.

It is a definite possibility. Both teams ahead of us selected QB's high in the draft last year. However, Carolina is going new staff which will have no ties to Claussen and could potentially go QB with the top pick, but its more likely that they either go with another position or trade out of the number 1 spot for more picks. Denver is bringing in Elway to work in the front office. Why is that important? he went to Stanford. Yeah, they have Tebow, but they might be tempted to take a chance at Luck if he is seen as a potential elite QB.

The 3 part of this equation are the teams that are sitting just behind us in the draft that could try to trade up to get him if he gets past Carolina. It would take a lot to move up to the number 2 slot, but it's not unheard of for teams to give up considerable amounts of collateral to move up and get their guy. The bottom line is, we have a really good shot, but it will be nail biter all the way to the 3rd pick for anyone hoping this team gets Luck. JMO

Re: Could the Bills get Luck with the 3rd pick?

No way Carolina passes on Luck. You do not pass up on a talent like that. I am a season ticket holder of the Panthers and Claussen sucks. I know he is was only a rookie but he looked terrible. All the talk here in Charlotte is about Luck and if he comes out. The Panthers would have to be offered a ton to even consider it but even then I doubt they do it. He is once a decade QB. The only team that could offer enough to get Luck would be New England who has two first round picks and the first pick of the second round.
I would love Buffalo to get him however I just do not see it.

Carolina takes him unless somebody in the top 5-7 offers them a Ricky Williams package for the pick. And nobody is that stupid...I hope.

COMING SOON...

Re: Could the Bills get Luck with the 3rd pick?

Myself personally, Cam Newton could be the wild card in all this because its very possible his stock could rise high enough in the eyes of the Panthers thus enabling us to swap positions in the draft (or QB's.)

The question becomes how much would Buffalo be willing to give up to make the swap.

There are a few mocks that have Luck going 3rd or 4th.

You should immediately disregard those then, because they are not at all credible.
