It looks like Miami is making a big play for him, as in big $$.  I hear they're
willing to offer him something like $8 million a year.  (Of course there's
also the minor detail that they haven't fired their current coach yet.)

> and if Luck would be willing to pull an "Elway" the 49ers would take 
> him as well! 

Yeah, I suspect there aren't very many teams who wouldn't take Luck if he
said he would only go there, unless the price to pay for that privilege
was just too high.  I was never an Elway fan because of that stunt,
and I still cheer against the Broncos.

And there's no guarantee that he'll succeed (or stay healthy) in the NFL.  
For every Elway, there are several QBs who fall short of expectations, 
like Vince Young did in Tennessee.  Remember Tim Couch or Ryan Leaf?

And the possibility of a full season NFL work stoppage is high enough that 
it could really hurt the under-classmen who decide to go this year, because 
a year from now there will another crop of talented players to draft.
