The Ballad of Luke Carney

The Ballad of Luke Carney

A totally mishandled season

A totally mishandled season

Literally mind boggling when you look at how they played him, like ufo weird crap

The Ballad of Luke Carney

Now is a time of great decision
Are we to stay or up and quit
There's no avoiding this conclusion
Our team is turning into spit

But, he didn't say "spit"

Well, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Duck are the 4 guys in the QB room.

My only hypothesis would be he doesn't want to get injured while doing a redshirt year but he's a team player so when our starter throws a million interceptions he's willing to come in for a drive or two but doesn't want to throw and risk getting hurt with this OL.

Idk the whole situation is insane.

They're not giving him opportunities to throw the damn ball. I'm beyond frustrated watching this.

 

[Scooch]

I find it wild that a player, or his family, wouldn’t want to play as a freshman. What was the point of coming here early if it was just to redshirt? Hell, he should have done a PG year if that was the case.

The whole situation is weird.

That's why I think someone(s maybe?) is not being completely truthful.

Oh I agree with that. We dont know that real story. And no one is offering to tell it. But nothing adds up here.

 

[BVille44]

I thought for sure Fran would play Carney for the entire BC game to give him some experience in the event he needs to play next year.

My assumption now is Carney is going in the portal.

 

[OrangeAl]

I was really looking forward to Luke getting the start vs. BC. What's there to look forward to now? The return of Rickie?

Play for a couple series each game?

 

[CanadianSU]

Someone in the know here really needs to be spill the tea on this because this whole thing is just utterly bizarre.

Bait and switch.

We recruited Luke Carney.

We got Art Carney.

so he can have 4 eligible years at his next school or schools when he transfers

 

[Scooch]

I understand the math. What school is clamoring for him after this season? If he had some good tape then there might be suitors for him.

 

[SuFTW]

He doesn’t need schools to be clamoring for him, he just needs one to take him, likely based on his high school tape and stats. And since he doesn’t seem to be ready to play yet, he will benefit from an extra/ redshirt year of eligibility at the end of his college career.

I'll preface this with this is 100% pure speculation and it's based on hearsay but mysteries like this very much intrigue me so I'm going to give it a shot.

Things we've seen:
1. Carney is on a wildly short leash
2. His first appearance was at Colgate when Rickie's helmet came off (not when Rickie got pulled for throwing an FCS Int, the starter actually came back in), and on that one play he immediately scored a TD and then disappeared.
3. The team confirmed the redshirt.
4. He's been kept out of obvious throwing situations and his redshirt was burned in just about the most useless way possible.
5. Luke said he would've re-evaluated the redshirt if he got the UNC start, but literally the walk-on got it over him.

The limited rumors we've heard:
6. Luke Carney's dad is somehow connected.
7. The team has suffered parent involvement issues that started around Game 3.

Game 3 was, notably, Colgate. If I'm Carney Sr and watched Rickie's rather emetic performance against Colgate, along with the staff's apparent disregard for Carney as an option, I'd be pissed. At the same time, if I'm Nixon, and if a dad started messing with my work? At that point I'd do well to keep the situation at arm's length.

Again, I'm jumping to conclusions here, but it's too curious a situation for me to not think about it.

All I am going to ask this for all the Carney fans, in his limited action, did he even look like he was close to being the answer? At best, he looked like a true freshman developmental project. We found ourselves in a situation that behind Angeli, all we had was developmental projects and that is a recipe and a good predictor of what we actually saw!

Sure. And that school will be... G6? FCS? Do we think he's going to a B1G or SEC school?

The way people are demanding he throws the ball makes it seem he’s the next Joe Montana. We better watch out. Nd wants payback from us taking Angeli

In all seriousness, the way he's been handled this year (since January) is utterly bizarre. I suppose it's possible some B12 team likes his HS tape and offers him a spot with very little NIL money attached.
