Find out how Doug Baldwin finishes that sentence: http://www.nfl.com/videos/seattle-seahawks/09000d5d82303558/Who-s-Doug-Baldwin-The-leading-Seahawks-receiver

Mr. Baldwin is having himself quite an impressive start to his season.

Wow! That's a great piece and kudos to Baldwin for being articulate, bold, and assertive in his assessment of Luck's future. That says a lot about both of them and about Stanford and the seamless transition.

I'll admit it, I never expected this kind of performance from Baldwin. I kind of chalked up his performance last year as a bit of luck playing opposite Owusu, having the tight end trifecta, and catching balls from Luck. Shows how little I know.
And to think he was "this close" to dropping football. What a great story.

Baldwin certainly delivered the media goods on Luck :)Â He was a little less prepared with interesting answers to the other questions though...he can be forgiven for not yet having a deft touch with interviewers, but I sure hope he learns quickly and that well-deserved interviewers keep approaching him.

Nice comment but Luck hasn't had 1 game in the NFL yet. We'll see what happens. I'm afraid his expectations are so high he can only disappoint.

Some guys are late bloomers. Anybody that made the plays Baldwin made last year is a player. You simply don't get open, catch the ball and run with it like Baldwin did in 2010 if you don't have superior - NFL - ability.Â
I still maintain had he not been called for that absurd OPI against Oregon, that play would have put Stanford in the BCS Championship game. No way was Oregon stopping Stanford from inside the 10, and no way were they coming back from 14 on a team they could not stop at all.
Anyway, when you watch this, you won't be too surprised about Baldwin's NFL exploits. Pretty sweet video...

Baldwin had a very good sophomore season. He had something like five or six straight games with a play over 35 yards. Considering Tavita Pritchard was throwing the ball to him, that's quite a feat.
Trouble was, he had a bad junior season. There seemed to be some issues between Harbaugh and him, but fortunately that didn't get in the way of his stellar senior season.

If anybody reads Peter King's Monday Morning qb, he mentioned that he will focus Tuesday's column on Doug Baldwin. I'm expecting an interesting read.

Baldwin's opinion is not unique to the world at the moment. The latest Dolphin fan "Think Different. Suck for Luck" video is amazing.
That same video could easily be used to give to pollsters that are clearly struggling with the idea of voting for Stanford.
Edit:Â Here is the finsnation link. The "Think Different" video is now about the third to last entry.

friggin LOVE the the Think Different video. best Luck Worship video I have seen - and it's not done by a stanford media office, but a pissed-off DOLPHINS fan. in other words, objective worship. I've never seen the spearing of the SC guy after the fumble, or the Cattouse hit, look so good. Love it.

"I've never seen the spearing of the SC guy after the fumble, or the Cattouse hit . . ."
Estephan, where have you been? Those are probably the two best highlights of Luck's amazing career! The Luck hit after the fumble was ferocious - I'm convinced he knocked the guy out momentarily (watch his body go limp).
As for Luck's NFL career, it will all depend on whether or not he goes to a team with a decent OL. If he gets put behind a sieve, then his career could get squashed from the get-go. See Jim Plunkett (and any number of other "best college QBs" forced to run for their ever-loving lives as rookies). I pray Luck lands in a good situation. If so, he will be a great pro.
