He doesn't need to throw, by all account he probably shouldn't throw because he has nothing to gain.
But, a lot of people, myself included would gain a ton of respect for him if he does throw.

It would be great if all the top prospects started throwing at the combine.
I hope,like Cam Newton, all top QB prospects decide to throw from now on.

The only negative I can see is if he's not ready or has not been working out, which I doubt is the problem. The other negative is him throwing to WR's he's not worked with and could make him look bad.

But does it really matter? If the Colts are set on taking Luck then it shouldn't matter if he sucks it up or if he comes out blazing. The Colts would be better served to tell him not to run the 40 so he doesn't hurt his foot or knee or hammie.

The only other negative you can think of 'looking bad' would be a rather large negative.
And that is the exact reason why most top QB prospects don't throw at the combine if they can get away with it and Luck certainly could.

If Luck chooses to compete in the throwing sessions at the combine he takes on the needless risk of being upstaged; the risk of not throwing or looking like the best QB prospect on the field.

Keep in mind I'm not saying the above will happen.
I'm just pointing out the chief 'negative' if Luck chooses to compete at the combine when he can wait til his pro-day.
Now, if Luck does choose to compete it will say a lot about his personality and competitive spirit; it will be ballsy.

I hope the kid goes out there and just grips it and rips it! let the cards fall where they may.
Go out there and show you've got nothing to hide.
Compete shoulder to shoulder with the other QB prospects.
It will continue a great precedent started by Cam Newton.
