Thats what he said

 

Are you sure that's a she?

 

try again

 

You are setting yourself up for disappointment. We have NO CHANCE WHATSOEVER at Andrew Luck.

Tune in tonight to watch a franchise guarantee themselves almost 30 straight years of good quarterback play.

 

whats ur hunch SEC?, you think the Ploian is up to something, like not going out and signing a competant level QB?

 

I think Polian realizes that one bad season is worth trading for 30 straight years of good QB play.

I am jealous that Colts fans got to see Peyton Manning and then follow him with the best QB prospect since......Peyton Manning. It almost doesn't seem fair.

It is why I think a Lottery system for the top 5 picks is needed for the NFL draft. Too easy to tank.

 

oh..and it gets better...if Peyton can play still..Luck gets to learn for a year or two under Peyton Manning. It is just unreal.

 

he's come out and said, that he believes his team will not be in the running for the pick, he said he doesn't want to know that his team is that bad to secure the #1 spot.

 

Let's assume Peyton is fully recovered by next season (or better yet, the upcoming off season). How many more years do you think Peyton can play at a level commensurate with last season? You're suggesting "a year or two", but if he comes back 100%, I'd be willing to bet he's got another 4-5 seasons left in the tank. I say that because even though he will be 36 at the start of the next season, he's the ultimate competitor, and he wants to play for as long as he can before he hangs 'em up.

And, there in lies the rub and Polian's problem. In other words, if he waits until Peyton's close to retirement, or worse yet...in the event he's forced to retire, they may not be ready with a replacement QB when he does step down. And, if they draft a QB the caliber of Luck, Peyton's potentially gonna be looking over his shoulder if his play starts to decline. And Luck is gonna be chomping at the bit to get his chance to play. It could be a repeat of what went down in GB a few years ago when their FO had to decide between Favre and Rodgers. Of course, that worked out just fine for GB, but it didn't change the fact that they basically forced an icon and the face of the franchise out of town at the time. I just don't see Indy doing the same thing with Peyton.

Having said that, if Indy has the #1 overall pick next year, I think it's a pretty safe bet they take Luck. Which brings us right back to what you said..."it is just unreal."

 

I think the only question for Indy is how confident they are in Peyton's recovery. If let's say every doctor tells you that he is fine and that he can play indefinitely, do you take Luck, a player who will not help you right away, or do you take Matt Kalil or Juston Blackmon and try and squeeze out another SB or two under Manning?

It's not a cut and dry decision.

 

Colts trying to pull a '97 Spurs...

 

That's what she said

 

well depite what everybody else thinks I would be very excited to get Brandon Weeden and then focus all our attention on defensive end, and d tackle and use the later rd picks on oline or defensive backs.


here iw why Weeden is my choice , first he is mature , he has a quick release , and a cannon of a arm which he really is a cross between Marino and Greise.

I know people may not like him after the 1st half of the a&m game but the guy rebounds and that is something our qbs cant do .

Landry Jones is a very good qb i would not be pissed if we drafted him .

i just hope we dont waste another first rd pick on a damn offensive linemen when other teams have gotten better olinemen then we did in the later rounds of the draft.

 

So, you're saying you were looking for something bigger?

 

They will Draft Andrew Luck with the 1st pick if they have it. contract or no contract through 2015. Peyton will be 36 and is losing arm strength. at best he has 2 years left, which lets them get out from under his contract rather nicely.

 

Indy should draft Luck and trade Peyton. They would likely get more compensation for Manning.

 

That is a great option as well.

A team that has a small window to get it done, will gladly toss a 2nd round pick or maybe even a 1st rounder the Colts way.

In fact...I could see the Jets just tossing up their hands and saying..you know what? Mark Sanchez sucks, here, have a 2nd rounder for Peyton.

 

Sorry Section126, Indy did not look like a team in the Luck sweepstakes last night. They played hard. Damn hard.

You might think there's some big Indy tanking conspiracy spearheaded by Polian, but nobody told the players on the field. Indy might end up with a pick in the top 5, but they're too talented to be in the mix for Luck.

 

This is not some new revelation. Some of us have been saying for the past 2 months that if Manning misses the season or most of it, the Colts are the most likely landing spot for Luck.

 

did you see the defenses they played? They were in a Prevent style 3 deep for most of the game! did you see their substitution patterns? it was a joke.

Tampa Bay was trying to lose, and Indy still couldn't pull it off. Indy was in Pre-season mode with as many players as they played last night.

They are a LOCK for Luck. They go 2-14 and get him. We go 6-10 and get a New Starting Right Guard.

 

Section, you certainly stick to your guns, even when you're wrong.

Tampa was trying to lose? Huh? Yes, they were playing a soft zone, but that's silly to "blame" Indy's good play on Tampa. Obviously, Tampa's coaches thought that they couldn't match up on-on-one with all of Indy's offensive firepower, so they tried to keep everything in front of them. Just because Section126 doesn't agree with their defensive strategy doesn't mean they were trying to lose!

Indy has some excellent talent and will win ballgames. Not getting Luck.

 

sure. they will win ballgames as in plural..as in Two games.

and I am not wrong. It is MY OPINION. Just like your opinion is that Indy is so talented that they go from Super Bowl contenders to Suck for Luck contenders while missing ONE guy. Yep. It takes talent to do that.

 

Then we'll win one. :up:

 

BTW, Opinions are not wrong..when they are plausible. I would say that 0-4 so far makes my opinion of the Colts being the winner of the suck for luck sweepstakes rather plausible.

 

Eh? Having a **** season b/c your franchise player is done for the year as well as other key members of your team? (You know, out of the 12 total players that consist of your entire roster)

 

I don't see how can the Dolphins win 6 games this season.

 

You are right. Opinions are not right or wrong.

You just end up looking silly when you claim that the Colts are a lock to get Luck and then they almost win a road game against a good Bucs team. When faced with the reality that the Colts played well, you double down and blame it on the Bucs "trying to lose".

 

Give it a rest.

If it was reality that the Colts played well..then it was also reality that the Bucs played bad. See how that works? Thus the "trying to lose" comment.

Do you follow now? Want me to send you a power point presentation?

 

The Bucs did this:

Blew a coverage that led to the first Garcon TD.

Dropped 3 INT's including a pick 6.

Committed the most penalties of any team this season. (14)

Allowed three 3rd down conversions of more than 15 yards.



That concludes my power point presentation of my "Bucs trying to lose" comment.

 

You want me to give it a rest and then you double post? The Bucs were not "trying to lose". THE END.

 

Im pretty sure he is not saying the bucs were wanting or trying to lose. i think hes just saying they played so bad, they were basically trying to hand the game to the Colts, and it was like the colts said "nah, we dont want it" i have never seen a team give up a 3rd and 20+ because their linebackers!!! were 30 yards down the field!! wtf!

Colts are a bad team, if Henne is out we may be just as bad. Colts, Dolphins and chiefs are in this race without a doubt.

 

I guess it is only hard to understand if your intention is to argue.

 

"THE END".

LOL! reading comprehension is your Kryptonite.

 

Kryptonite. With a "K"

Jerk!

 

If we lose at home to Denver we have a great chance at 2-14 the wich imo gets u #1 overall.
