Secondly Luck is forced to play for the team who drafted him unless he wants to retire from Football. I would love to see him do this after the colts spend their pick on him just to hear your reaction.

third if this is all the colts are capable of,, well the colts deserve to be bumped down to the CFL in Canada. What do they do to college football teams that go winless for the year?? They kick their asses down to a lower conference

Thumbs up to Banish the colts from the NFL for rigging football games.. Vegas is going to have to start making -28 point lines for teams facing the colts at this rate.

The decision to pass on Orton has nothing to do with “Suck for Luck”, primarily because nobody (including the Colts) is stupid enough to purposefully suck for a chance to use a first-round pick on a guy that might not even enter the draft next year and could choose to play for a different team even IF he did.

The Colts are passing on Orton because HE sucks. Or at least he has with Denver thus far this year. If he can’t win with Denver (and Tebow can), what makes anyone think that it’s a sane idea for Indianapolis to make a move for him?

Orton’s no magic man, and throwing $1.6 million out the window isn’t a smart business decision. The Colts have already tried this with Collins, and the results were abysmal. Finish the season with what you have, and then get to work on building a 2012 team that doesn’t need one singular talent to succeed.

Look at the difference with Miami, now there’s a team with some self respect that refused to suck for some guy who has never even taken a snap in the pro game.

Next year they should have the top 3 teams have a lottery for the top pick to avoid this kind of situation.

When your team looks that bad and that unprepared, and you keep your coach and front office in place and you refuse to bring in anyone who could help you on offense, that to me is OBVIOUS. The Colts players may not be choking on purpose, but the front office is and it’s obvious. They’ve gone WAY out of their way to avoid doing anything to help the team win.

As to fans who doubt it, ask yourself this: if Irsay’s life, or the life of a loved one, depended on the Colts winning at least 2 games this season, do you still honestly believe he would pass on Orton? If you say yes, you’re lying to yourself.

But they do not deserve Andrew Luck in the same way that, as this season has shown, they do not deserve Peyton Manning.

Their front office is a joke. Their team is awful in every regard beyond #18. This season has proved it.

Worse yet, drafting luck will likely end Manning’s career early, even if he does sit behind him for a few years.

18 deserves better than this garbage organization. So does Andrew Luck.

But even if they did get the #1 pick, they still should have a few good years with Manning at QB. Trade the pick to a retarded organization like the Raiders and get about a dozen in return to build a defense, offensive line, and maybe even give Manning someone reliable to hand the ball off to.

I think one horrible season after 10 great ones should be bearable, and they may have another 10-15 good seasons with Luck at quarterback.

It’s like deciding who to vote for, who sucks less.

And this opinion is based upon what football expertise? There is no evidence that Orton would be any better than any of the current Colt QBs if dropped into their system at this point of the season. They tried that experiement with Collins a few months ago, and we all know how that worked out.

It would be truly ignorant for the Colts to make this move given their current position. Plus, the can raid practice squads for much less expensive positional needs.

I guess we can look forward to a slew of stories in the offseason on how the Colts can’t afford both Manning and Luck?

Orton, however, is better than Curtis ‘I should have been a’ Painter and Dan the Man. You go 0-16, it’s a disaster. Be remembered as one of the worst teams ever. Orton helps you avoid that, at least.

so you wanna run Peyton out of town?

The Colts had plenty of time to look for a better QB and effectively chose not to.

While Orton might have given the fans a credible offense to watch, there’s little sense in trading the #1 pick in the draft for a mediocre season and a mediocre draft choice.

We’ll find out if Goodell and other owners think this is what was going on if we see talk of a draft lottery gain traction.

7-3, 8-2?
