Manning will be a Colt next season… if not, he’ll be a Jet and reunite with Tom Moore. Also, Rex loves the guy. Still betting he’ll be a Colt.

Good call dogging my screen name when you clearly put so much effort into yours. Are you really gonna bring up the Wonderlic? With the first pick in the 2012 NFL Draft the Indianapolis Architects select Andrew Luck; QB/Bridge Builder of Stanford. Get real buddy. They aren’t drafting his mind. Teams are drafting football players. My comment that ‘Tebow will have the better career’ was less of an endorsement of him and more of a shot at Luck. He hasn’t proven anything worthy of this kind of hype. I don’t want to see him fail and my comment was mild compared to some on here but who knew it would touch the nerve of Andrew Luck apologist. To be clear Tim Tebow won the Heisman and lead his team to National Titles. What has A. Luck done so extraordinary? I remember when Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers were ‘can’t miss picks and drafted # 1’… oh wait. Only Manning delivered on the hype and time will tell if Luck is in the same stratosphere.

I’d give the Colts 2 first rounders and a second (upgradeable to a first) for the rights to Luck. If that seems a lot it’s because I’d happily give up our last two first round picks for the opportunity to switch places. Is Luck a guarantee? No. But there’s no such thing and Luck appears to be the closest thing to a lock there is. When you’ve had no QB for 12 years any trade seems reasonable. From a desperate Fins fan!!!

The NFL should do a lottery of the bottom 5 teams or something along those lines. If you have the incentive of the #1 pick and it’s late in the season why would losing teams try to win other than players wanting to keep their jobs.

If they did it this way a bad team would still end up with the #1 pick but the teams would have no control over getting #1 or #5 or anything in between

A Colts fan here,
I wish the NFL would just go ahead and give the Colts the # 1 pick since everyone else seems to think its a done deal.

I’m not buying it that the Colts tanked it this year to get Luck. Do you really think that Orlovsky or Painter would jeopardize their NFL futures by playing worse, or any of the Colt’s player for that matter, so the team could pick Luck? And if the player’s thought that the coaches were calling vanilla plays to lose you would hear about it, a player would say something to the media. The only evidence IMO that they weren’t trying to get better was by not picking up Orton but when you’re not going to make the playoffs why go all out to win a few games and lose out on the chance to draft a great QB prospect with Manning’s future in question.

People like to look way too into things, sometimes teams really do just suck that bad, it happens every year. But hey don’t let me stop anyone from trying to be all Nancy Drew on the situation.

If the Colts get rid of Manning, take Luck and he’s a bust, they will be a loser for a decade at least.

@ProDolphinsTalk:
Tebow will have the better career.

LOLZ. Really?? Tebow won’t even have the best SECOND career. Andrew is an accomplished scholar, earning a degree in architecture, and wants to design stadiums one day. Tebow has a Wonderlic score that screams “do you want fries with that”?

To the knuckler claiming that Ryan Leaf was proclaimed to be a can’t-miss prospect coming out of college – really?? There were PLENTY of dissenters pointing out his maturity and character concerns. Teams got all hot and bothered about his tangibles and the Chargers chose to overlook the obvious issues and took a flyer on him. Luck has no such concerns whatsoever. He’s the real deal. And please, don’t even mention JaMarcus in the same breath with him – you’re just embarrassing yourself. That “ProDolphinTalk” handle isn’t helping much either.

Good choice. CAA has the power to land Luck a lucrative endorsement deal with Barbasol.

@jimr10….I don’t have to have inside information…if it quacks like a duck…etc…Even your owner was quoted several games ago that he wanted to draft Luck. As far as your reference to credible analysts….that’s an oxymoron! I don’t have to hear their dribble to draw my own conclusions. I stick by my first post.

The Colts are getting a Luck if they get that #1 pick, it’s just that simple. Whether Luck is worthy of that #1 pick and all the praise he’s received is the only thing up for debate. Colts ownership and management would have to be brain-damaged to hang their hopes on an aging quarterback with neck problems, no matter how stupefyingly great that QB has been up to this point.

Could you imagine Manning , with his history of neck problems, taking a headshot like the one McCoy just took from Harrison? In all likelihood, that would be the end of Manning’s career. Heck, it might not even take a hit half that hard to put him out of football permanently. Manning had a great run with Indy, but it’s time for the Colts to pull the ripcord on their relationship with him and focus on the future.

I wonder if the same ” ability to playing in the NFL” questions will creep into these media folks minds for Luck the way they supposedly did with Cam or are we suppose to believe that Luck signing with Tom Condon, the media loving agent, means he’s as good as geeting a free pass to the top of the draft board like all Tom Condon’s previous clients such as Blaine Gabbert, Sam Bradford and Matt Stafford?

peyton could teach Luck how to choke in the playoffs year after year until the NFL finally has to order the refs to let them win.

By: earthtopft

earthtopft — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:56:27 +0000

CAA is who these guys work for. Not whatever team happens to be lousy enough to pick them in the draft. Tom Condon makes more significant personnel decisions in a month than most G.M.s make in a year.

Very interesting that Luck may sign with the same agent as Manning… Conflict of interest?

It seems logical that Manning would prefer to stay in Indianapolis (same WRs, same system, etc.) and would also prefer that Indianapolis used this draft for getting better players around him.

jimr10 — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:43:46 +0000

fergenator–do you have inside information that the Colts have not tried to win games? Did you say the same thing about Lions when they were headed to 0-16….were you calling for a lottery then? i didn’t think so…It is only being brought these days because an uniformed person that has a sports blog thinks so…not one credible analyis thinks to Colts have tanked…not one.
The draft has been successful as it is for many years…

nflcombineresults — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:40:07 +0000

Any news on whether Andrew Luck will attend the NFL Combine?

Common sense and history allude to him sitting out, as he would have nothing to gain as the consensus #1 overall pick perhaps worth a bounty of draft picks if the Colts decide to trade down.

“Hes the next great QB. Can make everythrow and is a leader. ”

This is the exact same thing that was being said about Hall of Fame QB’s such as Ryan Leaf, Jamarcus Russell, and Tim Couch……..oh wait nvm

The same people said that Tebow couldn’t win in the NFL (I can’t believe I used that seeing how I hate all the tebow hype)

Point it, People need to get off of Andrew Lucks nuts until he can prove himself against a legit NFL defense because what I saw againt legit Pac 12 competition this year wasn’t deserving of half this hype
