I hope and pray the Colts select Luck. The Colts were only picked to go 8-8 or 9-7 with Peyton. Everyone is acting as if they were picked to make it too and win the SB……And as for your reference to the 7 other injuries the Colts had. No one says they would have not gone 2-14 because of those injuries, it was because of no PEYTON. I believe Luck goes to the Colts, and by week 3, he goes on injured reserve…….Your team sucks. Luck, Wayne, but …..NO O-LINE, NO D-line, and no running Back…..good luck……

I stand by my remarks about Snyder. At least he makes the effort to improve his team year in and year out. Like I said in my earlier post- he has made some bad decisions, but he’s all about his team.
Bidwill sat around for years eating ice cream in the stands while the Cards tanked, and never showed loyalty to that team’s fans in any city (Chicago, St Louis, and Phoenix). And we all know what the Irsays did to Baltimore.
No doubt Snyder’s done some things to anger Skins fans- but at least Skins fans will NEVER have to listen to him threaten to move the team when he wants a new stadium.

I don’t think anyone wants to see rg3 have to play in Indy. Besides, the league won’t allow It. They want the exciting rg3 to play in their “darling division” the NFC east so they can continue to put all that divisions games on prime time.

It is the NFL trying to retain some semblance of drama over what is going to happen with the first two picks of the draft.

Draft day has turned into a big deal for the NFL’s media partners and sponsors. It does them no good at all if the first two picks are set in stone.

As it is there will be absolutely no drama over the number 2 pick. As soon as the first pick is announced you know who will go second. Worse still there is almost no doubt over who will go third as well.

The first pick over which there is any real doubt is the number 4 pick. That’s currently owned by Cleveland whose fans will have the exciting prospect of watching their team either reach massively for the 3rd best QB, select a player that doesn’t fill their most glaring need or trade down, again.

This is not going to be an exciting first round. At least people were surprised that teams drafted Locker and Ponder so high last year. This year there wont even be a sense of shock if someone reaches for Tannehill or Weeden.

Never heard of RG3 before the last 2 months. No brainer. Andrew Luck probably as good an athlete. They both may be better athletes than, oh say, Tom Brady Payton Manning Aaron Rodgers (best of the class). Pure BS. It’s all in the head.

umm rg3 only won the heisman trophy leaving luck sitting there with a d*** look on his face..but yeah YOU never heard of him before feb. lol ..k

He’s actually sued a Washington newspaper for daring to criticize him for running a rotten team. Excuse me, where do I go to get on the long line that criticizes Dan Snyder for being a bad owner?

If you have to compare him to someone, I think Elway is probably the closest if you watch his game film.

Spot on!
I’m not a Skins fan, but I respect Snyder.
He is, imo, what a team owner should be- someone who is committed to making his franchise the best it can be. He’s one of the few owners that truly LOVES his franchise, and doesn’t look at it as just a glamorous business venture.
He’s made his share of bad decisions (the worst one being Vinny Cerrato), but I think his heart is in the right place.
I wish there were more owners like Snyder in the NFL, and less like Bill Bidwill and the Irsays.

Dan Snyder is a lot of things. He isnt a bad owner. What exactly makes him a bad owner? Is it because he will spend any amount or do anything to help his franchise win? He has made some questionable moves in the past, but that doesnt make him a bad owner, it makes him an impatient one.

Despite the Skins bad fortune, they are still the 2nd most valuable franchise in all of sports. They are worth well over a billion so Danny must be doing something right.

Dan Snyder has already proved he’d give up a ton for RGIII, can’t see a reason to think why the Colts couldn’t attempt to squeeze a bit more from that nutcase.

Snyder must have pictures of RGIII all over his walls. Heck it wouldn’t surprise me if his wife’s wedding picture has been altered with RGIII’s face in place of her’s.

I’m not saying that RG3 will bust and becoming the next Akili Smith but the comparison is valid. If he doesn’t live up to his hype then it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who follows football.

They are almost identical in size, both weigh in at 220 lbs but Smith is one inch taller then Griffen, 6’3″ and 6’2″ respectively. Both are mobile QBs with strong arms. Their college stats for their last year in college are incredibly similar as well. Smith posted a stat line of 58% completion percentage for 3763 yards with 32 TDs and 8 INTs. Griffen posted 72% completion percentage for 4293 yards with 37 TDs and 6 INTs.
