    Fair or not, hypocritical or not, QBs are always treated differently.

     

    If Chad Kelly does play this year, 3 things can happen.

     

    1. Chad Kelly plays so amazingly well that there is NO question that he is the starting QB the following year. (How likely is this to happen? 10% chance? 20%?)

     

    2. Chad Kelly plays fairly well. The Colts have a QB controversy. JB and Chad Kelly fight for the #1 QB position during the preseason, but in all likelihood, neither would be the answer at the QB position if Chad Kelley isn't clearly better than JB.

     

    3. Chad Kelly plays poorly, showing why he was #3 on the depth chart. The coaches must now revert back to JB, after they have shown that they are willing to replace him. The other players now know that they don't have a true #1 leader at the QB position and question the coaches decision.

     

    Unless the coaches completely believe in Chad Kelly, it's my opinion, that he will not play.

    The coachs actually have a great alibi. They can always sit jacoby because of his knee.

    They won’t do it because they are going to be evaluating JB right to the end. Especially when he gets all the WR healthy. They know that the WR core has been  a mess. Guys have been in and out of the lineup and there has been no continuity. You can bet that they want to see what he does when they are all healthy. It will also weigh in on what they decide to do in the draft. 

    I feel like they could at least get Pascal involved more.

    In Mahomes' two games Vs NE, he scored 40 in one game, and took them to OT in the other. Luck hasn't come close. Did I mention Mahomes is 23 and it was his rookie year of playing? I like Luck, but he's 29 (30 when the season starts), he needs to step up Vs elite teams in the playoffs.

    No the team in general needs to step up!

    There's no problem with being a fan of Andrew Luck, I am as well and he's a top 5 QB. The problem is you'd take 6-8 more years of Luck over 15 of Mahomes, and that's just a terrible decision for the Colts franchise in general because you like Luck better.

    You put a franchise in a bad situation by taking your key players and just tossing them to the side. As good as Mahomes is how do you even know if he would fit in?

    If Luck was on the Chiefs, I believe he would of still lost to the Pats. He has never beaten them in his career. In fact, if you switch Luck and Mahomes, we may of beat the Chiefs. I don't think Luck can utilize Hill correctly with their O-Line, he doesn't scramble anymore like Mahomes does and he still holds the ball too long.

    Well neither has Mahomes. So your point is invalid. You just don't like Luck.

    The problem with that is you're a fan of the player, people like me are a fan of winning multiple SB's, no matter the QB.

    Why is it there is a problem with me being a fan of Luck. Nowhere have I ever said I'm a bigger fan of Lick then the team. I moved on from Manning and I will do the same with Andrew. I just like Andrew better then Mahomes.

    You know what fan is short for right? Are you a fan of luck or the team? A logical, non-emotional, decision would be to choose mahomes over luck if the option was available.

     

    There's no changing words or numbers, mahomes came in after and therefore, logically, he will leave the league after. Meaning we would have more chances with him. 

    Logical? He had one great year on a team loaded with talent. Im not buying into your argument. Luck beat all the odds and was mentioned in the MVP  conversation and I still think he is. 

    I will take Luck blind emotion or not over Mahomes any day.

    No I'm proving a point that it is a valid argument and should not be dismissed based on your blind devotion to Luck.

    It's not blind devotion. It's called being a fan. 

    And the point your trying to make is not proving anything. Change a few words around and you can make anything sound right.

    The "what if" is if he gets injured or retires before the normal time span of a QB.

     

    First round draft picks and pro-bowl QB's (of which they both are) average 9-12 years playing time. Mahomes just got into the league while Luck has been in since 2012. Looking at the average expectation of a professional QB, we can confidently assume that Luck will finish his career in 5 years (12 seasons) with 8 years at best if he plays to 15 seasons.  Meanwhile, Mahomes (with all things being equal) will finish his career 11-14 years under the same assumptions of average play time and max of 15 seasons.  This means Mahomes has 6 years more expected playing time than Luck.

     

    It is a bigger "what if" to believe that Luck will play longer than Mahomes, than it is to believe that Mahomes will play longer than Luck. Simply looking at the numbers, and common sense, proves this.

    You just want to start an argument.

     

    What's the difference really with excpected or the what if sanerio. 

     

    Everybody counted luck out last I mean even the numbers said we wouldn't make it to the playoffs but look we made.

    If Ballard can give luck those shots, he can give Mahomes those same ones as well. Currently Mahomes has had just as many as Luck as both have made it to the AFCCG once. 

     

    And you can't work off of what if scenarios, because you can do that for anyone. What if Luck dies tomorrow?

     

    Work within known parameters.

    Luck has more playoff experience then Mahomes. With way less help the also. 

     

    Saying Mahomes has 6 more years then luck to reach a Superbowl is a what if scenario. So yes let's work within know parameters.

    Even if he comes down to 4,000 yds and 40 tds, he'll still be just as good as Luck and younger than him by 6 years. Mahomes has 15+ years left, Luck has 10 at most with his injury history. There would be no reason to have blind loyalty to Luck if this hypothetical scenario presented itself. Mahomes would present an opportunity to extend our SB window with Ballard and Reich, a window we didn't get a chance with Luck because we had Grigson instead. Nothing to do with Luck being worse besides his age. On the same team, they are probably even, I just want 6 extra years at a SB with the same production.

    Ballard is going to give Luck more shots at a Superbowl then Mahomes is going to get at in his entire career. I believe in Luck. And who's to say Mahomes has 6 more extra years to reach a Superbowl? I mean the injury bug can happen to anybody the team can fall apart anything can happen.

    It's just my opinion though.

    I would easily trade Luck for Mahomes straight up. In fact, I guarantee we'd have to include more with Luck to do it. Mahomes is 23 and Luck is 29. Mahomes is probably slightly better and has less wear and tear on his body than Luck as well. That's an easy yes and should be to anyone on here. 

    I wouldn't make that trade. Mahomes is going to come back down to earth this year.

    No, he's not overlooked. He is what he is.

    There's a old saying in football: "RB's are a Dime a Dozen".

    That saying describes most backs we've had since Edge. It most definitely also describes Wilkins.

    Give him a hole and he will get some yards. But he's not a playmaker/gamechanger or a #1RB.

    Every NFL check he receives he and his family probably greatly appreciate it. I doubt he ever makes much more than the rookie/vet minumum. 

    If he gets injured or cut a RB off the street could easily replace his production.

     

    Having said all that he did look decent last year at times. I doubt Ballard upgrades our RB group much if any, so I think he has a good chance at being RB#4. Which is ok with me. I wouldn't want him any higher than that.

    Wilkens can play ball. I think you are being a bit harsh.

    Im sorry guys. Im happy we won, but imo that was not a fumble. His knee was done before the ball came out

    Yeah that is a huge equation in factoring in rankings and who is Great or just Very Good as in, can a player carry a team? Luck can IMO, so you have a point.

    So many people get hung up on stats and I think you really have to look at what a player like Andrew really brings to the table. Luck has proven he can carry a team time and time again. I mean look at this season alone we have been right there almost every game. Luck is Elite in my opinion.
