and people keep bringing up drafting Luck, the worst idea ever

How about we all switch to Pats fans? still think the idea of drafting Luck is "the worst idea ever"?

Pat's can have luck.

give me a player that can help manning win superbowls between 2012-2015

Peyton Manning is picking his nose on the bench!! :shh:

[ClaytonC]

there is no guarantee that Manning will be back next year. If he does come back will he play anywhere close to the level he did in previous years?

No one knows. the Organization would be terribly wrong not to get a QB for the future.

Failure to draft Luck if he is available would be equal to dooming this team to being a bottom feeder for the next decade plus...

there is no way to amass that much talent in those 3 years, especially as your "key" player ages and skills detoriate to the point of probably embarrassment.

[shaunzo]

Getting a QB for the future is not a bad idea, look how it worked out for Green Bay. The only difference is they have coaches that didn't learn everything they know from a 'Football for Dummies' book.

[shaunzo]

And wow, would you really want the Pats to draft Andrew Luck? You're joking right?

[indy_nick]

11) We were begging Caldwell to put in PAINTER a few weeks ago when Collins was playing

12) Mcafee led the team in STs tackles for a while

13) Lacey is making hand gestures after his 1 good play and forgets about his dozen bad plays.

14) People want to see more of Donald Brown after one run

15) I'm worried we might lose during our bye week...

[chrisfarley]

just talked to someone who had the same surgery as manning.... he cant even play golf... can't turn his head, ended up having another fusion just below the current one due to trying to be too active ----

so, my response is

"when you get side-tracked and can't remember what you were doing before getting side-tracked, "Oh yea, I was watching the Colts game, hmmm, can't remember what channel that was on"

16. You wish you had Jacksonville's record.

17. You are hoping for a strike shortened season.

[Duolian]

18. Wearing your Colts gear around town causes Boy Scouts to help you cross the street, automatically assuming you are blind.

How does this not apply to a rookie QB? how do you know how he will play? I'll take an old manning over some potiental luck

No, Drafting Luck and pushing out manning early and then Luck becoming Alex Smith would be dooming this team to a bottom feeder for the next decade plus...

Wow, way to rip off another poster's words.

I posted this in another thread but I think it also applies here.

I just don't think people are taking into account that it is very possible that Manning will never finish out his contract. He will be 37 next season and coming off a serious injury to the NECK and that can not be stressed enough. This is not a knee or a shoulder, but his NECK with the hope of nerve regeneration. If this had just been another yr. that Manning was healthy and we were still sucking enough to get the 1st pick, then I would probably agree that we could wait another yr. or even 2 before we gave serious consideration to getting whatever QB we could, but with this injury and his age it just does not make any sense to pass on what could be the best QB to come out in the last 14 yrs.. People can not (or should not) just automatically assume Manning will play another 4 yrs. and finish his contract. History tells us differently, Marino, Montana, Elway all retired at 38 yrs. old. Very few QB's ever make it till age 40 and even when they do, they have usally lost much of their ability.

I just ignore the "Luck" posts. We don't need Luck, we have "The House"!

You know what they say, "The House" always wins...

Well, there's a way to debate this without stooping to childish insults. Both sides have a point, and this is not the thread to debate Andrew Luck. There are numerous other threads to discuss this issue. If I started a thread to discuss the weather, I bet someone would suggest that Luck would bring sunny skies and someone else would counter that Luck would cause precipitation.

Take it somewhere else.

You should apologize for calling the other poster a "fool".

I agree, but it is mostly the people who don't want Luck that always interject him into the conversation. I just wish we win some freaking games and make this whole thing not even worth talking about anymore.

with the schedule we have its not likely

[RIFF]

Why is it that every post turns into a "let's draft Luck" thread?
