Luck Has A Built In Polian & Manning Connection I Never Knew About

[bayone]

From NFL.com

One of Polian's sons, Brian, is Stanford's assistant special-teams coordinator. Manning's father, Archie, and Luck's father, Oliver, were Houston Oilers teammates in 1982 and 1983. Andrew Luck attended the Manning Passing Academy as both a camper and a counselor, and Archie Manning has acknowledged that the two second-generation quarterbacks spoke earlier this year after Luck decided to return to school.

So he feels comfortable with the Manning's and the Polians... good sign, so we know that he won't say no to coming to INdy if he gets drafted.

Not so fast Jason.. How are you to know what is true and not true.. you rag on other people for such posts, how about you practice what you preach.

Well that was my bad I suppose. I forgot there were too many impressionable younger folks reading the forum who need everything spelled out for them. Well I'll do the best I can since I don't see a Crayon font that I can use.

Andy said we know Luck won't say no to coming here. This is not true. We don't know that based on any superficial connections he has to Manning or Polian. All we know is he has familial connections to both men. That does not in any way say one way or another that Luck would not say no to coming to Indy. That's why I said "Not true" because what he said is not a true statement...it was an assumption based on the superficial connections described by the OP. I did not mean to infer that Luck would definitely say no to coming to Indy because that also would not be a true statement. All we know at this point is that one of Bill Polian's sons is an assistant coach with Stanford (on special teams, not the offense so we don't even really know how much interaction Luck has had with the jr. Polian) and that Luck was at Manning's passing academy (just like at least a dozen of the other more talented college QBs).

Luck may be fine with coming to Indy and sitting for 2-4 years behind Manning....he may want to start right away. We don't know either at this point and we won't for several months so anything said at this point is opinion only.

If knowing of these connections Luck has with Manning and Polian make people happy and make it easier for them to sleep at night then more power to them. If people want to use these superficial connections and twist them to suit their agenda then again, more power to them but at this point we know NOTHING about what Luck is going to want to do on draft day.

They must want Andrew Luck so bad.
