Crazy Thought!

do you guys think the colts could have possible scouted Luck last year just for the heck of it. You know to see what this kid was all about, and thought maybe they could have got him late last year, but after hearing he was going to stay in college another year at least and all that jazz. Maybe then when they scouted him the seen the potential this kid could have in the NFL.

So Luck doesnt go through the draft last year, but there is a better chance he will this year, so lets Pay Peyton to sit this season to pick up the "best" prospect in the draft next season to have another successful 10years or so..

Money talks and at the right price anyone will do anything.

Just speculating a bit, but Think about it. At first peyton would miss at most 4 weeks, no big deal...but then BLAM! another neck surgery! OH NO! he is now out until at least december. Well now he isnt coming back at all. So does this not seem fishy or am I just looking a bit to much out of reality?

No. Michael Moore doesn't run this team.

Silly.

It is interesting what is going on right now, though. The quotes from BP, sound like an admission of some serious mistakes. However, I think this year is going to end up being extremely valuable in the long run. There is no reason why an overhaul both in the coaching staffs and some player personnel can't result with a kick start to the entire franchise. The big variable is Peyton's health. I think if Andrew Luck IS the guy everyone says he is, he will be here.

There is already a relationship between the Polians, the Mannings and the Lucks. I'm praying that Peyton could very well turn out to be the ultimate franchise player, and do the incredible, selfless task of playing out his last couple years of peak performance if he is strong enough, and then take a backseat and help Luck take the reigns. I don't recall ever seeing this done, but I sense that if Peyton wants a unique legacy similar to the likes of Elway but different, he attempts to take the Colts to two more Super Bowls, then retreats to the bench for his last two years, and does some trouble shooting for Luck from there, hopefully in preparation for a healthy retirement and a position in the front office or coaching staff with the Colts.

Again, I've never seen it, but it wouldn't surprise me if this was more of what the future looks like here. Only way this happens though, is to bind and gag the mouths of both fathers.

I hope Peyton doesn't do anything remotely close to what you are suggesting. It's not his job to let someone else take over. He owes no one that. His job is to win as long as he's great at doing so, not give up the reigns for the "good" of his replacement. It's not selfish of him to want to play for as long as he's up to the task.

    • Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.  
    • Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias. 
    • I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result. 
    • I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough. 
    • I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
