Grantland: Three Ways the Colts can Keep Andrew Luck Happy

[bababooey]

http://grantland.com/the-triangle/how-wed-fix-it-three-ways-the-colts-can-keep-andrew-luck-happy/

 

The Problem: A Wasted Pick, a Disappeared Running Back

The Solution: Learning a Lesson From the Trent Richardson Deal

 

The Problem: An Uncertain Defense

The Solution: Shell Out Cash, Draft Like Geniuses

 

The Problem: The Offensive Line

The Solution: Get Healthy, Get Consistent

 

Article goes in depth pretty well but makes the connection that the Colts are similar to the Cavs during Lebron's first stint and that the window (to win it all) is never as wide open as it seems.

Getting him a new state of the art phone would probably make him happy

I prefer the one with the bag that you have to carry around

Seems pretty consistent with what the rest of the forum members agree with lol.

What a pointless article. 

Learn from the Richardson trade....duh. 

 

Draft like geniuses....thanks, I don't think we tried to be successful with our drafting before.  But I'll pass this message on to Grigson and hopefully he'll flip a switch and draft 6 or 7 HOFers this year.

 

Get healthy....again, thanks.  I thought our players and coaches tried to injure one another so they could just mail it in and get an easy deposit into their bank account.  I'll be sure to tell all the players to stay healthy this year.

 

2 of these 3 suggestions (and 3/3 if you change "the Richardson trade" to "roster acquisitions that didn't work") apply to literally every team in the NFL.

Yup.

 

This whole thing is built on the false premise that the Colts should be worried about Andrew Luck's happiness. The Colts should be worried about getting better and winning as much as they can for as long as they can, and that will take care of Andrew Luck's happiness as a by-product.

Do the Colts really need to keep Andrew Luck happy? Andrew doesn't seem to have a problem with that. This guy seems to be very content.

The article is right on! If you weren't a Colt fan or are one you just got a great run down!

Get him a razor

I'm interested in this "theory" that's been generated (most likely by jealous fans of other teams) that Luck is either currently un-happy or is going to be (how could anyone possibly know this?) in the future?

Ugh don't joke... I used to be a network engineer for a Global oil company and the "old school" supervisors would special request those briefcase VSATs...  

 

Talk about a nightmare and a half lol...  Sorry had to vent
