Andrew Luck Is Hitting His Head Against The Table Right Now...

I still don't understand what is so great about Luck. He had a solid career with Stanford, but Stanfords o-line and running game are amazing. Harbaugh went to SF and has a system much like he ran in Stanford and now Alex Smith looks like a million bucks. I am not a Luck "hater", we need to draft an eventual replacement to Manning, I just don't see how he is miles beyond everyone else and where the evidence is that he is the next Manning. I have watched him play and I wasn't too impressed. This draft is pretty rich at the QB position and if we traded with another top ten team we go get RGIII or another top QB and still have what could turn into a quality starter. On top of that we have picks that this team needs because there are alot of holes on this team. I am cool with drafting Luck and understand it, but unlike alot of people here I can see why we would trade the pick as well. Also what is this evidence of Luck being far above everyone else at QB, I have heard the so called experts talk about it, I just would like more of an explanation and evidence rather than "because everyone says so".

I felt the same at first. Go to youtube and watch his 2011 highlight film. It should change your mind.

The last time we traded John Elway for 3 first round draft picks bad move. You do not trade the chance to get a franchise QB who will be there until maybe 2030.

This reminds me of Johnny U's last years. Everyone wanted the colts to hang on and they did which cost them several good years.

I love Peyton but time marches on.

We must take Luck. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. It is the smart move. If Peyton can play next year, that allows us to find out in practice and pre-season whether Luck has all the makings of a bonafide superstar. If so, you look to move Peyton for a buttload of picks the following year. If not, you move Luck for a buttload of picks. Maybe you create some subterfuge about him and Peyton not getting along or some other plausible reason for getting rid of him. That makes Luck an almost no risk pick.

All bets are off now as far as Luck.

I will say this. Based on what I have gotten just from listening to Irsay and local radio. Jim Irsay wants Manning and Luck. I heard a report from JMV that part of what lead to the outs of Bill Polian was that Polian wanted to cut Peyton Manning and Jim Irsay said no.

With that said with the new GM means all bets are off with everything. Trading the pick is back in place. Drafting Luck and cutting Manning is back in place, and havng both is back in place.
