Just A Thought

In a couple years Brady will be sitting in Manning's seat... for what ever reason...

And the Pats would wish that they had an Andrew Luck coming available in the draft.

RIGHT ON !

I really don't understand the reasoning here. Waste a first round pick for the future? How does that even make sense?

Luck is a much better quarterback than Mallett. If you drafted Luck right now and asked the Patriots for a trade, Luck for Mallett, they would do it in a heartbeat. Why is everyone wanting to downgrade in prospects? All of them are unproven and have the chance to flop but some are pretty darn good and near cant-miss while other are third rounders for a reason.

The reasoning is obvious on why fans want to trade the #1pick and get anyone except Luck. They choose Manning for maybe a few more years,if healthy, over a franchise qb for 15 years.It's very difficult for some to let go.

Emotionally, I can understand it is very difficult.

However, the logic escapes me.

What use is a 36 year old QB, even if sufficiently recovered from surgeries that prevented him from playing all last season, on a rebuilding team, when the team will draft a top-rated QB in this year's draft with its #1 overall pick?

It's very clear to me. It's time to move on.

I didn't say it was logical.Theres a thread where some wished the colts would have won another game or two just so we wouldn't be in position to draft Luck. Just about every team & fan base wished they were in our shoes BUT they veiw it as a big,dark storm coming on the horizon and the end of their football world, when in fact it should be the beginning of a very bright future for us Colt fans. I just hope Irsay does not mess it up.
