Remember, even when (we all hope) he is activated, the official league practice report on Wednesday will tell a lot about Luck's status.  i still say it would 3 weeks team practice/drills before he gets to start.

 

As far as guesses, i'll give mine here (assuming he comes off the PUP within the next couple of hours) -

 

I give him 0.001% chance of starting vs. L.A. Rams, and 5% against the Cardinals.  I go up to 65% vs. the Browns, and 90% against the Seahawks.  100% vs. the 49'ers.

 

If he isn't going to be the 100% starter by 10/8/2017, then we can debate why they didn't keep him o n the Reserve/PUP and give an extra roster spot to another guy?

Because being on the PUP list will not allow to practice with the team.  Being on the active roster allows him to work with the receivers not engaged during practice.

A good point, one ive made before...but.. he has to be healthy enough to practice with the team.  And if so, it should not take 6 weeks to do so.  But if you are saying it might take 4 weeks before he can practice, then he takes another 2-3 practicing and will be ready by weeks 7, then point taken.

 

But let's see if he even gets activated first.

They get a receiver that refuses to block anybody, ever, and we get a QB we don't need. Perhaps we can trade Jacoby for a piece we do need?

Just wow. I'm not stunned that they traded but it's what they got

I see this possibility.  Brissett won't be ready for game 1 ...  he doesn't know playbook.  Either ST or Morris will get the call week one.  After that?  Who knows... how fast does Brisset pick up the playbook (or at least the short - game planned version) once here?

I don't buy that this trade means bad news for Luck. Maybe Ballard was not happy with Tolzein and/or Morris. Jacoby probably is better than both of those two. Luck could still only be gone a few games.

Yep. Part of me is hoping that they're unhappy with Tolzein/Morris as a backup and that the trade has no indication on the status on Luck. They probably like Brissett and want him as a backup for the future.

    • You were picking better than me most weeks, just had unfortunate luck once or twice, I definitely earned that last spot. My average was pretty bad week after week. 
    • You are missing out a rather LARGE piece of the puzzle in your factoring here. We had last season's win numbers with GARDNER FREAKING MINSHEW at QB practically the whole season. Love the guy and what he did for us last season, but he isn't exactly a world beater at the QB position. AR brings such a different dynamic to this offense and teamm, Shane is going to be chomping at the bit to get started this season. The sample size we saw from AR last season was small, but it was definitely encouraging - especially considering we were all expecting him to be much more raw and inaccuarte. He basically red-shirted last year, learning the NFL game and in Steichen's ear the whole time, while learning the playbook inside out.  Our team has fundamentally stayed the same as last season, which damn near won the AFC South with Gardner at QB for the love of god. Now we add AR to that mix, as well as some very interesting additions in Mitchell and Latu who could have very meaningful impacts. The fact that we are so under the radar is almost laughable - AFC South isnt going to know what hit it. 
    • Great points!  I would assume the Irsay’s would conduct the interviews. If Steichen is given more control he would as well or the new GM could decide his fate like Ballard did with Pagano. Several ways it can go and we are a few years away from it even happening so who really knows. I’m hoping none of it matters and the team becomes a true contender and this discussion is merely killing time. 
    • I would say "hire the best who's available for the job". If all the good / great GM candidates are gone, you're stuck hiring someone like Grigson (or maybe someone from this forum).   I often wonder, who's the best candidate to hire for an impossible job? Someone who can make the impossible, possible?
    • I agree.  Hire who’s best for the job.  But that doesn’t mean the guy who is easiest is automatically the wrong choice.  Easiest can also mean best.   It depends on your perspective.
