 If Lucky gets cut, traded, retires there is some great news.
All we will owe him is a $3M roster bonus he earned already for basically being alive in March.
And, we would increase the money available to buy FA BY $4M. All is not gloom.

If Luck is unable to come back and not play as good as he did then yes it is gloom. Money don't mean much when the team losses it's best player and leader.

 Actually, having to pay him for a BIG "mostly guaranteed contract" as you stated, would be a Huge setback
to our Colts for several years to come. Therefore i'm feeling LUCKY, that doesn't have to be.

Thus is why the insurance is paid. Big dollar contracts are covered by insurance. Pretty common.

Insurance would pay off the contract,  but I believe the cap hits and dead money hits would still be involved.

 

The Colts would still be hurt badly. 

 

If im wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.

It's funny how many fan boys are saying shut this thread down. I own a Luck jersey... Love the dude... But he is a walking injury report.... Doesn't matter how good he is if he can't get on the field. At some point it's reasonable to wonder if Luck and his contract are good investments for the Colts.

I know this is a touchy subject but it is comical sometimes that people who automatically want posters banned or threads deleted if they say anything bad about Luck.  There are a large number of Colts Fans that feel the exact same way when you guys keep saying Luck will be the next best thing.........Overall the Colts are something like 51 and 36 since drafting Luck.  It's easy to say when he plays we are great but at some point we realize he is missing more games then he is playing so you can see why some fans feel this way. I want him to come back better then ever but I can definitely see why people feel the way they on here do.   Curious if there has ever been an elite quarterback miss this many games and end up coming back to go on a long streak of successful seasons?

It doesn't seem very likely.  I think Luck will be Indianapolis' version of Bert Jones.  A very good quarterback who's career wasn't as good as it could have been due to injuries.

Here's the deal about Luck and how he returns....

 

Does he come back and play poorly because he's still hurt?

 

Or does he come back and he's just rusty from lack of real game activity?

 

Or does he struggle because the line still sucks and we don't surround him with the right pieces?

 

OR....

 

Is it a combination of all the above and more?    That's for the coaches and front office to figure out....

 

Sorry, there is no definitive answer because there are too many moving pieces.
