Isray on Luck

[CS Colts Fan]

found this on rotoworld:No suprises

Andrew Luck - QB - Player

Owner Jim Irsay admitted Saturday "things have always pointed toward" the Colts selecting Stanford QB Andrew Luck with the No. 1 pick, but insisted the team reamins "open minded."

The Colts are loath to publicly lock onto Luck, but this is the closest they've come to confirming what many have long suspected. The way things are trending, it would be a curveball of Sandy Koufax proportions if Indy called Robert Griffin III's name on draft night.

This is him admitting it:

ColtsFans,roster reshaping exciting n producing a very physical MONSTER!Things have always pointed toward #12 but eval process is OpenMinded

[Larry Horseman]

The info comes from a recent tweet. He also talks about building a physical team. Just an fyi for everybody...

[21isSuperman]

I've never actually believed there was any chance we take Griffin. No knock on Griffin, I think he'll be a good NFL QB. I've just never read or seen anything that has led me to believe we would take him over Luck

[MLawRunner]

Yeah I agree, I think Irsay has been sold on Luck for some time now. While his sporadic nature does scare me, I think he prefers the guy he knows is pretty similar to Manning when he was drafted.

[Poeticwisdom555]

After all the twist and turns Irsay has done to the Colts by eliminating everybody except the mascot (Blue.. better find some wood to knock on).. nothing he does now will surprise me. I'm just gonna wait until the first regular season game and see who's all on the field.. then go from there.

There are so many thngs that flavor real or imagined ties between Manning and Luck..and Indianapolis...and Irsay..

When you look at where our new coaches are from....that also suggests a Flacco-like (in style), consistent pocket passer..

with a pedigree of the classic NFL QB

With any Luck he'll be just like Flacco, the GOAT!!!

[Coltswarriors]

Whooo!

[jemack]

So much for an early signing......

[jaggededge]

If it quacks like a duck....it is Luck!

[jvan1973]

No point in it really

[jemack]

No point in it really

Yeah, but that gives us one less thing to argue about

[Smitto]

Its finally official, colts are drafting Luck

[Jay305]

Hopefully Irsay pulls a fast one and drafts RG3

[Chris_21]

Hopefully Irsay pulls a fast one and drafts RG3

Sounds great

[Balzer40]

Hopefully Irsay pulls a fast one and drafts RG3

And thank God, you have absolutely nothing to do with the decision making process of the Colts.

[Dan]

I find myself thinking that quite regularly...

[Gavin]

Sounds great

I like Griffin but Im going Luck, if Irsay drafts Luck he runs a big risk of further alienating the Colts fan base and p****** alot of fans off (even more), Id accept Griffin and welcome him but Luck is ready to start and produce, sure RGIII probably will but, Luck ran a pro style offense

It us highky unlikely RG3 will go agead of Luck You guys will get Luck and not look back. . He is going to have a great career. Everything points to it.

[jemack]

you don't know if he doesn't.... Anyone of us could be employed with their FO.... Duh-nuh-nuhhhh

[MEAT]

If a team were to place a % weight on the evaluation process. The performance at the combine, a pro-day and/or a private work out should be very low on the list.

[haughvillian]

You gotta really love this. Ol' Jim is staying the headlines, but I'm sorry...I'm tiring of the drama. You will never convince me that after all this time, they have to evaluate this and keep an open mind. Are we that stupid to think they can't make a call yet? It worries me if that is the case! This is theater at its best. Now if they want to shock the world and select Griffin, so be it...but please don't tell me it's going to take you 3 more weeks to figure this out. I'm too old to believe that. I would really hope they're more focused on picks in the 2nd through 7th round. C'mon Jim...you don't have to tell us who it is... but don't tell us you don't know!!! Have an open mind.

[Jay305]

Yeah because your some expert

I'm no mind reader here. From my perspective, Jay305 was just being sarcastic & making a joke. I thought it was funny myself. It made me chuckle anyway. Well done Jay305!!!

I wish the draft was tomorrow...HV....it is getting old..

Funny how on QB Camp on ESPN, Gruden has Luck break down plays, coverage, and reads. When RGIII is on, they talk about socks, why the fullback pushed him in the back, and how fast his offense ran. hahaha

He misspelled the word "evil".

[Peytongirl]

too true!

[John Dee]

I went into a 1000 word comment on OUR OWNERS "twit"... sigh.... but I deleted it.

good God Jim.

nevermind.

Potential, athleticism, and a big arm get NFL GM's what?

fired.

[unitas-we-stand]

After ask the latest drama irsay probably doesn't want to let anyone know what hes doing but if you have been paying close attention to what pagano has been doing with our line up you already know luck is being set up

[John Dee]

For success.

[schwamm]

Yeah, but that gives us one less thing to argue about

I know, right. I've been opposed to the idea the team needs to get a deal with Luck done early, but I hadn't considered this. Surely Irsay needs to account for fan bickering in the team's decisions...

LOL..... I think we've passed thru all of the off-season turbulence, but I don't blame you.

I think Irsay is maybe just having a little fun with this Luck / RGIII thing, but in the end it'll be Andrew.

[Tark The Shark]

fired.

Also not having a decent back-up gets a GM fired too.

[hawkeyes]

Hopefully Irsay pulls a fast one and drafts RG3

If he does, I would advise against purchasing any "Indy" Colts gear ... it will be a clear sign he has a Mayflower on his mind.

He misspelled the word "evil".

I read it as an abbreviation for evaluation .... or was you being cute/funny? doh!

Hmmmm...What does accuracy get GM's then?:

Okay you're clearly a Redskins troll so I shouldn't be giving you attention, but seeing as you can't see the site without registering, I'll just point out that you should stop being a mug. Griffin's 2011 completion, 72.4%. Andrew Luck's 2011 completion, 71.3%. Okay, Griffin's more accurate than Luck, so if we're using that to say he's a better selection, then let's cast both aside, with the first pick of the 2012 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts select the man with 72.9% completion... um, Russell Wilson.
