So lets say we go back in time, and change Peyton getting cut by the colts, now as you all know we had the first pick, so lets say they still take Luck. IF peyton had the same preseason he did right now (throwing 0 touchdowns and 3 pics) and luck had his preseason the way he's been having it, would there have been people saying we should start Luck over Peyton...?

All I can say is it didn't happen for a reason.

Luck would've been playing against backups and third stringers. Obviously some would be saying that, but most wouldn't. Doesn't matter anyway, it won't happen. Hate these hind of threads.

This is a duplicate thread with just a few words move around LOL. As I said in another one, I have watched both Luck and Manning's two pre-season games. Both played against the apposing teams starters and Manning seemed uncomfortable and very rusty while Luck looks like he is ready to take the world by the horns! Manning will shake the rust off and have a good season (and it kills me to see him in that uniform :( ), however, I am very pleased that we have Luck with 10 to 15 years ahead of him.

Amongst the available options, I never wanted both QBs on the team at the same time (as many have noted). It would have been a ridiculous waste of resources, and a ridiculous waste of a career. Whose, I don't care to conjecture.

But you should look a little closer at Denver before insinuating that he is off to a bad start. FAR from it. Considering the injury, the layoff, the new offense and the new team-mates, he has looked fantastic. The stats you quote are very miss-leading. Only one of the interceptions was a bad pass, and he could easily have three TDs. In fact I only saw one bad pass period. He will be fine. Meanwhile Luck has been uncomfortably close to two additional "pick sixes" on top of the one he threw. but for a rookie, that's great. He will be fine as well. I'm delighted that they aren't both here.

      If Eberflus was fired by Chicago would you want him back

      I am not a big believer in hiring the so called offensive mind. I believe that is the role of a competent qb coach and offensive coordinator. We are playing a coach in Tomlin who is maybe the best coach in the league and he was a defensive coach. Williams is not struggling because of coaching. They have no run game and he is constantly getting pressured and that is on the GM. They didn't invest in the Oline. They built their receiver group in the draft and through free agency.  A solid Oline would have taken pressure off of Williams. The Colts are actually built well to insulate a rookie qb and give him time to grown.  If you look deep into Fields stats, he is still a bad qb. They are just not putting a lot on his plate, running the ball down teams throats and playing strong D.

      AFC defensive player of the week?

      By Jason_ · Posted

      Apparently it is that hard to grasp. They're the #1 ranked  OL through 3 weeks. Not over the entire season. Not over the course of several seasons. They're #1 right now. They're giving a better performance than the other 31 OL. That does not automatically mean they're playing at an elite level. What if no OL is playing at an elite level?   Imagine you're in school in a class of 30. The class is given a test. You get the highest score with a B-. All that means is you had the highest grade but no one scored a perfect, or elite, grade.    Can you grasp it now or do I need to get out the crayons?

      Is Shane Calling Plays to Win Games or to Groom AR?

      I think teams are going to give up the run and force offence to march down the field on a 10 play drive and score. They are going to take away the big play and make Richardson throw intermediate and short passes. The defense believes that he will throw up a pick and/or the offense will stall.  Although,  I dislike the cover 2 defense, it is perfect against a guy like Richardson. The Colts have not shown that they can put long drives together. It is early and it is up to Richardson to make teams attack more. If they continue to run with success and Richardson makes those easy plays.  Then it is a different ball game and it opens up everything. Quite simple actually, lol.  If Taylor is pounding the rock against 4 man fronts because Richardson has improved his accuracy.  Then the D will have to pick their poison. Do you play up to stop the run, short and intermediate passes? Or do they play back to stop the big play? Richardson's evolution, if it happens, will stress the defense probably like no other qb because of his skill set.
