Virgil Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) In hindsight. Basically, would you have trade those 4 players for Luck. That's basically the 1st and 2nd the year Luck came out and the next 3 1sts. I'm not saying I know that would get it done, but I feel like it's in the ballpark. Personally, I'd do it. EJ isn't a loss if we have Luck. Gilmore isn't the shutdown corner we thought he'd be. Glenn is still a question mark. I always find it interesting to look at trades involving picks after the picks have been made. To me, this is a no brainer. Just fun speculation Edited October 23, 2014 by Derek in Va
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Fun speculation, but it would NEVER happen. The Colts wouldn't trade Andrew Luck for anything.
Virgil Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 Again, I know it wouldn't happen now nor am I proposing it as reality. I'm saying, at the time, would you have traded four 1sts and that 2nd for the 1st overall pick. The end result is the players I named
17 Josh Allen Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 are you smokin crack. no way the colts do that never

metzelaars_lives Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) I don't know, Manuel only got to play in 14 games. Not even a full season. If we continued to let him develop for another season or two, who knows? Perhaps he could've been the next Andrew Luck. He's certainly got all the physical tools. Alas, we'll never know. Just kidding. But sadly, some of you actually feel that way. Edited October 23, 2014 by metzelaars_lives
Virgil Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 Here's a question: If the trade were to happen in an alternate universe, would Luck be Luck or would he follow suit of recent QBs drafted by this organization? I think that's the case for most qb's. But I believe Luck is the exception to that. He's just that good. Look at the team he took over and what he did immediately.
Nasty Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 why are you wasting our time with this stuff.......

Look at the team he took over and what he did immediately. That team wasn't in as bad shape as many would have had you to believe... Luck is a talent but he wasn't exactly going to the Jags. Honestly, I think it's common consensus that Indy chucked games to land one of the first two picks. More so that Irsay, given the POS he is, probably demanded them to do so. Maybe if we throw in Herschel Walker? Do we redeem two Superbowls?

RuntheDamnBall Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 This will only work if we can arrange a prior trade to send them some of whatever you're smoking.

Chandler#81 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Gotta check my Mod Manual. Can I kill a thread for shear stupidity?

Virgil Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 It blows my mind how people can't read the context of what I'm saying. I know it wasn't going to happen nor could happen now. I'm just having fun with the idea of, how would people have responded had that happened two years ago? When the draft started, we walked up to the podium first after giving away those 5 picks. How would that have gone down? And, now that we are two years later, it's almost funny how it would almost be a no brainer to me

Section242 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Looking at the RG3 trade after a year you would say the Redskins would do it every time. Now not so much, and as of now the Rams really haven't gotten much. As for the hypothetical trade, a franchise QB is worth more than what you've listed so yes.
DrDawkinstein Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 We also need to include Kiko Alonso since we only got him with the trade down of our 1st round pick.
Clippers of Nfl Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Do you remember the exact moment you decided you hated fun? I'm sorry. But you leave me with no choice. The answer to your question is when they clicked on this thread. Again. Sorry. Too easy and some dick has to do it. Might as well be me.
