Chuck Schick Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 He's been fine. Not nearly as lights out as many think, but fine. He has one of the fattest contracts in the sport and performs like a middle of the road guy. Now, he's 11 months removed from surgery and can't even practice. That is a huge red flag. Just calling it like I see it. True... the contract does raise expectations. I'd put my money that he's got a lot of good seasons ahead of him.
SaviorPeterman Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Good news for the Bills because on paper the Colts game is the only 'easy' game left. But it could have been totally different with Luck playing but this is a smart move by Indy since their season is pretty much toast now anyway.
quinnearlysghost88 Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 i was reading someone's comments who had the same surgery (though he couldn't guess the severity of Luck's injury), he said he had it in April was golfing by early July and could definitely throw a football by August. Luck had his surgery in January. Something is drastically wrong.
WhoTom Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 So do the Colts take one of the top QBs next April? It's deja vu all over again. Someone will be touted as "the next Andrew Luck" and Luck will tell the Colts, "You have to draft the guy." They will, and then they'll release Luck. And Denver's looking for a QB.

We play Miami twice and they decided to trade away the only player who would be a factor in those games.
aristocrat Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Our two firsts for luck and we trade tt for a second. Colts have 3 firsts and take a qb. That would be a hell of a deal and we have room to add talent and still have cap space Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
nucci Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 i Would still trade for him. He can't throw a football....not a good thing for a QB
Charlottebillsfan2 Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Add them to the list of teams not making the playoffs from the AFC
HappyDays Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Sucks for Luck. . I remember Colts fans using that as their rallying cry in 2011. When will people learn tanking does not work in football? Its crazy to me people at the beginning of this year wanted us to trade every good talent we had to secure the 1st overall pick.
SoTier Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) I remember Colts fans using that as their rallying cry in 2011. When will people learn tanking does not work in football? Its crazy to me people at the beginning of this year wanted us to trade every good talent we had to secure the 1st overall pick. The problem with tanking is that while you may get the QB you want, you don't have much talent around him. Moreover, the reason for the lack of talent is often due to poor talent evaluation. Luck's suffered from poor coaching, too. Edited November 2, 2017 by SoTier
dave mcbride Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 But he was anointed the second coming ( pick your favorite HOF QB) I get his teams have sucked but other QBs with similar stats get trashed and he just doesnt get drubbed? The Colts are 43-27 when he has started. Their record is quite different when he hasn't.

They never gave him an offensive line and he got pounded year in and year out. I hope he is able to come back eventually. It would be a big loss to the NFL to lose a QB like luck to an injury
YoloinOhio Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Hes probably going to need arthroscopic surgery to find out what is wrong

Part of tanking means you have to be seriously lacking in talent and depth. Its a lot harder to build it back up, plus get the coaching staff right, than people give it credit for. And #1 overall QBs are like 50/50. Its a horrible strategy which is more likely to go wrong than right IMO.
mannc Posted November 2, 2017 Author Posted November 2, 2017 Hes probably going to need arthroscopic surgery to find out what is wrongGreat. In the meantime, lets trade a ton of draft picks for Luck (and his awful contract) and get rid of Tyrod.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 The Colts are 43-27 when he has started. Their record is quite different when he hasn't. Facts suck.
mannc Posted November 2, 2017 Author Posted November 2, 2017 The Colts are 43-27 when he has started. Their record is quite different when he hasn't.Like 5-3, in 2015, with a 40-year old backup?

Its a horrible strategy which is more likely to go wrong than right IMO. If the plan was to get a great QB, then yes it worked. Luck was awesome and a generational talent. He took a 1 win team to the playoffs. The GM gave the fans and himself fast shiny receivers and corners and never protected him. This would be a very different story if guys like Dorsett werent drafted in favor of a good guard
Webster Guy Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 The forecast for DECEMBER 10th just got a whole lot sunnier. We loves us some Jacoby Brissett. He hung a whopping ZERO points on us last time we faced.
