Well, now you're talking about differ eras, coaching staffs, even ownership. It's a bit different. 

 

Luck was a "generational talent" and Manning was a top 2 QB of his era. Manning easily within that top 10 all time QB list. 

 

Rodgers and Favre were in the top 3 of their era. Rodgers, like Manning, easily within the top 10 all time QB list. Favre somewhere in that 35-50 all time area. 

 

Josh's career isn't over. His story is still being written. And Kelly was great...but taking the Homer glassed off I don't think Kelly was a Top 3-5 QB of his era. Probably in the same top 35-50 all time area that Favre is. 

 

This is like comparing McIntosh to Granny Smith to a box of Lucky Charms IMO.

You're talking to a person who said "we are stuck with Josh for the next three years". Not worth trying to debate with this person.

Forget Jim Kelly. The fact they didn’t come away w/ one SB with a TEAM FULL of HOFers in all 3 phases is a travesty of the highest magnitude. Damn you Ralph. Damn you…

I'd like to hear what it is that Kelly did that will never be repeated? Keep in mind, making 4 straight Super Bowls is a team accomplishment and at least one of those years Reich had more to do with us getting through the playoffs than Jim did. 

LMAO ok. I can tell I am not going to argue with you on this.

nah, after manning and luck, they have several more years of QB purgatory to endure.  sorry

I tend to agree, even though he did make some promising throws and runs, many people forget that staying healthy is not all about luck.

 

 Some athletes are able to absorb physical contact more positively than others. Unknown at this point where Richardson will fall on that spectrum but my feeling is he may need to avoid playing like Allen even though his body type may suggest he can.

My daughter went to Eastside High and we watched him in high school both football and basketball  You could tell he was a special freakish athlete but he also got dinged a ton from minor contact  Love his family and wish him nothing but the best moving forward My wife will be bummed , she enjoy watching/rooting for Ant

Sucks for him and the Colts. The lead up to the draft and regular season was all about how he’s this “big athletic freak” who’ll be able to be a difference maker with speed and size on the game. Shame he isn’t durable as they have been a good watch when he’s played.

Sucks that a young guy that was playing so well got hurt, see you next year I guess.

Maybe the Ponies learned from their mis-handling of Luck, and want to try to do things the right way now.

The Colts weren’t going anywhere this year anyway might as well get the better draft picks

 

But you also want to know what you have in the player. 

 

Not to mention, this sucks for this young man.
