Luck will never ever ever sign with the Colts and here's why:

On a slow say, I thought I would talk about a different sort of topic. Jim Irsay (owner of the Colts) said recently he would definitely consider taking Luck if he was in the position to do so. He pointed out how Rodgers sat behind Farvre for a few years. The MSM picked this up and ran with it for a while. All of the MSM discussion really focused on it from the Colts point of view. I believe there is no way Luck would sign with the Colts and here is why:
- He is a junior and can go back for his senior year if he wants.
- I'm sure this talk of being the best prospect since Elway has swelled his head and probably wants to play as opposed to hold a clipboard for 2-4 years.
- This is the most hyped QB in decades and I suspect he has no intention of riding the pine for those previously mentioned 2-4 years. Consider that his contract will be 4-5 years. Think of the money he could lose by riding the pine. He wouldn't have a chance to prove himself for a huge next contract. Second, he will not be getting the big endorsements if he doesn't play. If you were his agent, would you tell him to play for the Colts?

So you think he'll opt to play college ball another year just because of that?
He did it last year I guess…
I think there is significant money involved, so yes.
If he goes back to school, he will almost definitely be starting in the NFL in 2 years. If he goes this year and is drafted by the Colts, he could be sitting for the entire first round contract. What if Manning goes all Farvre and plays into his 40s?

my understanding is that
Luck’s family is far from broke and Money isn’t a big factor.

But do you think he really wants to not play football
for a few years? And I’m sure they have some money, but not the kind of money we are talking about here.
"Pain don't hurt" - Swayze (Road House) -- We miss you man!
They have a lot of money...
You may be right about wanting to play rather than ride the pine, but I really dont think money is a factor. I also doubt that he went back to school simply to avoid the Panthers
Andrew Luck did, in fact, grow up in a family of substantial means. His father, Oliver, was a standout football player at West Virginia who spent four years with the Houston Oilers before retiring and earning a law degree. He was the general manager of the Frankfurt Galaxy of the World League of American Football and later the league president. He was CEO of the Houston Sports Authority. He is currently the director of athletics at his alma mater. He may not be Bill Gates, but I suspect he’s worth well into seven figures.

Luck and The Broncos...3 degrees of seperation
Oliver Luck was indeed the GM of the Frankfurt Galaxy and guess who he hired as his head coach, none other than Jack Elway. Things that make you go “HUMM”
BTW
I am not trying to hammer a point here, I am just trying to say that Luck is not even close to your average recruit. You cannot look at him the same way, he is likely unpredictable. Which I guess in a way strengthens the authors argument.

One of the reasons I started thinking on this was...
…something on ESPN today saying there were several knowledgeable people that thought he could very well pull an Eli Manning (or Elway ;0 ) and have some say on who he plays for. Who knows if any of this is true, but I thought it would be an interesting exercise to dissect if he would play for the Colts if the “knowledgeable people” were correct.

The interesting thing is...
no one even knows for sure that he wants to play pro football. It’s a lot of pain to go through if you don’t need the money. Maybe that had something to do with him staying out of the draft for a year. I agree, this is an interesting topic. The situation is so unique. I do think that the talking heads are likely talking out of their stink holes. They will take any way to get Luck in the news…

Then the Colts will probably go all Packers like
and get rid of Manning before he really wants to retire. However with the type of neck injury that Manning has, I seriously doubt he plays till he’s 40. We’ll probably see him for another couple years but his retirement will come sooner rather than later.

and if things don’t go very good with the recovery, sooner could be before the draft. This is not his first neck injury.

If think if Manning is forced to have another neck surgery
then the last we saw of Manning was him running a terribly designed play for his skill set (a QB rollout) on 4th down of an 2010 AFC wildcard playoff game.
It’s unfathomable and I know Manning is trying his hardest to return but it’s a real possibility.

If I could only think of a precedent!
Is it possible for the Colts to draft the No. 1 quarterback coming out of college and then trade him to Denver? Aw shucks, things like that only happen in the movies. ( or in NativeFan4Life’s Ultimate Stories).

Remember, the second time history repeats as a farse
If it sounds too good to be true, it is
Can you enter the draft without signing with an agent?
Just wondering, because I don’t think he can return to school if he’s signed. I think if he really doesn’t want to play for the Colts, and it appears that they are the most likely to sign him, he just won’t declare for the draft. If that’s the way he’s thinking.
Personally, I’m sickened by the fact that the Colts are actually in this position. I’ve had enough of them being at the top of the standings for the last 12 years. If they get Luck, and the reports on him are accurate, I’ll have to go through it all again. I’d almost rather he go ANY other team. Except NE. I’m sick of them too. Oh, and maybe Pittsburgh :)
I think I have good ideas sometimes. I just suck at communicating them.
I also do not want him with any team in the AFC West...
….I’m actually ok with him going to the Dolphins. I don’t want McD to have him either!
And if he doesn’t sign with an agent, then he can go back to school…
"Pain don't hurt" - Swayze (Road House) -- We miss you man!
The only way McD get's Luck is if he's fired from St. Louis
and is hired by the team that picks Luck. St. Louis has been bad but it’s not because of Bradford. There’s no way they are giving up on Bradford even if they finish 32nd.
And now for something completely different
by AlbertaBronc on Oct 19, 2011 1:05 PM MDT up reply actions
Unless they trade Bradford and go with Luck.
Which is what I would do. I would think they could easily get a mid-late first for Bradford unless he completely tanks this season.
Record since the start of last year:
Kyle Orton: 4-13
John Fox: 3-17
Forgive me if I'm less than patient building a franchise around these guys.
It is a possibility
but they’ve already put a lot of time and effort into Bradford. Luck might be a better prospect but Bradford is their guy and he’s a darn good prospect as well.
I could see it happening if Spags is fired and the new coaching staff decides to go with their own guy and instead of Bradford but I think Spags would keep Bradford and take the next best player for them which would most likely be either Jeffrey or Blackmon.

Nah, if they don't take Luck....

no worries about McD
he’ll package a 2, 3 and 4 to trade up and snag ryan tannehill.

I don't think Manning has more than a couple years left
due to the shape of his neck so I doubt Luck would ride the pine for the entire length of his 1st contract.
Luck also doesn’t strike me as a guy who would complain about sitting behind a QB like Manning. In fact he strikes me as a guy who would love it. One of Luck’s many attributes is that he’s incredibly smart and a student of the game. I’m sure he’d love sitting behind Manning and learning everything Manning has to teach. He still might opt to stay for his senior year to play one more year but it won’t be because he has to sit behind Manning.
And now for something completely different
My thoughts as well
I actually think Luck would prefer a team like the Colts for these reasons. Plus the Colts are already set up for his style of play. Instead of having to be on the typical bottom feeder and waiting for them to build a team around him, he’d have everything set.

Without Manning, they can’t win a game. That tells me there are many, many holes on this team.

It's a team set up to run with a great QB
Without one they were bound to fail. So for Luck, this would be the perfect opportunity to come in and show what he’s got.

Colts minus Manning...
Are a typical bottom feeder. That’s why they may be in position to draft Luck. Goes to show you what a great QB can do for a team, and also why I’ve always rated Manning above Brady.
Record since the start of last year:
Kyle Orton: 4-13

I disagree
They’re not typical because all they’re missing is a great QB. The typical bottom feeder on the other hand has gapping holes in most if not all positions.

they do have gaping holes though
Their offensive line is one of the worst in football (Manning covered up a lot of that with his quick release), Addai is good, but not young for an RB and Brown is terrible, and their entire defensive scheme only works if they are ahead and they know the opposing offense has to pass.
i keep dancing on my own.
There is no guarantee that Manning will play again. And even if he does, that he would play for 4-5 years.
The Colts aren’t going to draft Luck, pay him #1 pick money and keep Manning. That would be too much $$ tied up in the QB position. The Packers could do it with Rodgers because he was drafted late first round.
If the Colts take him, he will be their starter.
I think he didn’t come out last year due to the lock-out uncertainty. He didn’t want to sit a year not playing at all. He will come out now. Too much $$ on the table to risk getting injured in college.
Behind the scenes, I wonder how the Colts feel about Manning. The gave him big $$ but allowed him to waive the physical and now he may never play again. If they get the #1 pick, they have to seriously consider moving Manning and getting Luck.
Rookie pay is much different now.
With the new agreement, they could definitely afford to keep both.

Manning gets something like $20M/year. Even at $8M for a back-up they really can’t afford it, they need to pay other players to field a decent team. They need their back-up to make pennies.
You are right the rookie pay is less now (Luck won’t get a $60M contract) but it is still high for a 1st round QB vs. a back-up like Painter.
Thats what tebow's contract was under the old scale at the 25th pick
I bet they can afford it

They can definitely afford it
Cam Newton’s contract is only guaranteed $22 million over four years, or just over $5 million a season. The Colts are also currently more than $7 million under the cap. Luck would be able to fit in just fine no matter who he replaces on their roster.

Can they afford not paying that $7M to an OT or elite defensive player? I know they have the $ to afford it—I was talking about whether they can field a competitive team if 25% of their CAP is at one position (and a position where only 1 of the players is in the game at a time)?
I say the answer is no.
If they keep Manning they have to go for a SB and to do so means they need to sign more talent.
I see what you're saying
Your premise is that if they keep Manning, it’ll be for a win now at all costs type of deal. I don’t really see it that way. I think the most value you can get out of Manning at this point is to let Luck watch him play for a year or two and have him pass on anything and everything that he can. Maybe I’m giving up on the old Colt too soon, but with this neck injury, I see Manning’s best days behind him.

So you don't care about the way..
..the other 31 teams put their teams together and who they draft? I do care as a football fan. In particular, I don’t want him in the AFC West. Also I am a Bronco fan but I do detest other teams and root against them pretty hard. Therefore, I don’t want him on the Pats, Vikings, or Jets either.

Personally,
I hope he wouldn’t go to any other team except the Broncos. We’ll just have to wait and see if this kid really has any morals to speak of.
Please do not take me the wrong way
At this point the whole Luck thing is just speculation. As a football fan I could not care less until the season is over, he declares for the draft and we know what Indy is going to do. As a bronco fan even if we finish with the #1 pick we should trade it for a bunch of picks and build our team the right way.

Here's the thing
How is he going to lose money riding the pine, the contracts are slotted, he will get basically what Newton got, plus a little more for inflation, his money will be guarenteed. If he goes back to school and get injured, he stands to lose that money. So no way he doesn’t come out and sign with whoever.
As many have stated above, no guarentee Manning comes back at all or even plays another 4-5 years.
Sorry, but Luck will sign in Indy if they draft him.

I’m really just trying to convince myself that Indy doesn’t get to go from HoF QB to HoF QB without suffering first. Of course, they have to live in Indiana, so maybe that is suffering enough.

You are wrong.
Luck is a red shirt Jr this season.
Brandon Lloyd won the Brandon Lloyd trade. Denver lost it.
Redshirt Junior?
You are confusing college level and NCAA eligibility. Luck is in his 4th year of college and therefore is a Senior. Because he was redshirted 1 year doesnt change the fact that he is a Senior, he simply has another year of eligibility if he decides to enter a Master’s program. He is college SENIOR with 1 year of eligibility to play football… Not a redshirt junior…
It would be a funny irony however if he did end up with the Colts...
…I for one don’t think Luck is all we’ve been fed. He’s a good QB but not John Elway. I’m also sure he will never come close to either Peyton’s IQ. That’s what made the Peytons great…Archie’s IQ about the game. He passed it to his boys and they learned.
I’m quite happy that I can this weekend listen (they’re not airing the game here) to Tebow play.

Right. He is a senior, but he still has a year of eligibility. He has only played 2 full seasons at Stanford and is partially through his 3rd.
So, although he is a senior, because he was redshirted as a freshman he can play another year of college football if he elects to do so.

You are wrong Damon.
Luck is a red shirt Jr. and he has one of year of eligibility beyond 2011. He could enter the 2013 draft if he so chooses.
Brandon Lloyd won the Brandon Lloyd trade. Denver lost it.
Actually I am right...
He is a SENIOR… While he may have an extra year of eligibility left that would involve him entering a masters program but still doesnt change the FACT that he is a senior.
http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/380470/andrew-luck
You crack me up Damon.
The context of the conversation is clearly centered around whether ot not Luck has another year of eligibility left. You incorrectly asserted that Luck had no eligibility left and McGeorge correctly asserted that he has one more year left. The rest is semantics.

I disagree to a point. I think the fact that he is a Senior and would need to enter a masters program could definitely influence whether he plays a fourth year. Masters programs are much more intense and thus harder to play football and make the grade.

Lol, do you really think that would factor?
No disrespect but if Luck determines that he doesn’t like the team that he would be drafted by i seriously doubt he would even consider how hard a Masters Program would be since he would only be in it 1 year anyway. Think about it…..
"I'm just honored and blessed to represent the Denver Broncos and will do everything in my power to help this team win games" Tim Tebow when asked how it felt to be named the starter.
Stanford isn't State U.
most graduate programs at Stanford would be very wary of accepting Luck unless he shows a real commitment to the program and a willingness to work just as hard to finish it as anyone else.
They’re not going to just let him sit around in a graduate program so he can finish out his final year of athletic eligibility.
And before you start busting on me about diminishing State Universities, I’m a graduate of a California State school (and darn proud of that too!). I just understand that Stanford is in another class academically, and takes that academic standing VERY seriously.
by DanReynolds on Oct 20, 2011 11:28 AM MDT up reply actions
You're confusing graduate programs with doctorate or phd programs Dan.
Masters programs, even at Stanford are more a product of GPA and are not that hard to get into as long as you qualify and can afford them since they’re typically not funded. My daughter just went through the process and had numerous unfunded Masters degree offers (including Stanford), the real challenge was getting into a funded PhD program. I have no issues with your state school comparison since that’s my background as well. Given Luck’s connections I can guarantee you they would gladly accept him and his money even if it was likely only for a year.
"I'm just honored and blessed to represent the Denver Broncos and will do everything in my power to help this team win games" Tim Tebow when asked how it felt to be named the starter.
Yes I really think that it is a factor.
See DanReynolds response.
I do however think he could take more undergraduate credits towards a second bachelor degree, possible turn his minor into a double major situation. That seems more plausible. In my opinion the fact that he is a Senior about to graduate could be a factor. Only he knows how much of a factor if any. At any rate, it probably isn’t worth our time to argue whether Damon meant one thing or the other. Can we just take his word for it and leave it at that.

Respect is not given it is earned dog gonit...and they don't respect us...nobody respects us... you know what you got to do in that situation? TAKE IT!!!!!

I made a simple statement that Luck wasnt a Junior but a Senior...
I never asserted that he didnt have any eligibility left… If I did please point to where in the thread i claimed he had no eligibility left. Please read my very clear statement above. McGeorge is wrong Luck is NOT a “redshirt Junior”. I simply corrected the simple mistake of people believing Luck isnt a Senior. He is!!!!
my 2 cents
1 off great 4th q by tebow but he missed 10 14 pts out there and to get where we want to be tebow needs to copy steve young let say tebow is our guy we need to hire steve young as our QB Coach or OFF corder out only hope to get luck is STL gets the first pick or MINN MIA shouild get him but i think we need ethier a 1 RB or A 1 WR Decker is a 2 WR we need a guy like blackmon or Jeffey or Greg childs from ark noone is a bigger luck fan than me but we have no shot to get him now

Come on j-man
Sure, he left some points on the field, but it was his fourth start. Give the kid a chance to learn and grow.
After today’s game, there shouldn’t be anyone clamoring for Luck as a Bronco. Not for what Tebow did on the field, but for the fact that he has shown the ability to perform when the game is on the line and not get rattled. Those qualities just can’t be taught, and are the foundation for a successful quarterback.

we need playmakers to heip tebow that all i meant because he runs too much and will get hurt yes the game was one of the best things i seen in 5 years i do not mean to sound so neavtive about tebow i guess i will have to audjust what i value in a qb idk about u but my blood pressure was sky high today

Wait, is there any scenario where high blood pressure is a good thing?
