I'm usually not a pessimist or lose-to-win fan, but Andrew Luck is the real deal and we must get him. Franchise LT, WR, good running combination, C (hopefully), and a defense who solely needs a wake-up call IMO are a great start. A fresh start with a new HC and possibly new OC/DC and this team is right back in the hunt, ala what the Falcons did a few years ago. It all starts with Luck.
Edit: BTW, firing Sparano mid-season would definitely be a great distraction to the team and would increase our chances of sucking. Lack of confidence in the coaching staff and gm does a great deal of damage to a team's psyche. Firing Sparano soon = better chance of landing Luck.
