First of all let me start off by saying that I'm not on the suck for luck campaign, I'm a diehard and love this team and want to see them win every game if possible, but things are looking bleak this season and I don't see us winning more than 5 games and we do have to start looking at the future, hey look I'm rooting for henne and I do believe he has improved, better pocket presence, scrambling, a little better leadership, but let's face it guys he will never be a franchise QB, he is not special and he had his chance again sunday to win a game in the 4th quarter and he blew it, it was all set up for him, all he needed was 15yrds and he could not get the job done, serviceable NFL QB? yes, franchise QB? no, he never will be.

So that leads me to Luck, i see a lot of members on here saying we wont have a shot at Luck because he will go #1, well not necessarily, minnesota, carolina, st. louis, seattle, colts, chiefs, bengals, and us will probably be picking in the top 8, so lets cross off the vikings, panthers, rams, and bengals as potential landing spots for luck because they all have their potential franchise QB's, vikings-ponder, bengals-dalton, rams-bradford, panthers-newton. So that would leave the colts, chiefs, seahawks, and us, the colts obvi have manning but with his neck issues and him getting older and if they do get the #1 pick this could be a perfect opportunity to get their QB of the future, but financially it would not make sense, I don't think they would want to pay Mannings salary and put a #1 pick on their books as well, so that leaves the chiefs, seahwaks, and the phins, I believe the chiefs are not comfortable with cassell and if they're sitting at #1 they will take him, the seahawks also need a QB and they would take him as well, so essentially we would be battling with the seahawks and cheifs to land luck, for sake of argument lets say the first 6 picks looked like this:

#1-Colts-Manning-salary tied up
#2-Rams-Bradford
#3-Vikings-Ponder
#4-Dolphins-draft luck
#5-Chiefs
#6-Seahwaks

So landing luck without the #1 overall pick is a lot more realistic than people think!
 
I dont think its realistic because a team will trade up for him. I have no doubt the colts would draft him
 
but do you think the colts would tie up that much salary with them still having to pay manning $90million? peter king said he thinks manning would not allow it because he would want them to draft somebody who could help him win another championship with his window closing.

Exactly I dont wanna get in a bidding war either..The Colts would draft him too..and if they did I think trading Manning would be a possibilty..
 
i made a thread about this. if the rams get the first pick, its our most realistic chance, because they dont need a qb, and we are an afc team, meaning if we were willing to give up what it will take to get him ( who wouldnt for a guy like him ) we would have prob have the edge over teams in the rams conference who they will be competing with for years.

the teams u mentioned, i only see the rams and panthers not taking him if they get the 1 pick, but rather trading it. ponder, dalton? they can be solid qbs, but never will be franchise qbs
 
Rookie contracts aren't like they used to be, the Colts would most certainly take him

Manning does not have that kind of power..in the end he is just another player..Polian will get rid of him if he thinks Luck is the real deal. They drafted Manning he got them out of obscruity...But in the end its a bussiness and I Polian would not blink at the chance to get another franchise signal caller.

The salary structure for rookies has changed and Peyton knows they need to replace him at some point cant be like us and not having a plan
 
yea but the vikings wasted first round money on ponder and so did the bengals with dalton, they have to at least move forward with them and not waste another first round pick on a QB
 
lucks going #1 guaranteed...if a team ends up with that pick that already has an established qb or a youngster they really like that team will trade the pick for a damn bounty to a team who wants to come up for luck...and i will guarantee you the compensation should a trade actually go down will be unlike anything we've ever seen before...
 
the rams aren't getting the #1 pick either...jeez...they're not even out of that division at 0-3...the rams could lose 8 games even and that division is still winnable...
 
1) The Colts will draft Luck if they are #1
2) If a team like the Panthers, Rams, or Vikings end up with the #1 pick, we will be in a bidding war with 8-12 teams to get up to #1. I can't wait to see what teams are willing to give up to jump to 1.
