If I'm Indy...

Before last year, when was the last time the panthers were in position to sign a franchise QB? You take Andrew Luck. Rare opportunity. I feel bad for him though. They are cleaning house.

they are doing in one swoop what the panthers did in two.

the house cleaning they are doing with players, we did the year before fox left.

i think it makes it harder doing it all at once, but people were calling for the panthers to do the same thing not too long ago or were at least complaining because we spread it out so much. i think the panthers did it right, fwiw.

No way you pass on a prospect like Luck... Indy of all teams should understand how much better a good QB makes a team.

[Dpantherman]

They should have tried to make a move first. There are 3 first round QBs this year and the Colts completely purged their roster, lots of holes. They need all the picks they can get.

I would like it just to see Luck end up on a crap team like the Browns.

[MWCarolina]

i cant see them doing that, but if i were them i would go after some free agent WRs, try to get in some talent to help out Luck.

I would like it just to see Luck end up on a crap team like the Browns.

well, unless the Colts sign some talent, look at their roster now!!! Indy needs some help.

Feel bad for Luck and RGIII. One's going to a team with no players and a few draft picks, one's going to a team with no draft picks and a few players.

[CatMan72]

Luck is walking into a HORRIBLE situation, I'm still trying to figure out who he'll be throwing the ball to?

RG3 is walking into a bad situation simply because he's going to play for a team owned by Daniel Snyder.

[CatMan72]

If RG3 isn't all world right away, the Skins will flirt with FA QB's every offseason, just like the did with Jason Campbell.

[weymouthst]

Who says Indy doesnt draft RGIII?

[Snake]

Cleveland supposedly didn't want to give up the #4 and #22 for RG3, think they'd give up FOUR picks for Luck? heh

The browns have actually realized that you need picks to win in this league. Unlike the redskins who will be in another 10 years of hurt for what they just did.

[Lumps]

God people you kill me.

First picks...more valuable than a ring? Christ...

No way this happens. Why? Because picks are not better than setting yourself up for a ring. Having Luck minues all those picks is not setting yourself up and niether is loading up with a bunch firsts and never taking a player like Luck. He is the most worthy prospect of the #1 in years and their QB has left, everyone has left which actually works to Luck's advantage. The Colts are going through a much more massive overhaul rebuild than what we had to do. We have never had a franchise QB let alone one good enough to completely build a team around. Picks are not like poker chips, like Madden has you believe.

If you have the number 1 already, why would you trade the opportunity that everyone is killing over? Wouldn't it be smarter to use the fact it cost you nothing (future pick wise)? Same deal with the Panthers last year. How much did you guys want to trade our pick last year before we knew Luck was not going to declare, after a horrifying, low record setting season (errily similar to what the colts just went through)? No one.
