Life must suck if you are Andrew Luck

[jarhead]

The Colts just released 90% of their offensive production. Cams records will be safe with the existing supporting cast

[thunderraiden]

Who cares, he's a Colt. I know its offseason but damn, this really should have been taken to NFL Central.

[Mr ocho nueve]

Colts will get some talent back. Definitely not Dallas Clark of Reggie Wayne talent, but they won't throw the 1st overall pick under the bus with no talent around him. They will have some decent money to work with in FA.

[YoungPanthers89]

His life is a lot of things but suck is not one of them

[Stroupe-a-loop]

They probably want to surround him with younger talent that he can grow with (Vincent Jackson, Marquese Colston, ect.) rather than lean on Clark and Wayne into their mid-to-late 30s while the rest of the team is rebuilt.

[JawnyBlaze]

Colston is 28 and Jackson is 29, so they're not long term answers either. Either would be very good short term solutions, though. Maybe they're hoping to get a playmaker at #34. Maybe they'll draft Luck then give the Steelers next year's #1 for Wallace if they can (which would be kinda stupid, since it's very likely to be a high 1st). FA pool is pretty dry since all the franchise tags have been applied. Manningham is another possibility, but I doubt anyone would consider him even a remote possibility as a #1.

[rayzor]

he's getting ready to sign a contract that assures him $24mil over the next 6 years.

life does not suck when you've got that looking at you.

The Colts are basically clearing out their house to build around one man....there should be no pressure at all

If you give them a 4-5 year deal, it runs through 32 or 33 and 33 or 34 respectively. Those are still productive years for good receivers. Especially, guys that are 6-4 and 6-5 respectively.

meh...the pressure was always going to be there. not nearly enough for life to "suck" though.

Right you are, with out Cams supporting cast in Carolina those records would not have been achieved.

we still don't know what the redskins are going to look like...of course i'm not sure that they have all that great of an offensive cast in place right now.

they are going to have to hit it big in FA.

[Jim Harbaugh]

I told Andrew. 'Son, you're fugging up in a major way' when he didn't come out last year. 'Carolina would have been a great town for you.' Now, he must replace a living legend Colt fans will still be able to watch every Sunday slinging the rock for someone else. Luck will be held to Peyton's standard, worse, he'll be held to Cam's standard when he reset the bar for rookie QBs in the NFL.

Truly, barring Pro Bowl level QB play Luck is right in the middle of the Kobiyashi Maru.

Sucks to be him. :lol:

Enjoy mediocrity Andrew.

Making 10's of millions of dollars sure does suck. Why does my life have to be so awesome?
