Wow, makes you realize that Irsay is going about the man after Peyton Manning as "we have to keep him for as long as we can and keep him relatively small" rather than being the way JR has been with Cam and allowing him to be who he is and market the poo out of him.

Glad we are not the Colts. Despite how the owner refutes it in tweets, this has to be true. It sounds true and makes sense.

Where did you get that from the article? The closest thing was:

"One source with knowledge of the talks even suggested that Luck would 'have to clear' marketing proposals with the club."

​So a multi-billion dollar organization wants to control it's marketing image with the face of it's organization. What's weird about that?

I doubt the Colts want to limit Luck's exposure too much, but they do want to make sure he doesn't start endorsing products that would not be consistent with the image the Colts want to project.

If you'll recall:

(Richardson talk with Cam Newton):

"Do you have any tattoos?’” Richardson told Rose. “He said, ‘No, sir. I don’t have any.’ I said, ‘Do you have any piercings?’ He said, ‘No, sir. I don’t have any.’ I said, ‘We want to keep it that way.’ . . . .

“We want to keep no tattoos, no piercings, and I think you’ve got a very nice haircut.”

Sounds about the same if you ask me.

Well why did Peyton Manning not have a similar agreement in his contract then? Kind of odd to say the least.... and negotations over a contract that is pretty much determined and set shouldn't drag out this long

Not at all. When Peyton signed his rookie contract, the negotiations were all about money. For subsequent contracts, Peyton had enough leverage to make a marketing clause unfeasible.

For a contract like Luck's, where the money is mostly predetermined, the only thing to negotiate are secondary things like endorsement control.

I think people are reading way too much into this. As far as I can tell, this is just business as usual. Each side is trying to get as much as they possibly can. They can't argue that much about money, so they have to negotiate on other items with monetary value attached like public image.

They won't have to really worry about keeping him small... When he busts, that will all take care of itself. 10 years from now we'll be on the interwebs reading stories about him breaking and entering to steal people's prescription drugs.

I'm pretty sure his degree from stanford will take care of him

The Luck hate on this board is hilarious. You guys are like 16 year old girls who had her boyfriend leave her and now you bitch bitch and bitch

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
