What are you going to remember from this game? Luck's could-have-been int's, or Luck's 354 yards and 4 TD's? I don't even know what we are arguing here.

The rules change is having its effect. I yawn at those stats. Now I only look to the playoffs and super bowl.

There is no doubt in my mind that Luck will win a superbowl (possibly more) in his career. And I agree though, that the rule changes have inflated stats, but you can't just discount them.

Oh, ok. I see where your getting at now. Yeah, that's why I disagreed with Haplo when he said QB's are only as good as the players around them because it is not true at all.

It's not? Then the 'best' QB would win the super bowl every year.

I don't think it's solely due to rule changes otherwise all the average QBs will be having gaudy passing numbers. You'd notice it's only the elite who are benefiting.

Mostly true. However, guys like Dalton, Tannehill, and Stafford aren't elite, yet they are almost setting records up their with the greats.

He probably will. But that's just middle of the pack. Remember, his division will get better. They're piling up a lot of top picks. He needs to hit the iron while it's hot like Seattle did.

Poor Giants, they paid Eli all that money and now can't afford a decent team. Injuries have also bugged them but that offense stinks. No way Eli is worth that much.

Eli is such a horrible QB. Still can't put the ball between the numbers after all those years.

Yep. But at the same time, Luck is only going to get better and the Colts defense is getting better as well (top 10 currently). And I wouldn't be worrying about the Jags, Titans, and Texans getting better anytime soon. Maybe the Texans, but that's it. The rest of them have 3-5 years before they are good enough to compete with Luck and the Colts.

Having watched the Panthers offense this season, I don't think "could have been int's" is a topic I'd bring into this argument right now.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
