Colts are gonna royally fug their salary cap

He's earned it. We we're so close to drafting him, but he clearly didn't want to come here. Ask the Saints what happens when you pay your QB too much.

After 3 years, Andrew Luck has...

4 more wins vs .500+ teams

6 more touchdowns

8 more turnovers

...than Cam Newton had after 3 years

ALL HAIL ANDREW LUGOAT

His 16-2 W/L & stat stuffing against the atrocious AFCS has really, really, really turned him into a mythical creature.

Yeh, every single team that has paid their quarterbacks have made it so they cant close the deal afterwards.

Peyton haters can say he couldnt close the deal but it was his enormous cap figure that hamstrung the colts.

Teams have tried to get smarter with Flaccos deal making a cap of less than 15 million for a few years or Kaeps deal where its really a year to year contract.

Still, you just cant have a player making 1/5 or more of the salary cap and win a Superbowl.

Until someone proves me wrong, and that will be the exception, its a law.

Luck has won 11 games every year being in the league with a sub par supporting cast and bottom of the league defense. I don't think they are going to have any issues.

16-2 vs AFCS

17-13 vs everybody else

As long as HOU, TEN, & JAX stay in the bottom 5 of the NFL he will continue to rack up meaningless wins & stats in the regular season.

The NFCS was bad this year, what was Cam's record against them? We cannot continue to discredit those wins when even we cannot get those wins.

    • Depends on who is available that free agency cycle, which we would never know, sadly.
    • I am not getting too far ahead of myself on expectations. I predicted 4-7 wins and I feel pretty good about that considering the rest of the remaining schedule.  The biggest remaining thing to figure out is Bryce. We have to get that situation determined over the remainder of his starts. I am 90-10 against picking up that 5th year but that scenario should immediately involve a trade when that happens. I suspect it will not happen that way at all. Ekwonu looks great, so that fantastic. Brown and Horn are staying healthy and living up to those massive contracts. That's amazing. And the 2025 guys are looking filled with promise. Sadly the 2024 class just keeps looking worse.  So my remaining focus is on the development of TMac, Jimmy Horn, Coker, XL, Scourton, Umanmielen, Evans, etc. If we can get a few wins from that group this roster feels demonstrably better. Wharton has played well for the FA pickups too. 
    • I am gonna say that I don't know that all of the top 15 QB's would this offense cooking. Not only due to fit but I also have yet to be super impressed with DC the playcaller. For all the talk of DC being hamstrung by Bryce, I am not convinced he is a terribly adept OC.  Not saying the bulk of our offensive struggles are not primarily Bryce but I wouldn't be so sure an upgrade at QB would instantly turn us into an elite offense. I still question DC. Also, I will point out that most top 15 QB's would not be super pleased to be looking at the prospect of our WR Corps and TE group.
