Luck to get a record $25M a year?

I seriously want people to go back two years ago when everyone was crying about Newton's potential contract being $20M a year, saying that we should franchise tag and then trade Newton for draft picks, and we should keep drafting 1st round QBs instead of giving Newton so much of the salary cap...

I told the Huddle then that Andrew Luck's overrated self was going to get a ridiculous $25M a year deal and no one will bat an eye. I said some would even consider it a bargain for the Colts!

What I could not predict was just how awful of a season Luck would be coming off of to still get that deal.

I remember the Huddle laughing at Seattle for even THINKING about giving Wilson $17M a year saying that he was not worth it and would cripple their team.

But let me guess Huddle, Luck is totally worth it, right? Newton and Wilson totally deserves about $12M while Luck deserves about $35M, right?

Yeah, remember the ones who insisted he wasn't worth any more than $16M per year?  And if he wanted more than that we should get the best we could get for him in a trade?

Good times, good times.

Ryan Kelly is a great player and pick.  Great news for all those that want to see the crash and burn though is too little/too late after so many other stupid moves.  The rest of that division gained ground as well.

Yeah, Ryan Kelly was one of my favs in this last draft.

IMO kids gonna be a stud.

Somebody was going to take him and get a good player.  Better them than the Seahawks, who desperately needed him and were going to trade with Buffalo had Indy not.

Are you talking about the same Huddle?

Most here hold a special level of hate towards Neckbeard, myself included. 

He's good, but nowhere near GOAT that the media paints him out to be. 

Give me Cam and even dadbod Wilson over Luck any day. 

[KSpan]

Let's be serious here - Sam Bradford just got $35MM over 2 years w/ 22 of that guaranteed, Kirk Cousins is getting $20MM under the franchise tag, Brock Osweiler got $18MM a year for 4 years with the first 2 years fully guaranteed, and Chase freakin' Daniel got $21MM for 3 years with 12 of that guaranteed. QB salaries, rightly or wrongly, are skyrocketing thanks to these insane contracts and even average QBs are going to be getting exorbitant salaries and the numbers will only continue to go up.

there were a couple of loudmouth posters and hit and run trolls that were decidedly in that camp, but not many.  there were several posters (some of them pretty well established, actually) who were on the fence about cam though and if things got heated they'd start slinging luck's name around to prove a point.  considering what went down after the 2010 season when he decided to go back to school and how it resulted in a good chunk of the fanbase wondering about the role that the quality of the panthers as an organization may have (allegedly) played in that, it makes sense that andrew luck was a sore topic for many people.

very few of the posters referenced in the first sentence bother to show their faces around here anymore, though.  like how long has it been since TonyN has popped in?  that dude would just not shut up about whatever random stat-of-the-day he had plucked out of his ass that proved cam was a bad quarterback and then *poof* nothing.

edit: LOL i just checked his post history and one of the last things he was doing here in spring 2015 was arguing with people about how ryan tannehill and colin kaepernick were better than cam

[O-Ther]

The more Luck gets, the more Brees will get from the Taints. Pay that neckbeard

Oh remember those guys, I just assumed people saw them, endured them and let the flare up go away...

I seriously think I repressed the memory of those turds. 

I know there was always a few TRD, Gritz and other dummies who bashed Cam at every opportunity, but I don't remember the contract talk. 

Damn.

There isn't a single person on this site that thinks Luck is worth anything near what he's about to get, let alone the outrageous number you threw out.

kinda makes Cam's deal seem like a bargain, don't it?

[arieslibra1]

I'm not surprised. QBs getting paid more and more.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Let the colts pay for one of the most overhyped players in the history of the NFL. Dude has literally won nothing is his lifetime in the NFL and he's getting not only this deal but so much support and he STILL can't get to a Super Bowl. 

[SIGCHI222]

Please let Luck Get 30m a year.  40m would be even better.

 

Irsay knows what he is doing.
