Jesus, could you just imagine had he been behind our O line? Hate it for him.

There's absolutely no reason to believe he would have had that same shoulder injury in carolina. 

football is a blood sport where poo happens

the colts problem was how they managed it, forcing him to play on it for two years and letting god knows what happen to it in the meantime. 

colts are a trash organization who lucked in to him

I read he did what Cam did, knew his shoulder was hurt but kept passing through the pain. Difference was he apparently hurt his in the beginning of the season, like game three and kept playing. Having surgery a week after an injury and 10 months after an injury are two completely different things. He changed his mechanics to lessen the pain which put more stress on different parts of his shoulder which only increased the damage. Hate it for the guy but I find this mentality of "I've got to play through the pain to show the other guys I'm with them" is stupid and in his case possible career ending.

Bullet dodged.

Panthers got lucky getting the far more durable Newton because the results would have been largely the same if Luck came to Carolina. The only difference between the Colts and Panthers is, the Panthers know how to build and play defense.

That really sucks. I have no problem with Luck and hold no grudge against him for staying in school for his senior year like some in this community. The guy has always been a class act.

Maybe the Colts can trade him a-la the Chargers with Brees in 2006 and draft Sam Darnold, who I think is the most overrated QB in CFB this year.

Yeah, he's not good to me.

Pretty much. If we can say the only decent weapon we have given Cam in Olsen, the Colts can say the only decent weapon they gave Luck is Hilton(to me that is exaggerated). Though they did attempt to draft a 1st round WR from Miami, cant think of his name in which he as already traded to Patriots while we drafted KB. And our o-line has significantly been better than theirs, if anyone can fathom that.

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

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
