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.

Poor guy. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
