Looks like IF Luck does come out....

Umm...duh?

It's not such a big duh. The last couple of years they team with #1 couldn't trade out of it. This year, I hope we don't.

I don't see Denver mortgaging their future for Luck. The Golden Calf of Bristol has played well enough recently to make them think that they don't need to do anything drastic. 49ers and Card, however...

No, you don't. The Colts could have traded away for Manning and picked up seven extra picks and they would have still been shitty this whole decade. You just don't pass up a kid like this. You take him and build aroun him via draft and free agency. Worst case scenario we have another mediocre year his rookie season and we get more high draft picks and build up even more.

Maybe there's a reason I'm not a GM, but I wouldn't trade a Manning or Brady for the best DT, best WR and some oline depth. Maybe that makes me foolish but the NFL is driven by QB's, the rules are centered around QB's, and QB's are babied to last 15+ years in the league. You just can't lose that because someone throws some extra ones at you.

Exactely!! No amount of picks is worth passing on a franchise QB. I undestand nothing is guaranteed and that is the same with any other position. When you have a guy like they are ALL talking about Luck you have to take him. It not like we already have our QB for the next 10yrs on the roster. Now we just need him to declare.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
