Last year at this time Carolina had the #1 overall pick with Luck being the clear #1. We all thought Luck would come here and take us straight to a Superbowl victory. Then, due to the lockout and perhaps having to go to Carolina, Peyton convinced Luck to not declare for the draft. Luck listened, didn't declare and we were stuck with the #1 pick that no one wanted. We then struck gold with Cam who we can all agree, we would rather have than Luck.

Now, after Peytons injury, Luck is again the clear #1 overall pick, right where the Colts are sitting, and is apparently running Peyton out Indi.

Karma? Just an intersting thought.

Peyton didn't convince Luck not to declare for the draft; he told him to do what he felt was best. Luck didn't return to school because he didn't want to come to Carolina; he returned to school because he wanted to finish his degree. Luck isn't running Peyton out of Indy; Peyton's age, injuries and massive contract are running Peyton out of Indy.

Put the pipe down.

Personally I think Luck is in a lot of trouble. 1st he is the victim of insane media hype for 2 years running. Second he is gonna be the number one pick after the QB known as the Cam. Third he is going to the team that enjoyed uber success behind one of games best ever QB's. This kid is in for so much scrutiny i feel bad for him. Not only that but he doesn't even get the 70 million dollar rookie deal to help ease the pressure. It's a setup for epic failure.

Has he finished his degree? (Which is unaccredited)

How come he didn't declare his love for school before everyone knew who was picking #1?

Were you on the phone that day? Who else can you listen in on?

It is what it was, a snub.

Stanford isn't an accredited university anymore?

Everything that had been reported was that he was on track to graduate in May.

He said before the 2010 season he loved Stanford and wanted to stay until he finished his degree. He never once wavered from that statement, never once gave the impression he was seriously considering leaving.

Luck and Peyton have both said basically the same thing regarding the conversation.

The inferiority complex of some of you people is just embarrassing.

(If you want links, they are out there but you're going to need to search a bit because they are all over a year old by now.)

Likely multiple reasons that Luck stayed last year.(remember also announced shortly after JR's weird PC) But it was reported if IRC that Peyton told Luck how happy he was staying at Tennesee and if he didn't tell him flat out, came pretty close to advising him to stay in school. So it is a little ironic that Luck could be forcing Peyton out of Indy

Thanks for summing up all the pressure that is gonna be put on this kid (trying to one-up Cam being one of the biggest and most unlikely). I'm gonna have my eyes closely on Luck, because THIS SH*T IS GONNA BE HYPE!! I can't wait to see all the failure unfold, one interception at a time. :cam:

I don't know how I can continue to be shocked by the absurdity of things people believe here.

Where the hell do you people come from? I the stupidest people I've met in my real life compare favorably to the majority of the Huddle members.

Not only that but Indy is rebuilding mode. For those that think or thought Carolina was in rebuilding mode? Just look at Indy...that's rebuilding.

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      A team should always be putting at least one or two draft picks in at tackle and guard each season. Those guys just don't last nearly long enough and those that do get very, very expensive. In our situation, we need a little more time to see what the Icky injury works itself out to. Njiman performed really well out there and if this injury lingers into the next season, then he might do well enough there to hold the line for the team. Or we could draft early if there is a stud LOT in the draft when our spot comes along.  Honestly, we may be looking at replacing both LT and RT this season at this point. Moton is getting long in the tooth and while he deserves a shot to go for a playoff run with this team, I don't know whether we will really see him come back next season yet. It's still so darned early in all of this to say.

      Because we had a ton of things go our way this year and made the playoffs with a -70 point differential.  This year was the outlier.  Regression to the mean is unavoidable.  So the team will have to significantly improve to beat 8 wins next year.

      One thing I noticed in this game (and I say this as the biggest of Bryce Young haters) is that Bryce did do a solid job of throwing into voids in this game, and leading receivers on crossers.  There were a few times where I was thinking "where the hell is he throwing it" only for a receiver to appear out of nowhere and catch it in stride.  Mike McDaniel might be a guy that can squeeze a little bit of production out of the otherwise ghastly Bryce Young. His offenses heavily feature that style of passing game.  I've heard Idzik is drawing interest from other teams.  If so, bringing McDaniel in at OC would be a stellar move.  I know it'll never happen, but fun to think about.
