If I'm Indy...

I'd take the quarterback that I thought was elite. To hell with the extra picks. If we had gotten something like Dareus, Gabbert, and Jabaal Sheard last year with some more picks coming, I would feel a lot worse about this team than I do now with just Cam.

A great quarterback is just too important for a franchise.

...and who would you draft to play QB since Peyton is gone and they cut Painter?

I don't think you have to throw in the "they cut Painter" he seems to be as bad as anybody in the league. But yeah, the point remains that a lot of picks are great, but you're just killing time until you get a great quarterback.

I trade the #1 pick for 4 1sts and 2 2nds

No way..... if I am Indy, I am staying put no matter what. UNLESS you feel Luck is gonna be a bust. Otherwise you stay right there and get your guy. We all had this same conversation last year and I felt the same way, and now we have our Franchise QB and he is worth way more than 4 1st and 2 2nds... in my opinion at least :cool:

The beauty of the situation is, since the rookie contract payscale came into place last year, they won't have to give up the rights to the stadium just to sign the kid. Can you imagine how big a contract this guy would have if the payscale didn't come into play, or even Cam for that matter?

and they'd still suck and be left with inferior options to build around at QB for years.

it sounds attractive but teams that trade down for a ton of picks like that rarely do well afterwards.

it seems on the surface like a bold and shrewd management move, but it turns out to be a putz move and they usually show how badly run they are.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
