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.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
