Life must suck if you are Andrew Luck

Let's facing it, anything the Colts does from here on in will be spinned into something positive for Luck. Unless he out and out bomb, Luck will be given a very long leash to fail. Remember this is Andrew Luck.The kid was already annointed the "greatest QB to come along in 34 years" by the so called scouts and sports experts. Since they have annointed him, I'm sure they will give him time to grow.

Won't predict the same for RG III. Like Cam, he will be on a very short leash. May not be as short as Cam's thou.

Also, truth be known, Cam and the few of the offensive guys had individually successfully accomplishment last season but the Panthers as a team could have done much better and that wasn't because of Cam.

They probably want to surround him with younger talent that he can grow with (Vincent Jackson, Marquese Colston, ect.) rather than lean on Clark and Wayne into their mid-to-late 30s while the rest of the team is rebuilt.

if they are wise, the re-sign Garcon and have him as the number one, sign Manningham or/and Early Doucet and if they dont get Garcon, go after one of those two Saint's WRs if the Redskins dont get one of them.

i think RG3's leash will be long due to Snyder. he's not going to waste an investment quickly, i think he will give him time and if Shanahan is fired, i still see RG3 as the QB in Washington and if he fails under another coach, then he's gone, but i think he will be fine.

the Colts have 38 million in dead money, with an estimated 82 mil cap to work with. ouch.

I can't see the Colts winning more than 5 games next year, Luck strived in a system that was run heavy, and use the Play Action a lot. When have the Colts ever been a good running team? SUCK WITH LUCK campaign, will run until 2016....

Yep but they are gonna throw some money at him. They are cleaning house of older guys not the younger guys. He will remain a Colt. Finding a new number 1 WR is not on the to do list. I think they believe Garcon can be that guy.

I saw where Garcon turned down a huge deal a few days ago... sounds to me he doesnt want to be there. I wouldnt count on him being there...

Sam Bradford did alright as a rookie #1 overall QB on a team with piss-poor offense. It should be interesting to see what Luck can do with his supporting cast.

I wish him well, but I certainly don't want him to eclipse Cam's accomplishments.

Yeah, he had one of the best rookie years statistically (probably a little worse than it looked on paper since it was very easy, high volume throws) since marino throwing to guys like danny amendoula. Then mcdaniels came in and did what he does: screw things up at quarterback.

Cam's records are safe regardless. No one, at least no one in this years draft, will come in and do what Cam did. He's 10 times the athlete any of these QB's are. Dude has the build of a f***ing defensive end, running around like a wide receiver throwing the ball like a pro bowl QB. Ridiculousness.

Nah, life is good. Luck is in a pretty good position. When i look at the roster i do not see a Edge James but they do have a nice young RBC in Delone Carter, Donald Brown and Darren Evans. A young WR corp of Anthony Gonzalez, Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie. A young LT in Anthony Castonzo. A switch to a 3-4 actually is gonna be a good one for them as well. Jerry Hughes, Drake Nevis, Robert Mathis and Phillip Wheeler should all thrive in the new scheme. A new safety ( easily available through FA) to pair with Bethea, a young TE to pair with Luck (Draft) and a nose tackle is the biggest needs i see for the Colts.

anthony gonzales was already told hes out, garcon turned down a contract paying him 7m annually he doesnt want to be back. collie may never be able to play again because of concussions and jacob tamme is a FA

    • 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.
