What are the chances of Andrew Luck becoming a donk?
 
I’m not familiar with the extent of his injury or what his contract situation is with Indy. Not sure what Denver’s cap room is, not that it ever mattered to those cheating bastards. I’m deeply concerned Elway will use the same charm offensive he used to get Peyton Manning to come to Denver seeing as how horseface and Luck have the Stanford connection. Am I being paranoid for thinking that Elway could find a way to bring Luck to Denver and revive his career? We already know Elway is desperate for a QB.

Why the **** would Indy trade him?

Dumb question. If Luck is fine, they're not trading him, and if he's got perma AIDS, what the **** does it matter if Denver has him or not?

There's no charm involved. Indy is relying on Luck as their franchise QB. They're not going to cut him, and they're not going to ****ing trade him.

Currently on a guaranteed 87 million through 2021 contract with Indy

Chances are slim, but if Elway is willing to sell his soul for star power, who knows

Just stabbing in the dark for the threads sake here, but...

San Diego thought Brees had perma-aids, and look how that turned out

Well that’s why I asked. I didn’t know what his contract situation in Indy was or if Luck was unhappy with the GMs incompetence and wanted out. We all thought Manning’s injuries made him AIDS and look what happened. It usually ends up as us Chiefs fans getting ****ed in the ass. That’s why I think every bad scenario for us is always a possiblity.

What? No. Not even close.

Phillip Rivers at #5 overall, dude. He was already drafted and on the team before the Chargers saw any kind of consistently good QB play out of Brees, and it was for only a single season at that. They got rid of him because they had a franchise guy in the wings and had never seen Brees play well beyond one season.

Andrew Luck is basically the exact opposite situation of Brees.

If you want a halfway comparable situation to the Colts parting ways with Luck, think Jake Plummer getting traded to Denver. Arizona not only got Plummer killed multiple times, but they were also just tired of his shitty ways and trying to work around his shortcomings. Bonus points for matching the Denver destination in both scenarios, too.

Only problem is of course... Andrew Luck is Andrew Luck and Jake Plummer was... well... Jake ****ing Plummer.

The Colts let a prime Peyton Manning go when he was supposedly injured.


I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Denver ended up with Luck.

If Ballard trades Luck to Denver, Lucks shoulder is probably perma****ed.

Lucks shoulder wouldn’t make it 8 games in Denver.

And Manning was going to break his neck, right?

Wade Phillips ain’t walking through that door, bud.

I’d rather see them trade a bunch of picks for the ghost of Andrew Luck with a huge guaranteed price tag than draft a QB in the first.

In this division, somebody would probably keep his right arm as a momento.

That's because they knew they had Luck.

Say it with me.

Young franchise QB. Andrew Luck. Dominance and brilliance for ANOTHER goddamn 15+ seasons if you cut bait with Frankenstein.

Teams NEVER get rid of league-dominating franchise QBs just for ****ing shits. There is ALWAYS another franchise QB ALREADY ON THE ROSTER or ready to be imminently acquired. Can anybody name a single instance where a team had a great thing going at QB and then they just said, "**** it, we're done here" without bothering to ensure they have a future franchise guy as the replacement?

Like I said, Arizona traded Jake Plummer when they had nothing, and Jake Plummer wasn't exactly a franchise QB for them. Can you think of any other instance?

I mean... the Bears letting Jay Cutler walk? We have to scrape the bottom of the barrel in terms of QB talent to find such an instance.

RealSNR 11-15-2017 11:49 PM

You guys want to know the best example I can think of where a team got rid of a franchise QB just to get rid of him?

Elvis Grbac.

Yeah, no kidding. Remember that 2000 season where he threw for 4000+ yards and had some damn fine stats? Rainbows to Tony G and Derrick Alexander all day long, baby. Alexander had a ****ing OUTSTANDING year for a WR.

And we just let him walk. Period. No questions asked. I mean, we were trying to arrange a Trent Green trade, but that wasn't guaranteed, and it was at least a month or so AFTER Grbac had signed with Baltimore that we finally got the trade deal done for Green.
