Manning uses too much cap space for the team upgrade in free agency too much. By using the 1st round pick on Luck you're basically saying that Manning is a lame duck QB and you are planning for the future. I just don't see how they do that with a guy that is as revered and productive as Manning.
You can't sit Luck
You can't flush Manning's productive years
If Manning is healthy i still think you have to trade the pick or trade Manning |
Good point. Luck is a lot more polished and NFL ready than Rodgers was coming out of college. Which means he could start right away. And Manning is still playing at a high level, so......It's a bit of a difficult situation like that.
I could see it happening only if Luck doesn't mind sitting it out and learning behind one of the best. Which would extremely benefit his game. In fact, I think it would be a very wise choice if he does do such a thing.
