They didn't just say, "WHOOOOOOPS! OUR FRANCHISE QB IS INJURED? BOY WE SURE DO SUCK, HUH? I WISH THE NFL WOULD BAIL US OUT WITH THE #1 OVERALL PICK SO WE COULD NOT SUCK SO MUCH!"
The Colts never legitimately sucked. They just built their team precariously around one of the best QBs in the game, and when that lynchpin was removed they fell apart. It's total ****ing bullshit to just one day find your franchise QB injured with the next big thing one of the best QB prospects the draft has seen in a long time.
The Packers were picking in the back of the first round. They planned the transition from Favre to the next guy. They said, "Rodgers will be the next starter." They traded up to go get him. They did their homework, worked him through on the bench, and invested a LOT to go get him.
What did the Colts invest to get Andrew Luck? ****ing nothing.
