Not a chance.

Let me put it this way....

If we are sitting at 2nd overall, I would STILL trade a boatload to trade up with Indy to draft Luck.

IMO Luck gives you the best of both worlds and is clearly the best prospect in this class and its not a 1a and 1b situation that some are making it out to be.

That's something that he will have no problems picking up, as smart as he is. The footwork, the understanding of the pocket, everything. He's already taking snaps under center. He's already used to understanding coverages. I think it will take some time, sure, but there's absolutely no reason why an NFL offense should have to go Tyler Thigpen/Tim Tebow for him.

Im not saying that at all and I agree that his learning curve will likely be smaller than some might think... but if we are gonna maximize his immense potential, we need to run an offense that utilizes aall of his strengths and Im not sure his frame could handle the amount of abuse it would endue year in and year out.

Keep inmind, this is coming form a guy that would do almost anything to draft a real franchise quarterback....Im just not gonna cover my eyes and plug my ears and think that he would be coming in with a lot of experience in running an offense that resembles what he would be asked to do in the NFL if we are to have a chance at winning a championship with him.
