This bloated contract should at least hinder the Colts in bringing in supporting talent. Their poor choices in trades and drafting will hopefully continue to hurt them as well.

Yeah, I was a little harsh on Pagano but I feel like part of the blame for Luck taking such a god awful beating is on him. Of course, if his FO would draft a ****ing O lineman once in a blue moon...

So, he's getting roughly 2X the guaranteed $ that KC gave Alex Smith... worth it.

Marcellus 06-29-2016 03:29 PM

Imagine what Alex's next extension is going to cost now!

In all seriousness wasn't there a study on how teams did when 20% (or something Aron d that) or more of their cap space was tied up in 1 player and it wasn't good?

'Hamas' Jenkins 06-29-2016 03:29 PM

Luck's biggest problem is that he plays for two dipshits and has a charity case for a head coach.

Due to the stupidity of the franchise tag he couldn't really leave. If this were basketball or baseball, his ass would be gone (and rightly so) after this year.

I'm not saying he's not worth it in today's era of insanely inflated QB salaries, but I keep wondering when Luck is gonna live up to the hype.

When he takes a smaller salary and allows the team to build around him. Chiefs are geniuses in this regard.

I don't know about a study but QB's can kill their own team with their salary demands.

Peyton Manning killed the colts
Brees killing the saints
Luck looks to be killing the colts again

The benefits of having a great QB start dropping as soon as they start their 'highest paid in the league' race.

Red Dawg 06-29-2016 03:35 PM

They will treat Luck like Manning. He will have to win with his arm without help on the defensive side. Teams will drop[ 40 on them this year for sure as they have nothing on defense at all.

ThaVirus 06-29-2016 03:35 PM

Not worth it

O.city 06-29-2016 03:37 PM

Even at that, for a franchise qb it's pretty underpaid compared to other sports and their salaries.

If luck plays to that level, it's worth it

I have a feeling the NFL will treat Luck like Manning as well. Who are the other 'stud' QB's they could pimp?

25 mill a year?

:rolleyes:
