Highly talented guy. But He's a gunslinger. He needs a strong HC to sort of reign him at times.

Luck averaging $24.6 million per year isn't surprising given his age and performance when healthy. Rodgers is earning $22, Flacco $22.1, Wilson $21.9 and so on.
The cap is rising a minimum of $10 million per year, so the Colts shouldn't be Cap strapped. But the biggest challenge the Colts face is that Grigson is the worst GM in recent history, even worse than Scott Pioli in KC, and that four years after Luck was drafted, their coaching staff and roster are worse. As for those that say Luck "isn't worth it", put him in Arizona, Denver, KC, Cincy, Minnesota, Buffalo, the Jets or the Rams. Everyone of those teams would be an instant Super Bowl favorite for the foreseeable future with Luck as their QB. |

Only problem with Luck is the stupid ass turnovers he commits. He's a true franchise QB, but I would honestly rather have Russell Wilson at this point.

Because it has to be one extreme or the other.

Definitely had to be done. I just hope he learns how to play with a little more concern for his health.
The o-line will be better this year so in theory that should help. We now have Luck, Hilton, Allen, Castonzo, and Kelly all locked up through 2019. Now, about the defense....... ![]()

I think it's a smart move. The time is coming... in 5 years, who are the great QBs going to be? Him. Wilson, likely Newton? Luck has clearly done the most with the least out of that group.
And if you gave Luck a defense that allowed 14 ppg like Wilson has had... Luck would likely have a Super Bowl or two under his belt. |

That contract is just fine if you have a half competent GM who can add a couple defensive playmakers and an OL through the draft.
The Colts do not. |

If you want to keep a young top QB, you gotta pay him... like it or not. Peyton Manning Tom Brady Eli Manning Ben Roethlisberger Russell Wilson Joe Flacco Aaron Rodgers Drew Brees Those 8 QBs have won 14 of the last 15 Superbowls... and they've been a part of 6 SB losses... those 8 guys get their teams to the big game, so you pay the best of the bunch now in hopes you do the same thing. Flacco, Ryan, Luck, Stafford, Dalton, Newton ... and some others will continue to break contract records.

Everyone wants a franchise QB. Don't want to pay for one though.
Chiefs doing it right. And in contention. |

Bengals have 'been in contention' too... there's no true right or wrong way to do it, the trick is getting away from bad contracts or aging players before it's too late and just knowing when to move on.
