Andrew Luck to Bills speculation/chatter

[dave mcbride]

Just now, Dr. Who said:

If he's healthy, which seems to be still very much in question, you absolutely want Luck if Colts are willing to deal.  Seems to me they would only be willing, however, if health is going to be an on-going issue.

My sense is that he'll eventually be 100 percent. They deliberately took it slow, in part because I think Luck was extremely pissed at the team for how they handled it initially. Luck's relationship with the organization is ultimately the wild card in all of this.  He may demand to get out, and it may the be the case that McDaniels doesn't want to deal with this sort of situation. They can trade Luck for picks 21 and 22, and then draft a QB at 3 in what is the best QB draft in years. That's not a bad plan for a new coach. 

 

Also, the fact that he doesn't appear to need another surgery is pretty big news. That news just came out.

A healthy Luck at a much lower hit than Cousins would be perfect.  It would take a NO style roll of the dice.  Brees did not pass a physical at Miami and Saban couldnt  get the organization to clear him.  Payton took him as is and the rest is history.  A 1st and a 3rd with a conditional pick next year.  If Luck plays 50% of the snap a 3rd.  80%  goes to a second.  Make the probowl it is a 1st.  Indy at 3 could decided to move on get a top Qb and build the roster around them added cap space and draft picks.

If this is actually a possibility I 100% support trading a 1st a second (or maybe 2 seconds) and/or a player to get this done.

 

I may even think about a 1st this year and 1st next year.

I think they'd have to trade 21 and 22 for an elite QB like Luck. That's the price one has to pay. The Bills specifically got that extra pick last year to deal with the QB situation in 2018, after all. They are NOT going to avoid seeking a huge upgrade at the position. Beane said as much.

Id like to hold onto at least 1 first this year but I would be ok with 1st & 2nd this year + future 1st, and player(s)

[Dr. Who]

If I think Luck is healthy, I'm trading 21 and 22 all day.   Just for comparison, I think Luck is much better than Kirk, he's two years younger than Cousins and his cap hit is going to be millions less than the contract Cousins will get.

1 year younger but yes better and slightly cheaper

[Mat68]

Its a unique situation but also the coach hasn't had a chance to evaluate the team and set his own plan into place.  They have a good position in the draft but have a wide range of needs and not alot of cap space.  If the coach is who everyone expects he very well may like Brissett and be fine with him as a placeholder to develop a rookie.  If they move Luck early on in the league year they can add much more help during FA with the added cap space.  Do you gamble Luck is back to what he was and build around him?  If he is not his market will never be higher than now and they would be stuck with a massive contract.  That is as boom or bust as taking Mayfield Rosen, Darnold, or Allen but for significantly less financial obligations to at least sure up the rest of the roster.  I 100% believe that it will be a major discussion for them and If the right offer comes calling it could sway it.  To me it will be one of the main stories to follow this off-season.

I dont think they would even do it.....but I would absolutely give up both firsts for Luck.

Yeah I'm a PT

I deal with sports injuries daily

I'm very wary of Luck

I'm very wary of our medical staff and their history of player evaluation

I'm also completely tired of not "going big or going home" in regards to our QB situation

Really I've come to the point where I'm throwing my hands up and saying "what the f*ck ? Let's get Luck"

If it goes poorly I would be sad, but less upset than if we didn't swing for the fences and stayed Pat at QB.

It's not happening and never even considered based on what I know.

 

Also do you think McDaniels would leave NE for a team without a franchise QB? He's not stupid especially after what happened in Denver with Tebowmania.

 

It's conceivable that McDaniels likes Brisset,or one of the rookies. Unlikely,but within the realm of possibility.

I agree.  If its not Luck ok but go get a guy.  Not just be content with what is left.

Add in the risk reward with Luck or the risk reward with a draft pick it is interesting.  Now put 80 mil on Luck or 25 mil on the draft pick that levels the field even more.

Think about it! The Colts have the #3 pick overall and could land whichever QB the Browns don't pick. Not to mention that the Brownies don't have a track record of ever getting it right. They could have had Mitchell Turbisky, Patrick Mahomes or DeShaun Watson last year and passed on all of them. 

 

Should the Colts trade Luck for a bunch of picks Josh McDaniels could groom whichever rookie QB he wants (Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield, Allen) and with those extra picks build a solid team around that new QB. 

 

The only way this works out is if Luck is completely healthy and if he is I'd find it hard to believe that the Broncos wouldn't get their Elway involved.

Seriously, what the heck is going on with our medical staff? I'm baffled by the amount of players we consistently rush back from injury who then are later put on IR or have to sit out for weeks. It's like they have ZERO judgement of when a player is recovered enough to play.

Imagine if they traded Luck and then both Cleveland and the Giants picked QBs in front of them...they'd be trading a franchise QB for the 3rd QB in the class.  It wouldn't be whichever QB he wants.

 

Which is why, IMO, the trade of Luck wouldn't happen until--at the earliest--the Colts are on the clock.  More likely, they'd make their pick (assuming the QB that they want is there), then trade Luck to someone else in time to make their other pick(s) in the first round.

[I_want_2_BILL_Lieve]

If I am Colts, trading Luck could be in my best interest. 

 

They have a new coach coming in - who presumably is familiar with Brisset. So there is a comfort factor for the new coach. They can still draft a qb third overall and groom him accordingly. 

 

The additional incoming multiple picks and players acquired (Glenn for example) are immediate upgrades at different positions. Taking Luck's cap hit off the books also leaves money to be active in free agency.  

 

While Brisset might be the opening day starter, they would have conceivably upgraded multiple starter positions while still having their QB of the future. 

 

If I am a Colts fan, that's a lot of positive change for my team during the offseason. I'd be very excited about the future: New coach, new QB to pin my hopes on, upgraded roster through the draft and free agency. 

 

So as a franchise, the trading of Luck is an easy sell to the fan base.

He has played 3 full seasons at 11-5 record each, went 10-12 over 1.5 seasons playing through injuries, including a full season last year with the torn labrum.

He's still holding 43-27 career record, while averaging 4300 yards, 32td and 16int over a 16 game season INCLUDING averaging in the injured years.

 

You can say all you want that luck might not recover, that you are fearful of the injury history, that's all valid.

 

You're completely clueless if you think he was anywhere near a bust pre injury.

The winning records came it what was literally the worst division in the history of football.

 

The Colts lost on purpose to get him and then let go of an all time great with Super Bowls in his FUTURE to clear a spot.  He cost them a lot and would cost us a ton of picks too.

 

I don't think I have ever called him a bust.  He is not Ryan Leaf.  But he had the highest expectations of anyone ever coming out of college.  He has come nowhere close to meeting them.  8 years later Emperor Luck is still having everyone tell him his new clothes look awesome.
