Brissett on the other hand is better than we thought he would be. Maybe they should give us a draft pick to take him. The market should dictate whether the Colts or their trade partner want to trade. I assume the Colts take a cap hit for the bonus if they trade him. They would certainly acknowledge being in rebuild mode. They would also lose a popular community guy. Although he hasn't lived up to his hype, he isn't bad or anything. Of course the Colts wouldn't and shouldn't trade him without getting value back. He isn't Osweiler. He nearly matched Hasselbeck who had a nice career. I do question what the other team should do given his name alone connotes visions of his projections. Should a team give up several ones because he was the be all and end all 8 years ago? Im leaving the shoulder out of this because we only know it has been a while and we don't know the prognosis. The Colts might and they would share the info in a trade. The whack a doo trip to Europe doesn't have a good look though. If I were the Bills I'd have a long talk with the kid to see where his head is at, I'd offer the Colts a 2018 2 and 2019 2 with the 2019 turning into a 1 if he plays 14 regular season games, and turning into a 4 if he plays less than 8. If I'm the Colts that probably isn't enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2010 Manning led them to a 10-6 record. Without any Qb anyone would remember in 2011 with Manning out, they were indeed awful. Luck comes in in 2012 and restores order. The whole team did not fall apart the year before luck arrived, just the QB play. For those who forget: Kerry Collins - 3 games, 49.0% completions, 2 TD/1 Int and a rating of 65.9 Curtis Painter - 9 games, 54.3% completions, 5 TD/9 INT and a rating of 66.6 (that was the highest rating of his career, the other two years with very limited games 9.8 & 19.0 rating respectively) Dan Orlovsky - 8 games, 63.2% completions, 6 TD/4 INT and a rating of 82.4 (Also the highest rating of his career) Obviously some games w/multiple QBs but the point is, they were BAD. This was not a perpetually bad team, just a one year bump due to QB issues. So, the one year they didn't have a great QB in that time frame, they were awful? I think you just proved his point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if the Bills offered them their 2 firsts and a player, maybe a little more, it would be a coup for the Colts, 3 first round pics, and a credible player like Glenn? I think McDaniels would like that. First off, it would immediately make the Colts HIS team versus Luck's, and he'd have the draft capital to build a contender, almost immediately. Plus they have Brissett who can hold place until the Rookie gets in. They have allot of holes on that team and Luck draws a huge salary. Sounds crazy but who knows. All I know is that I would be buying his jersey immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthNYfan Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 51 minutes ago, 4merper4mer said: Never said he was hot garbage....I said he hasn't lived up to his hype. Was the time Matt Hasselbeck replaced Luck and improved the Colts record considered pre injury or post injury? Which injuries are you counting? You mean the time luck tore cartridge in multiple ribs in week 3 against the Titans, in which he won the game, missed 3 weeks, then tried to play through it for 4 more games before being shutdown for the season due to the injury, after receiving painkiller injections before and during each game, games which they lost to: -the eventual 12-4 Patriots and Brady -the eventual 15-1 Panthers and cam during his mvp and Superbowl season -the 7-9 saints with Brees during a 3 game hot streak of them scoring 31, 27, 52 points All of which were 1 score loses Then he beat the broncos, you know, who went 12-4 and won the Superbowl, before he was shutdown for the season from a kidney laceration he received during a hit that game. Your a moron when it comes to Andrew Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you just proved his point. Quite the contrary. Having a good team with a good QB, being bad with AWFUL QB play, and returning to a good team does not mean the whole team was inherently bad. What it means is the team has the capacity to be at least a respectable team with a good QB. I have read on here more times than I can count how if we had QB XXX we would win x # games more. That doesn't mean the whole team was bad. Let's look at past year. The Bills win 9 games. If a QB of the equivalent talent of Painter is at the helm we may win maybe 3 or 4 and I'm not sure I would bet on that. Does that mean all the rest of the players on the team went to ****? The point I was making was Luck did not take over a terrible team. He inherited a better than average team that went through a year with awful QB play.

HansLanda Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I like this in theory, but when was the last time Luck actually participated fully in even a practice? Hell, when was the last time he threw period? If Luck's health is back, I'm 100% on board with trying to get him. I just have questions about that shoulder.
