SouthNYfan Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 4 hours ago, Fan in Chicago said: It is entirely fair to state your opinion on Luck. The last sentence was not required. And he is one of the long standing , respected members of this form. I don't agree with calling anyone a moron, esp posters like him. *I assume you meant "forum" and not "form"* He may not personally be a moron, I stated that he was a moron in regards to his assessment of Andrew Luck, which I still feel is true. Feel free to disagree with that, doesn't change my stance on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they didn’t anticipate the success they had because they traded Watkins, Darby, Dareus and Ragland to gain picks for this year’s Draft. An obvious sign they were setting themselves up to make a big transition in 2018. And no, listen to Beane’s comments, the Bills are not in “win now” mode. Im ecstatic they won this year I really like McD as a coach, but it’s easy to see they achieved beyond their talent level (due to good coaching and team mentality). To me getting Luck is a sign they have adjusted their initial timeline - I’m just not convinced that’s accurate. Also, to those saying he’s 28, you’re right but will be 29 when season starts. And presuming a guy to play well past 35 is a large leap to me including the interest of desire of a player to do that - not saying he would or wouldn’t, but based on age it’s a true risk you give up a lot for a guy you’ll have for 4 years, when you have the Draft capital to get your franchise QB for the next 12-15 years .....at probably about the same cost.

We don't even know if Luck will ever be able to play football again. Even if he's cleared, there's no way he's going to be at his peak. Why go after damaged goods? So stupid. ENTER Drew Brees! Quote Drew Brees started his professional career with the San Diego Chargers, earning the starting job in 2002 and making the Pro Bowl in 2004. Nine months after suffering a bad dislocation in his shoulder joint and a 360 degree tear of his labrum and rotator cuff, Brees signed with the New Orleans Saints as a free agent. He met immediate success in New Orleans, earning ten trips to the Pro Bowl and leading the Saints to their first Super Bowl in Super Bowl XLIV, a 31–17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

Brees' surgeon called him a miracle and said he never expected him to return to 100%. Brees also didn't play an entire year with a torn labrum, continuing to shred it and turn it into spaghetti. Pre-injury Luck was amazing. If he returns to even 85% he's a bonafide franchise QB. I would love him. I'm just not sure Indy jettisons him if he's even 70%.

Add in the fact that Brees didnt pass a physical in Miami and Saban was not able to sway the organization to sign him anyway. They went with Culpepper. Payton had the Dr on his medical staff in NO who performed the shoulder surgery and got Brees cleared in the physical. If Brees went to Miami Saban is still in the NFL.

ALF Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Luck's trade value is low until he can play again healthy. Indy could draft a QB high and sit him behind Luck till ready. Keep the best one and trade value for the other is high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, wait a minute ... http://www.espn.com/blog/afcwest/post/_/id/12461/mcdaniels-legacy-is-tebow Seriously, though: McDaniels is an egotist. He shares that with many great coaches, as well as with many total failures as NFL coaches. He is the kind of guy who could very easily say give me Darnold/Rosen/Allen/Mayfield (they have the 3rd overall pick) and I'll shape him into the NFL QB I want. That way he'd get full credit for a Colts resurgence rather than sharing it with the triumphant return of Andrew Luck. Or maybe we could sweeten the deal by including Nathan Peterman ...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports there are still doctors who have concerns about Andrew Luck's shoulder and whether he may require additional surgery. As soon as Josh McDaniels backed out of the Colts' head-coaching job on Tuesday night, rumors began to swirl that McDaniels may know something about Luck's shoulder that the public does not. We doubt that's the case, but the concern around Luck is legitimate after he missed all of 2017 due to complications from right shoulder surgery. Luck needs to start throwing again ASAP to squash the rumors, and they're not going to go away until he does so.
