    he does still have a year left of eligibility... leverage.. (and Eli Manning did it when the Chargers picked him). so yes, it absolutely does.

  • Luck just said today and I qoute, "Anywhere I end up will be a good situation for me."

  • The Polians are available and we're stuck with Holmgren. Bummer.

    Umm before you get all lovey dovey about the Polians, maybe you should review their recents drafts. Awful might come to mind as something to describe them.

    Sure. I expect there is a reason this team is 2-14....without P. Manning they were the worst team in the league. I guess that says it all.

  • The Polian father and son got fired from Indianapolis, on Monday...

    Does that help or hurt our chances at grabbing Andrew Luck?

    Your thoughts...

    My thoughts are yes its more likely they are to trade doesnt mean it will happen. Reason I think this is if Manning is healthy no way a new GM comes in and lets him go as one of his first acts so if Manning is healthy he will be on the Colts next yr. With Polian a release or trade if he was healthy was far more plausible. If Manning isnt healthy of course all bets are off. Also, Reggie Wayne is likely gone and Robert Mathis I think is a FA plus rumors are that 2 Colts offensive lineman may retire if all those things occur then they will need all the picks they can get to fill those positions plus the already known holes they had. A new GM would say the value in trading the #1 pick to restock the team when you already have a arguably the best QB in the game healthy and ready to go. So I think it increases the chances of them trading but that doesnt mean it happens with us or even happens at all.

  • Shefter actually said this morning the Browns were in the hunt to get Payton Manning?

  • Yeah, they must really suck. Years and years of playoff appearances, two super bowls and one title are pretty shitty results. Lord knows we don't need that in Browns town.

    I wouldn't be mad with that if the Colts ended up releasing him instead of trying to trade him and we could just sign him in FA. I we have to give up two first round draft picks I want it to be for someone who is going to be in the league for more than 5 more seasons.

    Once you declare, you can't go back to college, so eligibility will matter not.

    We are not getting Andrew Luck, this thread is useless.

    Most of that is Manning, their recent drafts have been horrible. If you dont believe me look them up yourself.

    thats a matter of opinion. frankly, i'd take their track record of 10+ years of playoff appearances in a row to anything our goons have done. you can try to mitigate that as being all on manning, but thats myopic to say the least. there's 21 other guys....unless manning has been snapping himself the ball, taking handoffs, catching passes, returning punts,.....etc.

    of course QB is an important part, no team succeeds without one. they built a team for manning...shortsighted? maybe...but it brought a championship.

    if your only angle is that theyve missed some picks in "recent" drafts, then by that criteria not a single current GM is employable. its not like heckert has tore it up either bro....

    Sometimes I like to tuck my weiner up inside my body when I post and call myself "CantonLegend".

  • Polian took Carolina to the playoffs in year two. That's impressive too.
