MatthewPLP Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The Indianapolis Colts have been working on the parameters of a blockbuster deal for quarterback Andrew Luck, according to league sources. Many around the league expect a completed deal would make Luck the highest-paid player in the game, at a figure that could be right around $25 million per year. Conversations between Luck and the Colts have been ongoing, even though nothing can be finalized until the start of the new league year March 10. But both sides want to make it happen and are expected to keep trying to make it happen until a new deal is in place, locking Luck in Indianapolis for years to come. Dude has a career 58% completion rate, does this warrant him 25 mil per year? What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Cap will go up and Luck is a 3rd year QB who is perfectly on track to be what everyone said he would be. He won't be the highest paid for too long and in the meantime they don't have to worry about anything going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrissey Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Wilson's got a big fat bargaining chip on his finger. He's also the 3rd most important piece after the defense and Lynch.

BigRy56 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Rightfully so, he's the best quarterback in the game not named Brady/Manning/Rodgers. He's also half their age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson is one of the few QBs who can overcome mistake like that and win. I haven't seen Luck do that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colts still win that division with Wilson. Not a chance, the Colts are awful outside of Luck. The gap between the Colts running game with Herron and T. Richardson and the Seahawks with Lynch is huge. Wilson can't win with his arm, so take away his ability to run and or replace Lynch with Colts RBs put he's mediocre, as we saw yesterday. Wilson can only be successful off the run, we saw it yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Lynch throw those perfect passes in overtime? did you even watch yesterday? I give him credit for making that pass (clock was no longer an issue so they could use their entire playbook) but before that throw he was terrible. He had a 0 qb rating in the first half. Lynch saved that offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klecko73isGod Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 did you even watch yesterday? I did. I get the feeling you didn't.

Herron and Bradshaw are not Lynch, but they are good enough. And you are aware who is in their division, right? I could play QB and beat Jacksonville and Tennessee.

Colts WR are terrible, Hilton has some talent but he along with everyone else on that team drop easy passes consistently. Offensive line is terrible, running game since Bradshaw went down has been terrible. Defense gets shredded on the regular. That team for 3 years now has had no business being in the post season.

To deny this is to claim you didn't see it. we obviously watched different games, because I watched a game where Lynch put them within a TD of taking the lead with a 32 yard catch and run down the sideline tossing defenders to the side and scored the go ahead TD with 24 yard run juking players out of their cleats. All with less than 3 mins left in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The guy's still on pace to be an easy HOFer by the time he retires. 25 million a year is nothing to the NFL, Clayton Kershaw is making ~34-36 million dollars a year from 2016-2020 in the MLB.

Offensive line is terrible, running game since Bradshaw went down has been terrible. Defense gets shredded on the regular. That team for 3 years now has had no business being in the post season. All receivers drop passes. Hilton was 6th in the NFL in receiving yards. Bradshaw averaged 4.7 YPC and Herron 4.5. They had the number 19 defense in points and number 11 in yards. Not great, but hardly the league's worst. The idea that WIlson would only win three games there is ludicrous. 1) The Colts are more talented than you give them credit for, 2) It completely disparages Wilson, and 3)They could sweep the Titans and Jaguars if Geno was their QB.

I love Thomas Jones I don't know how to change my member title. Still hate Thomas Jones, though. The Jets might have won a Super Bowl with that offensive line if we had a RB that did more than "get exactly what is blocked". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
