    I thought he was overrated when he entered the league and he's still overrated today. No way.

    The Colts may not make all the greatest moves but as it's been said why would they ever choose to trade Andrew luck a young FQB if healthy. The speculation regarding his health would run rampant if he was made available.
    Maybe for a salary dump but an Andrew Luck quality QB is rare. Not every team gets lucky such as with the saints getting Brees when the Chargers let him go due to injury concerns. Look how that worked out for them. If luck is given a good bill of health he will not be going anywhere.

    It was from 2015 while Luck was in negotiations for his mega deal with the colts. It's irrelevant

    True. I mean that’s so blunt and ridiculous. To tell a fan of a non-rivalry team “fuck your team” essentially, is pretty hard to believe.

    Unless the dude was being disrespectful I don’t believe it. That’s a response I would expect Tom Brady to give, not Luck.

    Luck is an all-around gamble.

    When will the Colts or anyone else know if he's healthy? Even if he starts and completes a throwing program, OTAs and training camp, no one will know for sure until he plays under game conditions and has to take a few hits. Will he still be able to make all the throws an NFL QB has to make? From that perspective, it's even a gamble for the Colts to keep him when they could obtain draft picks and/or players for him. If his arm goes south again, he will be virtually untradable.

    This is just a demonstration that most players have no clue what it takes to be a Super Bowl championship team in the modern NFL. There's a reason he's playing safety and not the general manager of some team.

    To be fair I'm still trying to think of one reason why Mac is the general manager of some team loll

    Agreed. But presumably Mac knows he's getting fired this year if he doesn't at least try to acquire a pro bowl caliber QB.

    Does that worry anyone? It sure worries me. A GM on the hot seat is a dangerous GM, because he may make desperate, Hail Mary moves to try to save his job.

    Yes, it sucks. But it is what it is. It might very well cost us a 12-15 Pro Bowl QB draft choice because Mac wants to save his job with 5 years of an average QB free agent. The problem, of course, is not the GM though ... it's the ownership for allowing this situation to materialize in the first place.

    McDaniels wouldn’t be going to the Colts without Luck

    How can he know? Sure, he has reports and predictions from the team doctors and probably from the guy who did the surgery. However, Luck missed the entire season, hasn't even started a throwing program yet, and had to shut down the last time he tried a throwing program. There was even talk that Luck might need additional surgery. McDaniels may be optimistic about Luck's prospects, but he doesn't know he'll have a full-strength Luck next year or at any point in the future. He's guessing like everyone else, although he certainly has more information than we do.

    Luck hasn't been the same player in years...He's also never had a complete team around him

    Fuck Luck. Go with a Superbowl winner and Superbowl MVP. [But then he will turn sub-par under the stellar guidance of Todd Bowles. Oh heck.]

    The problem with Luck is his health. The deal is overpriced for that reason alone. The Jets can draft a QB at 6 or trade up, so I don't see a reason to trade for a guy that might not ever be the same. That would be a same ol' Jets move. If we're going to trade anything, trade up for Rosen/Darnold, not damaged goods.

    There's two problems with trying to trade for Luck.

    If he's healthy this deal doesn't get it done. Actually if he's healthy he never gets traded, there isn't a better alternative anywhere.

    If he's injured, this deal is just throwing away picks that we could use.

    No worries, not happening in a million years. It's a handful of fans who actually keep saying he's overrated
