Week Six 2011

[reese125]

We will disagree on this and that's fine, but I just feel that if the Rams are somehow staring at the #1 pick and they are looking at their team as a whole I don't see how taking Luck makes sense.

You look back on the season and you say to yourself where was our most glaring weakness and how do we improve? I don't think the Rams are going to say Sam Bradford. Now look at the past squads that took a qb #1 like Carolina, Detroit and even the Rams--all desperate for a qb and rightfully so.

The Rams are not desperate for a qb-far from it.

[BigEd76]

Miami is the only team on that list that's desperate for a QB and they might go 1-15 anyway

[ice grillin you]

you dont have to be desperate for a qb to take luck

lol @ someone passing him up because you have christian ponder tim tebow or kevin cobb....or even an ancient peyton manning with suspect vertabrae

[reese125]

Tebow and Kolb are career backup qb's (hell-Tebow is probably below that even) and Ponder is still a question mark. So yeah-Luck would make sense for those teams.

[Sgt PSN]

Indy would be the ideal scenario. Manning still has a few years left so Luck could ride the bench and learn. Any other team will need him to start almost immediately. Of course, there's no guarantee that Luck comes out next year. He still has 1 more year of eligibility.

[ice grillin you]

he only came back last year to finish his degree and make a natty run...degree will be done this year and its natty or bust

not a chance he doesnt come out this year

[Sgt PSN]

I give it a 1% chance he goes back. The option is there, so it can never be ruled out completely.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I firmly disagree and think the chance is closer to 0.574%.

[shorebird]

Igy's right, Carolina and GB would be the only teams to pass on the chance to get luck. He's the highest rated player ever coming out int the draft. Mel has him rated at 99.9. Anyone who has seen him play knows why. I'd give Vick, Pimp, and Shady for the chance. That might not even do it. There are a lot of talking heads out there that say that it will cost a team at least two number 1's, possibly more.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

There are more than just two teams that would trade the pick before actually drafting and signing Andrew Luck, but chances are that very few of them would pick #1 overall.... And the team that does end up picking #1 overall will almost certainly hold on to the pick and take him. Let's look at the top 10 again and assume no one else has a real shot at drafting #1:

1 = Indianapolis - would definitely take Luck, hope to sit him behind Peyton for a year or two but insert him immediately if Manning's career is over
2 = Miami - ownership spontaneously ejaculates at the mere thought
3 = St. Louis - Bradford has proven this year that he is still a bit brittle and that he cannot make the other players around him look much better than they are, pretty sure they would take Luck and trade Sammy B
4 = Jacksonville - bye bye Blaine
5 = Carolina - probably the only team on this list that would trade the pick, and they would probably get so much to do it that they would be able to justify it for a long time - but if Cam doesn't string together a few wins, he could be the one to go for sure
6 = Minnesota - bye bye Ponder
7 = Arizona - bye bye Kolbsy
8 = Denver - slam farging dunk right here, don't forget Elway is in charge
9 = EAGLES - never know with the "smartest guys in the room" running things, but I don't think even Andy could pass this up - might be a different story if Vick were 5-6 years younger
10 = Cleveland - bye bye Colt

^^^^
that is accurate


igy dark horse: new england.....they have a crapload of picks stockpiled...dont be surprised if they make a monster run at him

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

It would almost be unfair to give him a year as a backup behind Brady or Manning. But I'd be glad he's in the AFC.

It's pretty awesome that the skins have no shot at him. That would have been worst-case scenario.

[ice grillin you]

i wouldnt put anything past snyder...not saying they are a favorite or anything but its way presumptuous to say they have no shot and it wouldnt surprise me if they overpaid for him...if its even possible to overpay for andrew luck

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The only way that they could "overpay" would be to basically trade their entire draft and probably at least one of their best players for him. Something like Orakpo with 1st and 2nd rounders in 2012 and 2013 might get it done.
