Of recent? No. But our franchise has history, we have a better built team than they do, we are a better market, we are closer to his home in WV, he was born here in DC, Cleveland isn't appealing money wise either.

Yeah because Weeden is a hard name to spell. We're not talking about spelling Roethlisberger.

Should I change it to Mallett?

Seriously though, it's more a guess than any "inside info" but my guess is kind of rooted on other info. And anyway, I can't shake the feeling that we're going to make a run at Hoyer. I know that Mike Shanahan is a big fan. What I don't know is what Kyle thinks of him. But there are a lot of teams out there that really do believe very strongly in Hoyer

Straight up, Beck for Hoyer

Why even limit ourselves to the NE roster for our QB sitch-e-ation?

How about Peter Griffen III?

I would by that argument if A) Griffin played like Cam which he doesn't and B) Griffin was a run first QB in college like Cam was which he wasn't. He's a pocket passer who has Mike Vick type speed and all of a sudden he's a scrambling QB. How many big hits did he take on in college? Does he take tackles head on like Cam and Luck do? At 6'2" 220lbs he isn't small but he's also not stupid. I'm sure he knows how and when to slide.

Don't know but all it takes it one which he took a knee injury for. If I'm not mistaken.

That could quite possibly be the case. I'm actually hoping for this to happen...

I doubt it. Luck has a higher floor and is much less of an injury risk which after a year without Peyton is a huge selling point for the Colts. The question isn't weather RGIII is going to get injured but rather when.

I personally like Griffin more but if I was picking for the Colts I would take Luck. Luck is much more equipped to run a pro style offense in terms of routes and reading coverage out of a traditional NFL offense. He also has just as strong an arm as Griffin and while he's no where near the scrambler that Griffin is he can definitely move and pick up yards with his feet as well as create second chance opportunities.

There is no doubt that Baylor's offense is gimmicky and probably has some odd reads and adjustments which will factor against Griffin.

And theres no doubt Griffin can learn these things but with Luck it is less likely to be an issue.

I will say this though. Griffin is more likely to win rookie of the year then Luck even though Luck will be the better passer right out of the gate.
