I wish that was the case, but if Indy has any brains they draft Luck. Manning is coming of an injury like Montana what a perfect time to get rid of him.

They probably got fired for botching the Manning injury thing.

Due diligence.

You don't pay a 28 mil to someone that's not gonna take a snap.
You don't leave the back-up job in the hands of Curtis Painter and Kerry Collins, knowing that Manning has a serious neck injury.
You don't fiddle around with the idea of drafting a QB knowing that it will likely piss off and spell the end of the QB that built Lucas Oil Stadium.

To me...this. The failures of that team come down to this...they went in the total tank once Manning was out. Any team built in such a manner is a house of cards. They should be shot for letting the team become so talent-poor. The perils of having a stud QB I guess...you have to pay them and it kills your talent unless you are particularly good a drafting young cheap talent to cycle in.

I don't think the Colts are as talent limited as they seemed early this year.
Curtis Painter is not a good QB by any stretch.
He's probably the worst QB in the NFL.
When Dan Orlovosky sparks an uptick in performance its a telling indictment on the previous QB.

Also, their defense was terrible and a portion of that blame goes to the coaching.

Newsflash...their defense has always been very talent-poor. Due to the stud ends who kept them competitive and the fact that teams had to play from behind so much they were able to hide the fact that their defense was mostly junk for the last decade.

C'mon dude.
Isn't talent poor and 'stud ends' in the same sentence the definition of contradiction?

Anyway, did you even read what I wrote before you posted a knee jerk reaction?
Freeny, Mathis, Bethea, Angerer= talent poor?

The Redskins need a QB as we all know. Unless Bruce Allen executes a trade that will put the Redskins in a position to draft either Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III, then the Redskins will stay put and draft the next best QB- Ryan Tannehill. The one thing I like about Tannehill is his athletic ability. He was a WR before he was a QB. He might not have the upside that Griffin and Luck has, but he's definitely an upgrade over Beck and Grossman. He just needs time to develop to the pro game.

Hopefully Tannehill doesn't have the personality of a WR

If Bruce Allen somehow pulls a rabbit out of his ass and executes a trade for Andrew Luck, he would go down as one of the greatest GM's in the history of the NFL. I give up whatever is needed to get Luck.

Luck is the perfect match for our offense FML

but I guess he fits ev system

[Paintrain]

The wildcard in this whole thing is Luck's leverage. Will anyone be surprised if in the weeks leading up to the draft his camp makes it known he doesn't want to be a Colt and backup Manning, that he wants to start right away? I predicted in another thread that he will use that leverage and end up with the Redskins but it will be very expensive.

The Redskins cannot afford to 'hope' that Jones, Tannehill or Foles somehow overcomes their obvious flaws and becomes an elite prospect over the next few months and justify spending a first round pick on them. There were 3 first round QB a couple of weeks ago, now there are two. More than any other team in the NFL, we must come away from the draft with one of them.

Blackmon just announced he is entering the draft.
