Katie-

I watched the game. I do not think you have a real QB. I do like your front 7 it is as good as any in the league.

IMO The 9ers need to find out if Kaep is a QB and soon. Gore is not going to be that good in 4 years.

Cheers, and good luck.
 
I'm starting to believe in Matt Barkley as a very solid pro prospect. If my Phins miss out on Luck, looks like there could be a good consolation prize. I thought both QB's looked great in the Stanford-USC showdown over the weekend.

You didn't believe in him before this game? I had him ranked 2/3 (Barkley/Jones).

I made an arguement earlier that I would consider Barkley and Blackman (WR) over just Luck

Personally I still think Luck with his pedigree (similar to Manning) would have to be rated higher but personally and my opinion means nothing but after those 3 players I think the QB from AU Foles is better (right now) then Jones at OU and there's still the combine and other draft prep that could change a lot but I think he'd be the 3rd QB I'd take after Luck and Barkley.
 
If you have a QB like Luck (if he is really the next Manning) then it doesn't really matter who your receivers are. Take Luck, fortify your offensive line and get some receivers who can specialize in things (deep threats and possession receivers).

This.

If you're the Colts specifically, draft Luck and try to trade Manning. You could probably get a couple 1sts for him if he appears back to health.
 
Manning's contract has only one year guaranteed. Because he was injured he agreed to sign a contract which essentially gives The Colts a 4 year option on him.

Trading Manning would be stupid. He has been everything to that franchise. Keep him, let him play another year if his health permits. If it doesn't, have him restructure his contract to have him on board as a mentor to Luck.

a la Rodgers and Favre.

Won't work. Everybody loses. It wouldn't be fair to Manning and Luck is not going to want to ease into any QB situation while Manning plays out his contract.

The Favre/Rodgers situation is completely different. Favre wasn't coming off a major injury and Rodgers was nowhere near a big of a name as Luck coming out of college. Luck is giong to walk away with the Heisman this year and is considered the most NFL-ready QBs to come out of college in years.

Luck doesn't have that kind of ego, and I don't think Manning is going to play his career out like Favre. I think Manning has one more year left in him, if any at all. I'm also sure that Manning wants to end his career with the Colts and the Colts want Manning to end his career there.

That's why the Colts should trade the first pick (if they get it) and draft either Barkley or Jones, then let them learn under Manning for a couple years.

Wait, you are suggesting that they shouldn't draft Luck because he is too good to be a backup for a year? This makes no sense. Get the best player available.
