Matt Leinart disagrees, he is a starting NFL QB again.

 

Than it is bad for any Texan fan names "Matt".

Damn, Cassel AND Schaub down on the same day.

 

Pretty sure this is the end of Cassel's time in KC, he's due a 5-something mil roster bonus next year and they're gonna cut bait.

It was already discussed, but someone please explain to me how this hit is illegal? He led with the shoulder.

 

It was loud and they wanted to flag someone.

 

I'll just be mad if he's fined.

How many NFL QBs are named "Matt" or "Mark?"

Hitting someone in the head is the big no-no now.

But he didn't. I mean, he was close to it, but he didn't.

I have no idea how the Colts want to handle this. It'd be great if Luck could sit behind Peyton. Don't think that's an option though.

If Indy gets #1, it would be dumb to not draft him.

Peyton Manning is a unique situation. We've seen that he's apparently worth 10 wins a year. I think the decision will have to do with how healthy Peyton is come draft day.

You have to trade 1 of them. I don't care that the new cap rules would make it possible to hold on to both. There is just too much value tied up in the qb position. Someone would empty 2 drafts for either of those guys, that would rebuild to Colts for 5 years.

They expect you to lower your trajectory now...even if you lead with your shoulder, they don't want you hitting anyone in the head.

What do you do then? Trade the greatest QB of all time? Trade one of the top draft picks since then? It's a tough call. I'd lean towards keeping Manning, but it's tough.

Who can absorb Peyton's $24 million salary or whatever though?

 

And even though Peyton may be worth 10 wins to the Colts, that is only because their team is entirely built around him. Are they built well for a rookie QB? I don't know...they get away with having a small OLine because Peyton gets rid of the ball so quickly and because he can adjust the play at the line. They get away with having an undersized DLine because they play with the lead so much.

 

I'm not sure their window with this current team is long enough for them to win with Andrew Luck.

 

 

If Colts get 1, they can trade down get a ridiculous stock pile of picks and pick another QB later on.

 

Brees for Vick worked out well.

Back before the Colts sucked major donkey balls, I thought Landry Jones or even Kellen Moore could be decent fits.

It's $18 million, and you know as well as I do that half the teams in the league will find a way to make that happen if he's available.

 

There would clearly need to be rebuilding, but that's why they'll be having almost 3 first round picks this year.

But you're also getting rid of a guy who is arguably the best player in NFL history.

 

This isn't a Brett Favre deal. Peyton Manning's a whole different animal.

No it's not.

 

It's $69 million for the first 3 years of the contract.

 

$23 million a year.

If you don't believe Luck can be the next great qb, then you trade Luck for an entire draft and add in 4-5 first round picks in the next 2 years around him.

 

You just can't sit one of them on the bench, not when you can rebuild the entire roster.

9:47:23 - Turned on MNF

 

9:47:27 - Turned off MNF

Guys, is Lovie Smith a very good coach? I'm afraid to believe he is, but I feel like he's converting me.
