    I Just have to root for Rams and Colts for the Luck Sweepstake

    In Rams' case, the top pick will be open for bid. And I'm willing to give the farm for it.

    In Colts' case, I think Peyton becomes available - I don't think he'll take it well to keep the seat warm for Luck and Polian is too classy to not grant Manning's wish. I'd do everything in our power to make that trade happen.

        Why wouldn't he take it well having Luck under him? It makes more sense the other way around that Luck wouldn't wanna sit under Manning.

        I've said before I don't follow the kid or know too much, but I can assume he wants to be able to come in and be the starting guy like Newton did this season.

        However if I were him and went to Indy, I'd sit under Peyton for a couple of seasons and love it. Get acquainted with the game. Learn from one of the best QBs in the league today and possibly ever.

        Then Peyton gets hurt and Luck takes over. We pick up Peyton i.e. Bledsoe, and his career dies in Buffalo.

            Dalton is far from Luck but I think the Bengals could do better things with Dalton and two #1s than they would with Luck. In terms of the Bills, I think if we could find a legitimate pass rusher things could turn around quickly if we can keep Fitz away from pressure and retain him, Stevie and Freddie.

                  With the Colts, it has nothing to do with Manning wanting to be a tutor or not to Luck. The Colts negotiated their new deal with Manning to where they can cut him after the season and not owe him anymore money. However, if they don't cut him by a certain point after the season, they owe him $20+ million and his contract going forward. If they have the No. 1 pick and choose Luck, there is a good chance they'll just cut bait with Manning to save all that cash, and move on with Luck.

                    Judging by the MO of each team's FO, who will likely be that team?

                    Miami, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Dallas, Washington, San Francisco, and Seattle are all in play.

                      I think it's a total fallacy that veteran QBs mentor the teams top draft pick. makes no sense to. Why would the starting QB want to help make the new kid better, knowing that when he is, he's taking his job?

                        If not for the Romo contract the Cowboys seem like a team that could. Yet I can't see the Dolphins giving up the top spot of the draft.

                          You know Luck doesn't have to come out this year. If the Colts end up with the first pick, Luck could just play another year at Stanford. And if I'm Andrew Luck I would just go back to Stanford then put myself in an awkward position and be stuck behind Manning for 2-3 years.

                            To pass on his Legacy. That said you're right in today's NFL that isn't likely going to happen. Yet today's NFL might be different than yesterdays NFL due to the new CBA teams might take longer to develop QBs and that's why we saw as many QBs taken in Round 1 this past year.

                              So Rodgers is Favres legacy. I just don't think it ever works that way
