Who do you say is sucking the most for Andrew Luck? Who is gonna get the 1st overall pick come this April in the 2012 NFL Draft? Discuss it
below and insult teams at your own will. Will it be the Colts? The Dolphins? Rams? Who will Andrew Luck go to this spring?

It's between the Colts and Dolphins. Dolphins did place their Injured QB on IR even though his injury probably shouldn't have ended his season. Right now they get my vote

Colts. They aren't even trying.

At least the Fins have been fighting and got a win today. That may be all Indy needs to win this shitfest. Indy couldn't make in any more obvious that they are tanking it.

Maybe the NFL can prove collusion on the Colts, and they will just give the Dolphins the first pick.

A situation like this makes me like the "lottery" style a lot more.

Players aren't the ones that give up on a season, the staff are.

Colts are frontrunners, and truly dont have a win on the schedule unless they can somehow manage to beat Jax or Tenn.

It worked for the Cavs when they lost for Lebron

But when the Colts draft Andrew Luck, then what happens to Peyton Manning? I think he has 1 or 2 more years left in him, and I totally disagree with Tony Dungy when he says they might trade him. And they won't just let him go. Maybe if they want to trade him, get some early round picks and/or ca$h. I could see the Jaguars or the Seahawks maybe trying to get him. But I think he'll be staying in Indy. Or he could just retire and get into the HOF sooner? Ya....

If the Colts dont draft Luck with the #1 pick, it will be the biggest mistake in NFL draft history.

A. Manning may never play again.
B. Look how bad they are without Manning. All the reason to draft his replacement when the chance is there

I would personally draft Luck and have him sit a year. If Manning wants to continue to play/can continue to play you either play him for a second year and give Luck the reigns in year 3 or trade Manning and play Luck in year 2. Manning will get the Colts a #1 pick, and possibly a high one, if they trade him before/on a draft day and not after (where Manning would put up wins, making the pick worse). No reason to be loyal and handicap your franchise when you can set it up to transition from Manning to Luck. It would be idiotic. This is a business, and I, as all Colts fans do, love Manning. But it isnt smart to let him hang around with his health when you can have Luck.

Unfortunately if Polian is still in charge....the Colts will fuck it up.

I just couldn't see them getting any high picks, maybe a 3rd or 4th round pick at highest. It's because he's old and at the end of his career, plus he hasn't played for a while. That's why I thought trading Carson Palmer to the Raiders for high picks..... And look how he's playing. Averaging 3 int's per game. I just don't see it.

3rd or 4th round pick for Peyton Manning???? U serious Clark? And comparing Manning to a Palmer is an insult. Palmer sucked before he stopped playing. Manning was obviously one of the best in the league.

Before trading Peyton I guess I would want a long term diagnosis on his condition, not that that is 100% accurate.

Except if the Colts offered up Peyton Manning, 25 teams in the NFL would be calling asking for him. It doesnt matter if they only get hm for 2-3 years.

@ GoChiefs, Peyton Manning is about to retire in 1-3 years. In my opinion, get Andrew Luck let Peyton Manning tutor him for those 2 years or so and let him go from there. Or, when Peyton retires, pay him as a mentor and continue to help Luck. I still say Andrew Luck is your best choice for the long stretch. I say youth is the answer.

If the Colts get to 0-14 and have the #1 pick locked up, do they rest their starters and not go for 0-16 or do they let them play and go for 0-16?

Best chance for a Colts win is today, imo. Home vs Blaine Gabbert and the Jags. Hoping MJD goes off.
