This would be funny - Luck pulls an Elway (aka an Eli) - New England Patriots Forums

Man, it would be so funny if Luck took a look at the Colts and decided they don't know what they are doing and dug his heels in.

Imagine if he said he wouldn't play for the Colts! That would be gold, Jerry.

The situation he is walking into is not exactly ideal. They are jettisoning all the players and he is following Manning, who is so beloved that many Indy fans are still frothing at the mouth over his departure.

Luck better hope the combination of his last name and the whole horseshoe thing is enough, because damn.

I predict Daniel Snyder secretly wires $25M into Mr. Luck's bank account through several offshore sources to convince him to pull an Elway.

What's weird is that over at extremeskins some posters mentioned that possibililty as if it were a bad thing. Hello? Isn't Luck considered better than RG3 or am I hopelessly behind on the ins and outs of the draft?

You know, I wouldnt want to follow in Mannings foot steps if I were Luck.

Every move he makes will be compared to Manning. Just like when Elway retired in Denver.

i think that would be horrible

i thought the same about elway and eli when they did it

no player is bigger than the game, and those guys thought they were

of course they did both get multiple superbowl rings, even though it took elway over 15 years, so there's that for luck to think about, i guess

Its really debatable if Luck is better than RG.

Luck is more of a pocket passer like Manning and Brady and RG is like Vick. but with a better arm and accuracy.

RG has turned some heads and could very well turn out to be the best QB in this draft.

Ok, that is good to know. And interesting too. I wonder if the Colts have considered RG3 instead of Luck?

If by "pocket passer" you mean he can match Cam Newton's 40-time (4.59s) and has made several dramatic plays running and catching the football during his college career, then I agree.

Outwardly, they have…but I think Luck has been penciled in as the #1 pick for over 24months now. If he does not pan out, most well shake their heads and say the Colts got unlucky. (no pun-inteded).
If they draft RG3 and Luck becomes a star, Irsay and the Colts would be ridiculed more than Portland for drafting Bowie over Jordan.
