Wolverines Fan Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 With a record $87 million guaranteed. They say he's now the highest paid NFL player ever. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/16619414/andrew-luck-signs-extension-indianapolis-colts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apothus Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 How is that possible after such a terrible year last year? Granted he was hurt but how do you get a contract like that after an injury year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, well, you're Jim Irsay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted he was hurt but how do you get a contract like that after an injury year Nature of the beast in the modern NFL. The highest paid player is almost meaningless now in terms of correlation to the best players, its just the most recent good QB to get a new contract normally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandyCandy Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I just don't see how they can throw that sort of money at a QB that performed the way he did last season. Sure he could turn it around and be brilliant for the next 6 years and beyond and they will look like geniuses, but if he has a disaster of a season like last year the who town is going to be screaming WTF.

Seahawks21 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) But I thought according to literally every single person here, he was head and shoulders better than Russell Wilson. Maybe I misremembered. How long before Russ can shred his new contract and point to this one and demand 35 mil per? Shall we re-open the Wilson/Luck thread?

On the other board, I am the only one with the opinion that Luck is the better of the two, not sure if you read that right. I'm really, really high on both guys. The only argument I can't agree with on either count is that one is the clear choice and that the other doesn't even deserve to be in the discussion. I would personally take Luck.

JakeWaid Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 The Colts are looking at longevity with Luck. It's a great deal for both sides. I love the bandwagon folks who immediately jump ship after a down season though he was hurt. Week 1 when he throws 4 TD's everyone will say the opposite and advise what a great deal it was to retain him for that amount of money. Dorky armchair QB's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar with the deals the MLB has been doing for ages where you know you're going to end up paying elite money to 41 year old has-been.

Seahawks21 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 A lot has changed in a year. Wilson's career took a huge vault forward in my eyes at the halfway point to the season when he started getting rid of the ball on time with anticipation. I had lost all hope that he would do this. Compare that with how horrid Luck played last season, and I think this debate has changed a lot in twelve months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying you're wrong, but Luck was banged up all season, no thanks to a porous OL. Not sure if they've fixed it, but it's better. Let's see how both guys perform in '16.

Yeah, it'll be fun to watch over the years, hopefully. I'm just doing the pre-2016 status check on it. Legitimately wondering if we can unlock the original thread and just keep adding to it over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
