Andrew Luck contract

He has won in the playoffs but when you look at the couple of wins they have in common being against teams literally crippled with injuries. And he has posted some of the worst games in both the regular season and postseason seen in recent history (like his 23 passer rating masterpiece against New England).

The question is about the contracts - Andy's was well thought out and not only settled a lot of money on him but did it in a way that does not cap cripple the team. Luck's contract resembles Flacco's, with a year where it isn't too onerous but rapidly becoming a major cap issue. And as we saw the Rats have had big problems for two seasons now making offseason moves because of the huge Flacco cap hit - so the Colts with a very similar deal are looking at the same problem.

Meh, I'm just going to remain optimistic yet skeptical on this one.  I'm not sure post-2014 Dalton was as pricey a prospect as a SB MVP Flacco or Andrew Luck, but that's just me.  Maybe Mike Brown will eventually convince a SB MVP QB to take a super team-friendly contract and I'll see the light.
