But like the Canuck above said, it's all about the money. I think even a 1st pick is way overpaid but that's a whole other post.<br /><br />I like Rodgers for that exact reason, he sat on the bench and learned until it was his time. As far as I know, never complained about it or demanded to be the starter. Where it's pointed out about Newton and Bradford, there are a lot more 1st round picks that turn out to be flops than stars in the NFL.<br /><br />BTW - Nice card on your header, everyone should have a White Sox card atop their blog, like an Angel on top of a christmas tree.

I think one thing that is so shocking about the Colts is that they lose Manning and EVERYONE else on the team sucks all of the sudden? Manning should renegotiate his contract again.<br /><br />Cam: You got it.Play at the Platehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14231140141558021698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6374663649398420285.post-28666696545200021052011-11-24T16:32:52.314-06:002011-11-24T16:32:52.314-06:00I'd be interested in the Sam Bradford/Kurt War...I'd be interested in the Sam Bradford/Kurt Warner card.

Unli...here's the thing with the Colts and Luck.<br />Unlike baseball, in the NFL, the #1 pick should step in and not only play, but help your team right away. See Cam Newton and Sam Bradford.<br />Luck will sit at least two years, if not three. To many, this is a waste of a pick. Aaron Rodgers was picked, 24th? At that value, he could sit for a couple of seasons.<br /><br />Manning makes $18 million per season. Luck will sign a deal for roughly 8-9 million per for 5 years.<br />That's 23% of your salary cap for two players. One of whom won't see the field for three years.<br /><br />There's no doubt the Colts need Luck... but can they afford him salary wise? And can they afford him talent wise when they could pick someone else who will step in and start right now?Captain Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189853561737282234noreply@blogger.com
