I believe the Colts still own his rights, so he’d either have to go back to them or we’d have to fork over picks and money

I love Andrew Luck. It's a shame he took such a beating. He could turn a team around. Hell, if the Colts had Luck right now, they would be Super Bowl contenders.

I don't know why Andrew Luck is a topic title.

Apparently he isn't cheking the "I want to play football" box.

I don't know why I didn't like him, I get him confulsed,
wasn't Detroit's Qb better than him.

How does he compare to Detroits Qb, who I don't really like that much either, but I like better as a Qb, whats his name.

I keep wanting to say Detroits Qbs' name is Haslem.

it's not haskins or Stanton, or Haslem, What's his name in Detroit,
I like him.
What the heck is his name, arrgh

They have a lot of yards as an offense and 1st downs, and it's what's his name responsible for a lot of it.

edit: Google tells me it's Matthew Stafford!

I understood Tebow is still available.

Just kidding. Everybody stepped up and talked right pretty after the beating. Wish I had less reading to do after losses. Apparently we are ready to battle.

Snark aside, let's just get after the next one and tear it in half. This one may be tougher than the first which wasn't nearly as one sided as I wanted and expected.

Is that about the Browns QB position or Luck in general?

If Andrew Luck came back he would be under contract with the Colts.

Either way he doesn’t seem like he’s coming back.

I hear Joe Montana is considering a comeback.

I bet he'd kill in this offense.

I thought the story was he couldn't throw any more. I remember reading the summer before he retired during TC that he was still working on throwing with a 3/4 sized nerf football.

Like I said, if Luck came back he’d be under contract with the Colts.

That was the year before he retired. He then played a full season and was excellent.

He retired because of an ankle injury I believe.

unfortunately, his luck ran out with injures.

He's injury prone. That's a definite nn-no for us.

j/c:

I don't think this is a bad topic at all. Luck is a stud. The majority of teams in the league would want him as their starter. Sometimes, guys need to step away for a bit. Gronk came back. Luck could, too.

I just don't think Indy would trade him. Phillip Rivers was a very good qb. He is a bad qb now.

If Andrew Luck were available I’d trade a lot for him. If he came back it’d be for the Colts.

Trading Baker for Mitch would be our best option... not a very good one but could be worth a try for both teams

J/c

just hypothetically, if Stefanski has seen enough to think “yeah, Baker isn’t a long term guy” ... trading for Matt Ryan or Ryan Fitzpatrick would make us better right away

Trubisky!?

I'll go back to what I said before in another thread.

If Case Keenum came in and did ANYTHING of value, I'd be much more inclined to agree with you (on the effect of getting a new QB). Case Keenum switch resulted in 0 points in over a quarter of play. That tells me that the issue with the Pitt game extended well beyond just the QB position, and extrapolating that out to the team over the whole season, I would argue that swapping out QBs (especially with what would be available right now) wouldn't really help all that much.

If Luck was healthy and wanted to get back into football and was available I would definitely give him a go. Unfortunately, his health is unknown, it doesn't seem as if he wants to get back into football and he definitely isn't readily available.

But I love the thought. Very creative thinking which I can appreciate.

Interestingly, Alex Smith also came back from being #1 pick bust...

He has a pocket full of cash and his health,... I doubt it

Luck was not a bust. He was one of the top qbs in the league.

Correct. Same can be said for Alex Smith, but only after he left San Fran.

I think Otto could lead us to one more Championship season.

At what point was Luck ever a bust?

I never said he was. I made a comment about Alex Smith going in that direction prior to him playing in KC. Alex Smith was brought up because he, by all accounts, should be retired right now due to injury but has managed to come back and play.

That was also the year we got the "great" Brandon Weeden. My guy, Russell, went to the Seabags in the 3rd, much to my chagrin.

Man, that's painful.

I thought that Wilson would be a great long-term backup.

He would be a great backup.

I remember the Seahawks signing Matt Flynn to be their starter after like 2 good games with GB .. and then Russ beat him out in camp

I wanted WIlson but thought we could get him in the 5th.
Missed it by that much.

I thought Matt Barkley was better than Robert Griffin III during the year that Griffin and Luck entered the draft. I believe it was initially thought that Barkley would come out that year and be drafted in the top 10 or so. I wonder how his career would have went had he entered that draft.

I saw where some posters want to trade for Mitch Trubisky. Good kid, a little bigger than Baker and a lifelong Browns fan but I don't see him being better than what we have right now.
