    Yes. Not so much that the talent isn't there, but I think it could be a more of a David Carr/Tim Couch situation, taking too much of a beating early in his career preventing him from fully developing. Luck took 73 sacks in his first two years of his career. Carr took 125 (wtf?) and Couch was sacked 107 times in seasons 1 and 3 (both were injured for part of their second season, go figure).

    By comparison, the Colts put a good line in from of Peyton, and he went down less than half what Luck did, 36 times.

      One thing he didn't get that was floated was a %age of the salary cap. Some pundits thought his agents were trying to tie his contract to that.

        That's what Hundley is for!

          As a percentage of the cap, Luck's deal fell short of the fleecing Flacco gave to the Ravens. There is still room to keep Rodgers should they want to.

          • I dont think the Luck contract prices Rodgers out of our range in 2 years. As a percentage of the salary cap at time of signing, Rodgers was higher than Luck. If we increase his current salary to say 25 mil to 28 mil in 2 years that might still be affordable as the league is increasing revenue quite quickly, so we might be spending relatively less on Rodgers than we are now.
            I hope Hundley makes this a pointless conversation, but I will believe that when MM and TT tell me. I dont second guess them on starting quarterback talent. I save my second guessing for there evaluation of DL and ILB.

                      Andre Johnson signing with Titans

                      Poor Andre Johnson. He deserves a better sendoff.

                                That's what the word was when he went to the Niners also. The Packers secondary is the fountain of youth for aging wide receivers.
