Seriously?
What reason is there to believe that there was even a remote possibility that the Colts would have been willing to trade the #1 pick? |

I am not sure about the next group of guys
Wilson Ark
Manuel Fl ST
Thomas Va Tech
Murray GA
Dysert Miami OH
I have not seen a lot of these guys I do not watch as much College football as I use to. I also do not follow some of the teams listed so I am not sure.

I would imagine that list will become a little shorter by the time the combines and individual workouts take place. Hopefully a clearer picture will be revealed and a plan of attack by this franchise will be implemented.

Chicago thought they had a QB in Rex Grossman, Carolina had faith in Jake Delhomme. What does this have to do with the Dallas Cowboys? It just might mean that Tony Romo isn't what we thought and we may have to move forward without him.

Hey, I said I was kidding, but this team would be just as close to a Super Bowl if they had made the deal as they are now. |

It had much to do when they came out and said that they would consider offers. |

Indy said they would listen, but everybody knew that was a smokescreen. Once the Colts made the decision to release Peyton there was zero chance they would pass on Luck. |

Not that difficult. Just give up every player for our next three drafts.

I agree. They were trying to get someone to trade for their pick who WASN'T going to draft Luck and still be in a position to get Luck. Not many teams who were in the market would agree to that along w/the fact that RG3 dissed Indy (I believe... or the other way around... forgot). |

The title is worded like a knee-jerk reaction.

Because it's an article designed to generate site traffic.
WG -- this is exactly the type of garbage I was talking about the other day. |

Wish we had a guy like Luck. The Colts go from Peyton to this guy who looks to be as good as advertised.

To me, there are no sacred cows on this team. No one is above being replaced.

I agree, I wish this were true (and I'm not saying this because I think Tony needs t go, it should just be an underlying philosophy, imo) |

Tyler Bray was recruited by Lane Kiffin. If Kiffin would have stayed in Knoxville, Bray would have been the first pick of the draft. Tennessee would have been winning games, big games. Bray is the most talented QB in the SEC, and it isn't even close. This guy has a cannon. Put him on Alabama, and he wins the Heisman Trophy. Put him on LSU, and they would be undefeated. Bray should stay in school and hope he gets a head coach which will instill some mental toughness and accountability in him. There is no telling what Lane Kiffin could have done with this guy, because Kiffin is gong to run the football, regardless. Furthermore, Kiffin turned Jonathan Crompton into a 5th round pick.
If the right coach gets Bray, Bray has a chance to be really good in the NFL. |

I'm not shocked that such an idiotic article came from ESPN, but I am shocked that this idiotic article came from K. Watkins.

Trent Dilfer: "Tony [Romo] has greatness in him. I think when you talk to other people that really play the quarterback position, there's a few guys that really have incredible greatness in them, and Tony is one of them. I think the issue here is he needs more help from his teammates. I think they are not nearly as talented as people say they are, from 1 to 53. I'm talking about the total roster.”
