1. Andrew Luck - easily #1, young, still improving, great leader/image. Not top 10 in terms of getting paid, but Luck is the most valued player in the league right now.

2. Rodgers - Same as Luck but a little bit older. In his prime.

3. JJ Watt - most dominate defensive player.

Lucks price tag would be unfathomable

And no amount of picks could make you go "the colts did well in that trade"

Screw the Falcons.
No screw the Saints.


(figured I'd save the board the hassle and we can just convert this thread into another pissing contest from the get go)

When you pronounce this IRL, do you actually not pronounce the n? I've never met someone like that, but there are so many posters who never get this right, that I'm honestly just curious.

You have to exclude QBs from lists like this. Six to eight QBs are going to get more then JJ Watt (who is the non-QB number one answer(.

Andrew Luck without a doubt. Here's another question. If Andrew Luck declares publicly that he wants a $150 million dollar contract and all of the money in the contract has to be fully guaranteed, will the Colts or some other team agree to that contract?

Probably because his return will be more than that.

Wilson just tried that and failed miserably (relatively speaking) so i don't think so

If luck plays the market well enough he's going to get a massssssssssssssssssssssive amount of guaranteed money.

This is actually the correct answer. Andrew Luck is a once in a lifetime talent that has shown what he can do from day 1.

The NFL is a QB driven league and there are no guarantees with first overall QBs anymore since teams mostly have to draft based on upside. Even if you have the best defense in the league filled with 11 first round picks, you aren't guaranteed to win a Super Bowl.

I can't think of a deal with only draft picks that could actually happen and the Colts would come out winners. Maybe 5 first round draft picks? But since the other team would have luck they would be late picks. I don't even think 5 is enough.

sure. 10 years, $150m total guaranteed. In year 7, 8, 9, and 10, paying $15M/yr will be a bargain for any QB, much less a potential GOAT
