He's always injured. Right now he's uncertain for week one.

If you were Colts FO, do you consider trading him instead of renewing a big contract? Or do you throw the die and hope this trend ends? Or trade before contract is up in hopes of getting another QB in draft?

You’re an idiot for even considering it

That’s why you aren’t in a position to make that call

Let’s trade Andrew Luck. We may even get a draft pick that turns into a QB as good as Andrew Luck

Zero percent chance they’re even thinking about it

He's a top 5 QB when healthy. Guys like that get to be injured all they want and keep their jobs. The Colts should invest more time into finding a close to Nick Foles level backup though and be willing to pay 8-10 million a year for him.

He throws A LOT of interceptions. That’d be the only thing that keeps him out of my top 5.

I think a lot of the picks are the result of him feeling like he has to do everything. So he held on the ball longer and took more hits, and threw more ill-advised passes.

Guy was healthy last year and had a monster season and for some reason we’re having AL is overrated and should the Colts trade him because he’s injury prone threads

Listen, its not the craziest idea ever. What has Andrew Luck done in the NFL? Yea he is a pretty good QB when he is healthy, but he isn't getting any younger and his injuries are injuries that will continue to nag him. Why is it a crazy thought to trade him and tank for a guy like Trevor Lawrence? There are a bunch of really good QB's in the next few drafts. Franchise type of QB's. I'm not saying i 100% agree with the OP, but its not as crazy as some of you are making it out to be. Luck has been an underwhelming QB in his tenure.

Don’t even know where to start with that post.

What’s he done: Drug a shite team to the playoffs year after year.

He’s not getting any younger: Name one person getting younger. Ever.

Tanking for Lawrence: Seems to be everyone’s solution for QB these days. “Just tank for Lawrence.” Going to be tough going if 6 teams tank for Lawrence.

You can't trade Andrew Luck. You just can't. This is dumb.
It'd likely be one of those trades where both teams lose. You don't get enough in return, and the other guts their team and future (and still not enough for the Colts).

Trade a guy you know is a franchise QB for a draft pick that might be a franchise QB

Sounds like a plan
