    Gosh...Indy is gonna destroy teams offensively...way too much talent on that roster. Giving Luck any bit of time, and allowing for talented guys to get open is just a recipe for some beatdowns. WHYYYYYYY OH WHY...wasnt LUCK there for us when we had the #1 pick..:(

    RG3 is the Trent Richardson of QBs.

    ...who Oakland just waived.

    _______________________________

    Didn't the Colts lose/tank the final game to secure the first pick in the 2012 draft?

    The 6 picks after Luck, good grief! Turrible!

    1 - IND - Andrew Luck
    2 - WAS - Robert Griffin(wrecked)
    3 - CLE - Trent Richardson(bust)
    4 - MIN - Matt Kalil(under-performer)
    5 - JAC - Justin Blackmon(drug/alcohol issues)
    6 - DAL - Morris Claiborne(under-performer/bust)
    7 - TB - Mark Barron(under-performer)

    It's pretty much a done deal he gets waived this week, right? The real question is who picks him up.

    He's already been released. Unless you were referring to RG3, which never mind. :)

    RG3 in Philly would be intriguing.

    I think a lot of teams will have interest in RGIII if he is released.

    Jets, Broncos, Cowboys, and Bears will probably pursue him.

    Jets make some sense. But I believe Fitz will be there QB for at least another year or two. They're trying to hit the homerun on a QB and will save their assets (including cap space) for him.

    Broncos make the most sense out of them to me. With Peyton getting closer to retirement, who would be a better mentor for RGIII than him?

    Cowboys are on the list because Jerry Jones. Rumor has it he has a hard on for RGIII and Johnny Manziel. He wants one of em to be the starter when Romo retires.

    Bears because why not? They're gonna need anything they can get by the end of the season anyways..

    Bills are a team that may go after him too.

    But at least you loaded up on old offensive guys in the offseason! Who needs defense?!
    Brady and the Patriots gonna rip that ass again.

    The Eagles, Chiefs, and Cowboys are the teams of principle interest in RG3.

    Eagles can use his athletic ability.

    He could realistically QB the Chiefs offense.

    And the Cowboys because Jerrah has a boner for him.

    Dark horse candidate: The Ravens. Marty Mornhinweg revived Michael Vick's career and now he's in Baltimore. Clearly the Ravens don't need him, but Matt Schaub won't be around much longer. Plus holy hell the mid-Atlantic media would explode into a lollercaust and I'd have a front row seat for it in DC.

    I don't see it being Baltimore because of proximity to DC. The Chiefs have an interesting bargaining chip because Chase Daniel is thought to be one of the better backup QBs in the league.

    But nobody is going to pay him $16 million next season so release seems inevitable.

    Bad coaching is ruining RGIII's career just like Fisher almost ruined Bradford's career.
