    He made a living beating up on the worst division in the NFL the last few years. AFCS is on the rise though. Would not be surprised to see the Colts a perpetual 3rd or 4th place finisher in the AFCS soon.

    They already struggle with the rest of the NFL teams

    This guy is the definition of overhyped. Hell he was getting called a future hall of famer before he was even drafted. Here we are at the end of his rookie contract and he is paid better than Rodgers or Brady. There is no doubt he has potential, but they are paying the guy like he already has 2 SB rings!! Better them than us..... He has really pulled the wool over the eyes of the FO in Indy!! The guy is literally a pick machine. If I remember correctly he has an average of a pick a game.

    I am not saying he cannot eventually win a SB. They may actually pull one out one day. However, what they have set up is a serious situation if he does win one & his 2nd contract comes around..... What kind of money are they going to have to pay him in that 2nd contract???? Damn!

    Will make for a better FA for us.....The colts always seem to be a team that is willing to throw money around in FA.... At least they will have substantially less to throw after this deal!! LOL.

    Personally I am much happier with Marcus. I honestly believe Marcus will end up having a better NFL career. I might get some static for that from some folks. However, Marcus is going to be a great player for a very long time IMO.

    Let them pay the guy......140 million certainly resets the QB market to a higher level for all future QBs signed tho. Every decent QB in the NFL will now be able to use this as the ceiling for their deals. Certainly brings the floor for their deals up a rung or two. It's ignorant people like Irsay that have put QBs in the near billionaire brackets by retirement. Then again if he hit Free Agency he would of likely gotten more..... I mean Houston just paid 72 million over 4yrs for a 7 game starter.......CRAZY.

    It's just the nature of the league right now. Young QBs with high potential are gonna get straight paid. Our time with Marcus will be here before we know it.

    Jesus Christ, Indy thinks Luck is the GOAT. They HAVE to believe that to pay a man that much money. They need to ask themselves what has Luck done for them? The answer is nearly nothing.

    I say nearly because at least they've been selling jerseys and putting buts in stadium seats. They aren't even close to going on a SB run, not even in the next three years. Fu<king idiots!

    The messed up part about all of this is, we can laugh all we want about how they completely overpaid for a "slightly above average" QB. But they just set a dangerous precedent for any young QB who thinks they're the second coming and expects their franchise to pony up. If Mariota asked for that kind of money, sorry Yoda...good luck elsewhere.

    If Yoda ever asked for that he could go kick rocks. I'd find his replacement in the draft, **** that.

    I'm not a Luck fan but didn't he almost single handily take his team to back to back AFC Title games?

    I don't think he's great by anymeans, but he's the guy they have to build around. If they didn't pay him, someone else would..

    Sorry bud but QBs don't grow on trees like WRs and RBs do. There's so few of these guys teams are held hostage to their demands.

    I wouldn't have used to say that, but with this inflated cap we have going now, teams can afford to overspend for players

    He's only been to one title game. And he got raped in it.

    And the only reason he made it that far was because Peyton blew d*ck against him.

    1 million guaranteed per interception he will throw over the next few seasons.
