Something like...

Skins get #1 pick
Colts gets #2 pick and other picks
Rams get #6, picks, and Orakpo

Is that right? Wasn't that the idea?

Yes but that trade is not likely at all

That's a fine opinion and all... he just asked how it makes any sense to say it.

IMO there is no way Colts do not take Luck... but this was the proposal on how we'd end up with Luck and Colts would get RGIII.

But what was Question 3? The world may never know.

More importantly, who is the Question 3 Idol?

Journalists always look for stories that have instant recognition. Kyle had that quality and Houston was a legit offense under his tutelage. Thing is, Houston's offense is just as good and maybe better now (taking injuries to Johnson out of the equation, and too a lesser extent Schaub), so it's possible and even probable he wasn't the reason for the earlier success.

I am a car guy. I never got the obsession with Bentleys, unless you have a chauffeur.

Now sports cars are my thing. Lotus isn't a bad choice.

Speaking of expensive/sports cars have you checked out Lexus' supercar for a cool $375,00...

Lexus LFA 2012

I would break any number of serious laws to own that BMF

Did you even open the link?

I don't know how I missed this trade scenario because the only 3 way trade I have heard of and also read here is/was refering to the Skins, Rams, and Vikings. It didn't make sense to me and quite frankly although it was designed to sound plausible even this trade scenario involving the Skins, Rams, and Colts would not be good for the Colts. Their losing PM, they need a #1 QB top flight talent to build around and they would rather give it up and take the #2 pick?

[Swarley]

The idea is that RGIII is that top flight QB and they get a few picks in the process.

I think you might have a point here, clearly Tony Dungy did nothing for John Grudens success with the Buccaneers and... John Gruden had nothing to do with the Raiders success after he left.

Yuk. I think during the Super Bowl Acura showed that they were bringing back their top elite car again which I think looks a lot better.

It's the Acura NSX, awesome car.

Bill Pollian paints a grim picture though of what Manning actually looks like these days. He said he isn't even close to his old form. Peyton also cannot throw to the left, and he cannot throw across his body because of the nerve damage he can't feel it.

Receivers also say that Peyton doesn't have any zip on the ball, his arm is basically gone.

Dang i can't believe he would try and come back and play if he is that damaged. I knew his arm was suspect after the surgeries, but i had no idea he basically has gotten no better over the last 18 months.

I guess this is the way he is going to be. Can't beleive some team is going to sign him if he is that bad.

Somebody that is more knowledgeble than me, would the Redskins still try and sign Manning if he is just a shell of his former self? (and most accounts have him looking that way).

This is some grim picture

Polian predicts Peyton will return “at a high level” | ProFootballTalk

Polian contradicted reports that Peyton hasn’t been able to throw effectively.

“It’s marked [improvement] from where he was back in September,” Polian said regarding Peyton’s arm strength in December, when Polian last observed Manning. “He threw it accurately, he threw it with a good, tight spiral, and he threw it with velocity. Generally, he looked like a pretty confident quarterback out there.”

This meshes with recent comments from Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri, who said last week that Peyton “definitely is not that far off.”

I was just thinking that maybe this adds creadence to SS rumor, that we give the rams Orakpo and the Colts draft picks and move up to number one.

[SmootSmack]

But Polian's not with the Colts anymore so ultimately his opinion is rather irrelevant

He also said there is no way he gets past the second pick. Who knows, if he thinks that way maybe the Colts will pick him and trade Luck to us. Either one, would make me happy.

Um...
