Ok, not to spoil your alls fun.....

But I read somewhere earlier today that apparently RG3 was a Bronco's fan growing up. Who was the coach at the time? none other then our beloved M.Shanahan. So there might part of the reason- RG3 wants to play for M.Shanahan. Then there is what others have pointed out... and thats MS has led SB winning teams. He knows how to win. The Colts have a HC that really has not done much and the team is "rebuilding". Then there is the market. Obviously DC has a better market and although he will be making about $1 mill less then the #1 pick RG3 can make up for it out side of Fed Ex and football.

All that said I don't think that was the reason for the snub. although I like the fact he and MS seemed to hit it off. It was reported that RG3 told all teams right after the Combine that he would only be working out at Baylor and if anyone wanted to see him they needed to be at his Pro Day. What does RG3 have to gain? he knocked his pro day out of the park so if nothing else all he would be doing at this point is waisting time or lowering his value< but he knows he's either going #1 or #2. The Skins moved up to possibly take him. So there really is no need to work out for anyone.

I think the Colts are trying to set up some questions so Luck will feel obligated to not fight as hard and sign whatever the Colts offer (I know Rookie CAP). Where as now he has some leverage if he knows the Colts are only looking at him. The Colts just need to get off their arses and just get a deal done with Luck... make him happy, make themselves happy, make the fan base happy and get ready for draft day.
