Having missed all game coverage due to work all weekend, as well as the benefit of any highlights, much less the idle time to view Mike and Mike, I'm constructing my impression of their accusations, based heavily of how their statements prompted the reactions stated here. As such, its helpful to read accurate takes, describing what was implied, or rather "how", as in the "tongue and cheek" manner you percieved, and particularly any lingering doubt their comments could have sown throughout the network's national audience. Frankly, its damning enough merely to be associated with the demoralized history shared among the present company mentioned, but to be singled out among these historical embarrassments, is heinous defamation at best. Imo, viewer perception is everything here.
Ryan Leaf:http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-20483334.html Do I need to go one by one or do do understand that many of the TOP QB Busts were considered the next great to good Pro QBs...
Of course no single player is a guarantee. However, in terms of probability of being the next great QB, Luck certainly appears to have the best chance of any QB to come out in a long time. People who are on board with SFL realize he is not going to singlehandedly turn around this franchise, but by drafting him, he gives us the best of odds of becoming that all pro QB this team needs to win. So why not put ourselves in the best position to possibly succeed?
Even if this team falls to the humiliating depths of hapless ineptitude that Indy appears primed to revisit, and somehow undercuts the veteran sham to land Luck, the despicable notoriety surrounding the SFL campaign, could easily return to haunt, diminish, or taint any future acclaim this team might ever hope to gain with him.
The colts are the ones tanking it that cincy game where the wr just threw the ball backwards and fumbled and no one tried to tackle the guy was shameless. Almost as shameless as Dallas Clark dropping 8 1st downs that hit him in the hands in the kc game.
