In the Andrew Luck draft-Miami or Indy? They are the only two who would draft QB's, as far as I know. With Peyton out for the season, if Colts don't draft a QB in first round, I'm shocked. First two QB's should come from Stanford and Boise St. Don't know of any others. Other than draft QB's next choice is either a running back, WR or defense.:yes:

There's maybe two games left I can see the Colts winning (Week 12 against Carolina and one of the Titans/Texans games late). I could see Miami pulling in at 3-13 to close out the year and Indy at 2-14 to get the first pick.

No, please be Miami. Miami has teased me 2 straight weeks they need to get it together. There are only 3 possible wins left for the Colts, 2 against Jags and 1 against Titans

It'll be interesting to see if both teams finish with the same record who has the worse SOS to get the first pick. Colts have a pretty week division compared to the Fins but have to play the NFC south this year with 3 good teams in the Saints, Falcons, and Bucs along with the Steelers, Patriots, and Ravens. Miami plays a pretty weak AFC West with subpar Broncos, Chiefs, and the Raiders who look like they may be struggling with injuries.

Hopefully Indianapolis. A) I don't want the Colts to dominate for another 10-15 years and B) I want to see what teams the Manning bandwagon fans flock to.

If they get Luck and Luck is as successful as advertised, their fans 5 years from now will be like "I've been a fan of of the Colts for 20 years". The majority will stick around if they get Luck but the majority will leave if they don't. What can I say... my favorite college players play for Vols and I don't care where my favorite NFL players come from as long as they play for the Titans. Jevon Kearse is one of my favorites and he was a Gator. College/NFL are separate in my book and rightfully so. I hope former Vols do well in the pros but I'm not going to follow a team because I'm obsessed with one dude. I just know the majority of the Peyton Manning fans, I mean Colts fans will replace Peyton with Luck and continue to ride the jock of one guy.

A lot of people will say they owe nothing to poor management and bad franchises. I'm sure countless Vol fans didn't even attend the University of Tennessee though. They owe nothing to them either but support them anyways. I guess it will just be cool when one of my teams actually win something. UT football is the only one to win a championship and I wasn't really a Tennessee fan until Clausen so I didn't even get the luxury of being excited about the 98 championship. Being that I only cheer for one team in every sport, will be pretty amazing if one of them ever do. Will mean something to me even though I played no part of in it since I stuck by them through thick and thin regardless of who they fielded. Better than just jumping from team to team and getting excited cause one of the five teams in every sport you pulled for won

Pretty sure most of us of the Volunteer variety aren't bandwagon, and rooted for him through the 3-13 and 6-10 seasons. Your bitterness knows no end.

I think he means bandwagon because prior to Manning, nobody in East TN gave two licks about the Colts... It will be interesting to see how many Vols fans remain Colts fan even after Peyton....

Though it may just be the media trying to create a story, but some are starting to question whether Barkley should be considered in same conversation as Luck.

So Moore is not gonna be the next QB drafted, IMO.

He may mean that, but that's not what bandwagon means. A bandwagon fan is somebody who starts rooting for a team because they are winning.

Indy will lose more games I think. The Dolphins have at least been competitive in some of their games

Barkley is really, really good. Barkley reminds me a lot of Phillip Rivers.
