8-0. I don't believe we lose to SD, Oak, or Pitt. with Luck. He was that special of a QB.

Try drinking some alcohol Pez, it certainly helps me.

Joking aside. Exercise works best.

I only suggested SD loss week 1 if Luck really did have an ankle injury of some sort (which I don't think he did). With a healthy Luck we'd be 8-0.

There was a lot of chatter from local journalists today on Twitter that Luck will eventually be in the Ring of Honor. Call it butthurt or whatever, but I'm still too pissed about the Luck situation to think about that right now.

My first thought would be no. Not being pissy, just not sure he would belong in there.

I am going to answer your question a little differently.

There are actually two big if's within that question.

What if Luck didn't retire?

What if Luck was healthy?

I think that if Luck didn't retire this year - the Colts would have a similar record to what it is now.

I think Jacoby would have still started the first 2-4 games of the season because Luck was nursing his calf injury. At some point, Reich or Ballard would coax Luck into trying to ramp up more - more reps in practice and eventually playing a game. I think it would take a lot of coaxing because Luck was still scarred from his previous injury and would want to be near 100% before playing. It is anybody's guess if he would continue playing out the entire season. He might say "I tried, but I am injured and need to shut it down again. I need to be in less pain."

So I could see QB1 as either....Jacoby and then Luck on the season. Or Jacoby, then Luck, then back to Jacoby.

The switching could cause an extra loss or two vs. a fully healthy Luck so 5-3 sounds about right with the "broken" Luck. Probably 7-1 with a fully healthy Luck.

That's a very good point. If Luck was healthy, both physically and mentally, then I think 7-1 or 8-0. If not then we'd have about the same record.

It might take a couple of years, but I'm sure he'll get in. There are several ROH members that Luck had a larger impact to the Colts than they did: Harbaugh, Dickerson, Faulk, Brooks.
