If the Rams end up with the #1 pick, someone will give up the bank, and the Rams most likely take it.

The Rams will not take Luck. Yea Bradford is having a pretty poopty year but you also gotta remember hes been playing with that messed up ankle all season.
I see the Rams taking someone like Matt Kalil or just trading the pick away for a poop ton of goodies

How many teams are DESPERATELY in need of a QB to the point that they'd mortgage off their futures to get him? Let's look at this...
Buffalo - Just gave a huge contract to Ryan Fitzpatrick, MIGHT consider it after how he's played since.
Miami - A possibility.
New England - Nope.
New York Jets - Wellll, they should seriously consider scrapping Sanchez, but they won't.
Baltimore - Highly unlikely.
Cincinnati - Nope.
Cleveland - A possibility, but I'm not sure they'd give up on McCoy quite yet.
Pittsburgh - Nope.
Houston - Highly unlikely.
Indianapolis - Might be able to draft him, but wouldn't sell the farm to get him unless Manning retires.
Jacksonville - Gabbert hasn't looked good, but I find it hard to believe that they'd give up on him this quickly when he was forced into a starting spot on a team that everyone expected to be bad with no legitimate receivers to speak of.
Tennessee - Nope.
Denver - Nope.
Kansas City - Similar situation to Buffalo in that they just gave Cassel a big contract. I think it's a possibility, but I'd say probably not.
Oakland - An EXTREME outside possibility, but they have absolutely nothing to trade in 2012. They also can't trade their 2013 first round pick because they have it pending in the Palmer trade.
San Diego - Nope.
Dallas - Nope.
New York Giants - Nope.
Philadelphia Eagles - Nope.
Washington Redskins - A possibility. In my opinion, probably the most intriguing possibility, in fact.
Chicago - Nope.
Detroit - Nope.
Green Bay - Nope.
Minnesota - Highly unlikely.
Atlanta - Nope.
Carolina - Nope.
New Orleans - Nope.
Tampa Bay - Highly unlikely.
Arizona - A possibility, but I think people are overlooking the situation. They did give up their 2012 second round pick for Kolb and they gave him a huge contract. They'd have to give up basically every pick they have in 2012 and 2013 to get Luck AND they'd have to pay him.
St. Louis - Highly unlikely.
San Francisco - Coming into the year, I would've said this was a slam-dunk. I still think Alex Smith is a scrub, but they have the second-best record in the NFC and it'd be tough to justify replacing him after his best season yet.
Seattle - A possibility.
------------------
So when we look at the league as a whole, we're looking at a realistic possibility of only 3-4 teams who would really consider moving up to take Luck and that's disregarding the fact that most of those teams have not traditionally made the huge moves like that in the past.

Miami, Seattle, Washington, Jacksonville and San Fran considering Luck is Harbaugh's boy.
That and when has there ever been a rookie cap and the possibility that the next Peyton Manning is coming out? Never meaning anything is possible.

Washington is also the one I find very interesting.
I can see Snyder giving up a lot for that pick.

That is their whole offense. Checkdowns, or runs. Yates can't throw the ball down the field, thats why I think the Texans are overrated as hell. Their easily a first round knockout as soon as the playoffs start, and this game just exposed them for what they really are tonight. Really happy about the Colts win. That was an impressive drive by Orlovsky, and Reggie made one hell of catch when they needed it the most. Unlike most Colt fans, I do want them to lose the rest of the games and get the no. 1 pick. You have to figure STL will lose this week to the Steelers, and then if the Colts can pick up a win next week against the Jags, they might be in the clear. Then why not throw in Delhomme or Garcia? I just don't understand why Kubiak is going to go with Yates when you're going to play it THAT conservative. It's a shame, really because the Texans were definitely a pass-first team with Schaub. And you DO want the Colts to draft luck? That last bit was confusing. No I don't want the Colts to draft Luck. By 'in the clear' I meant clear of not getting the no. 1 pick. Sorry yea that was confusing with how I worded it. I mean I would like to have him if they FOR SURE sat his ass for 2-3 years until Peyton retires. But knowing this team, and how they seem to be handling this whole thing, they will bring Luck in here and try to force out Peyton. That's just not right, and for Colts fans to be rooting for the team to lose is basically the same thing as wanting to get rid of Manning. That's why I want them to win. He's the only reason the franchise has been relevant, and you want to shove him out for a rookie? Straight up b.s. in my book.

If the Rams traded away their first overall pick, it would never go to a rival like the Seahawks or 49ers. I think it really comes down to Miami and Washington, with the latter being the team that I would see being stupid enough to trade away all their picks for one guy.

Denver got effed on that kickoff return in my eyes. And the official that called the penalty, he was on the other side of the players so he really couldn't have seen the play clearly.

So did Tebow show up to play today or did he leave his soul in church?
Also, I really would have liked to see the Dolphins beat NE but oh well.
