What do people think are the chances the Colts draft RGIII? As far as I know they haven't opened up contract negotiations with Luck yet, right?

Your fears are mine. Everyone thinks of the Colts and Luck comes to mind. They pretty much write it off with the reasoning that Luck is the better QB, he's the most pro ready, and they assume the Colts definitely want him. But what if the HC is more infatuated with RG3? What if RG3 fits what the HC really wants to do better? If I'm a HC I'm thinking... yea Luck is the most pro ready, but in the long run we will get more out of RG3. We are rebuilding, we are not expected to do very well so why not bring in RG3 so he can extend the plays to help out the offense?

The kicker.. everything people are saying about RG3 and why we should take him and how he will help out would make me think longer about possibly taking him if I was the HC of the Colts. but everyone is so quick to pass this off because they assume the Colts are set on Luck and god forbid they took the Redskins RG3. If we don't think about it it won't happen right.
