Roddy White of the Falcons on the Green Bay packers.

"We were a better team than those guys. We went out there, and we didn't perform at our highest level. We're a run-first team, you know, and we throw the ball second. So once we get behind like that, it's hard for us to catch up. That was a tough lesson learned, but it was a good lesson learned because we're more focused this year. I feel like we're a better team this year, and we'll be ready to get after those guys."

Let's see if he can back it up.

I don't know if the Vikings would as they did spend a first round pick on Christian Ponder this past draft. Frazier seems to be pretty adamant that he's the future in Minnesota.
maybe...but if a coach chooses Ponder over Luck...he will be looking for work sooner rather than later and with Minnesota looking to build a new stadium etc, it would be a no brainer to draft a franchise QB and deal Ponder elsewhere.

Not so sure about the Colts either, that would be a lot of cap space to have tied up at the QB position when Manning returns next year.

Dunno about that. Polian is no dummy and with injury concerns surrounding his 35 YO QB along with the cap on rookie salaries, i dont think he would hesitate to go after Luck and let Manning tutor him for a couple years. Much like the Favre/Rodgers situation...which turned out OK for GB.
