Are you serious? Have you EVER heard a player say they're narrowing it down between two teams, in the media, and when he decides the team refuses him a deal? Show me a time when that happens. When it gets to this point, where the player announces it, it's a done deal either way. That's what agents, negotiations, etc are for. Players don't announce a decision before all of that stuff is already taken care of.
The Colts have been a front runner for over a week now!! Which very well could have meant the Vikings pulled out of the running. If you remember correctly, Carter himself said he was interested in the Vikings originally. You don't know how strongly the Vikings actually pursued him. You're basing your post off of pure speculation.
You just took quite a few "examples" trying to show Teddy is in the same league as Luck. Exactly what are you trying to say? Even you can't say it, because you know it's crazy! At least that much is getting through! You didn't say you'd take Teddy over Luck because NO ONE would, not even the most staunch optimistic Vikings fan. So you think a receiver picking a team would?
And having zero clue what goes on behind the scenes is EXACTLY a reason to pick the team that you can look at and see record wise and recent history as being better. That weak Colts division is another reason to join the Colts. You have a better chance of making the post season, and being in a position for early round byes etc.
Trying to show he's in the same league?? Dude are you even reading my posts?? I simply said he had a better completion percentage that Luck by a long shot. That was it. Everyone and their mother knows Luck struggles with accuracy issues. It's no secret. He was in the bottom half of the NFL when it comes to completion percentage. Like I said once already, do you think this kid is really looking into numbers and statistics already?? He hasn't even cracked a 53 man roster yet. You act like this kid is a shoe-in to make it. You don't know what was offered and who it was offered by so to say that Carter picked the Colts because they are better proves absolutely nothing and once again has no backing behind it.
If you remember correctly, the whole reason this little battle started is because you jumped on here saying Carter chose the Colts because they were good and the Vikings were bad. Bottom line is, you have no clue why he chose the Colts and you don't know what went on behind the scenes when it comes to contracts, interest levels, etc. So all I am saying is, your "point" has no backing behind it and is purely speculation. It's not hard to figure out.
