They ABSOLUTELY DESERVE THIS as they tanked to begin with to get him.

Not an OUNCE of sympathy here.

I agree with this for sure and with the idea of Grigson not protecting him with an OL. Remember the year he chose a small WR (Dorsett) in the first round instead of a G/T? Unbelievable. That 2nd round is littered with G/Ts still in the league.

We are losers as well as we never got to see this potentially great QB develop into what he could be. Say what you want about Peyton Manning, you loved seeing him bring his circus to town. Same with Patrick Mahomes in 2 weeks, who's not looking forward to that? 

I have more sympathy for NFL fans than I do for Indianapolis fans- they do deserve this and now watch what they'll do this year, they'll tank big time and land one of the big three. They will likely benefit from this in the long run- avoid QB purgatory and start over with another stud. They actually make out pretty good in all this.
