they get to see a guy who went 4 for 10 passing (completions included a screen pass and the weeks second best catch) replacing orton lead the team.

they'll still be a bad team but the new toy will keep people excited for a few more weeks.

Agree! He will no doubt have flashes where he plays very well. The race for Luck is wide open, Miami, Denver, Indy, Jacksonville certainly in mix at this point.

I will be suprised if he completes over 55% of his passes

Denver at Miami this week might have a big say in who eventually lands the first pick.

Good point. Interesting time for a first start. :rolleyes

Denver sells out, the extra butts in the seats mentioned by others is being blown way out of proportion. Might be the first time ever the coach and team president hope their 1st round qb sucks. It would make both of their jobs easier.

They actually play next week.

I just think it Miami for a couple of reasons. Obviously they lost Henne (not that he was anything special) for the rest of the season.

They have a lame duck coach, Sparano is a goner. You would think guys will start throwing in the towel.

Their schedule is murder. It just seems like it's the perfect storm for them to end up the worst team in the league.

Jacksonville and the Colts still have to play each other twice which will take at least one team out of the equation.

I'm pretty sure all of the aforementioned teams aren't any worse than just about anybody in the NFC West with the exception of the 49ers. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, Seahawks, and Rams, they all have to play each other.
