Why would the Colts care if Luck throws as the combine if they are going to select him no matter how he performs at the combine? Unless they want to trade him and fear if he doesn't do well that his trade value will drop.

Andrew Luck

Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck is unlikely to throw at this week's combine, and news broke this morning that he was willing to, but the Indianapolis Colts had advised him against it. The latest report actually says that it is up in the air whether or not he will throw passes this week, but I wouldn't expect him to.

Luck really has no reason to throw this week, since he can't do anything to make his stock go any higher. That said, he has always been a man apart who seemed to eschew conventional wisdom and just take on every challenge presented to him. It would be extremely gutsy of him to throw, and while it might not be smart, I was hoping he'd do it.

My theory is this: Since the Combine is in the Colts' home city and the pass catchers being used will be locals, Indy doesn't want any of them hurt by their new stud QB's rocket passes. :D

You do know that Bleacher Report is a site that does not pay it's staff/bloggers/contributors/volunteers?
So, you're saying the Colts didn't advise him not to throw? and that BR lied?
I think he's saying that every little Colts nugget you come across isn't worth a new freaking thread. Better yet, I think he's saying he wants to discuss Griffin not throwing at the Combine in yet another Luck thread started by you/your alias. You don't mind, do you?I think Griffin should totally be throwing. Cam didn't look great at the Combine last year, and still went 1st overall. The other guy's draft slot is set, his name escapes me, but Griffin is still trying to convince people to move up to #2 or #3.What do you guys think??
