Could Andrew Luck be the first year-to-year franchise quarterback?

On one hand, Colts owner Jim Irsay wants to give quarterback Andrew Luck a “shocking” contract by July 4. (Irsay probably should wait until July 5, based on what happened last July 4.) On the other hand, Irsay has called out Luck for not adequately protecting himself on the field, in part by not sliding.

Assuming there’s a method to Irsay’s remarks (and, yes, that could be reach), Irsay could be trying to point out to Luck the value of trading in the injury risk for long-term financial security that would be less than what he can earn if he chooses to make the unconventional move of playing on a year-to-year basis.

Is it possible to make a definitive statement by asking a question?
