Branford got 6 yrs & $78 million $50 million guaranteed.

Why would a team want to pay that to a player to sit on the bench unproven for 3 to 4 yrs?

Cuz it's frigging Andrew Luck who everyone is saying is the best QB prospect since Manning himself. It wouldn't really be sitting on the bench for 3 years, he would be training under Manning and learning to be a much better QB. Seriously though, there's not really anyone else who can train and teach young QB like Manning could.
