In two games against Houston this season T.Y. Hilton has posted 7 catches for 189yds. 27ypc and 2TDs...  his best receiving numbers against any team.

 

I think its great that this so-called "smurf" has been showing up big against our biggest rivals. He has been one of the reasons our future is looking brighter by the week.

Alshon Jeffrey was called out before the game Sunday by his own team to come through while teams are double teaming BM.  My point is that he was regarded as a better prospect and he's much taller than Hilton.  Proof that height isn't the sole predictor of production.

Worth trading up for? Heckuva Good Eye Mr. Grigson.

MUCH HARDER drafting at the end of each round! GL

I see this argument all the time, and agree that it'll be interesting to see how Grigs fares in his second draft... but the "drafting at the end" bit only really applies to the first round, IMO.

Imagine taking away the Luck pick, and evaluating what Grigs did the rest of the way. I'd argue he still did better than most teams picking in the back half of the draft. JMO.

Fleener remains the pick I'm least impressed with, but Allen, Hilton and Ballard look awesome, Brazill shows promise, and I'm looking forward to seeing how Chapman and Anderson develop.

I know Luck is the piece that makes everything else work, and that these other guys were pressed into action out of necessity because the cupboard was pretty bare, but I think it needs to be noted how remarkable the Colt's '12 draft really was.

Fleener contributed as much, if not more than Brazill, and he played significantly less than Allen. On straight contribution he was less impressive than Allen, but he had lest playing time obviously. I've been impressed with them all (those that played). Once we have better pass protection and blocking, these kids could be a big time weapon!

      Peyton at the Masters

      By Nevbot · Posted

      I just thought I would take this opportunity to brag a bit about the fact that I had the opportunity to chat with Peyton at the Masters last week for about 5 minutes.  Truly a bucket list experience and I must say, he has the Southern Hospitality that one might expect but wow- did not expect to run into him and it was quite the experience.  It just had to be the one place left on earth where cell phones are banned, so no picture opportunity unfortunately.   I told Peyton that my first Colts experience was riding to Buffalo in a blizzard when the Colts were 14-0 and they benched him only to lose that game. I said thanks for my first Colts experience being one where he was riding the pine.  He laughed, apologized to me and said that if it was up to him he would have been checking down in that snow storm for 4 quarters.  He thanked me for the support, and was asking me a bit about myself, where I am from, etc.  Quite the gentleman! I think it was obligatory for him to be nice to patrons while he was wearing his Green Jacket, but none the less....a great experience meeting a childhood hero. Lynn Swann walked up to us while we were talking and shook Peyton's hand.  I joked that now was the perfect time for a 10 yard slant- and then slid into the bushes like Homer Simpson with humility.    Unforgettable experience everyone!   Would love to hear some of your Peyton stories from over the years, since it is a bit of a slow time of year before the draft! Let it fly Colts fans

      Poll: 2024 QB prospects

      By John Hammonds · Posted

      I agree.  I think this is another one of those over-hyped QB classes that will probably never perform to the level of the hype. But -- teams still need a quarterback.  And will convince themselves that that must take one of these quarterbacks.  That it's the only solution to their problem.  If I was forced to choose, I would probably go with Heisman winner Jayden Daniels.  I'm concerned that Caleb Williams may have some personality issues to go with his lack of measurables, even though he shows strong ability to improvise.  Drake Maye has the measurables, but I have questions regarding the level of opposition playing at UNC.  It's not the same as playing the equivalent of the Crimson Tide every single week.  JJ McCarthy is "good".  And he's been successful.  He led his team to a BCS championship.  And?  I see him in the same mold as AJ McCarron.  Supremely successful in college, but not good enough to be The Guy in the pros.

      Colts offseason discussion / Ballard Grievances (merge)

      Right. KC was also a perennial playoff team prior to Mahomes taking over. The Colts are a fringe playoff team at best, until we see if AR can lift the roster.    And to your point, Veach took over the summer before Mahomes’ rookie year. Hard to compare how KC’s FO approach with Dorsey at GM (for several years) vs. when Veach took over. It seems like Ballard has been more like Dorsey and Veach might just operate differently from both of them.    If Ballard wanted to follow the Veach KC model, he sure waited a long time to do it once Luck retired.

      DeFo was an aggressive move.   But I wouldn’t classify Wentz or Ryan as aggressive moves. Getting Stafford would have been an aggressive move at QB. Wentz was cheaper and PHI was looking to dump him. They didn’t even budge from their initial offer to PHI  And Ryan sort of fell in their laps after they dumped Wentz.

      Poll: 2024 QB prospects

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      I think most important option is missing in the poll : No One.   I think it's a fairly average QB class that it's okay to not like anybody enough to draft him. There's no one QB that Wows you with their pocket passing Caliber or pure athletic traits or good combination of both. It's like a tweener class of all those abilities, having lop-sided combination of above said skills.    And, this poll, rather than forcing to pick one QB, needed that extra option to express staying away from this QB class.
