Luck can win with this o-line, but Hasselbeck can't? Come on, we aren't talking about Kerry Collins in INDY here Matthew can move, change his launch point, & still generate completions & keep drives alive.

Experience matters Jvan. You make it sound like Matthew is an invalid, senior citizen in a wheel chair. LOL! He's not at death's door man.

How many mobile 39 year old qbs are you aware of? Not many qbs would survive behind the oline play we have become accustomed to. Hopefully we won't have to find out how good he can still be.

I will grant you that as a QB ages they tend to slow down & have a harder time healing from injuries & Matthew does have lingering back pain issues. I won't lie about that. 

 

How old was Brett Favre in 2009 when he took the Vikings to the NFC Championship Game? He almost got the job done despite the beating he took in that game. 

 

Like you said, hopefully we'll never have to put Matthew out there & find out.  ;)

Where does southwest1 say that Matt took the Titans to a division title? It was kind of hard for the Titans, Jags and Texans to win a division when Manning was with the Colts. In case your memory is bad Matt did take the Seahawks to the super bowl. Didn't win it but lost to the Steelers on some very controversial calls by the refs.

Everytime I watch the 2005 SB, it royally ticks me off. Worst zebra officiating I have ever seen in my bleeping life. Grrr!

 

Yeah I know. I gotta let it go, but I can't because I was really pulling for Matthew & HC Mike Holmgren in Detroit that night. Darn it. Oh well, such is life I guess.

This isn't fantasy football.  The man has a family who may have a say in the decision.  Plus he is in a great situation professionally.  He has nothing left to prove to anyone anymore.  Multi-million dollar mentor to the youth of the team.  By extension, a multi-million dollar cheerleader.

As i have mentioned several times. He took the Seahawks to the superbowl nine years ago. My other point was, if he couldn't win the south when he was the titans qb, how could he do it now with this oline? He is 39 years old. He wouldn't make it four games with our protection

because it takes teams not just a QB to win a division. I think one could say that the talent outside of the oline and maybe the running back is far better on this Colts team than those titans teams.

Also, Luck could get an injury that causes him to miss two weeks or something. It doesn't have to be a season ending injury. Let's just say Luck gets hurt in the Eagles game and Hasslebeck has to play the next two games against the a jags and titans. You don't think Hasslebeck could win one if not both those games? At the end of the year those one or two wins might very well make the difference on if the Colts make the playoffs or their playoff seeding.

Being a backup QB that must be ready at all times is not a cheerleader. A mentor is not a cheerleader.

Not happing

I know.. That was my point. Hasselbeck stays unless someone offers a first. That's the only way I'd b willing to trade him. And considering no one would ever give up a 1st for him, he stays that's how much I value his mentoring of luck. Guess I have to make sure I type on Barney's level from now on.

      Pick #46/ #82 What's Available Day 2? Discussion

      By Crunked · Posted

      I thought someone might ask "who" I would want him to swing for the fences for.....and its tough to explain, but I will try. I would have loved Marv Jr. for nostalgia but knew that was unrealistic at any cost.....Liked the idea of Brock Bowers, etc. but its not really "WHO" for me, it was the effort, risk it....and this applies to FA as well. Go out on a limb for a difference maker, I think they are more qualified to determine "who" that is than I.....and maybe there wasn't one. but over the last 7 or 8 years there have been opportunities in FA and draft. So maybe my disappointment is more cumulative than this instance specific......Dunno if that makes sense, he has played it safe for years and does well with what he has had, guess I am saying (my opinion) at some point you gotta say "I am pushing all in" for this player as we need that over the top player now......and he never seems to reach that boiling point.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      Nice to see you so positive Doug. I like the pick as well the more I think about it. Hopefully we have our QB in AR, our RT in Raimann, and now our Edge in Latu + Buckner is still All-Pro worthy on the D.Line. Pittman is a good possession WR but I still wish we had a legit deep threat to really open things up at WR. I guess if Taylor runs the ball at a pro-bowl level it could open things up more, hopefully Nelson stays healthy. I do like Downs a lot. Pierce to me, is on a prove it to me level.

      This is how I feel as well. It’s frustrating to see other teams in our division build around their young QB and we’re left watching. Seems like a broken record but year after year we enter the draft with SO many holes. The Texans basically went worst to first and will even be better this year with the moves they made. At some point I hope we can get out of the mud. AR needs another weapon and sadly the ones that could make an immediate impact are gone.

      I think Latu is exactly that kind of player, who is said to be the most special edge rusher in the draft. Only concern with him was neck injury, but he recovered from that 2 years ago and his awesome tape shows the kind of special player, far from injury concerns. Without that injury history, he'd have been top-10, if not top-5, player in this draft easily.    So, what more swing-for-fences move you refer to? Which player did you have in mind?
