Why is never the players' fault for stinking it up?

Whats nots simply about it, it's on the coaching and gm at the end of the day 

And what responsibility lies with the player? Please enlighten us. Actually, this kind of comment is ridiculous. If it were true, all New England Patriot players over the last 15 years would be HOFers, as we all regard the NE coaching staff as the gold star standard. Or is it only applicable to the Colts?

1.Its on the GM/Coach if the GM brings in a player that is good at 1 particular area of the game yet the coaching staff tries to force him into a specific role unrelated to what his skill is 1 example: Pass rusher a GM brings in yet the coach drops him back in coverage multiple times a game

 

 

2.Its on the player if he is hyped up being a good pass rusher/man cover corner/insert specific quality here but yet when we bring him in and he flames out after that skill is put to use correctly. That's on the player.

the responsibility of getting guys to play to their ability is the job of the coaches and finding the type of players that the coaches can get the most out of is on the gm. only thing thats on the player is to play to the best of their ability. that being said doesn't mean the ability is high , which comes back to the gm finding them guys and the coaches getting them to preform

So, what if they have a lot of ability, but can't play to the expected standard, you push all the blame to others and not the player himself?

You make a great point, in the case of players like Josh Gordon and Albert haynsworth type players it's on them your 100% right. But gm has to identify them and get them off the team

Hope so NFC. Thanks for asking. Wife broke her ankle last week wnd seeing the surgeon on Monday. All being well, I will be going!

ooooh  So sorry to hear that.  I had my ankle in one of those lovely boot casts 4 years ago for about 8 weeks.  I feel for her and hope she can find some comfort.    I hope you can still make it to the game, I know how much you were looking forward to going.

    • Sorry late to the party line chat on Page 57 of 94   Skyy Moore, deleted that draft class and notes but Moore seemed to have some potential but wasn't sold on him.  Viewed Moore as an average receiver not much more.  I wouldn't trade for him.   If you were looking to trade for any WR, I would suggest targeting the Packer's Dontayvion Wicks.    As for some of these other comments that I have read up and not going to ready through 30 pages.  Colts spent 200M on most of their own (top NFL) players,    Recent news I saw is that the Colts haven't had any communication talks about trading for Sneed.  How true that is or not to be seen.  Seems the Colts have done a lot spending 200M on their own and doubt we have much cap space left to sign a big-name player like Sneed.  Still haven't seen latest cap space figures since our latest signing.     The Colts build through the draft and those expectations will not change this season.  Again, our organization was lucky enough to sign some of our best positional players.  Sadly, not everyone can get resigned and do expect Blackmon to move on.  Latest rumor is Blackmon signs with the Bills. 
    • The problem is Ballard drafts traitsy raw guys more often than not, so by the time AR is ready we likely won't know if the guys he drafted are IT. That issue then gets compounded by Ballard not using FA to bring in guys who work NOW. THEN if the guys he drafts miss, we'll be waiting another 2-4 years on the next batch... see the problem?   That's fair I guess, but Armstead and Huff were signed for ~$17m/year.   Huff was the 2nd most efficient pass rusher IN THE LEAGUE in 2023 behind only Micah Parson - that's better than Myles Garrett, TJ Watt, Nick Bosa you name 'em. For $17m that's worth taking a shot at, because even if he only produces at a good level he'd still likely be a Jonathan Greenard who signed for $19m. IF he works out though he'd be the bargain of the decade.   Armstead has already played with Buckner and he would be a big upgrade over Grover Stewart for $4m more per year than what we signed Grover for.
    • Great post, thanks.  One of your best.    I think your roster bonus argument crushes my signing bonus argument.   100 percent flattens it.   Like a Quinton Nelson pancake!   I don’t see a counter argument.     Many thanks.          
    • I’d like to focus on one paragraph.   The one about AR working out.   You connect AR working out, which will take 2-4 more years to confirm with “the roster as it is now.”    Thats a flaw.   When we know about AR working out, whether it’s 26, or 27,  that will be connected to the roster that he has THEN, not the roster he has NOW.   See the disconnect?  The roster should be better to support AR.   And I wouldn’t call guys like Luvu or Stone, both guys I like, as shiny toys.  They’re solid players I think we’d all like.  The Sony toys are the four big name plays you listed.  Those guys are just too expensive.  
    • Unless you're the Lions and draft 18th.  I did like Jack Campbell last year.    Agree do think Cooper would be around 20th and later.
