Would you still be a Colts fan if they moved to another city?

But seriously, if the modern day Colts moved to another city, would you still be a fan of them?

 

Me? I would be. Its the team I grew up with. 

Same here. That has been my favorite team since they moved to Indy so I don't think it would change now as I am getting older.

Well I'll be the first to vote not only NO but h e double hockey sticks NO!!!  

 

Yes i I realize the Colts came here from Baltimore but the circumstances lead to that with eminent domain trying to be used. The recent moves by San Diego(now LA) Chargers, the raiders and rams annoy the heck out of me and really turn me off as a fan towards ever watching them. I get that the NFL is a business first but it's getting to the point where they are taking their fans for granted and searching only for money. After the tax payers of this city footed the bill for not one but TWO new stadiums for the Colts, I'd be beyond angered if they even thought about moving.

I'm old, prehistoric but surely not a living treasure!  I go back to names as Donovan, Gino, Mutz, The Horse, Johnny U, Vogel and Moore!  Why would I switch loyalties just for another Mayflower move.  Nope then I'd have to remodel my Colts Corner!  I bleed blue, been a Colts fan before many of you were born!  I'm married for life!  Oh and I wish it was only 2/3 hour drive to Indy.

Indianapolis is not Baltimore. Unless some heinous potential eminent domain chicanery were taking place that could force the team to have no other recourse but to seek a new home, unless some situation like that existed (which it does not now exist), I would feel hurt and betrayed were the Colts to leave Indianapolis. I would likely not continue to feel the same affection for the organization if that were to happen.

I can't say for sure, but I'd probably be too bummed to be a Colts fan anymore... If another franchise moved here after, I'd be tempted to root for them...

 

I would definitely stay a Colts fan if I moved out of Indiana, myself...

 

I definitely wouldn't be able to be a fan of an L.A. Colts team... Part of the charm of the Colts, for me, is at least the pretense of a Midwestern work ethic and emphasis on character, despite how incompatible that image is with reality at times.

I am an asian dude living in Cali. I never lived in nor visited anywhere near Indy, but I am Indy fan since Marshall Faulk days. I'm an Indy fan for life! haha

 

 

Same, except I am a white dude from Oregon.

 

But, if Portland got a team that would change. I would be a fan of both teams but develop more of a connection with the Portland team over time.

I've always liked the Colts style of play as well as their personell, the QB tradition

I became a Colts fan when my favorite Ohio State player joined them.  Tom Matte.  That's how ancient I am. So yeah, I'd follow the laundry again.

I became a Colts fan when they drafted Peyton Manning, and I live in Colorado. So I've had a lot of good memories and wouldn't leave them. The city doesn't matter too much unless they moved to California or New York (the two states I really don't like). If I wanted to root for someone else, I would root for the Broncos, and I remained with the Colts, even when Peyton got signed by them (only rooted for them in the SB for Peyton).

Yes Tom Matte.  The Garbage Man!  That was no disrespect to him but a true compliment!  He was always there for the scheduled pick up; did his job and didn't complain; actually did more as he was an emergency QB think during the playoffs game with plays on a wrist band; yes and a garbage truck cost more and last longer than your luxury car, it ain't pretty but gets the job done... Yes smonroe Tom Matte was the man!

I already answered this question ... with their move from Baltimore.

    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :   
    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
    • No.   You weren’t.   If you were the least bit sincere, we’d be having these conversations in private.  But you’ve repeatedly ignored my efforts to do that.  Your call.      Then you avoid me until I’m in an uncomfortable conversation with another poster.   You use that awkward moment as an excuse for you to come in with some sincere friendly advice.   The problem is, you’re neither sincere, nor friendly.  And you’ve been doing this for months now.  This is not new.   The pattern is clear and obvious.     And the shame of it all is that even with our different views on Ballard we have enough in common that we should be friendly.  Maybe not friends, but friendly.  You wouldn’t need to address me as “Sir.”    “Good deed going unpunished”.  You flatter yourself.     But your actions speak much louder than your words.   There’s no reason for me to trust you.  And here we are.  A real shame.      
    • In a year when the Colts were in serious need of a QB and in position to draft one, Ballard came up in front of the media 3 days before the draft and straight up said something to the effect of "That guy everybody in media is talking about(Levis), we are not taking him". I don't know why you think the Colts are trying to throw us off the scent this year specifically. They are not trying to give us away the pick(thus the vagueness), but I also don't really think they are trying to mislead anybody. This usually becomes specifically apparent in retrospect after the draft when you look back at a lot of those quotes in the videos they release pre-draft... and they were talking precisely about players we ended up drafting, which they reveal in the post-draft video by extending some of those quotes(they did that with AR last year for example).    And about why people are doing it(guessing who they are talking about) - because it is fun. Nobody has the illusion that we will be right in our guesses 100% of the time... or anywhere close really... but it's still fun. And it's part of why the Colts release those videos with those quotes - to create engagement with the fanbase... part of which, and the entirety of which that 70 pages thread and whole board is about in the offseason. is to guess who the Colts might take and how they might feel about specific prospects.
