Really? He can’t throw a football...yet he can pass a physical? Luck is on his way to recovery...but if he isn’t at the process to be throwing he isn’t healthy enough to pass a physical.

 

There is a difference in not being able to throw a football and not throwing a football.

Fans in Indy would burn down the W 56th St complex if they did that

 

Colts fans are probably the least likely to do something like that in the NFL. I mean look what they did about Peyton...

He hasn't thrown a football,   it doesn't mean he can't.

I'd ask for their whole draft plus a first next year/ or Myles Garrett.

We missed that opportunity when we didn't take Clevelands offer in 2012.   I believe they offered us a Hershal Walker-like trade.   

 

If the OP's scenerio was offered, I would at least consider it.

Ok ok...semantics...just saying the guy isn't healthy enough to be traded...I don't know why anyone would spend time going over trade scenarios. I'm sure he isn't cleared by our staff....I very positive he isn't cleared by his own doctors....why would Cleveland clear him for a trade if we don't even know he is going to be able to come back. If he is healthy I would not trade him...and if he isn't nobody would want him. It's a mute point is all.

Maybe we could trade for him in our traditional family reunion football game! Usually have 3 or 4 games a year topping off with the super bowl on thanksgiving day while we wait for the Turkey to cook!

I about laughed when on Good morning football on the NFL Network did a little draft trade acting, and the " Giants " called the colts and said for your 6th overall we will give you OBJ. and then the guy acted like ballard and said deal. :lol: Ballard is not that dumb to give up that pick for a trouble maker. guy may be suspended after his recent pics that were released of him doing drugs with escorts lol.

The dude looked jacked in that photo from his book club site. He didn't get back to that by squeezing those stress balls from the drug store.

 

It's obvious now the colts aren't going to say squat after all the dumb media stuff last year. He'll be out there when camp starts. 

 

One thing nobody considers is what would be considered a small setback after surgery in the real world is magnified in terms of an nfl player. Even if it was only a one month setback, in nfl terms that's 25% of an entire season. Not much in real life terms. He's gotta be good at this point, if not then it basically 'sucks'.

    • Really good info.   Thanks for sharing 
    • I hate it. People are still suffering money wise from inflation, and streaming used to be an alternative, but now it’s just as expensive to have all of these services to the point we’ll have to switch back to cable just to save money.    The consumer just never wins…
    • Of course.   I don’t think I disagree.   But I think Ballard knows his players and if/when to gamble on bringing them back.     Not sure I follow your comment about the draft behind him with Pierce be the same as pass rusher?   Can you elaborate?  
    • Last year was brutal for you?   Seriously?   Last year was one of the most enjoyable seasons of my 12+ years of Colts fandom!   A season where the Colts exceeded expectations while playing their backup quarterback.  Watching Steichen coach the heck out of this team!   A real pleasure.  Honestly.    And given the nature of how negative things are around here I’ll share a thought that I fully expect to get laughed at over… Ballard didn’t take the job over Luck.  Ballard took the job over Irsay.   I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Irsay, who had been a GM, then hired Bill Polian,  then Ryan Grigson who got exec of the year one year, then Ballard who also got executive of the year one year.   I don’t believe in coincidences like that.   Irsay knows the complexities of the job.   When Ballard took the job it wasn’t clear what was happening with Luck?   The one constant was Irsay.    Plenty of decisions were made with the trio…. Irsay, Ballard and Reich.     After the Luck retirement the Colts were in win-now mode.  They had a young team built to win and weren’t going to tell them the team was going to be in re-build mode for 2-4 years while a young quarterback learned on the job.     Things look obvious in hind sight.  The Colts plans were known in real time and they made what they felt were the only decisions that they could.   Try to win every year.  And part of the reason Ballard hasn’t been fired is that Irsay approved of those plans, he signed off on them.     Im sorry you may not watch this year.  Steichen is a really sharp guy.  Fun to watch.   I hope you’ll reconsider.   
    • Anyone interested in the #3 position, the Patriots are considering trading down.  Send me a message if you’re interested.
