If Mitchell has the "want to", working with Reggie he could be great.

You may have booed too soon.

I know several athletes that are diabetics, even some Type 1. It's not the problem it used to be.

It's about time.

Really hard to figure out how this draft will fall with all the QBs taken in round 1. Were the QB needing teams desperate? Or were those kids really that good? The WRs left are good not great prospects, IMO. Looks like we're still a couple of years away from being a SB competitive team. At this point it's not a lack of talent, it's putting the talent we have together to make the best use of it. So it would seem BPA is what is going to dictate our next pick.

When measuring the Colt's front office drafting strategy and performance, they don't have to be perfect, just should just be better than all other teams in the NFL. This relative performance can be measured. It isn't a subjective, arbitrary value. It's often dumbed down to a simple letter grade, like in grade school. These techniques are used by all sorts of companies to evaluate strengths / weaknesses the competition, and to do self-assessments for future improvements over a period of several years.

If we are being chased by a bear, I don't have to run faster than the bear, I just have to run faster than you. That's the nature of the Colt's front office performance compared with all other NFL front offices. You can't optimize any system by optimizing the performance of any one component. You have to optimize the system as a whole given the constraints posed by any particular components (so-called Theory of Constraints).

I have no idea how it will all shake out, but I have my popcorn ready.

There are no owners in the NFL that are perfect people. Some owner's demons are more public, some not so much, but they all have them. There's much more to the free agency issue and the Colts than most are aware of. There are a lot of intangibles most will never consider. That said, there is more to almost every aspect of any organization that most will ever be aware of. Those are often the things that matter most.

You can't measure what is "right" in a vacuum, or just by "feel". It takes so much more than that. The Colts front office performance is judged in relationship with all the other teams in the NFL. Just trying to objectively align the different perspectives of the scouting and coaching staff requires more sophisticated evaluation methods than what we saw in the video. It doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling, but I understand this is the way a lot of organizations work.

Defenses are judged relative to their offenses and achievement of their defensive strategy. Notice, nothing was said about winning and losing, directly. I've seen defenses win and lose football games, just as I have seem good defenses play on the losing side. The Colts signing their own players doesn't tell me much. The Colts bringing Bradley back tells me more, and I'm not encouraged by what that is telling me. I think the game of football is far more complex and complicated than most people believe. The tendency for many is to think in terms of plug-and-play solutions based on subjective personal opinion. That's not a winning ploy in my book. I guess we'll see what happens as it plays out on the field?

It's amazing how two people can watch the same thing and come to very different conclusions. Last year, the Colts defense was mediocre at best.

The game is bigger than any one player - and that includes the quarterback.

With pick #15, we'll know what we did 2 weeks from today.

I say "so-called artificial intelligence" because there is only intelligence or not. Generative and transformers AI used in LLMs are not intelligent, they only act like an intelligent agent, sometimes. It's the difference between a surgeon and an actor who plays a surgeon on TV.
