    They could very well turn out to be flops, but imo its not a huge deal because its not like we are throwing outrageous amounts of money at free agents like we did in years past.

     

    Ballard, it seems is following a plan, His agenda is to make the Team better , So far his approach is common sense, address the blatant needs While not compromising the teams future.

    Thank God Chuck figured it out that he had to go on 4th and 7. Maybe we were lucky it was the 2 minute warning and he had ample time to think it through . I was certified they would punt it away.

     

    I was waiting on the old line up everyone to one side and snap it to a receiver play

    Does your line of work only have 32 positions in the world?

    If you truly think his choices in players are nothing but a knee jerk reaction I guess you wasn't paying attention.

    He has missed on picks more than we most like but the players taken was picks of need IMO. Those can't be called knee jerk reactions when he has drafted positions of need. Other than the Luck pick (no brainer) Grigson has not had the opportunity to have a high pick in the draft. That in itself tells us that the Colts are not as bad as you believe.

     Take a look at the good GMs in the league and you will see that most of those faired no better than Grigson if their first years of starting. You are the one with the knee jerk reaction in reality.

    No I'm a simple factory worker and in reality, in my opinion I do my job better than he does his.

      He has missed on most of his picks  and fa  . You can give him a free pass and think that he is good at  his job but the facts say different,

     

      Picks of need  our number # 1 pick last year,  WR Really  That was not a pick of need, I dont claim to be a football guru  but I do know what I see and  My eyes tell me he is not good at evaluating talent, or evaluating the colts needs.

       I think the colts deserve better and Luck for sure deserves better,

    You sir, must not be paying attention

    That said I hope that the colts are not as bad as I fear and that grigson doesnt suck as bad as it seems .I will   root for the colts till all the games are played and I will be the first to eat crow when we win the SB,

    Go Colts, Grigson sucks

    For Pete's Sake people.  Some of you are acting like this is the Browns.  If 2-14 is just a fluke season, and 8-8 is a bad season, because we usually go 11-5, then we actually have it pretty good.

     

    Of course nobody, including myself, is satisfied if we don't win the Super Bowl, so every single team that doesn't win the Super Bowl has its' share of finger-pointing after the season.

     

    You want to blame Grigson for no SBs, you have to give him credit for an AFC Championship, which he got one step closer to each year since he took over.  The entire draft this year was OLine and Defense.  If he does that again next year, we have a ourselves a contender.  This year is going to be close.  Maybe the most parity I've seen in the league in years.  Every team has something to complain about, especially along the OLine.  While the best OLine in the league lost its' starting QB.

     

    We just need Luck to stay healthy.  11-5 could win our division this year.  Then we see what happens in the playoffs.  :clover:

     Not really correct I dont blame him for no sb I blame him for not having the ability to get competitive players, He has gotten lucky with a couple but for the most part most of his selections or players would not start on the browns. His selections seem to be knee jerk reactions instead of any kind of a thought out process, If I made as many mistakes at my job as he has I would be unemployed.

    As someone else has noted about good o-lines and QB's getting hurt......

     

    Take Dallas,  which has the #1 offensive line....   and they have Tony Romo,  who gets hurt no matter whose blocking in front of him.

     

    So,  the idea that Luck is going to get an "out" in his contract is a non-starter.     Never happening.

     

    It's football.     Players get hurt --- period.

     

    Stuff happens.

     

     

    Odds are he would last a lot longer behind that ol than the colts ol

    Jesus tapdancing Christ we've seen 3 PRESEASON games of our OL.  

     

    These childish rants are just asinine. Pagano doesn't feel the need to scold his players? You're basing this on what exactly? 

    It doesnt matter if its preseason or not if you put luck out there with this oline he will get hurt ,not IF but WHEN! He ( luck )should of had  language in his contract stating if they didnt improve the oline significantly he could opt out and go somewhere where they would protect there franchise qb, If luck gets hurt on the first snap because  one of the ol missed his block whos fault is it? Not lucks, it falls right on Grigsons shoulders for not evaluating the talent pool  well enough. These are his guys he picked or traded for them .

    Turns out Ryan Lochte was mostly telling the truth.  People just wanted to pile on.  Turns out he peed in a bush and pulled down a poster and got shook down with a gun a demands of money.

    Is that the story now ? Why did he not fess up in the first place. My point was he lied to cover up a mistake.

    Lets just look at the pros and cons of this. The pros, He would be relentless in the pursuit of perfection,He has earned the respect off anyone important in football, The players would play to his expectations or not play at all, He knows FOOTBALL, The cons, cant thank of any.I would give him the reins NOW. To bad Jim owns the Colts or #18 would be the GM HC and play when needed.  You will be sorry when he takes over the broncos!

    Excellent insight and perspective. Tell us more. While your at it tell us how reaching for a lower graded player on a teams draft board is better then taking the BPA on a teams draft board

    Its really not that hard a lower graded o-line man might have played a few more snaps because we needed  one alot of good it did to draft  bpa , For sure our first rounder did nothing last year to keep our qbs from getting hurt.

    There are a lot of people on here who subscribe to the notion that we have one of the worst lines in the league. Sure, just as with any team, the line could be improved and we shouldn't exactly be happy with it, especially their run and screen blocking. But it has improved every year under the new regime, and by my eyes was right around par with the rest of the league. The Patriots and Seahawks both had far worse lines, but they negated it with excellent scheming/QB play. The whole, 'We went through 5 QBs last year so our Oline sucks' narrative is wrong for several reasons. 

     

    1. Technically we only had 3 injured QBs. Freeman and Lindley were brought in for the last game; Freeman played the bulk of it, Lindley ran the hurry up offense at the end of the first half and got us a TD.

     

    2. Luck had a couple injuries, and contrary to what a lot of posters would have us believe, they were largely on him. A lot of people think he was hurt in the first or second game when he was getting hit left and right from NY and Buffalo's massive blitzes. That very well could be true, but that doesn't mean it was the line's fault. Typically when facing all out blitzes every down, an offensive coordinator and QB will call out quick hitting plays. You can't expect 5 or 6 pass blockers to be able to block 7 guys long enough that a WR can run a go route and beat his man. Whatever game caused Luck's first injury, it was the fault of Pep Hamilton and himself. Against Denver he got hurt again. I'm sorry, but I have a hard time faulting the Oline with the amount of times he was taking off and running with the ball, only compounding the issue by never sliding. The guy has the biggest balls of any QB in the game, and it caused him to get hurt this year. I'm hoping these issues are fixed this year with a new OC and QB coach.

     

    3. Hasselbeck is a 40 year old man. He scraped out a few wins until the league realized that the old man can't throw down the field, negating our deep threat, and they were able to adjust their defense accordingly. He started taking a few more hits once the offense became too predictable, and big shocker, the 40 year old man's arthritic body couldn't hold up. 

     

    4. Then there's Clipboard Jesus. I'm not even sure why we signed a guy who's been in the league for 10 years and has 2,000 career yards passing. Pat McAfee would have been a better option. Regardless, he also is pretty old, and has never really proven to know what he's doing, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that he lasted half a game. I assume teams just sign him because he has a moderately funny nickname.

     

    I am happy with what Grigson/Pagano have said about the Oline; we're set at tackle and left guard. I would not be thrilled with starting Holmes and Thornton next year, but I would be far less thrilled with using a first rounder on a center or guard. I'm hoping we get some cheap, veteran help at those positions, and also see how Denzelle Good looks at RG. We don't need Alex Mack or Kelechi Osemele. I want to see Irsay's money spent on defenders, and I want to see us draft defenders. 

    Really our oline was horrible  what team were you watching? You probably liked our first round draft pick last year to.Grigson is to blame , I hope he learned something,
