JoJo would have been nothing more than a 5th WR on this team and we weren't even sure if he'd be the starting KR/PR if he made the roster. Not sure why all you excitement is lost on the season because he was cut, he wasn't going to see much of the field anyway. Keep in mind, most of the stuff you saw from him was against guys from other teams who likely also go cut. He wasn't out there lighting Richard Sherman on fire or anything.
Brisett is young and seems like he's got a lot of talent. Tolzein hasn't lit the world on fire the past few weeks and Morris played pretty well. Brisett likely has more potential and raw talent than either of the other two and could perhaps serve as a long-term back-up to Luck if we trade or release Tolzein this year or next. Dorsett was a bubble guy on the roster, so at least we got something for him.
I didn't say I lost all my enthusiasm for the season, I may regain it later. But for today this is a downer. It's not as much about Natson, although he was exciting as a WR, as it is is about the realization that the Colts do not trust Morris to lead the team in Luck's absence. I don't understand how much more the guy had to do in the preseason, score a TD on every pass attempt?
I don't understand the argument about upside, sounds like a cliché too me. The best predictor about the future is still the past, and I think Belichick made another fool of Ballard like he makes of all the other football people in the NFL who never get that he is always a step ahead of everybody else. I also believe Dorsett was not properly utilized by our coaches who rather than playing to players' strengths try to make them fit their rigid schemes.
OK and if they absolutely wanted to trade him why trade him for a backup QB and to Patriots of all teams? Anyway,
I could go on an on, please understand this not necessarily an argument or disagreement with you, I'm just letting some frustration with the Colts go here.

You have the right to feel as you want. Nobody will take that from you.
To me, they are fringe/bubble players, though. They have to get great fast, or get replaced. It's the way of the NFL.
Nobody knows how much of the playbook these guys know, how they do in film study, how prompt they are to team meetings, what their situational instincts (football IQ) are, how well they know their roles and duties, the detail of their assignments, ability to diagnose the opponent and their scheme, etc...
PTiger coached... ask him if these other things are important too, and not just making splash plays here there...
Being gifted athletically is one thing, but it the sum of the parts that make a player. We just don't have all of that info. Our coaches do, and they make decisions based upon the body of information, including game tape. I have to trust our new GM, and the coaching staff (which has two other former head coaches on it as well!).
OK, all that may be true, but tell me what's wrong with Morris and why Bissett and Tolzien are better than him?
-
I'm disappointed with Colts acquiring that QB from New England. I would have been happy if they started Morris until Luck comes back, with Tolzien as a backup. Then release Tolzien and keep Morris as a backup. This and cutting Natson took away all my excitement about the season.
Sorry, right or wrong but that's how I feel.

I hope they cut Bostic. I would have kept Spence over him too. I hope they at least keep George.

Patriots cut Gronk's brother.

Saw parts of the game with no sound. Only consistent thing I saw on every play was- Clark getting beaten like a drum, no matter where they lined him up.
Based solely on his preseason performance he should be cut. However, last year he was abysmal in the preseason but played OK later in the season.

Yes with Stevie, no with Scotty.

Let them over pay for him then. Joe Haden has had 2 at best average years with injury concerns. Not everything they do is perfect, they gave us a 4th for Dwayne Allen, he's looking terrible in their camp while we took Marlon Mack
Speaking of this, I have a feeling Allen is going to get cut.
-
I want to see more of this.
It is possible since the characters involved are on our team.
-
It looks like they trated power over placement, hoping placement will get better and better with time.

We got that turnover on the 3rd or 4th play on the 1st drive. Ball was at the 50. Everything else you said I agree tho
5th play, fumble, ball at Colts 33 yard line
-
Some football people (not just Belichick) apparently don't see Sheard as a 4 downs linebacker, or rather the main rush guy.
-
I thought Steelers moved the ball too easily against our first D on the first 2 series, and if it wasn't for the turnover they would have scored. You can't always count on turnovers. There were some good individual performances like Farley and Hairston (love his tackling).
Obviously the offense looked much better with Moncrief, Dorsett and Gore playing. The OL was better but still too many QB hits allowed.
Morris should definitely be the starter in Luck's absence. There is something about him that makes him look like a real QB, like how he always seems to be in control, sets his protection, makes it look easy, seems unflappable under pressure.

Should have taken Jake Butt in the 4th round instead of Grover Stewart.
Hooker and Butt on the same team? No way!

Williams is probably the best TE on the roster next to Doyle.
-
I'm watching Lions -Patriots preseason game and I really liked the Lions' backup QB, Rudock. I'm curious what the Colts' personnel people think of him and of a possible trade.
-
I'm convinced Morris will play with the starter even though he may not start the game. I like looking at the practice pics and it appears that he practiced with the 1st team offense this week.
-
Is this picture an indication that Morris practiced with the first team today, or was Castonzo either passing by or demoted to the 2nd team?

We'll know by September 2. Thats the deadline to activate him
They will have to activate him regardless, if they think he can come back in a few weeks.
-
Yes, I think we can check a box at the RB position for the Colts next to Marlon Mack's name.

Honestly, though, I think Morris is getting better protection overall.
I just want to see him play with the 1's to see what he can really do.
He's not getting better protection, he's better at directing his linemen. He is in "good command" like they like to say.
-
I was watching the defense during Luck's first season. Not a lot of talent but that team played together.

Are you guys regreting Manusky?
Colts Roster Moves (Countdown to 53)

Because I like how Morris played when I saw him very much, and he was already on the roster.
When the decision makers on the Colts consistently played Tolzien over Morris, and worse, Walker over Morris for the first 2 games, why should I trust them when they bring Brissett in?
I certainly hope their decision was not based on Brissett's performance against Giants' 3rd stringers or in the Pats win against Houston in the regular season due to Belichick's team outstanding game planning ( he barely managed 200 yards struggling with team scoring 0 points the next game against the Bills).
