Teams like the 2000-2010 Colts could get away with primarily signing their own guys because of the actual elite talent Polian drafted. Ballard has proven he isn't that good at drafting as Polian at the very least.
Let's be honest. There is an elephant in the room that you (and everyone else that throws this concept out) are choosing to ignore. Hint: he has a big forehead and his initials are P.F.M.

Just sharing this to revisit. Many on this forum said absolutely not! Diva. Drama queen. Would rather draft Bowers or a receiver at 15.

So just waist another year evaluating. That sounds like a dumb plan.
the only one’s saying the year will be a waste is you and your negative Nancy cronies on here. No one in the organization thinks this year is going to be a waste. Regardless of what madden video game roster building other teams in the division are conducting.-

That’s a big ego to satisfy. Is he even wr1 there? How does that make Tank Dell and Niko Collins better? I’m not sure it does.
Texans have a gm that is willing to part with /reduce the usage of their in-house talent for more star power. Bold strategy… we’ll see. Hope Diggs takes his drama to Houston. No reason to change now.

That seems about right. But they have to play the game.
have to play Saturday first. It’s named madness for a reason. I never count out anybody. NC state nor Alabama. What a twist that would be for the national championship. -

You can get a player better than pittman and downs at 46
potential to be better over time, possibly. But no one at 46 is stepping in next year better than either of those. Name them so we can judge… -

That completes the cycle of returning with what we had, then adding AR to the mix. The table is set.
And whatever value Davis and Flacco (over Minshew) provides.
Table is set for the draft. I think anyways. I’m not sure there will be any more moves beforehand.-

Only $3.2m guaranteed, must be a lot of incentives.
Yeah not too much to complain about here.
I hope he stays healthy, hits them all and helps this defense get on track. I like Julian. He’s just had a lot of unfortunate bad luck with injuries.-

I don't think he'd move up in the draft, based on his pattern, his words, and his apparently risk-averse nature
I would love to see his investment portfolio. You just know he has been watching his money grow in an s & p index fund since he arrived in 2017.
Up 125% since his arrival.

Wow! That's really cheap! Still leaves us some space to make another move if we restructure someone.
Seems to be major incentive based. I would assume availability being a big one. Hope he hits the full amount. Maybe it’s a- hey you get an opportunity to hit 7 mil but also a long term deal if we can keep you on the field and continue growing. I thought he played well last year. it’s a weird situation with cross though. I think they like him, but Blackmon is clearly better and they are both better at strong safety. -

Future lines have UConn as a 5.5 point favorite over Purdue.

Which makes sense for a forum. This isn't social media where we are searching for likes.
This forum is social media by definition. But I don’t disagree…1 minute ago, KB said:This deserves a laugh emoji lol
Now I’m sad that I don’t get that dopamine rush… 😔

I think UConn destroys Alabama and Purdue beats NC State. I am not totally sold on Purdue winning but it is how I am leaning. UConn will be tough to beat for Purdue, but if Smith, Gillis, Jones and Loyer are on their game, they can be right in it.
they will have to shoot the ball well. If they can match, or preferably best UConn’s three ball, and try to keep it a battle in the paint, then they will have a chance. If they aren’t hitting shots, it won’t be a good game.
that’s assuming the win Saturday. They play the games for a reason.

I just have no idea how... I honestly give them no shot against Iowa.. Just crazy they made it this far with 5 players out due to injury
Talented, well coached, and star power leadership on the floor. Can overcome a lot of issues. I wouldn’t say they can’t beat Iowa. I don’t think Iowa’s good outside of Clark. My wife kept saying lsu had the better team, Iowa just has Caitlin Clark. Well do they really have the better team then? I’ve never seen a player like her. She has the green light this weekend, in my book. I don’t know why you would shoot the ball unless you were wide open with a good percentage. Otherwise, a contested shot 5 feet behind the three point line by Clark is more effective.-

I'm just happy duke is out of it. Congrats to NC State having both men and women make the final 4. Hoping my Huskies can follow suit tonight... although it looks grim
they got it done. Should be a great final four. Bueckers/Clark- whooa. -
It is telling how little news there has been that these threads have news ONLY as the title, and there is still nothing but discussion. There is no news… only bad news on this day.

Surely Brents couldn't possibly be a better safety.
We will see how his 4.5s speed holds up over a season
Ballard on Brents having a unique blend of size, length, and athleticism for the cornerback position: “There are not a lot of guys 6'3" playing corner in the league, but he is a really good athlete. He’s a really good fit for what we want to do because he’s a press corner. We do want to play a little more press coverage. We think he’s going to be really good at it. He’s got some unique traits. He’s a really good athlete and for a tall kid he can really change direction. We’re excited about it. We think he’s a really good fit for the defense.”Sounds like a good safety for us… If only you were general manager for our beloved Colts.

Great game. Edey is a beast. Watching closely, he is fouled on nearly every play. Defensive players just wrap their arms around him and the refs do not call it consistently. He's stayed out of foul trouble these past 2 games so I hope that continues.
he generally stays out of foul trouble. He plays intelligent enough to avoid being in bad position, and uses his length instead to contest shots.
His passing is what makes him most dangerous. Teams have to honor it, although Tennessee should have forced him to pass more, with the way their shooters weren’t connecting. I would rather die by someone else’s three ball than give up three point plays to Edey all night, fouling your guys out and creating easy free throws the last 6 plus minutes of the game.

OK, thank you. I really do appreciate your vision and football knowledge.
Surely Brents couldn't possibly be a better safety.
We will see how his 4.5s speed holds up over a season.
I'm anticipating your vet to be a 1 year placeholder as we develop another young player. We are likely competing with Tenn. this season to stay out of the division cellar and it's a must cap wise to stay inexpensive at safety for beyond 2024.
surely Brents wasn’t drafted in the 2nd round as a corner, starting his rookie year at the position to be converted to a safety… But go on with your football knowledge for all of us to laugh at. 😂-

Hard to believe. Loved Vontae. So sad.

Forever one of my favorite Colts memories. Had a great view of this at LOS. What a great football player for us.-

Draft Q Mitchell, move Brents to safety. As of now Jones and Flowers compete for the other corner.
I like the idea of Brents and Cross on the backend, with a shutdown Mitchell on an edge. I think it can be the start of something very enjoyable.
I would rather hope, if drafting Mitchell, the FO would bring a vet in at safety and make Flowers/Jones compete for the 3rd spot (not factoring Moore at the nickel). Brents is a starting corner moving forward, I don’t see anyway around that.-

Colts offseason discussion / Ballard Grievances (merge)
in Colts Football
Posted
Manning had nothing to do with elevating players? You really want to make that argument? Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, Lebron James don’t elevate teammates? I don’t buy that at all. We don’t know what Clark and Wayne would have done at other teams at all. We only know what they did when Peyton Manning (or in Wayne’s case towards the end of his career, andrew luck) were throwing to them. Polian did well at defensive end, without any doubts. And Peyton Manning’s high profiled offenses getting large leads helped significantly with those players developing and producing at an elite level.
