Keep in mind, with drops, it has always been very subjective to whether it was a “drop” or not. Which is why the rates vary so much

From everything I’ve read about the kid, from coaches to fellow players, he does not sound like someone who is selfish, but a hard worker who’s willing to learn and take in improvement.
I think might really have something here. Looking forward to seeing him during training camp!
I still think it shows how much the Colts think his rumored issues actually are being overblown. Ballard went OFF in defense of this kid. That’s gonna mean a ton to most kids and make them give it their all

The only diabolical lie being told to women and girls is that they cannot do absolutely anything they want to do

Yeah.
I’ll say this though, while the words were more than cringe worthy, there’s far worse things happening to women, not just in this country but others where women have zero educational or professional opportunities. Which is disgusting if you ask me.
doesn’t dismiss or diminish what he said, just saying I hope we never have our daughters have to subjected to the type of things being done to the women of various populations.

I'll just say this, if there was a bet in Vegas that you could pick the last person to sign their rookie contract with the Colts this year, I'm sure AD Mitchell would have been far and away the favorite. He would have been my guess. He didn't show much emotion when we drafted him, and I'm guessing he's still upset he fell to the 2nd round. Hope he's not going to be petty and hold out.
Didn’t show much emotion?! Are you kidding me? That interview and initial reaction from him were amongst the most emotional of any pick this year.

I am buying his jersey. Good for him! This is what free speech is all about!!!!!!!!!!!
I do find it rather interesting that his jerseys are the highest selling jerseys since his speech. For whatever that is worth

You and I agree that all sides have a right to express themselves. However, many here who support Bukter say that he has the right to speak but and they think that others who disagree with Butker do not. Just read the comments here.
I don't think anyone here has threatened violence. Just check out the posts here.
There were some stuff on other sites, not this one. Especially the morning after. I was speaking from a high level general overview, not limited to this one site. Sorry for the confusion

Everyone has the right to say what they want, including Butker and those criticizing Butker. Those standing up for Butker and using the freedom of speech argument have yet to defend those critizing Butker, instead using name-calling to disparage them. Funny how some see only one side criticizing others for their beliefs. They do not see themselves as doing the same to those for their differing views. 🤷♀️
Using his platform, David Vedder of Pearl Jam used his freedom of speech to blast Harrison Butker. Like many of us here, he asked what does Butker's message have to do with graduation.

Just gonna say this once.
he had the right to say and think what he wants.
those that didn’t like it, or offended, are also well within their own rights to disagree with him and voice those disagreements
those that agree with him, are equally allowed to defend him and his statements.
where I draw the line is the threats of violence being posted everywhere from ALL sides. Or those advocating that the league ban him, cut him, fine him etc. While I do not agree with his comments or ideology, nothing he said warrants that kind of reaction.

If I were to guess, probably a clean up of debris or something non ligament tear related. I’ve got a similar problem with my knees going on after years of army abuse. Debris from accelerated wear gets in the joint and causes extreme pain. But it’s a 30 minute clean up surgery and a 6-8 week recovery to full
so let’s hope that’s all this was

In what way? As I said above, I’m not speaking about on the field. I’m speaking about in the locker room. The players personality, attitude, etc.i don’t even think he showboats lol. That’s not a slight btw.
Show boating doesn’t equal intensity. Nor does it equal greatness.

Latu for me. Mostly cause of his mannerisms and talent. If healthy, this guy could be great
Just now, smittywerb said:AD, not even because of what he can possibly do for this offense, but because of who he is.
hes going to bring attitude to this team. Going to bring character. We don’t really have any fiery guys on offense. Maybe Nelson, but he’s on the OL. The attitude that AD can bring to this offense could be infectious in a good way.
As a fan, I was getting tired of the “nice wholesome guys”. Let’s start getting some guys in here who want to beat the snot out of their opponent. Who will embarrass their assignment and talk trash to him.
Pittman is pretty intense.

Our beloved Greg Doyle has been suspended from the Star for comments and gestures made to Caitlin Clark… figured since so many loved his articles about the colts, it was worth pointing out

Its not about simply giving him 13 million and the cap is going up. Its a case of if you let him go, could you use that 13 million and get a better player at the same money and/or maybe a slight increase of say 15-17 million? I would rather save the 13 million and see what was out there and use it to sign a better player. Based on his previous production what would Paye demand on the open market? I say the Colts should let him find out. I don't expect him to all of a sudden turn it on and have say double digit sacks. He had really limited production coming out of college and that has really remained the same in his pro career. He is who he is at this time in his career. Honestly, with the addition of our 15th pick, Dayo and Ebukam, I actually expect Paye's stats to go down as I think they are better players and will see more snaps. I would be shocked if they are working on an extension. Plus, you don't draft a DE at 15 and then give Paye an extension. I said to the members on this board that when they went after Hunter, they were not happy with the pass rush and it was an indictment of Paye as a pass rusher. Nice guy, but just not the guy we hoped he would become.
Perhaps. But to me, as I said before, this gives us depth at Edge. Sure, he may not be as flashy as some like but what if one more of our DEs go down? This gives us some leeway plus gives competition to the room to push to starts. It’s a cheap option, and easily fixed.

Well, I'm a happy camper. For the first time in 8 drafts, we have what looks to be a near-elite QB, LT, and EDGE on board now than at anytime since. Sure things may not work out with individual players, but these are the best young prospects...taken with proper capital....that I can remember since we had an older Luck, AC, and Mathis.
And now the WR room also looks like it should, compared to what it looked like during the Rivers/Wentz/Ryan years. OMG.
As I said. I'm finally a happy camper in terms of structure. Now lets see the wins....and I'll have some patience since those guys are young.
This might be the second most shocking post on this entire forum. The more shocking thing is that both Doug and Moosejaw appear to be content with the draft this year!!!

Yes. Its amazing that anybody would think of the draft working any other way. Its even lucky to be sitting with the first pick when a generational QB declares for the NFL draft. Or unlucky...like Pitt...when you need a QB and the best option coming out that year is Kenny Pickett.
Polian used to say...even when picking late in the first round..."the draft fell exactly the way we expected it to". Always bluster, IMO.
Its like Poker. You can strategize all you want, but if the cards fall against you, you are not going to win. Nobody ever won a Table without luck working in their favor. Its about experience and luck. Genius or clairvoyance isn't part of it. IMO.
Agreed. But if we’re gonna say that a GM got lucky when a player becomes a star then I would say then when a GM has a pick bust; then it’s bad luck. It’s has to go both ways for this argument to be valid

And @Superman. When did I ever say that Ballard didn't have the player he selected as his BPA the time he selected him?
The luck comes into play when a talented player such as AM or Raimann falls and is your BPA when you're on the clock. Its not like Ballard knew they would be there, and finally pulled the trigger before one of the other 31 GMs caught on to what he knew all along. Ballard himself said he had no idea how this stuff plays out, and that he got lucky (that the guy he had as his BPA on the board was so talented). Me and Chris seem to see the draft working the same way I guess.
As far as Raimann, who appears to be a top 10 OT that was picked after a struggling AP and Woods...for whatever reason he was picked behind them.....the situation is no different than other players who turned out better than their draft slot would suggest: Polian got lucky that Mathis turned out to be the player he did. (He had no idea). NE with Brady. (had no idea) SF with Purdy. (had no idea). And Ballard with Raimann. Why would I choose to tell myself that Ballard's benefit from Raimann being a better player than he and every other 31 GM thought he would be (this early), is different than the luck Polian, BB, and Lynch benefitted from?
In the interview, Ballard is being candid. He is telling us that he (and other GMs) get lucky, when the convo is about specific players sometimes.
That same argument can be made about any draft picks. From the 1st guy off the board to the last. Even UDFA, for example look at Jeff Saturday.
there is a degree of luck to the draft. Absolutely. But there is also some skill involved and picking up on what traits increases the odds of the luck falling into your favor. Doesn’t mean it will of course.

This secondary (safeties) are cheeks. If we really role with them as the starters I will continue to question Ballard. Like Simmons Diggs grab someone please!!
It’s entirely possible that they have offers out to those guys and they’re just not signing yet hoping for camp injuries that will give the player more leverage for more money

He wears his emotions on his sleeves, so the media catching him at a raw moment, I can deal with that. Like his Texas coach said, if he keeps that chip on his shoulder and uses it to do great things, no one will care.
Ask Cowboys fans about Dez Bryant, ask Vikings fans about Randy Moss, ask 49ers and Eagles fans about TO, ask Bills fans about Stefon Diggs, these alphas may not be the most polished in hiding their emotions and frustrations but come game time, they come ready to ball. I hope AD is the same way, and that Reggie and the coaches get the most out of him.
For some reason, I really trust Reggie on this. Several WRs playing with us during and after the manning Era credited themselves adapting to being pros by watching Reggie.

Here’s a question, how much has Nelson had to help Raiman?
