    Hopefully that clears the situation up for everyone.......for every other QB since he retired it must have been like going out with someone who's constantly wondering if their ex will come back to them and struggling to live up to expectations lol

    Wonder what they would do with Richardson if Luck wanted to come back and play lol.

    A question for you guys. Do you hate us as much as your AFC rivals? What do you guys think of the Colts FA so far? We play in Lambeau this next season. I’m not sure how next season will go for us. You guys always compete no matter who is behind center in Indy.

    Packers are in the NFC, so we barely play you guys. We also have not lost to you guys since 2008. No hate from us.

    Just to help explain my thinking, the OP has not been back to the thread since posting it. He farted in a crowded room and walked out. And that's his pattern.

     

    He's repeated this 'you guys are crazy for thinking Richardson can be good' multiple times, and never engages with any of the replies.

     

    He also has posted similar opinions in previous years on other QBs, including his version of calling out people who see it differently. And an element of good faith posting is simply acknowledging when you've been wrong, but he's never done that either.

     

    This is trollish posting behavior, IMO. And the response to this thread is an acknowledgment of this pattern of behavior.

    Fair enough. I can see where you're coming from; maybe he is, indeed, a small troll.

    Are you just playing devil's advocate here? The OP has a history. You could check it out if you wanted.

     

    There's been plenty of genuine discourse about Richardson since he was drafted. That's not what this thread is about.

    It looks like he has had 3 threads over the season. One in August and two in October. Now one in the offseason. Not enough to consider him a troll in my book. You can consider him whatever you'd like. I don't recall him popping up in every thread crapping on Richardson constantly or making a thread every week. 

     

    In my opinion, it isn't frequent enough or over the top enough. Your mileage seems to vary. That's fine. 

     

    The post actually did spark some genuine discourse from a hand full of posters. It's just an unpopular opinion, so not many are willng to engage in that sort of discourse. 

     

     

    The guy has been a member of the forum since 2013. He didn't just create an account when Richardson was drafted to crap on him.

    It’s not not liking AR that makes him a troll.  It’s only posting basically the same rant about four times now as Superman showed earlier in the thread and then not engaging in conversation with anyone or talking about anything else.  
     

    if he just didn’t like AR that would be fine.  People don’t like people who are part of the Colts all the time, I mean we have a Ballard grievance thread pinned to the top of the board for crying out loud.  
     

    It’s only posting one thing just to get people riled up and doing it multiple times with no intent of having a conversation about it or anything else for that matter.  That’s the very definition of trolling.  

    But if he was trolling, wouldn't he continue to engage and troll? 

     

    Maybe it's just his catharsis. 

     

    It's also difficult to engage with people who have pitchforks at your head.

    Right. Not liking AR doesn't necessarily mean he's trolling. It's a slippery slope to consider an unpopular opinion as trolling, as long they aren't spamming discussion threads with comments or the home page with a bunch of posts they created. If it's just a few posts/comments here and there, it's easy to just ignore and move on (which is always the best thing to do when it looks like trolling anyways). I also think some people use this forum (and others) like a soap box, not because they want to engage in discourse. 

     

    Yeah, sometimes you just have to let it all out here due to limited outlets. 

     

    To be fair, not many people in the thread were open to discourse as opposed to just responding with dismissive and mocking memes.

  7. I'm surprised the Browns didn't re-sign him. 

     

    If Richardson gets injured again, no way we get a top draft pick. Flacoo will keep us in the middle.

     

    Great back up signing.

    He’s made the same long thread four times (I believe @Superman posted links to each of them earlier in this thread) and doesn’t respond to anyone once he post it.  He also doesn’t post about anything else.  That’s pretty much the very definition of a troll, throwing out something you know others won’t like to try to get a reaction.

    Click on his name,   read his posts.   

     

     

    I feel like he needs to do it more often to be considered a troll. That's just me, though. I wouldn't expect him to respond due to the immense backlash from bmthe sentiment of not liking Richardson. 

     

     

    I looked at his profile briefly. I saw only one other thread about Richardson. Maybe I missed more. 

     

    He just isn't over the top enough for me nor does he do it frequently enough. Although the comments about Minshew are really hard to take seriously.

    Mystery team lol

    Why would we start a whole thread about 1 person? Can just talk about them in here so much easier?

    I get a lot of my news from this site by reading the new thread titles. 

    Had no clue about Minshew and Moss leaving. Instead it's jumbled in to a pile of free agent rumors and everything related free agency; It's ridiculous. They deserve their own thread. 

     

    A "free agent rumors" thread makes sense and also specific news worthy threads of individual players, such as Pitman  (which ther eis) and Moore being re-signed.

    He wouldn’t help make the Colts a contender? Like at all?  I would say he puts us closer to contenders at the very least?

    People are just coping with the fact that we more than likely won't be in position to draft him.

    As a grown person, booing is childish behavior.   You are literally booing a person you paid to see play.  Whether it's a home or away player.  My goodness,  I would hope your life was better than caring that much.   I've never booed in my life.   I'm there to have fun.   But you do you

    They're called fanatics for a reason.

    Really… millionaires whining about the team not providing them free daycare and a spa?! For real? Very few employers provide that and these guys make PLENTY to cover daycare on game days. 
     

    yeah, the culture of entitlement is upon the colts locker room. At this point, cut or trade  everyone not taken in last years draft and start over.

     

    ”lack of daycare of game days” what a joke

    Yeah, same thoughts I had about day care. They're so rich, I'm sure they can afford it.

    Not short-changing the team. But that run wasn’t the result of Manning beating really good defenses (outside of 2H of AFCCG). He had 3 TDs and 7 INTs in 4 games with a 71 passer rating. In the first two games, he had 1 TD and 5 INTs. If any QB today did that, their team is not 2-0 after two games.

     

    The Colts defense stepped up and shut down teams and the run game was very effective. And a large reason the defense was able to do that is because they got back Bob, but also because of their offensive opponents. 
     

    Winning the SB is never “easy,” so I take back the use of that word. But the path was advantageous that year. Even NE wasn’t even that strong. Colts had beat them earlier in the year. And they somehow managed to knock off a 14-win SD team, who was the best team in the NFL and a team Manning was 1-5 against (including two playoff games) from 2005-2010.

    Funny enough, the Chargers three losses that year came from the Chiefs, Ravens and Patriots. Colts path to the Superbowl.

    Notice the Pats aren't on here at all. They were the reason most of the teams on this list are on the list. They had to beat the Pats in those years, and the Pats didn't have to beat themselves. The Colts in 2006 as the big example for us. We had to beat them in the AFC title game. That was harder than the SB Vs the Bears.

    True. But New England is on the list. Click the link. They are on the list twice right below the Colts. 2004 and 2018. I'm sure the Colts contributed to their difficulty in 2004. 

     

    Baltimore and the Bears were really good that year too.

    Ravens, Bears and Patriots were the Top 3 Ds in the ENTIRE league in 2006. Let us not shortchange Peyton's only SB as a Colt.

    I agree with Mahomes' SB argument but it was not an easy path, the Colts path to our only SB under Peyton.

     

    Exactly! 

     

    He didn't have an easy path at all.

    When the Colts won the SB, Manning had to beat Trent Green, a 33 year-old Steve McNair and a Rex Grossman. Other than the AFFCG against Brady, it was a very easy path.

     

    This year, with what was suppose to be the weakest KC team yet, Mahomes had to beat Tua, Allen, Lamar and Purdy. All top 7 QBs this year in EPA. 

     

    Yes, the defense helped him, but I just don't know what else he can do. By metrics and possibly record, he's on pace to be the best regular season and playoff QB that ever played. 

     

    I love Peyton, but the only real argument left for Mahomes is will he surpass Brady as the greatest QB. 

    Dvoa says otherwise:

    When we were 1st and goal vs the Chargers, I thought for sure Manning would come through. He played the regular season games knowing it wasn't the end of it all but couldn't carry it over to the postseason whatsoever. The goal for every QB and team is to win championships, and he was a part of those failures too, though each game had its own losers.

     

    But then, he was OURS, the one that put us on the map as the Colts franchise, the darling of the city, and could do no wrong. It is like comparing your dear son to someone else's and people have a hard time being objective about it. As far as the clutch gene, it is very very hard to disagree as to how it plays in favor of Brady, Montana and Mahomes.

    Yeah Manning is my personal favorite football player. He is the reason I am a fan of football at all. I dearly miss that era. But watching this current KC team and Brady's late run highlighted how unclutch Manning was. 

     

    Yea, I truly thought the Colts would beat the 07 Chargers. Manning also had a lot of bad luck that game. Kenton Keith fumbled near the goal line, and Harrison also fumbled after trying to run after the catch (something he seldomly did) while they were driving down the field. At the end though, Manning had a chance to win, but failed. Not clutch.

  17. Mahomes has the stats and he is also extremely clutch in the playoffs, something that Manning lacked through most of his career. Here are some of the moments I remember Manning being in position to win and coming up short.

     

    1.  Colts vs Patriots 2003 AFC Championship Game

    Down 7 with 2 minutes to go. Manning goes 3 and out

     

     

    The next year Manning is held to a paltry 3 points and loses to the Patriots AGAIN.

     

    2. Colts vs Steelers 2005 Divisional Round.

    Colts are down 3 with 2:32 left to go and they go 3 and out

     

     

    and of course after Bettis fumble he gets another chance and fails to get a touchdown or move closer for the field goal after completing one pass, but they of course were already in field goal range and Vanderjagt shanked it :(

     

     

     

     

    Colts vs Chargers 2007 Divisional Round

    https://youtu.be/ZbCMf68mH34?si=HB94L3W4_4uYTuJT&t=7828

    Manning was down 4 and needed a touchdown to win. I always wanted to see them face New England again. I think they coud have won. Such  travesty

     

    Colts vs chargers 2008 Wildcard round

    All Manning had to do was convert the 3rd down and they likely win the game. No dice :(

     

     

     

    2009 Superbowl: Colts vs Saints

    down 7, the Manning is driving down the field and he goes to the same well one too many times and gets picked off.

     

    https://youtu.be/31mh9IGFAAo?si=8OHOsp01cvaeFIgq&t=5370

     

     

    In most of these games the defense had done enough to win and Peyton simply was not clutch, unlike what we have seen from Mahomes.

    I disagree, I will take Peyton all day. I will give you Mahomes. Peyton would of won 3 or 4 if he had the defenses Mahomes has had or Brady had. 49ers did so many dumb things tonight, they gave the game away. They even missed an extra point Homer Simpson Laughing GIF by FOX TV

    Is Peyton scoring that touchdown in overtime? 

     

    Saw too many times Peyton folded in those moments in the playoffs.

    Maybe San Fran is just good enough to be second We had Brady and the Pats 9ers  at least get to the big game and face their nemesis KC

    Congrats to ur KC team 

    I bleed blue, but I sure do like the Chiefs! If the Colts can't win it (and who knows if they ever will again in my life time), the Chiefs can win it every year in the Mahomes and Reid era.
