If Andrew loved football enough he would have come back. He doesn’t and there’s nothing wrong with that. Water under the bridge. A lot of players have short careers due to injury. My only issue is everyone liking to pile on for “ruining” Andrew. No one ruined Andrew. The NFL is a hard hitting league, just ask Anthony.
I guess the Colts failed to protect AR last season. Shame on the Colts! If he retires early, it will be because of the Colts.
If only they had protected him.

What TY said was complete nonsense.

Yeah, the league just announced the home game attendance figures for the 2023 season. The Colts were ranked 2nd, at 103.6% of home game capacity. Behind the 49ers who had 104.9 %.
seems like attendance is definitely not a problem.
Wow, that's almost unbelievable. You'd figure there would be quite a few teams ahead of them considering how irrelevant we have been. And AR was injured all season.

I mostly agree, but different teams view QB differently. Take the Colts last year, if we take Ballard at his word, they felt Richardson was the best QB/player in the draft, and they were confident enough that he'd be available at #4 that they didn't move up. Richardson was the third QB off the board.
So if the Bears don't feel great about Williams -- and that's possible; I think his tape is undeniable, but it's possible that there's some intangibles that teams won't like -- and would rather have Maye or Daniels, for instance, then they can play this game. They could get the haul you're describing, and trade Justin Fields (some insider thinks they could get the Falcons pick at #8), and now the Bears are in position to still get their favorite QB, plus a bunch of extra picks.
I didn't include this possibility in the poll, just wanted to keep it simple because there are a ton of variables that get introduced. But if you can get that kind of haul for #1, you have to discuss it. If you're guy is Caleb Williams, no matter what, then take him. But if not, maybe do the trade.
Do you believe Ballard?

I’ve re-read your astounding post. Much more needs to be addressed.
I didn’t join the masses about Grigson because I had reached the same conclusion as they had. I wasn’t late to the party. I got off the Grigson train for entirely different reasons. I had to start defending Grigson in 2014. We had one fan who actually asked why the Colts hadn’t reached the SB after Luck had been our QB for two years. Seriously. And another fan was angry that Grigson traded day 3 picks to trade up for TY Hilton in 2012. And that might’ve been Grigson’s best trade.
After 2014, the Grigson haters wanted him fired. He had gone 11-5 three straight years and a round further in the playoffs each year. If you want to support those fans PLEASE, be my guest!
Here’s why I stopped supporting Grigson. See if you can spot the difference.
When the HATE between Grigson and Pagano became public, and Irsay brought in a marriage counselor to try to patch them up, that started it. When it became known that Grigson was ordering Pagano to play Trent Richardson so his trade wouldn’t look so bad, that hurt his cause. When it became known that Grigson squeezed Reggie Wayne on his 2012 contract, and that Reggie said he walked past Grigson in the hallways for years and Grigson never even talk to him, that hurt his cause, and when it became known that Grigson played hardball with Pat McAfee on his big second contract and that Irsay had to step in and order Grigson to sign McAfee, all of that became the final straw.
And not for nothing, but when he publicly blamed Andrew Luck’s upcoming big second contract as a reason he wasn’t going to be active in FA, he certainly looked unprofessional. With all that, Grigson had revealed himself to be a terrible GM not worth defending.These LJ, are legitimate professional reasons, and not an angry fan rant because we didn’t reach the Super Bowl in his first three years, or because the Colts went 8-8 in 2015. (Gasp!).
By the way, this community has a long history of reducing people they don’t like into one dimensional cartoon characters. But I can still give Grigson a compliment. In 2016, Grigson invested four draft picks, a 1, 3, 5, and 7 on the offensive line. And that’s because draft experts had been predicting that the 2017 OL draft class was going to be the worst — ever. Those four picks brought Kelly, Clark, Haeg and a smallish pocket center whose name escapes me. So even people who deserved to be fired are capable of doing good things.
Do you see the difference? When there were legit reasons to no longer support Grigson, I stopped supporting him. Why you think you know me well enough to understand my thinking is a mystery. But for some strange reason, you do.
This is pretty good post. There is wayyyyy too much Grigson hate from Colts fans.
Like you said, they talk about him like he is a one dimensional cartoon villain.
They highlight every negative, and ignore or write off every good thing he did. Or they'll even make up things like: "He never drafted O-line".
And if you defend him, they'll think You're saying he was a great GM.

I just don't only use League MVPs but it is a factor - huge difference. Of course overall wins which Peyton has 200 in his career and SB wins factor in as well, Peyton did win 2. Peyton also still holds the record for most Passing Yards and TDs in 1 season too, and he did it in a 16-game season. Mahomes has had 3 chances to break those records and has failed.
I think just using SB wins as the only measuring stick to rank QBs is a bit lame/shortsided thinking considering Doug Williams, Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, and Nick Foles have won 1 and QBs like Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, and Philip Rivers never even won 1.
Good point.

If Mahomes never played another game, he'd be viewed as the greatest flash in the pan talent ever seen. That's not the same as Mt Rushmore all-time great

Depends on the metrics. Mahomes is great, but has he revolutionized or changed the way the position is played? No I don’t think so. Mahomes can win 8 rings, but he hasn’t and won’t revolutionize the game. Manning didn’t beat you with physical traits, he beat you mentally. That takes more awareness and knowledge than most will ever have.
If the metric is revolutionary play, then he isn't better. But I'm not so sure that is the metric.

You mean in an era when playing QB/WR means you hardly get tackled? He is good, but i don't see him as one of the best, simply because they are playing a different game now, i think a fair question is how good would payton/Brady/Marino/Montana be in the modern NFL.
Nonsense. Brady and Peyton played half their careers in the same era.
-
I think he is already better than Peyton. I don't say that lightly.
There is no other QB who has came in to the league and performed like Mahomes; he is unmatched.

To each their own I guess. Personally I’m just not wishing for greatness/multiple super bowls on any other franchise. If the colts aren’t in it I’d like to see a team win the superbowl that’s never won it before.
I am indeed rooting for them. I follow the NFL, even more so now that the Colts have not been as good in recent times. Many other teams have been aot more exciting to watch than the Colts the last couple of seasons. I wish this wasn't the case, though. I like the Chiefs. I would NEVER want them to beats the Colts, but the Colts are at home for the tournament and have been for quite some time.
The Chiefs have probably the best QB I have ever seen. Can't help but root for him. The guy is amazing.
I like seeing greatness. I find it odd how many people are rooting against him and claiming any player in football is currently better than him.
Wish we had Mahomes.

How many Super Bowls would you like to see them win?
I know you were not talking to me, but they can win every Superbowl that we don't win.

The last time the Colts faced the 4 remaining playoff teams, the Colts won.

It’s new in that it’s official. But my understanding is that this was always the intention. The NFL wants reps from other cities to come to Indy to see how they do it. Give them a better idea of what will be involved if they decide to bid….Why do they want to move it?

Who gives a turkey what other teams fans think
Or just ignore those people. It’s literally that simple
I do. I don't always want to ignore everyone, though. Wish I didn't have to.
It's why I hardly ever go to the NFL subreddit any more.

Does it really matter what other fans have to say? Their opinions do not mean anything when it comes to the Colts.
Anyway, I don't think I will be swayed when it comes to this. So, let's agree to disagree.
Yes, as a fan, it matters when interacting with other NFL fans. It's not pleasant having others disparage your favorite team because of it's owners personal problems; he is insulted way too much to the point that it's maddening. The false narratives flow such as him being an impulsive and meddling owner when that's not true at all.

Plus, don’t forget that Luck put CB in an impossible situation and bought him a lifetime appointment as Colts GM. That’s among the greatest hits.
Lol a bit of hyperole, but, yeah, that is often brought up by Ballard fans.

Name me another GM in the history of the NFL who was fired and picked up immediately? With coaches it happens but I cannot recall it happening with a GM. When a GM is fired it is usually after he has been thru 2 coaches and he gets more of a leash than a coach. When a GM is fired there is suusally a long enuff tenure to show that he has failed. If Ballard got fired he would have a below 500 record, no titles and I cannot even recall playoff appearances but it is very few. Do u really think a GM with that resume is getting a 2nd chance if he is terminated? He deserved to get fired last year and I truly beleive the only reason he is still here because Irsay loves his personality and thinks one day he will become a GM if he is able to learn from his mistakes.
Lol what? Those were not necessarily my opinionS.
