He may be. Still too early.

They should just stop running the ball.

Great perspective.

Felt like the Colts were back for a second.

That's absolutely my hope, assuming Richardson works out.

Things would be interesting if the Colts got the first round pick after this season.

I guess. Always thought Cams game was underwhelming. Also, just for clarification, I don't don't mean "depressed" literally, just figuratively; its just a bummer. This stuff is just entertainment to me, and IF a Newton-like QB is featured in this next Colts chapter then that's a bit underwhelming after what I have witnessed. I guess you liked Newtons play. Also, If Luck's team had the best record in the league, I'm sure he could have won MVP in '14 or '18. Cam went to the Super Bowl when he had one of the very top defenses that season. It was about on par with Denver's, iirc. If the NFL has, indeed, changed in the sense that the likely hood of QBs passing at a high level through coaching has increased, we may not be just looking at the beginning of a mere mediocre passer ala Cam Newton, but another Allen.

Who would not want that? People who are used to watching Manning, then Luck: QBs that excelled at passing, which is the backbone to sustained success in the league. So anyone who values elite passing and desires sustained success. Surprised to get such a sarcastic and contextless response from you.

Kind of depressing that we likely have a Cam Newton-like QB.

I'd probably trade every draft pick from 2020 until now to get an elite QB.

But they got poorer in character, which is what really counts.

Can't wait until we find our next QB, so this will stop.

You mean Andy reid?

As a Jeep owner, I would definitely get a Bronco over a Colt too. Lol

Rare these days. He is Mr. Bronco. Probably drives a Ford Bronco, too.

Isnt there another preseason game?

Wayyyy too soon.

How were they meaningless games? If I recall, he didn't play late in the season when the Colts were eliminated.

Lol all good.

Yeah, kind of, that's why it's a red herring. Just annoying when people do that.

Unfortunate that you fell for that red herring. Derailing this thread.

You are absolutely digressing; that's a whole different conversation and an annoying red herring that I have no interest in touching. The amount the owners make have nothing to do with the subject; it's completely irrelevant because of the salary cap; there is only so much money to go around. Like I said, fans are interested in seeing their team win the Superbowl and Taylor's shenanigans are a road block to that goal. Running backs doing a complete 180 by completely switching up their stance and asking for large and ridiculous amounts of money after a down season while still on a rookie contract isn't going to get much sympathy. 1. Taylor is a good RB, and now we might potentially lose him, which isn't good news. Fans are upset about that. And the relationship might not be salvageable. 2. If we want to keep him, it looks like we might have to pay premium money for a non premium position, which means less money for more valuable positions. I don't understand why you find the backlash so perplexing that no one is talking about the owners paychecks. The owners paychecks have nothing to with conversation. If owners split the money 50/50 with the owners (or even gave the players more than themselves), Taylor would still be trying to get his perceived rightful piece of the pie, whether the preceived warranted salary is 20 million or 100 million; that's why it's not about taking care of his family, it's about how much money he thinks he deserves, whether that be pride, the love of money, or principle – why he wants the money is irrelevant though.

No one is saying they don't deserves millions, clearly the NFL brings in that type of money. What people are saying is that one doesn't need 20 million as opposed to 5 million to take care of their family. Also, fans want to win! JT making 16-20 million doesn't exactly put the Colts in a better position to win considering he plays RB. We understand they want more money (sometimes it is absolutely warranted), just don't pee on us and say it's rain. I want more money all the time when I don't necessarily need it, so I get it.

Which is an absolutely reasonable stance taken by the Colts. I think it's pretty ridiculous to ask for a raise after a season of not producing. He was not an all pro last year. Some act like the 2022 season didn't exist. This team and it's players these days make it hard be a fan of them. They don't win very much anymore and they pull shenanigans like this, talk politics or go on Twitter berating fans. Quite tired of it. I can not trust JT's goodie-good act anymore, which is apparently exactly that, an act. Also to all the people talking about JT being the Colts best offensive player, if that is true, you got serious problems on offense if your running back is your best player. I think a high priced running back should be a luxury. Also, some people are exclusively blaming the agent for this whole ordeal as if he just forced himself to represent JT without JT's consent. JT hired this man on his volition. I think I'm indifferent to what happens with JT, but eagerly waiting to see how it unfolds.
