  1. I think that list shows that its still a 50/50 proposition no matter who and when a QB is taken in the draft. Going on past draft picks is only one way to evaluate the situation however. The draft room warriors need to toss all of the factors into their mental computer, IE:

    What is our current severity of need for said QB?

    How well does said QB fit our system?

    Are we going to use Said QB immediately?

    Who is the Agent for Said QB?

    How much is this likely to effect our cap space?

    Does this QB have the potential to make us contenders in the future?

    There is so much to sort, but I have began to believe in Barkley as well, so if they decide to trade down for an extra pick, and can still take Barkley, I wouldnt see much fault/risk in that.

  2. But you move a ton of muscles, tendons, ligaments, vascular and nerve tissue attached to the head and neck. Swinging a golf club is infinitely more strenuous on a body than throwing a football.

    The phrase was poorly chosen, as if to suggest golf is "easier" than football. Which it isn't. Some math nerds at Oxford proposed convincing probability logic that shows an athlete is more likely to win 3 Super Bowls than even one of the PGA Majors.

    We won't have an easy schedule. The record you finish with only affects 2 games.

    I believe its four since the Colts only have 3 other divisional teams. 6 divisional games. I could be wrong though, its happend many times. :)

    I think if the colts were to finish 8-8 or better next year with a healthy Peyton at the Helm, he is undeniably the MVP again, and its no longer an argument who the greatest QB of all time is......Good Lord I hope that doesnt spark an out of control debate!! :(

  3. Another thing about windsock Big mouth Dakich is he spent all Preseason talking about how Quality the Colts team is, filled with leaders, great run organization, the whole 9. Then once the losing started he completely changed his story to suit the needs of his crappy radio show. He spends the whole time talking about how great he is, and references his indiana, and andrean basketball days about 8 times per hour. His show is terrible. Cant wait for him to get canned so I can get some informed Colts radio.

  4. I'm not clear on how "ignore" works. If you have him on ignore, how did you know that he was posting annoying things here - just by seeing the responses to him I assume?

    The beauty is, you still know they posted something, and you can click on it to read it, but you can ignore also. I love it.
  5. Dakich knows NOTHING about Football. Zero, Nada, and every prediction he seems to make that is football related is wrong. Dude is an arrogant Jerk to boot. Hate the fact I even have to listen to that show to get Colts discussion at Lunch, as he is uber misinformed. No one is tanking, they just arent very good.

  6. Massive fail, if you think Drew Brees and Big Ben are scrambling quarterbacks, then your just clueless. I can run faster than both of those guys, just because Ben Rothlesburger can break tackles and rumble around doesn't make him a running quarterback... he's just good at extending plays. You just are not thinking, please start trying...

    We get it, you dont want luck. That's fine. If you believe I am not thinking, you are a clown, and welcome to my ignore list as you never have anything to add that is remotely correct.

  7. Look who's talking... you think Drew Brees is a scrambling quarterback... ha. Either your trolling or just not thinking before you type.

    You keep using the word "scrambler" , not me.

    Drew Brees is excellent at running for first downs and sliding out of the pocket and throwing on the run........you do watch football, right? You could be one of the most mis-informed argumentators I have ever seen. I saw a statisitic today that Luck, on designed rollout plays has a 75 percent completion percentage with 9 touchdowns.......that is very drew brees like. It doesnt make them "scramblers"(what are you, 80 years old? Scramblers??) it just means they are very good Running quarterbacks who are accurate on the run.

  8. Its so wierd....I keep seeing so many Correlations between Luck vs. Barkley and Manning vs. Leaf that I am starting to believe the Football gods are checking to see if we are paying attention.

    Manning vs. Leaf

    1. Leaf wins big games, Manning doesnt

    2. Leaf has a big time NFL arm, Manning doesnt

    3. Leaf has a higher potential in a Pro-style offense, Manning doesnt

    Luck vs. Barkely

    1. Barkley beat Oregon, Luck didnt

    2. Barkley throws a faster, tighter spiral, Luck doesnt

    3. Barkely plays in a more prostyle offense, Luck plays on a team that runs the ball

    If Manning vs. Leaf has taught us ANYTHING it should be that a bigger arm, and a higher possible ceiling shouldnt be the determining factors for choosing a quarterback. heck, I hardly see anyone bringing up that Barkley has Wide recievers who can fly all over the field, and Luck lost his speed guy, so all he has to throw to are solid TE's and possesion WR's. This is getting wierd.

  9. The last two games have not been Lucks best, but I watched both and I can tell you:

    A. The dude had zero offensive line protection in both games. The Line was solid at one point this year but they have played badly lately, and especially against Oregon, they couldnt block anyone.

    B. The defense wasnt looking good either, and Luck was, to his fault, trying to force things and do too much. He has to learn to let his team help him when they can, and trust his instincts to throw the ball away or run more when no one is open.

    Those observations of mine aside, I still believe he is the best QB prospect I have seen since Manning.

  10. You do realize that all of the best quarterbacks are passers, right, not scramblers? Running quarterbacks are overated and will continue to be. There's a reason that Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Tom Brady are probably the 3 best quarterbacks in the NFL. Not to mention all of the non athletic quarterbacks like Ben Rothlesburger, Matt Shaub, Matt Ryan who are all top NFL quarterbacks. You can name me one guy, Aaron Rodgers, and that's it...

    Fail, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Big Ben, they are all adept SCRAMBLERS and have all won super bowls(4 combined I think) to Manning and Bradys 4, so it would seem that the line is changing, as suggested.

  11. Yall are weird... evolution of the quarterback has got to be one of the weirdest things I have ever heard on this site. Just give me a quarterback who can throw the ball and move around in the pocket, who cares if he can run around or not. That will just increase his chance of injury.

    LOL

    Yes who cares.....apparently you dont, which is fine, but the rest of us care, NFL scouts care, Owners care, Coaches care, and even the players love a guy who can streak down the field for a first down when no one is open. You do realize someone is not open on every play in the NFL right? Unless that team is playing the Colts anyway....;)
