  1. Dakich also says there is a large, and growing faction within the team that wants Gore released, so who knows......   I could kinda see it if they believe they are not going anywhere, let Frank go win in his twilight years..... and Start Turbin until Mack is ready

  2. Don't really take Dakich's sentiments on NFL too seriously as he seems much less connected in Football circles than he is in Basketball..... but he is "claiming"  on 1070 right now, that he has sources that say the Colts locker room is in shambles......  saying that Pagano bucking the initial Ballard requirement of a more physical camp, then bowing to Ballard demand for it, lost the Locker room and now the players see Pagano as sucking up to Ballard.....  

     

    There has long been a saying that you can come in hard as far as leadership positions go, and ease up over time, but you cannot come in easy, and get tough over time.......  Again, not sure how much I trust his "sources"  since he still today is kind of siding with Grigson, mentioning we'd all be "SHOCKED" if we knew how many of the crappy draft picks over the last few years were Chuck's picks.......  ( I wouldn't be, I can see Green, D'joun Smith, and Werner being Chuck guys easily )

    Huh?

     

    It makes no difference if the center is Ryan Kelly or some undrafted free agent?

     

    Is that what you meant to say?

     

    Really?        Seriously?

     

    I thought it was really clear what he meant.  He is saying the team will not hold Luck out if healthy and cleared to play, just because Ryan Kelly is hurt and out for a while.  That's what he posted anyway....

  4. I know cuts are coming up, and the team will probably add a C prospect from the pool of cut players..... but would Nick Mangold be an option on a 1 year deal?  It as said he was looking for a situation where he could walk in and start..... we seemingly could offer that for the short term, and likely for the season......  He's 33, what would it cost to bring him on board?

  5. Anyone else curious about this "30 something QB"  who wanted too much cash?  The fact that they didn't want to pay his price makes it seem like they are still at least semi-confident Luck is progressing well, and won't miss much, if any of the reg. season, but the fact they were close enough to bringing a guy in to discuss compensation, makes it seem like they have little, or at least, waning, faith in the non-Luck QB's on the roster.....

    We would be significant underdogs in that situation.

    Not really "significant"  Most oddsmakers have Indy as 4 point favorites with Luck, 3 point dogs without him....  and they give 3 points for home field, thus it seems with Luck Indy is favored by a good amount, and without him, it's a toss up.....

    I vehemently disagree with this statement.  Now if you want to say the Colts have a average shot at winning it all I may agree somewhat even though I give them close to no shot unless major injuries derail a few teams.  But honestly in the NFL if you don't have an above average QB or an all time historical defense you are not winning it all.  I believe you can prove that through data.  And every team can't have an above average QB or all time historic defense so it kills that point.

     

    My point is the Colts aren't close right now.  Could they go on a crazy hot run and get to the Superbowl?  Of course.  Is that likely staring at the likes of NE, KC, PIT and OAK?  No.

    The simple fact that you only have to win ONCE to advance in the NFL playoffs means a less than superior team has a greater chance of going to the Superbowl than a less talented NBA team of going to the finals by default.

    I'm with ya....

     

    I''m guessing that when they cut from 90-53 we're either going to claim someone as a free agent,  or will throw a mid-or late round pick at some team in a trade for someone....

     

    Hard for me to see the Colts starting the season with the corners we have on the roster right now...

     

    There has to be someone else....

     

    Not saying you are wrong, but I'm thinking Davis, Wilson, Melvin, Morris, Hairston, occasionally D butts, isn't too horrible.

    With his first name I sure hope he self identifies as a good running back

     

    I'm conservative as can be, but not sure the implied crack on transgender folks was necessary here......  that said, I really wanted the Colts to pick up Michael a few years ago when SEA had a crowded RB room, so, I'm excited to see if he can get on track here, and provide depth and a possible KR.

    I dont see why not. Still Aiken is no slouch either. I see a real competition brewing. Moncriefs #2 spot is certainly up for grabs as well. 

    Aiken's Career has been worse than Dorsett's at this point....  I mean, Aiken did alright in 2015, but Dorsett had a better year last year, and Aiken has done nothing before or since 2016 to give aby indication of being a threat to anyone's WR job.....  I hope he balls out, but he's not likely to....

    What about combining the Colts and the Browns?

     

    Gawd, that team is totally devoid of talent.

     

    We'd gain Myles Garrett, Jamie Collins, Danny Shelton, and Josh Gordon. That's about it.

    uh..... no.   You forgot Joe Hayden CB, Jason McCourty possibly, CB, Joel Bitonion, OL probably at least depth, JOE THOMAS, OL, KEVIN ZEITLER, OL, David Njoku, Jabrill Peppers, Deshone Kizer, Larry Ogunjobi would be young drafted shoe-ins.......  not a ton of talent, but they aren't devoid...... added to you Garrett, Collins, Shelton, Gordon.......  that'd be a great combined talent pool  OL would be great....
