Better than him going to Houston and beating us for the next 4 years!
That would be great though! Don't you want Peyton to win?
-
How did SF treat Joe...how did GB treat Brett...how did NY treat Namith...its a business
Treating players like it's just a business is the quickest way to a downfall...
-
I would guess they feel that positions are open and players will come...
..we need receivers for Andrew Luck...certainly....
I cant believe Pierre Garcon wants to go
I can, why would Pierre Garcon want to stay with the colts? They aren't the team that they used to be.

Do I need to BOLD IMO? Why can't you believe what 2 men that stood in front of the entire sports world said? They made the decision together based on the circumstances. Believing the decision was all Irsay is just Manning bias and Irsay dislike. I have the guys rookie jersey autographed, displayed in a shadow box and mounted on my home office wall. He's never given me any reason to not take him at his word, and neither has Irsay frankly, so when they stand in front of millions of people with tears in their eyes telling us it was a tough decision they made together, I believe them. With that and the knowledge I get from following this team every single day from March 1984 to the present I gave, and duly noted, my opinion on what I wanted to deny to the last minute. He chose to leave the team in it's best long term interest, and now it's time to except it and move threads about a non Colts to the NFL general section of these forums.
You actually believe that Manning doesn't want to play for the colts if he had the choice all to himself?
-
It sures seems like several colt fans on here don't want Peyton Manning to go to Houston. Next to him staying with the colts, I think it would be great if he went to Houston. That would give him a great opportunity to win a Super Bowl or even more.

im oh so glad that we didnt take saffold, he sucked last year....i mean really sucked.
mjd bah addai was pretty good at first but OL and injuries have dereailed him. im 50 50 on that one.
mallet i agree.
I would absolutely rather have Drake Nevis in the 3rd round than Ryan Mallet.

I think polian had much logic to trade the pick for the bounty and get the second best QB with great future upside. Especially if he is going so sit on the bench.
I have never heard anyone mention that polian wasn't convinced in luck before.. Funny he had family who coached him, frequently went watched and scouted him and wasn't convinced...
That's why he is a hall of famer. Of course, you don't need much thought to see that keeping Peyton Manning and trading the #1 overall pick is better for the present and at least equal for the future for the colts.
I'm still hoping that the colts won't be dumb enough, disloyal enough, and disrespectful enough to not resign Peyton Manning... but we'll see. You just don't treat people that way, and add to the fact that that person is very good at what he does...
-
If the colts don't resign Peyton Manning, I hope he goes to the Texan's first or maybe the Ravens.
-
Well lets see.. With the exception of 2 or 3 players we have a crap Defense. We have a crap O line and if Saturday retires, we have an even more crap O line. If we keep Peyton we may be able to sign Saturday but have no cap room to do anything else for the next 2 years at least, so most likely we would have to let Mathis walk which make the D even more crap. Wayne is gone, Garson is most likely gone which makes our O even more crap. Peyton himself said that they both came to the same conclusion. Are you going to call Peyton a liar for saying what he said? Would you want to work under those types of circumstances? Would you want to work in a place where you are doing everything to keep things afloat? Seems like things are in pieces to me, and if you cant see that then that is your problem not mine.
And who was in control of player personnel? Polian! Irsay’s only mistake was trusting him to manage the business correctly.
So now I’m going to throw the ball back to your court. Why do you think my statement is dumb? You just blurted that out with nothing to back it up. And you think that he is going to rehire Peyton in a week? Really? Give me a reason why you think that will happen.
Convince me I’m wrong.
Our crap defense is 2-3 players from becoming a good defense. Our O-line is 1 OG from becoming a pretty good O-line if we resign Jeff Saturday which we would do if we brought Peyton Manning back. We have more cap space than you say, we can resign guys like Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon, Jeff Saturday, and are other key free agents. We can probably give Dwight Freeney an extension to get more cap space. We could also probably be able to restructure Dallas Clark to free up more cap space. We already resigned Robert Mathis to a pretty good deal. What do you expect Peyton to say? I think Jim Irsay is wrong and I should play for the colts next season and we should trade the #1 draft pick? That would just cause more drama which Peyton doesn't like to do.
I don't think the colts are dumb enough, disrespectful enough, and unloyal enough to not resign Peyton Manning, but we'll see.

Fx Stryker,
If you like Matt Barkley, you'll love Andrew Luck. He's just like Barkley, only bigger, stronger, faster, smarter, and did more with less.
Sure...
-
I thought we were the customers.
Why is it our job to support anyone?
It is their job to be supportable.
, so true... -
He's gone. I don't like it and do believe they could get back to the SB with him but he's gone and isn't coming back. They both want him to be a Colts but don't believe that it's in either of their best interests. They didn't tear up because this is how they wanted it to end. They teared up because they think this is what they have to do. They don't believe the Colts are going back to the SB in the few years Peyton has remaining, and they don't think it would be fair to Luck to make him sit if they aren't, IMO. Peyton wants to be a Colt, Irsay wants him to be a Colts, but neither believes it's in the best interest for anyone involved. If they thought together they were returning to the SB they would be together.
Do you have any proof that is what they believe? I still don't understand how you don't think Peyton doesn't think the colts can win a Super Bowl with him... he's already been to a Super Bowl with a lot of the guys on the roster. Add in trading the #1 pick and you have a pretty talented roster, maybe add a couple of cost effective free agents. Peyton wants to play for the colts. If it was his decision, he would be on the colts right now.

Curtis Painter winning 5 games? That can only happen in the Twlight Zone
You'd be surprised, right? You have to agree that our team was poorly prepared a lot last season and that we hardly ever made adjustments. Coaching is a big part of the game.
-
Why? You support the players and teams you like. If the colts don't resign Peyton Manning and the other quality veterans, then they are not the team that they used to be. Andrew Luck seems like a nice guy, but the colts don't seem like the kind of loyal, respectful, and morally strong organization that they used to be...
And by the way Andrew Luck is in college right now so...
-
So he's leaving a team he thinks can get to the Super Bowl. That makes sense, who wants to be on a team they believe can get to a Super Bowl?
Who said he's leaving? If Irsay wanted him on the team, he would be right now. Let's wait and see if he resigns with the colts. Your telling me that you don't think Peyton wants to play for the colts right now? Have you not listened to his bazillion comments about how he wants to stay in Indianapolis?
-
If your insinuating that the Polians didn't build the team that went 2-14 least year and secured the #1 pick then your just plain ole crazy.
If we had better coaching last year, we probably could have won at least 5 games. Jim Caldwell and Larry Coyer didn't do much to help the defense last season and Clyde Christensen didn't change the offense to help Curtis Painter or our other quarterback who played either.
-
The Colts need more than 2 or 3 players on defense and they need 2 OGs not to mention the need to upgrade the depth at most of the positions. That is going to take more than this years draft. Some of the vets are not as good as they used to be and the Colts should probably consider trading them if they still have good value.
I guess we disagree because Joe Ritz is at least average at LG. You don't have pro bowlers at every position you know. On defense, all we need is a CB, SS, and NT. That's 4 players, which is not very hard to get in one offseason. Just ask the Texans.
-
I have to agree 110% This is all the fault of the Polians
Haters gonna hate.

Fixed it for you.
Plenty of blame to go around. Blame both Irsay and Peyton for not believing this team could get to the Super Bowl again. Blame everyone involved at Peyton's last contract negotiations. Blame Dungy for taking advantage of Irsay's loyalty and asking him to hire Caldwell. Blame Greg Williams for encouraging his teams to take players out. Blame the doctors for poor management and timing in regards to Peyton's surgeries. Blame the lockout for the salary cap not increasing much more this year. I hope Mr. Irsay, Grigson and Pagano get it right when they place blame so it doesn't happen again with their new "franchise" player.
...Here, I'll make it easy for you... Read the bolded part of your comment above. You said "Blame both Irsay and Peyton for not believing this team could get to the Super Bowl again."
I said "Peyton believes the team can get to the Super Bowl again, otherwise, why would he want to remain a colt?"
-
The Colts are bereft of talent, the O line is not good on the inside and neither is the D line. They also need to upgrade the DBs and they lack considerable depth at most positions. IMO, that is a team that needs to rebuild.
If the veterans and key players are resigned, then this team is only a few players away from having a solid roster. We only need 2-3 players on defense and an OG on offense.
Shredding the roster and rebuilding is extremely dumb when you are close to having a team that can win a Super Bowl. Trade the #1 pick and sign a couple of free agents and we will have a very good team.
-
your reply makes no sense. try again
I suggest you try reading the post I replied to and then come back to me. I'm not going to explain it to you... you can easily find that out yourself...
-
For a rookie to get his feet wet behind center, it is always nice to have a veteran center that has been there, seen everything and done that, IMO.
I feel it might be an advantage for the Colts to at least re-sign Jeff Saturday for a year or two to help Luck, more than anyone else.
Thoughts???
Why on Earth would Jeff Saturday want to come back if Peyton Manning doesn't come back?
-
????
....
-
Show the proof that Luck is going to be the next Leaf - yeah, you got nothing. Manning is better off somewhere else with the rebuilding that this team is about to go through.
Why rebuild a team that doesn't need rebuilding?
, so true...

Nailed it on the head, I still don't understand how you root for a logo. I root for my favorite players because they've earned it.
The more and more cuts the colts make, the farther I am separated from the team. The colts don't seem to be the same team that they used to be, and they seem to be operated differently as well.
