@Nevbot Great story. I have a Masters and Manning story but sadly they are not related. Been to Augusta National twice - both on the Wednesday practice round. It is a magical place. Not a single blade of grass out of place. First time it was in 2001 when Tiger completed his Tiger Slam. On Manning - my wife works for Ascension and won two seats for us at the fundraising dinner he does for his children’s hospital. This was the end of February just before Covid hit. We got to take a photo with him but it was with another couple we did not know. Thank goodness for photoshop.

I am pretty sure recent releases have been after the draft.

I am sure they will draft at least one DB and probably use a high pick to do so. I also just think Ballard has core beliefs, most notably is that the lines must be high level. Another core belief is the development of young players. Maybe just consider the possibility that Brents and Jones might be better players in year 2. A common theme this off season is that the Colts have not gotten better and others have because they signed a bunch of free agents. It is very possible that some year 2 and 3 guys become much better players.

Do you honestly Ballard cares at all about what Blackmon did with his social media profile?

My bad. I did not read your note clearly enough. My reading comprehension is not in mid season form yet.

Why don’t you want Thomas?

Mitchell to me and it’s not really close. Several things I’ve heard lately really resonated with me. 1) Venturi talking about the need for an outside the number playmaker - that is not Bowers. 2) Venturi raving about Mitchell 3) I’ve also read about scouts wondering about size and strength of Bowers. 4) I think more highly about the Colts current TE roster than most. I could be wrong but this but to me the decision is easy.

Clear and obvious answer - Anthony Richardson.

I believe we should listen to Ballard when he said likes his young secondary players. That to me means it is extremely unlikely they would invest 3 picks in the defensive backfield.

Bad on my part. Apologies.

I think you need something else to lean on besides the Colts. They appear to make you extraordinarily miserable. Take up gardening, get a dog, go to the beach - do something, anything to get some tranquility in your life. It is sorely needed.

A truer gif has never been created.

Agree with you on this. To me Sneed or Hunter were the only, significant needle movers. But even then I am not sure those moves by themselves would have made the Colts better because both would have forced Indy to not resign some of their own key players. And Sneed would have cost draft capital as well.

Well there is the draft. And there is the potential that Richardson is who they thought, which if it turns out to be true, will make them better. And free agency is not over. On the flip side, are we sure that the teams that signed all those free agents are better than they were last year? Not trying to battle with you here - but the roster building is not done yet.

Do they play tomorrow?

Something about a pot and kettle feels appropriate here.

And there is the waffle

Or it could not, which the far, far, far more likely result.

1) Free Agency isn’t over yet 2) The draft has not happened yet 3) I’d bet an awful lot of money that once they do sign and / or draft DB or two, you will be on here chastising people for not waiting on the process to play out as I’ve never seen someone argue both sides of something as you do, often within the same thread.

For the love of all that Holy… In other words, Dear God We are less than 48 hours into the new league year. There is still a wee bit of time to add to the position group.

I am 56. We got a very late start on becoming parents with an 8 and 10 year old. But it is glorious that we can go to bed the same time as our kids at 8:30.

Thanks. I honestly did not know that. I am old.

Ha. My phone is well past time for an upgrade and I am waiting as long as possible to make a change for precisely the password reason.

What exactly is Tannehill going to prove at this point?

That is 100% backwards. Kenny Moore is not the domino to fall that they are waiting on.
