Do you think he does not know that the NFL has a salary cap?

1) I am surprised you thought that thread belonged on the Colts page. 2) It did not slip by the masses here considering there is already a 3 page thread going on the topic. 3) Did you pull a muscle contorting yourself to pin his backing out on the Colts to Ballard? Or patting yourself on the back that this somehow fits your distorted narrative? The McDaniels / Colts thing is infinitely more on McDaniels than anyone else. Plenty of reasons to question Ballard - this ain’t one of them.

I am expecting to hear that 2nd rounder for Minshew announced any minute now.

Nope. That still does not mask the stink. I don’t think they should tank this current season let alone a season a year from now. Why can’t players and the team develop while winning?

I’ve tried to think of the proper responses to this post and the best I come up with is just… Dear God

I remember when Bradley was the HC in Jacksonville and Rick Venturi talked them about his scheme being a high school scheme.

There is a fallacy in that argument - they have not done it before so they won’t do it now. Don’t buy it. If the right corner is there at 1, they would make the pick.

A fourth for him is a pipe dream too - no chance. Which of his 10 turnovers in the last 3 games would have a team saying, “this is the guy to lead us the rest of the way!”

I do. I know. No one will trade for Minshew and damn sure won’t give up a day two pick to do so.

Do you honestly believe a team would give up a day 2 pick for Minshew? Honestly? Hint - no team would make that offer.

There is literally zero chance the Colts make an in-season move and trade next year’s first round pick. What if they loose the rest of their games and are somehow in line for a top 3 pick? Now you given a way the chance to take a true difference maker who would be on their rookie contract for 5 years for Surtain? That would be an offense that gets you fired. Man, 8 years into the Ballard admin, you’d think a better understanding of how he works would have taken place by now.

No

There were two times in my life as a Colt fan where I was hopeful for a Colts loss. In 2011 in the last game of the year against the Jags. And the. Last year against the Texans. All other games I want them to win.

No, not really.

Patiently waiting for when the team says “yeah the Doc really screwed up that surgery. Player X probably never sees the field again.”

1) There is not a league wide conspiracy that favors certain teams. 2) Adam Archuleta does not hate the Colts and is not always negative against them. Your thoughts here probably belong in the post game thread as they are not novel enough for their own thread.

I think that is largely because Miami has committed more penalties thank the Eagles.

This getting old crap sucks. Hope your good day turns into several in a row.

What’s causing the lack of sleep?

Yes - you are correct. You missed the joke. Jeudy is a late round trade at best and I’d be shocked if they did that. In fact in the trade deadline thread, I said the chances the Colts trade for anyone is slim to none. I don’t see that it makes sense on several fronts.

Pretty sure it will be a # 1 in 2024 and day two pick in 2025 in exchange for Jeudy. Seems fair

I think there is a less than zero chance they trade for anyone.

What would be a decent pick?

1) Everyone who gets busted for PEDs swears they did not know whatever they took was banned. 2) The NFLPA may take up the case but they are fighting a losing battle and they know it. When was the last time there was a successful PED suspension overturned? Stewart is gone for 6 games and the likelihood of that changing is extremely low.

Meanwhile back on planet earth.
