I happy looking at stats for players but some people seem to live by them. You could probably pick apart a stat for most players but in particular when a player has spent his career with mediocre talent around him I prefer to see what he's got in our uniform. And I believe Jacksons stats were better in previous years against the run too.

Without doubt an upgrade on what we had at a reasonable price I would think. Also provides leadership and could be a good mentor to McNary and his future development.

As usual this will most likely come down to the dollars attached to the deal and neither the Titans or Broncos have a huge amount to play with. The Dolphins do but with all their bad publicity lately it might put a few off who have options. If they really want him I think the Colts stand a good chance here.

The problem is not that we couldn't make an offer but there are 2 other problems.
1. The transition tag is 10 million. I believe we would have to make an offer in excess of 10 million. (Maybe I'm wrong.) The current highest paid center is making 8 million. Mack just isn't worth that much money.
2. The Browns are one of a few teams that have more cap space then we do. They can match easily any offer we make for Mack. Which means we would have to make an offer that the Browns are just not willing to pay.
Basically in order to get him we would have to pay him Franchise QB level money. He's just not worth that much. Besides there are other centers on the market that are options. They arn't as good as Mack but they would be vast improvements over Satele. And they won't cost nearly as much as Mack.
10 mill is a heck of a lot for a C yeah, but some people might say the ability the keep Luck upright and less harrassed might be priceless. At some put a C is gonna be paid that well. Personally I agree with the belief for now we can get a bit less of a quality C but for less money upgrading of Satele.

Can someone clear up the Mack situation for me in terms of it being said he's not an option now. I thought being transaction tagged meant another team could still give him an offer that the Browns had 5 days to match. Or is it not as clear cut as that?
-
But I believe he can start talking to other teams from the 8th. (I think! ).

I was watching the drafting of Luck again on YouTube recently and I feel its a good reminder of how far we've come. The telling comments from there were how the Colts weren't a very good football team, the offense resembled an expansion team, no TE to speak of, an 'aging' Reggie Wayne at WR, a LT and C and that's about it! In the grander scheme of things we've come along way.
-
Only thing I spotted quickly was you have Thornton as Centre when he's a guard and no Khald Holmes who is a centre. Good quick info to look through though, appreciated.
-
I noticed this too, had to have a little giggle. I think at times we were far too conservative in similar situations. But I think it's a trend that will continue.

Offensive- Lucks fumble recovery TD vs KC in playoff
Defensive- Mathis strip sack on Alex Smith vs KC in playoff. Momentum changer when we needed it.
Special team- Blocked punt vs Seattle.
Play- Lucks fumble recovery TD.
-
Mack all the way. Imagine what Luck and the offence could do with decent protection.
-
I think the only way we get Mack is to overpay for him. The Browns have a big salary cap space and will probably make him a big offer and I believe he's said that he will offer the Browns the chance to match any offer he gets.
-
1. Colts vs Chiefs
2. Seahawks vs 49ers
3. Eagles vs Saints

I would think the guy is concerned about losing a good payday too, I doubt he's going to walk into another starter role.
-
Any particular reason for this? (Quote above that is. Sorry my phone is trigger happy)
-
Well, the vast majority of young chinese that follow the game are colts fans. I should get a bonus from irsay.
-
I've no particular knowledge of the situation regarding talk amongst coaches of moving AC to the right side or when these conversations happened. But how does that then fit in the fact we went and made Cherilus one of the best paid RT out there?
-
You've got to wonder if thats been done before. Maybe if the Pats had of won the SB then we could have claimed bragging rights over number 2 spot in league by way of beating Bronos, 49ers and Seahawks in regular season ;-) I'll be rooting for Peyton and the Broncos as not only will Peyton win another deserved ring he'll also probably save Richard Shermans life as the guys head might explode fuelled by this mouth if the Seahawks win. Yeah you might be the 'best corner in the league' Sherman but Andrew and TY spent a game making you look average! :-) :-)
-
It would have been a hard call to say we beat the Pats and then Broncos and then either the 49ers or Seahawks. We showed we can beat anyone on our day but one of our biggest issues was consiatancy and that was needed to see it through to the end.

Well my story is a strange one I guess. I'm from England and used to watch the NFL on a highlights programme in the late 80's and early 90's as a kid. As you do when you're a kid you look for a reason to follow a team and at the time I had a passion for horse racing so I leant towards that theme. By coincidence around the same time I loved an American tv show called eerie Indiana. So the Colts seemed a perfect match. Must admit to losing track for a number of years as it was the days before the Internet or cable tv etc it made it so hard to keep in touch with anything across the Atlantic. But once I got back into the NFL as an adult I picked up where I left off with the colts.

Broncos and 49ers. Ironically enough at the start of the season I was going with the Pats and Seahawks.

So outside of Indianapolis being a connection why are you a fan of the Colts? Even more curious regarding fans outside of the States like myself. Apologies if there's been a thread already regarding this, feel free to direct me to it.

And he had enough options to suggest other teams saw value in recruiting him.
