Stroud was my QB1.
I came around on Richardson over Levis by draft day. Just didn't like Levis' personality. I was out on Bryce Young.
same here, but ballard must have liked ar the best or he would have went all out to move up. ballard knew more than i did about them and ar may turn out to be the best

So it is likely we will get our first look at some of the oline depth,
Hopefully Freeland has a good game, or we are gonna lose bad.
gonna need our tight ends this game too.
ballard said it is not about one player and he is confident about his backups or he would not have them on the roster

Since 2020, 12 TDs in 49 games.
He ranks well outside of the top 20 WRs in that category.
The 20th most by a wr over that time span, has 19 TDs.
Not even sure exactly where Pittman ranks in this category, this site only show top 25 for free, and 5 of those are TEs. With a 7 TD difference though, there are bound to be quite a few more WRs before Pittman gets on the board with his 12.
https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-td-receptions-since-2020
He needs to start scoring more TDs.
Chase has 22 TDs in 32 games for a reference.
Waddle has 14 in 35 games.
Kupp 25 in 41 games
Receptions are great, but there is a different being a #1 target on a team(23.3% of all target last year went his way, almost 1 in 4 passes), and being a true #1 WR. Of course he is going to have inflated reception stats, yep still didn't get 1,000yds.
Gotta get in the end zone more
And I'm well aware of the QB issues.
Even in his best "TD" season he only scored a TD once every 3 games, he averages one every 4 games for his career. Needs to step this up.
10.9 yards per catch isn't getting it done either.
ballard wont pay the money for elite super stars. pittman is our number one , ballard says it is not about one player

Was Jerry Rice a true #1? (4.71 40) Or did his QBs ( two Hall of famers) make him a true #1?
My point is, the title of " true #1receiver" is a subjective and a fictitious title.
the title given wrs number one or number two is something constructed by sports writers and fans.

Stafford has always thrown for a lot of yards. This season many have been in garbage time. That was like Stroud last week against us. People were saying I was dissing Stroud when I said Stroud did not play great, it was based on the Yards he threw for. Many of those yards were meaningless because we were way ahead and was playing prevent, You have to take that into account.
you are right , yards dont mean anything unless they lead to points. stats dont always translate into wins. stats are more important to fans and sports writers

Rams oline is trash. Colts have a pretty good pass rush. Colts 28 Rams 10
our o-line gave up 5 sacks against the ravens, 3 by an unblocked player, coaches should have had an answer for that after the first one. hope they get that fixed

Stafford is in his Matt Ryan stage right now, he looks done and a statue back there. Their O.Line is struggling, and we are sacking everyone. We even got to Lamar.
stafford is fourth in passing yards just behind herbert, he is dangerous deep

My first thought was, “ Is that Frodo Baggins at QB for the Panthers?”
That guy is the smallest QB that I have ever seen.
I mean no disrespect but “YIKES!”
Good luck, rookie!
no its tiny bryce

I worry that Lamar will throw all over this secondary like he did last time.
ballard must think our secondary is good or he would have picked different players to fill those positions

You all realize we're 7 1/2 pt. dogs
ballard must think his roster can go all the way, otherwise he would have acquired more elite talent

I am not one of them. This year is about AR progressing but having said that I hate losing. I will never have the mentality where losing doesn't matter. Some in here do, they do the same thing every year as in wanting a high draft pick and say losing doesn't matter after a few games. One can't have that mindset every single year - it gets you nowhere, if that was the case, they are ok if the Colts stink every year I guess. I also think we are far from the worse team in the league, we are better than the Texans, Pats, Jets without Rodgers, Broncos, Raiders, Panthers, Giants, Bears, Rams, and Cards. That is 10 teams right there I named that we are better than. So we won't be picking in the top 10 anyway.
every gm should have his roster built to have a chance to win it all each season. i dont believe in a rebuilding year, that is what the off season is for.

Definitely the Colts can win. The Ravens are beatable. I'm not very impressed with their roster. But will the Colts beat themselves?...is the better question.
i hope the colts play aggressive the whole game. if the coaches go conservative late in the game it will be hard to win

When Woods comes back from the PUP the Colts are looking at a TE log jam. Woods, MO, Granson, Andrew Ogletree and Mallory. I don’t think they’ll carry all 5. So who’s the odd man out. Also you can’t stash any of them on the PS they’ll get picked up quickly.
Me personally I’ll see if you could trade Mo. For me it’s the combination of Mo’s inconsistency and the upside of the other younger TEs.
none of them are elite as of now, but promising . what a good problem to have

Fries starting to play well and French looking ok. We might owe Ballard a apology. Lol
too early for that until we play some elite teams

since we lost our two starting corners during the off season i would have thought ballard would have made a deal to improve the position and not rely on below average talent

That 2 game sample puts Michael Pittman on pace to end the season with 136 catches and 1266.5 yards. I'll take it.
right now pitt is our best receiver, regardless if some on this board say that he is not a number one

After having elite QBs for decades, it has been only 4 years break and the QB looks promising, is this a curse?
Jets getting Rodgers and seeing him injured in first drive is being cursed.
Richardson got one concussion, and that's being cursed?
When you get Richardson as QB, you've got to make up your mind that his shelf life is not long, unless he becomes very good as a passer. And, he's doing very much fine being a passer as well.
This concussion is part of the learning process for him, and he'll get better. But, it's far from a curse.
ballard needs to get jt back to take the pressure off the run game

Well, he was the #2 pick in the draft and maybe should have gone 1st. Stroud will be good.
i said before stroud was the best passer in the draft and a quick release
