They were in different drafts but Dorsett made many people upset in 2015. I was not here in 2013; so, I did not see the fans' reaction to not selecting Rhodes but I recall the fans' reaction to Dorsett. I did not understand the pick. Grigson is now working for the Vikings. Last year we selected a WR that I thought we did not need while passing on other guys we liked better. I swore that it was Grigson that made the pick.
-
I agree. I cannot recall who else he drafted in 2015 but I could not understand why he drafted the WR out of Miami at #29 that year.
-
That is the approach to building a team that I prefer. I never saw Grigson as following that approach. He seemed to sign many free agents that did not work. But Ballard does follow that approach, almost to a fault.

It seems that folks should lay off of all these insiders. They are sharing information as they hear them. I believe folks here became upset with Destin, not because of what he did or said, but because other insiders were criticized and disparaged for sharing news that was opposite of what Destin had reported. We all have insiders that we prefer. I personally like Tom Pelissero, but I'm sure he has made mistakes too. Let's just give all of them a break. Without them, it would take a lot longer for us fans to learn about news involving our favorite teams.

Colts Rivals + Steelers Heartbreak (brought over from Colts news thread)
NFLfan replied to jvan1973's topic in Colts Football
Yep, that was the FG kicker. He had not missed any FG attempts that year until that one. -

I'm a few years older than you. I remember Harbaugh beating the Chiefs. I don't recall the Pittsburgh game. The ending sounds gut-wrenching. One game I recall that must bring flashbacks to Titans/Oilers fans was that Super Bowl game that they almost won. They were stopped on the one-yard line. The name Mike Jones comes to mind. I think he made the stop. Was that against the Mike Martz Rams? That Vikings loss to Atlanta after the great 1998 season made me numb for a day or two. How does a kicker miss a kick in such an important game after not missing a kick all year. SMH. -

Thanks. Mike Tomzack. I remember him. He was pretty bad, IIRC. Was he before or after Neil O'Donnell?? I think O'Donnell was better. They had many mediocre QBs before Ben Roethlisberger. Kordell Stewart, Charlie Batch, I think. I can't recall the others from the 90s before Ben. -
How many QBs do the Browns have now?!!!

I took a screenshot of the Rickey post but only after it was noted as "not found". Let's see if I can find it.

I agree. Classy post by Fields: -
Back to free agency: What is wrong with CB Xavien Howard? Are Colts fans interested? Are you all looking to bring back Julian Blackmon, Danny Painter or other Colts free agent. What happened to Taven Bryan?
-
You may be right. The waiting is anxiety-producing for diehard fans.

Sorry. Don't get down. You have a new year of football to look forward to. Any free agents you want? Any positions you want to address before the draft? -

What a memory! I'm glad you experienced the joy from the 2006 Super Bowl win. Back to free agency 2024. -

I remember that. That was upsetting. You guys upset the Chiefs, I think. I think I still remember the look on Schottenheimer's face. Wow, that was in 1995?? Time flies. -

Is that the year that Jim Harbaugh beat a Marty Schottenheimer coached team? If so, I remember it well. Like @2006Coltsbestever 's mom, I liked the QB. Lol. I was rooting for that QB. -

Which game was that? Who was the head coach of the Colts then? Who was the QB? Anyone I may remember? I think I remember the Colts back to Ted Marchibroda and L. Infante (Lindy?). I became a fan of the NFL in the early 90s but I do not remember the Colts/Steelers game of 1995. -

I was reading Windy City Gridiron. It seems like a lot of fans believed that the organization failed Fields. I agree. It shows you how poorly they thought of him, trading him for a day 3 pick. SMH. Two of my nephews were born in Chicago and are adults now (one in college). They grew up Bears fans as kids. I plan to call them later to see what their thoughts are. -

It defies logic. I keep saying to myself that there must be more to this. -

That is nuts. There must be a reason why they felt compelled to trade Fields now. They got so little on return. Yeah. That is nothing. -

I agree. Getting only a third round pick for Fields is absolutely crazy. I would not be happy if I were a Bears fan. As @stitches wrote in the Colts FA thread, teams have traded players with less talent and less potential and received a lot more in return. There was no reason to trade Fields now. There must be more to this.
