    Thanks a lot Myles ....Yah  I think they lack the imagination, creativity or reading comprehension to understand that I said it was highly unlikely but totally possible. I have yet to hear one of the people who ridiculed this thread and myself for making it tell me why it’s impossible that luck didn’t do what I questioned. Also, we have arguably the best medical system in the world why did he go to Europe in the first place last year?  Also to those who say he was healthy therefore he wouldn’t need anything like hgh or stem cells, wasn’t the reason he didn’t have play preseason was his ankle?

     

          If it were me and  I was having health issues like an ankle that was bothering me and that may linger all year long unless I get surgery...and even if I elect not to get surgery I’m going to miss many weeks I would totally retire and use that time to take whatever science can make to heal me to make me come back better then ever the next year. This all hinges on if his leg really was jacked up like he said or was just using it as an excuse to think it over. I know this whole thing seems improbable and I admit it is but to the ones calling me an * I will ask you one question.  If A year ago I told you luck was going to retire a few weeks before this season you would of called me crazy and an *. My point is , crazier things have happened. 

  2. I know this post is going to catch tons of heat and I’m ok with that so here goes lol.  First of all I’m not a conspiracy guy but I think this is totally plausible yet highly unlikely.  Could luck have retired in order to maybe get off the drug testing pool and maybe get on some good stuff, maybe not unlike the stuff he got from Europe last time he was recovering........maybe some form of hgh, stem cell therapy or treatments not allowed by the nfl in order to heal completely and come back?  

      However in order for this entire scenario to be plausible which I reiterate probably isn’t, the nfl would have to take retired players out of their testing pool. Does anyone know the drug testing rules for retired players?? Also what are the rules for stem cell therapies?

       This type of stuff has happened in other sports before. Brock Lesnar used a Nevada State athletic commission loophole to compete completely juiced to the gills. 

     I’m not calling luck a cheater at all I’m just saying he could be using every tool to come back healthy for the first time since his career started in Indy.

  3. I’m probably wrong here but isn’t a 4-3 usually a zone defense?  Is there a difference between a cover 2 and a 4-3?  I’m just asking because I’m wondering if we could stick with the 4/3 and still plAy man. Sorry if this is a newbie question. My defensive knowledge is limited to say the least. 

  4. I didn’t mean to start a bash luck/bash brissett debate or a debate on who is better. I more or less meant to show people that brisett in his own way has been better than even I thought. I know the stats I posted aren’t everything but it’s at least a glance at a moment in time. If you just take these three games in comparison than yes it’s not really comparable because luck was coming off injury but I hope to update this as the season goes on just to show how things stacked up. Basically I’m trying to shine light on the inevitable conversation of “what if luck would have stayed?”  It would at least give us some insight and ability to compare the two as the season went on. Also I didn’t do it Because luck is the end all be all best Qb ever......that would be #18:) but I just wanted to put things in a little bit better perspective.   Hope this helps explain the point here and helps knock off some of the pointless arguing and nit picking. 

  5. Yah I know you can’t compare them one to one exactly but I think a lot of people either overated luck based on potential or under rate brissett because he wasn’t some stud prospect.  I hope as the season goes on we can bump this thread and update it so we can see how brissett compares to luck.  Obviously I would rather have luck but I don’t think he’s head and shoulders above brissett either. I can’t wait to see how the season plays out either way. 

  6. Some won’t like this thread believing that we must move on but I like to see how jacoby Compares to luck so we can truly gauge where this franchise is heading and where it’s been, and how good luck actually was. I don’t have a lot of time so It might be ugly and I’m prob going to miss a few things but here it goes and I hope either I or someone else keeps this updated. 

     

    2018 luck

    week 1 39-53 att, 74% 319 yards 2 td 1 int 93.2 rating 

    2.  21-31 att, 68% 179 yards 2td 2int 77.2 rating

    3 25- 40 att, 62% 164 yards 1td 0 int 79.6 rating

     

     

      brissett 2019

    Week 1. 21-27 att 78% 190 yards 2td 0 int 121 rating 

    week 2. 17-28 60% 146 yards 3td 1 int 95 rating 

    week 3. 28-37 76% 310 yards 2td 0 int 118 rating. 

     

     

    At this point luck had 5 td and 4 int where jacoby has 7td 1 int. I would def say so far and I stress SO FAR we look to be in very good hands if he can sustain this and the crazy thing is I think he will get better.

  7.   With all this seasons uncertainty and Andrew luck drama I think we are all (the team included unsure what this teams identity is, well at least I am. In years past we almost always had an identity well at least our good teams. So far it looks like we are average to good at both sides of the ball but not great either. I know it’s pretty early to predict but what kind of team identity do you guys see us establishing in the next few weeks??

  8. I know that emotions are high on here so I will keep that in mind but knowing what lucks career ended up being, did we make the right decision by letting manning go?

     

       Keep this in mind that I’m not talking about did we make the right choice then....but now with hindsight. I know that rationally it was the right choice to move on. We had a stud, “ once in a lifetime qb” fall into our laps but knowing what you know now, would you have let Peyton go when we could of won maybe one or two more sb with him and had him retire a colt and only colt? I’m interested in seeing what you guys think. 

  9. Three flight I disagree with 70% of what you said about luck but the sad thing is that I think the other 30%  is growing daily in my mind. It’s a scary thought but it’s not Too far off and I will be thinking exactly like you are.  Things would be so much simpler had the colts been honest about Manning’s neck and lucks  shoulder from the beginning.  Now when our franchise Qb is injured, we all don’t know what or who to believe.

    Edge's first 2 years in the league were the best by a running back in NFL history.  Amazing that he came back from that injury and still had 5 more 1,000 + rushing yard seasons.  Aside from being a great runner and receiver, he was widely considered one of (if not the) top pass blocking back in the league.

     

    He deserves HOF very soon.

     What do you meAn by his first two years were two of the best ever?  I’m literally asking not trying to doubt you. I’m not a big statistician so I’m kind of unaware where his first two years rate as far as two seasons for a running back. I know he was a beast. Can you clarify what you meant there. I’m genuinely curious and like I said I’m not doubting you or your opinion I just want to learn More about edge and where he ranks among the greats.  

  11. I got a question for those who are a bit more knowledgeable than me. I’m reading all these predictions but wondering how they stack up to avg rookie wr stats. How many td, yards, etc are considered elite for a rookie?  Also do you guys predict he will have a rookie year as good or Better than what TY had?????  Thanks. 

  12. My god he does have some long arms. My fav part was him talking about luck sAying “ leave that man alone” and saying how luck is dead serious and a different kind of person lol. He def looks to be having fun out there that’s for sure. If it’s true he wasn’t 100% out there last year the league better change the rules because it’s going to look like he’s playing with cheat codes out there. 

  13. Maybe it’s bias and because I mainly follow the colts but it seems that in many sports shows I hear them giving Ballard compliments and bringing him on the show. I can’t remember seeing other gms on tv and talked about as much as Ballard is except maybe BElichick. Is it just me or does the media love them some Ballard?

  14. Thanks for adding this. I love luck lol he is such a nerd. When he was telling his marriage joke he looked so awkward at the end of it. Just look at his eyes. He’s such a big imposing guy with the mind of a 120 lb nerd. I love that he’s our franchise qb. Give me a cerebral “smart” qb over a super athletic one any day of the week.

  15. Thanks for adding the video. Man he looks really good. I really like how he can line up anywhere and I really liked his angles on making tackles and how he didn’t over pursue. In the video he reminds me of a poor mans polomalu or however the heck you spell it, but that’s in college I’m hoping he plays just as well at the pro level.

  16. I know this is kind of random and probably not the most important thread on here but I was just wondering if mike Mitchell is still a colt or is he a free agent?  The webpage has him still on the depth chart but I dunno how up to date they are. 

      I know we can probably easily upgrade from him I just remember Quincy Wilson saying he was such a great mentor and basically saved his career. I think it would Be good to keep him for depth and to be a mentor to guys like Wilson. So is he still a colt and if not has anyone picked him up yet???  Thanks.
