  1. This Sneed thing was quite the doozy. At one point I’m sure the far majority of us thought he was a Colt. I expect a couple guys to be signed to the secondary at 1-2yr contracts and we go BPA at CB, WR and Edge in the first two rounds of the draft.
  2. He made Matt Gay the 2nd highest behind the GOAT Tucker. I believe Leonard was the highest paid LB. JT is 3rd highest rb. There is a history of paying to dollar from Ballard. I’m with you, it is t a stretch to go 23m for the top CB. It’s all if Ballard sees his value at that. Time will tell.
  3. How in the world did we get on that depressing 1995 AFC championship game?!? Btw, I was 12 and watched it with both my brothers in the living room. When they called the Hail Mary incomplete we erupted and were yelling at the TV. My dad thought we were fighting and came in yelling at us and shut off the TV and sent us to our rooms. We were grounded and the Colts lost. It was a terrible moment of our childhood lol. We still poke at the old man for that here and there.
  4. It’s all good! I enjoy the discussion. I’m all on board with paying two WRs. We did it during the Manning, Wayne and Harrison years and had great success. I guess my point is I would prefer more of a Harrison/Wayne duo bc their skill sets were different and complimented each other. Right now I feel like we have Wayne and Stokley and need the Harrison type. Still, just want to be clear I do think Higgins would be an upgrade. Maybe one or both of them are more than capable of stretching the field and haven’t been given the opportunity bc of the roles they were asked to play for their teams.
  5. You are right and the offense did struggle when MPJ was out. One of the other receivers or TEs need to elevate their game. I still don’t think Higgins and MPJ at the salaries they will both command would be a dynamic enough duo to warrant the cost bc they are similar type players. I do agree it would be an upgrade over what we have now though.
  6. Isn’t Higgins a similar player to MPJ? I’m sure he would help our offense but I feel we have that role filled with an already very good receiver. I’m definitely in the minority here but I feel our offense is good enough to see if any of these young guys step up. Down, Pierce and the TEs should have at least one of them elevate nicely with AR at QB. Now if we are in position to draft a playmaker I would fully understand it but none of these FAs seem to be much of an improvement where it’s worth the price tag. Maybe there is a trade option out there but I would be ok with rolling with what we have and building the defense or drafting someone if the value is there. Just my take.
  7. I kind of feel that’s par for the course to support the team. Colts fans are the ones reading and listening to these people. If they are too critical I feel they would lose their reader base quickly. I’m sure there is a fine line where you can be critical and support the team. I feel most fans just want to read and listen to someone cheerleading the team. I know for myself after a few negative episodes or articles I’m going to lose interest just for the fact negativity weighs really heavy. I can acknowledge they are right but still wouldn’t want to keep visiting that well.
  8. You basically nailed why I believe Flacco was signed. His peak value is probably around playing 2-3 games tops and everything he brings off the field. I don’t want to call last years success luck bc the Colts earned it and it was very impressive. However, if AR misses extensive time again I highly doubt we come out with a winning record. This signing is all about grooming AR and having a really good chance to win 2-3 games if called upon. You basically nailed why I believe Flacco was signed.

  9. Solid backup who can give the team a good chance to win a game if he plays
  10. I have my doubts about AR like a lot of people. Mostly bc I don’t like the designed runs for QBs bc of injury. My guess is he has a 60% chance to pan out and win at least a couple division titles for the Colts. I do believe the HC is very good and also that Ballard will be on the same page with him to provide players to win ball games. I’m on board with the direction the team is going and strongly feel they will bust their butts trying to put a winning team out on the field. Win or lose I know this organization is trying and I accept the fate. It’s great to win but you can’t win them all. As long as you try it’s ok to fail. I’m good if this doesn’t work out but I think it’s more likely going to.
  11. Arch is playing behind a QB that was the #1 recruit as well a couple years before him.Quinn Ewers is also very talented and probably will end up a first round pick in the NFL
  12. Not sure what really is going on with Jeudy. I believe injuries hampered him one year but I thought he was going to be better. I hope Watson can elevate him ao he reaches his potential
  13. John Lynch has been impressive as a GM. Even totally blowing the trade up for a QB, he has kept the team stocked with good talent. He is very aggressive in trades as well.
  14. Jerry Jeudy traded to the Browns for I believe a 5th and 6th.
  15. I have not followed former Colts much. Who is performing better after they left? Hooker, Autry and Okereke come to mind but I felt they also played well here too.
