  1. Yeah I agree, I think Irsay has been sold on Luck for some time now. While his sporadic nature does scare me, I think he prefers the guy he knows is pretty similar to Manning when he was drafted.

  2. That 4.45 was with the wind. While I do see the Giants taking him at 32, it won't be the end of the world if we don't get him. Even if he is around at 34 depending who's around we could easily pass on him.

    I actually agree completely. I honestly think looking at all the holes on our team, particularly on defense, taking a TE at the #34 overall pick would be unwise. There will still be some very good corners there at that pick, as well as NT and LB.

  3. at his age..........I would have paid him what he got...

    but he's worth more to them than he is to us because of his connection wirth Manning

    Yeah, I just think it makes sense cutting Clark because of cap space, but it sure would be nice not to have to have a rookie TE too. I heard awhile back that the Colts were interested in Seattle's Carlson, but I have not heard a peep since then - so at this point we do not really have much to work with at the TE position, and Tamme would not have cost that much to keep.

  4. I really think they need to make an aggressive push to sign Garay. We have enough cap space that we could sign him and draft picks. We just need to anchor down that NT position, arguably it is the most important position in a 3-4 defense.

  5. Absolutely not! He will probably get paid more than he deserves and we don't need his crazy fans in with the Colts. Let's draft/sign another backup QB there are so many better options than this it isn't even funny. Heck why don't the Colts resign Orvlovsky? Maybe draft Keenum if he's around late.

    Orlovsky has already signed a two year deal with the Bucs. But I agree with the point, we need a veteran backup if we are going to be starting a rookie QB. Lienart may not be all that bad of an option to be honest.

  6. The dissension with the billboards and all that started in Denver was a nightmare last year. The last thing we need is for Tebow to come here, and Andrew (assuming he is our draft pick) struggles as a rookie and has to listen to "bring in Tebow" cheers from crazy fans. No thanks, let him go to Florida where the fans really love him and he would feel at home.

  7. I'll miss him for sure...and it is unfortunate we couldn't trade. It just wasn't ideal to have to fork over the $28 million option and take the salary cap hit to trade him. Who knows, it might not have gotten done if it went that route. Teams probably knew that the Colts weren't going to keep him on the roster...they'd just wait for him to be cut. But hey, we will be rolling in cap money next year.

    This is spot on. If we would have traded him for picks, we would have picked up the remaining four years of the option contract, and caused dead money in each year instead of this year. We are going to have tons of cap space to get other FAs the next two years because we didn't extend the option. It would have been a very dumb business move to pay the option just to pick up a couple picks (that could have been busts anyways).

  8. I agree. Love PM, but I am getting really tired of all these "we made a huge mistake threads." The decision has been made, it is time to embrace the future and move on with this new Colts football era. We can't just stop supporting the team just because PM didn't go out of Indy the way everyone thought he would a couple years ago.

  9. It would be foolish not to re-sign Tamme. He has proven to be Dallas Clark light, and he would not mandate a huge contract. I see virtually no chance Fleener makes it past the Giants in the first round, and even if he does we have significant needs at 3-4 NT and DB. I would rather use our high second rounder on one of those positions.

    I think Wheeler walks though.
