    The colts offense will be far better than OK.

     

    Agreed. How much "far better" than "ok" to be determined. Chudzinski is quite capable of designing a Playbook around Luck & Co. to bring out the best from Andrew. If the powers that be are correct, the Colts have only seen a portion of what Luck truly holds as a NFL QB. We'll see soon enough.

    You have no clue if the Colts have fallen behind. You may have an opinion but IMO the Colts are not close to the trash as what you believe. A couple of players here and there and the Colts have already proven they can beat anyone in the league. Even at 8-8 they beat Denver and took Carolina into over time and had a good chance of winning that game. A team does not do that by being trash.

     

    Agreed, CC1. With a couple of defensive & OL moves, this team becomes much more formidable. If the Colts can obtain these critical players from this draft & on, the franchise really isn't that far away as some would think.

    Yeah same here I don't care at all I only cared about Peyton. I do really like Von Miller and hope they don't ruin his chances of winning games by signing or trading for some garbage QB tho. If they want one of those crappy QBs just trade Von Miller here so he can be on a team with a real QB again!!! haha

     

    The Colts could have a "possible" Von Miller staring them in the face with the 18th pick overall. Hope he's (RR/Alabama) there & Indy pulls the trigger on him.

        I dint know he knew him and I guess I forgot that Von Miller and Johnny are from the same school.

       I guess they'd talk about a backup role? Right?

     

      But he'd have to serve a suspension before ever returning to the NFL.

    And shouldn't he sit out this coming year for his own good to show he can get himself straight?

     

     Denver isn't this desperate, are they? 

     

     

    I'm not sure if Manziel will ever be ready to QB in the NFL. 

     

    1. Will he stay off the sauce?

    2. Will he obey his coaches? 

    3. Will he stop lying? 

    4. Will he get help?

    5. Can he really play Pro Football consistently? 

     

    Many more questions.

     

    If Denver's desperate, they can't be THAT desperate.

    Clearer rules regarding intentional grounding when a QB is throwing a ball away to avoid a sack. Far too many times, in the Patriots-Denver preseason game, Brady threw the ball when no receiver was in the area while he was in the box, and no one called it. What the hell? I posted about this on this forum and the chatroom, and many others were equally confused.

     

    I wish I could find examples, but because they went in the books as incomplete passes, I can't find highlights.

     

    This was proposed but turned down by the owners this year. A change to Rule 8 Section 2 Article 1 of the NFL rule book would've provided a more clearer & sharper definition as to what "intentional grounding" would encompass.

    I really can't go with that one because a teams defense needs to be part of a win. Losing a game because of a long field goal is not the same as giving up a TD IMO. Just a different point of view I guess?

     

    Sure, I understand. However, if both sides get a chance at possession, it does include both teams utilizing their offense & defense just as in regulation.

    Impact Rookie : Todd Gurley/Marcus Mariota/Amari Cooper

    Breakout Rookie 2016 : Amari Cooper

    Rookie Impact Player 10 years from now : Amari Cooper/Marcus Mariota

    Favorite Rookie : Marcus Mariota/Amari Cooper

     

    Mariota & Cooper are HUGE NFL players who will continue to shine. Carr & Cooper will be a lethal threat for years to come for the Raiders. Mariota & the Titans will only get a lot better with time.

    Many thanks!

     

    Always appreciate good 411....

     

    I'd be interested in him even for only goal line situations and 3rd/4th and short situations as well.  He feels like he'll be a load to bring down.

     

    Then it will be interesting to see if we invest in the young man.     He certainly "feels" like a typical Grigson project.....     Guess we'll find out....

     

     

    Yep. Sure wouldn't mind seeing a punishing, stout, agile RB who can be relied upon consistently to pick up short yardage. Especially, goal line/3rd4th downs.

  9.  

    I'd stay away from both. Too much risk & future uncertainty about the drugs. A number one pick in my eyes, better be clean as the wind-driven snow. That's how valuable that slot is to any franchise. Besides, my thinking of acquiring a formidable defense starts with grabbing a total package ILB/MLB that's a game changer.

     

    How do you pass on a potentially GREAT linebacker like Ragland, which in all likelihood, will be staring the Colts in the face with the 18th pick? 

     

    If Ragland isn't there, defense at BPA. If not, then Conklin/Billings if BPA.

     

    An opinionated side note : This team better get serious creating a very good defense, otherwise, the Colts will not hoist another VL until they do.

    i never called someone dumb for wanting to see adams startiing? now your losing credibility because you dont know what your talking about.. someone compared andrew luck to mike adams and i calle dthat dumb not their opinon on my post? why would i post a topic asking everyone what they think if i didnt want to hear their opinion????? the question was never lost no matter how many times you say it lol... As far as letting me in on a secret, I just gave you one.

     

    "now your losing credibility because you don't know what your talking about."

     

    I rest my case. I'm done. So are you.

    nothing i said was misleading? it was actually pretty straight forward how other people take it is their buisness... ive never lost sight i just simply answered people by what they wrote to me.

     

    Yes, you were pretty straight forward how other people see it ... calling their opinions and or person ... "dumb". Thus, losing respect & value of your question & topic. 

     

    Defend your argument all you want. Insertion of innuendos & name calling doesn't earn the two words written above "respect & value". Most all the contributors in this thread, seemingly, wanted to answer the question earnestly. Just because most do not agree with your evaluations shouldn't promulgate abravise jargon. You absolutely lost the intended question and topic with your fire stormed answers.

     

    As far as letting some in on a secret, I just gave you one.

    let me let you in on a little secret... the OP was a opinionated question asking who you would rather see lol not who deserves it? everyone knows that what you just said. atleast i hope

     

    You'd be surprised, MJ. CBFL explains exactly what the "OP" opinionated question proposes. By steering arguments into "that is dumb, so injuries isnt slowing down, Personally I'd rather see a draft pick play, but if u have any or just a little scouting ability" examples of misleading grandeur and evading what you originally wanted by your OP question in the first place, you've lost sight of your topic.

     

    CBFL comes in and explains the correct scenario. Winning the position. You in turn, mock the answer by stating "everyone knows that what you just said." Which, totally aligns with your other answers, by not giving an answer.

     

    You don't need my answer. I just gave it to you.

    In response, the NFL issues a blanket "Denial of the allegatations to the complaint.  Emphasis, on "Denial."   The judge agrees and issues his final order, "Under court law, 'they hate us cuz they ain't us' is not a cause of action, much less one for which petitioners can state a claim for relief.  This court agrees to a denial, while neither affirming nor denying the same to Petitioner's mental state, of the allegations and the case is therefore dismissed."

     

    I'm a New England Patriots fan. You can't do this to me.

    I think we should tank and go 0-16 and draft Leonard Fournette 1st overall next year!!!

     

     

     

     

     

    (It's a joke, so don't get madlmao)

     

    haha Seriously though, that kid from LSU is phenomenal. Going into the NCAA as a junior this coming year, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see him enter the 2017 draft.

    He's got great power & breakaway speed. If he decides to stay in school and enter the NFL in the 2018 draft, all the better IMO. However, I think he would be an easy Top 5 pick in either draft as long as he stays healthy. 

  15.  

    Just as the article states, if the NFL is going to expand the Playoffs by 2 teams, it should stand to reason the only way to achieve this would be cutting the preseason back, as the NFLPA most likely will suggest.

     

    The goal is of course, money. Always has, always will be. It's quite conceivable by expanding the Playoff teams by 2 & chopping the preseason would, in all likelihood, lead down a path of quicker franchise expansion & the possibility of more regular season games as well. Which in turn, again, leads to more money

     

    I highly doubt the NFL has plans to sit on the system in place as of right now. Otherwise, there would be no talk of it at all. Changes are going to happen. No doubt about that. Just hope they can emulate or come close to the status quo structure of viability. A lot of problems need to be addressed before they add or takeaway preseason/regular season games, Playoff structure, player durability, travel, times, and all the concerns that go along with expansion anything for the sake of more money.

    Honestly,  it's actually gotten much better over the last few years.

     

    It was bought by a big company who poured in 10's of millions to improve it.   Hired a number of much better writers.    And they have gotten better  --- up to a point.

     

    But clearly they still have problems.     It's like whack a mole.    You think you've solved one problem and another pops up out of nowhere.     This is a terrible story that a good editor should not have approved.

     

     

    Therein lies the problem with most rags ... your last sentence.

    While I agree with what you are saying, I'm not sure the OP was really directing it as a "pat on the back for doing your job" thing. At least I didn't take it that way. 

     

    On a side note, what is "expected" from NFL players in the offseason anyways? I mean I know what logic says, but what does the NFL demand?

     

    Yep. Didn't take it as a "pat on the back", either. There's nothing wrong at all with going above the call of duty. Nothing. Whether that's physical or cerebral, great work ethics serve their master well. Whatever that is in one's life.

    There's 3 players I could see the Colts taking at 18. 2 I love and 1 I would hate.

     

    Ragland 

    Conklin 

    Billings 

     

    There's a chance all could be gone by 18 too so here's my question 

     

    Who do you take at 18 if so...

    No trade down scenarios here.

     

     

     

    Wouldn't mind any of these 3 players at 18. My preference, as most know by now, is Ragland. Conklin & Billings are great picks as well. These are my Top 3 prospects for the Colts too at 18.

    I want to see how the Draft goes before I predict anything. If I feel really good about the Draft with who we choose then that will make a difference with me as far predicting how many wins may have, etc.. I will say this if Andrew stays completely healthy as do our WR's along with Allen I see no reason why we cant at least win 9 games at worse, as in a winning season. I think 10 wins will win the Division IMO and if our Draft goes well we should be in the 10-11 win range again if health is on our side.

     

    Agreed. Key point, Luck staying healthy. By adding a couple good OL prospects along with defense, I can see Indy winning the division outright. I really think this has to happen, not only for this upcoming season, but for several thereafter. 

     

    The major sticking point is the Playoffs. Without protecting Luck & intensifying the defense, no matter how the AFC South is won by the Colts, advancing any further is just not in the cards. 

     

    If our defense can get past the status of mediocrity & win just a couple games on their own merit alone every season? That's a huge shot in the arm for any team. A difference. A force. Most Super Bowl winners & participants carry very good, great defensive squads. I've been hoping this for the Colts since 2006, when our defense rose above the fray of "Soft" via one Bob Sanders & spilled over into that Playoff run & eventual Super Bowl victory.
