    You do make a valid point TK. My only reservation now is 2 words: Tom Coughlin. They won under him before [playoffs I mean] & while he's not patrolling the sidelines again; he knows what winning football looks like, sounds like, feels like, & requires. 

     

    I won't predict a reversal of fortune here & now, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I was a little nervous. 

    I met tom coughlin before it was awesome. I had a colts sweater on and he was like ahhh get outta here with that lol. He was totally badass in person. in great shape too for a 70 yo

  2. I watched him play for Green Bay a decent amount last year and was actually enjoying his performance a couple clutch first down runs very hyped up and excited to be producing. I think it's cool he's getting a fair shot again maybe he can surprise some people. 

  3. I just want the colts to go out and prove to the world why we should be respected. I personally think under the radar we really helped ourselves out a lot just by simply putting emphasis on addressing the defense. The most important part of a football team imho. 

  4. We put Andrew through a lot the past couple years if he needs to take his time to really get healthy I'd feel comfortable knowing we did right by him instead of rushing him back and hurting ourselves (or him again). 

  5. Heck yeah there's definitely nothing in the world like playing football with your boys. I played linebacker and fullback for 10+ years won 3 championships. Now obviously it's not the NFL but the amount of growth you get from putting on the helmet and pads and going to war against another team there's nothing like it in the world. I've gotten my share of injuries even neck injuries you take care of yourself and let the doctors do their job. That's the sport it's not a game for the weak of heart I'll tell you that.

    He will skyrocket when the Colts start getting more wins I think.  

     

    Remember after his 2014 season he was ranked #7.  But that year the Colts went to the AFC Championship game.

     

    The list is biased but a lot of it, especially when QB's are concerned is based on how well the team did.  

    Yeah exactly. It's like nobody reads between the lines these days everyone associates how good a qb is by that ring count and totally throw defense wins championships out the window. Now that we're building a defense if the team performs better there's no reason Andrew won't be top 20 for years and years. Maybe top ten but I digress.

    Jets fan father...that's rough. My dad, uncle, and grandpa are all Colts fans, but my brother went with his friends and my other Uncle and is a Jets fan. Constant misery.

    Cant choose your parents football teams lol. I definitely am happy I'm a colts fan now that's the least I can say

    Peyton don't need Bill that's why he's better then tom imo he took jim Caldwell to the SB and won one with Gary kubiack

    Yep. Jim Caldwell man are you kidding me. Peyton could have brought the Browns to the super bowl if he played for them. They definitely would have made the playoffs every year. Most like 10 straight years of double digit wins. He's just the ultimate game manager and player.

    Peyton was the best QB I ever watched.   His mind was always in the game.   He knew the defenses weren't very good and he made the other team change their strategy.   Teams could always run right through the Colts defensive line easier than any other team.    I never seen so many teams give up on the run against a team that you can easily run against.   Manning knew the Colts needed to score early and often.  

    Yeah exactly. Growing up my dad (who is a jets fan) would always tell me how any team versing peyton manning always knew they were gonna put up points and score no matter what team it was. But will you score more points than Peyton does? Literally every week Peyton HAD to score touchdowns, at leastt 2 a game. to even just have a chance to win. And for him to have been the most winning qb until tom broke it by playing that way is just unreal.

    Lost all credibility when it said "61"

    Blows my mind how he is only 61?

    IDC who the player is, if a player leads the league in yards in something they should be higher than this.

    Top 100 list every year is a joke. They say they don't take postseason into consideration but the qbs who were in the Super Bowl automatically go top 10 and if the team didn't play very well than people who don't deserve it like ty and Andrew get to be a lot lower than they should. I remember Andrews video in the top 100 2 years ago was just a 5 minute montage of him getting destroyed by pass rushers and him complimenting them. The hits he's taken in his career so far I'm happy we have new guys in the front office looking to fix things.

    It's all about coaches guys. If the Colts had Dungy for more than 5 years, like the Patriots have Belichick, the Colts were just as successfull as the Pats are. 

     

    It's as hard to find a championship caliber HC as to find a hall of fame caliber QB. Those who got one, are the lucky franchises. And the most successfull ones.

    Having Bb will help anybody obviously but Peyton didnt need a hall of fame coach, he was the coach of the team every year and the qb coach and o coordinator. It was him all the film he watched and work he did with his team he was everything. What was the difference maker between the pats and colts other than coaching was how many hall of fame players on defense the pats had. Mcginest, Harrison, law, mayo, wilfork, bruschi, seymour, ninkovich and whoever else they were stacked. Peyton threw 4 picks to ty law in one game. If Peyton had even half as many hof defenders on his team as tom did Peyton won at least 1 or 2 more as a colt.

    I recently saw Joe Montana and Tom Brady weigh in on 2 points about being the GOAT which I thought were valid:                   1.Using success alone for the QB GOAT is so subjective: the era, fellow players, defenses, coaches, competition, system, etc that allow for a QB to have success. That said, the individual talents: arm strength, vision, good decision making, scrambling ability, movement in the pocket, accuracy, football intelligence, etc are probably more objective measurements to assess a QB as an individual player.                       2. Tom Brady himself said he was the product of coaching and scheme.  Add to that, 2 of his rings were the product ( in part), to 2 terrible coaching decisions. I'm not saying Brady isn't great but I don't know if ANYONE definitively be the GOAT, when it comes to QBs. Do you ever wonder what Peyton would have done with Bellichick as his coach? He had a winning playoff record against Brady and won almost 5 times as many games as Brady, when his defenses were in the bottom half of the league. Give Brady his due, he is one of the greatest to ever play. But the same could be said for Montana, Elway. Marino, Otto Graham, Johnny U, Bart Star and Peyton. Maybe one day, we will see Lucks name mentioned. So despite the "hands down" comment from Gronkowski after the Super Bowl, and what many talking heads and fans believe, I'll agree with Brady and Montana and see the whole argument as subjective. All things being equal, I'd take Peyton over anybody, if I was starting a franchise.

    Peyton had about 3 different head coaches when he was a colt. He won 14 games and went to the super bowl with Jim Caldwell at the helm. Peyton was the coach, he was the team. The 2006 afc championship says it all. The colts were down to the patriots 21-3 I think at halftime the colts defense was getting destroyed but Peyton came out and pretty much did everything and we won that game. He is the goat , its not that hard to understand

    He's obviously doing for the love of the game and the team.  He certainly doesn't need the money so I doubt he's vying for a full time coaching job.  But you never know, maybe that's his future.

     

    I'm still irritated that we didn't keep Freeney a few years ago - If anyone watched the Cardinals season on Amazon, he was coaching up their guys too.  There's a ton these young guys can learn from veterans who aren't afraid to lose their jobs.

    I agree 100% had Freeney and Mathis stuck around together that alone would bring so much life to the locker room. I remember those Freeney Mathis days very well they were some grown men QB haters.

    At this point I'm pretty convinced that Irsay has 100% confidence in Ballard. If Ballard has someone in mind, he'd likely have Jim's blessing. I'd be a little weary about promoting a special teams coach to gead coach though, not gonna lie.

    Well he works for Kansas City so obviously he's not going to challenge Andy Reid for that hc spot but if you look at how the Special teams in KC is right now with players like Tyreek hill and the success he had last year and a lot of other examples (remember Albert Wilson's fake punt TD last year?)  he seems like a guy that knows how to do his job. If Ballard thinks highly enough of him to consider it than maybe he's right. Everybody's gotta start somewhere.
