What does "BTM" stand for on Luck's T-shirt?
mikey287 replied to King Colt's topic in Colts Football
It's just a helpful little acronym so Andrew remembers how to eat...Bite. Taste. Masticate. -
Drama Ben is at it again...I mean, the guy who tells the media he's going to retire after every bye week is upset that a team drafted a possible replacement...?

Marlon Mack Underwent Shoulder Surgery on Torn Labrum
mikey287 replied to Fisticuffs111's topic in Colts Football
Shoulder injuries like this might have a "normal" get back to square recovery time...but your full strength time is usually 12-18 months with a lot of them. Shoulders are a *...and I'm not making a joke about Luck...they genuinely are awful... -
Why do people assume that they somehow have a better handle on the marketplace than the only guys who have exclusive access to that marketplace? I'm not saying you can't criticize the move, that's fine...but to essentially say that our GM actively and purposefully took less value than what was available is a bizarre point to try to make. I mean, what GM did you talk to that said "I would have given a 6th"...?

Great thread, seriously.

Predict? Meh. But evaluate talent? Oh absolutely. I mean, that's exactly what scouts are going off of...don't confuse "success" and "talent" they aren't the same thing. So being good in college is one thing, being good in the pros is another. It's not too, too difficult to discern which skills are transferable and which ones are not... I'll address your Denver question specifically, as I feel that it's direct enough that I shouldn't skirt around it. Brock Osweiler I have thought is a very bad for the duration of his time in my purview. Moreover, his lack of talent aside

There's plenty to go on if you're looking for it...I like quarterbacks and I like to follow them because I'm at least a tiny bit knowledgeable about the position from a mechanical perspective...I've seen McCarron and Bama, seen him in the preseason in the NFL, etc. just like there was plenty for Jimmy G-Sus, there's plenty here...I saw a ton in one, I don't see anything interesting in the other...we'll see how it goes... Developmental coaches are a big part of the equation that most fans don't take into account...that said, there still needs to be a baseline and a steep development

Didn't stick out as a noteworthy player to me at any level...fine as a backup, but not nearly as talented as Jimmy G-sus...

No team with a one groin QB has ever won the Superbowl
mikey287 replied to Iron Colt's topic in Colts Football
I would like it if he pulled more groin stats... -
Why did Garcon not re-sign with the Colts in 2012?
mikey287 replied to Tsarquise's topic in Colts Football
Yeah, that was my recollection of him as well. Glad someone else said it too. Garcon made hard catches look easy and easy catches look so, so difficult. As such, I was not unhappy to see him go. Conversely, I had no inkling that he would ever have the ability to lead the league in receptions like he did one season. He was looked to as a pretty reliable catcher in retrospect (I think) but that was not the case in Indianapolis... -
Hmph, TIL that this board thinks that the word for the tip of a baby bottle where milk comes out is a curse word...there is no chance that isn't more interesting than the OP...you're welcome.
