[Thin, thin, thin]

How as the worked out for them..........Sorry to say the colts need to get there head in the game if they want to be the first team to go to the super bowl in there home staduim

2 superbowls in the last 4 years with 1 win. How many other teams have done that well in the last four years?

[polian too soft]

1 FOR 6 IN SUPERBOWLS NOT GREAT. CALDWELL AND POLIAN WILL

ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED FOR QUITING ON THE UNDEFEATED SEASON

NOT THE ONE WIN POLIAN HAS OVER A BEARS TEAM WITH A HORRIBLE

Q.B..

Better than 0 for 0.

[polian too soft]

How many teams haven't won any superbowls since Polian's been with the Colts? How many other teams have struggled to just make the playoffs?

I do hear what you are saying. I would like to see the colts win at least one more SB before Manning is done. But spending a bunch of money on free agents doesn't guarantee wins either. I sometimes get frustrated, but this is the philosophy Irsay and Polian have agreed to. Here is Iray's twitter feed: We didn't make a NFL record 9 straight playoff births with bad cap management n dumb signings of other people's problems,we like 2 pay r own

Since Manning is nearing the end I would like to see making some big moves maybe next year if the Colts struggle this year. But these guys have a plan and do pretty well overall.

[The Nnamdi Asomugha merry-go-round/and is Joining the Eagles *merged*]

If the Jets have both top CBs it would be interesting to see the Colts line up with 4 WRs with the top WRs in tight and the 3rd and 4th WRs out wide. See how the Jets adjust to that. You could still have Clark or Addai as a 5th option. Just might shake things up a little bit. Do the jets leave their top CBs outside on the 3rd and 4th WRs and let the 1 and 2 WRS run up the slots against LBs and lesser DBs? Or do they move the CBs in and let guys like Collie and Gonzo burn them on the edges?

Just fun to think about.

[Chad Spann!!]

The guy looks good. But if the oline doesn't step up significantly in run blocking it won't really make a difference. The oline is the key to the running game. Addai does a good job with some lanes to run in.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see Chad and the line get the job done. I just am not that sure a few rookies are going to step right in and change the Colts rushing ability. But let's hope so!

[we need someone else to carry the team]

A running back can't carry a team. If Peyton goes down no running back is going to carry this team to the superbowl. Just too one dimensional. If you go back a few years and look at the top rushers you will see they don't really carry their teams to the superbowl. That is why QBs get paid much more and are the stars. Even if you pass every down the options off of one set are pretty good. You aren't just stopping the QB, you must stop the receivers too. And many short pass plays are essentially running plays.

Even if we look at great running backs like OJ Simpson, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, or Jim Brown. I don't think you see a guy that will carry a team.

[Kraft singled out by NFL Players]

Richardson not only brought the league to Carolina, he worked night and day to get it there. He's a hard worker, and the only former NFL player to become an owner. I just think he's gone through more than the other owners, and knows the game better than anyone else. That's what makes him good. A former player who brought pro football to Charlotte in the mid-90s, Richardson has become a caretaker of the game. He is, as one owner describes it, a consigliere to Goodell. “Whenever there are ugly, messy disputes behind-the-scenes, Jerry’s one of the guys Roger uses to go settle it,” the owner says. “He doesn’t shoot his mouth off, he treats people with respect and everyone likes him.” Richardson’s status is illustrated by his recent appointment (along with Broncos owner Bowlen) as co-chair of the “CEC” (the NFL Management Council Executive Committee), meaning he’ll play a huge role in the upcoming labor talks. Meanwhile, team president Mark Richardson, Jerry’s second-eldest son, excels in running the Panthers’ day-to-day operations and, as a member of the NFL Network committee, is also highly regarded in league circles. The best thing about the Richardsons? Unlike some of their peers who constantly whine about their market size, they simply work hard and aim high.

You may think that jones is becoming Al Davis, but he's done much more than Davis. Al Davis never brought the SB to Oakland, Jones tried hard to do that and he did. He may not be great with the fans, but he's done a lot for his team. Given what the Joneses are in the process of accomplishing in Texas – building the greatest stadium since the Roman Colosseum – it’s difficult not ranking them No. 1. A fourth Super Bowl ring in two decades of ownership might put them over the top, and with all the talent they’re hording on the Cowboys’ current roster, they just may get one come February. Remember that when Jerry Jones bought the team in 1989, he was considered a reckless renegade who would destroy the NFL as we knew it. With help from some like-minded free-thinkers, he did – and his partners should get down on their knees and thank him for that.

Those are two reasons why I think they're better owners than Kraft, but don't get me wrong, Kraft is great. Built the stadium with his own money, his franchise is a dynasty...

So your criteria is totaly subjective. That's ok. It's your opinion.

I would first off expect top owners to put together an organization that is capable of fielding winning teams. I guess I don't see Richardson in that category right now. He hasn't had a sustained winning team like the Pats, Steelers, Colts, even Cowboys.

The reason I said Jerry Jones is becoming the next Al Davis is he can't keep in his place. He is the owner. He needs to put together an organization that can take care of the duties that a GM and coach should do. But he is too busy meddling and not letting the "experts" he hires do their jobs - like Al Davis. He is also willing to take on any thug, head case, prima dona if he things that guy has the talent to help his team win. And ironically, it's not working. Al Davis has pulled similar stunts. And remember that bigger isn't always better. The Dallas stadium is really big - and kickers can hit the scoreboard. Stupid.

So I guess wouldn't put these 2 guys as 1 and 2. But that is my opinion.

[Kraft singled out by NFL Players]

Oh, I definetely think that he's a great owner top 5 in the NFL, but I have to put guys like Art Blank, Jerry Jones, and Jerry Richardson, especially Richardson, he's the guy who brought the NFL to Carolina. Here's my ranking

1. As much as I don't like him: Jerry Richardson

2. Jerry Jones

3. Robert Kraft

4. Art Blank

5. Jim Irsay

Richarson brought the NFL to Carolina. Ok, that's it? That makes him the top owner?

Jones is quickly becoming the next Al Davis.

I guess I don't understand your criteria.

[Kraft singled out by NFL Players]

As a Colts fan it is easy for me to say Kraft is probably the best overall owner in the league. He really has done a great job of building a first class franchise from all aspects. Hats off to Kraft for making sure a deal got done! Maybe he can tweet the lyrics to his favorite song now.
