Not sure why nobody has asked, but who do you like this year in the draft?
not high on any of them - but haven't looked in depth

It's not bashing the opinion. It's bashing coming back 3 years later to say "told you so". I'm right about a lot of prospects and I'm also wrong about some too, but I don't bump my old threads to try to show everyone how right I was.
Your premise at that time wasn't realistic by any means, because we still had Luck and Allen was viewed as a boom or bust prospect. It's neat to look back with the benefit of hindsight, but at that time, drafting a QB in the top 10 when you already had a generational talent on the mend just didn't make sense. At that moment, it was all about building around Luck. We all know what happened with Luck, but you can't come back 3 years later and act like we should have made a decision then based off of events that hadn't happened yet.
I guess the event that did happen was luck broked his shoulder right? the one he throws the ball with...
That alone made me skeptical of his future as a QB.
I think thread is very relevant due to our QB situation over the last few years

Funny how the OP did not come back after year 1 when Josh Allen had all his accuracy issues and had to time it now. The "I told you so" folks come back around only when things go their way. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Just saying. Some hedge their bets on Anthony Gordon too (cough, cough...) and don't have much to show for it, so that poster comes back saying after 1 game of Jordan Love "see I told you he is no good". LOL, get out of here.
Every year, there will be a draft pundit coming back "see, I told you this guy Herbert will be good, I told you Darius Leonard will be good, I told you Keanu Neal will be drafted in the first round and you guys laughed at me". If those posters are reading, they will exactly know who I am talking about.
If the Bills GM doesn't make moves for Diggs, Sanders, and brings in young guys like Knox, Davis and signs good vet OL, we are probably talking Josh Allen still fighting to win the division with the Patriots. The league is set up for offensive production and if you have a GM "willing" to make moves in free agency to surround the very good QBs with very good weapons, you will see the QB make the jump to an "elite QB". That is just how it goes.
NOTHING happens in a vacuum for the player. Lots of factors surround 1 single player for their success and a team to be put together in this team sport of football from coaching to player development to player support.
Sorry to offend you Mr chad72 - but realistically - Josh Allen would have bean the man here at the Colts. It is interesting that most people in this thread said Mayfield, Rosen and Darnold would all be great, however Allen just threw 9 TDs in 2 playoff games. That not too bad right? I have only ever advocated so much for Allen because he is good - you can't deny it.
Diggs, Sanders Knox Davis etc - they are all made better by Josh Allen - Diggs has had career years when working with Allen (I hope this makes sense?)
I guess what I am saying is - people have opinions and sometimes they are right - but to trash their opinion and come back in 3 years and say "whatever dude broken clock right twice a day ya know?" is not a great way to assert your football knowledge on to this great forum we call home.

So I was right in the end - Luck left us hopeless - Jacoby burnt down the ship - we sailed on with Philip Rivers skeleton and now we are stuck with Carson Wentz's Shadow.
It's ok guys I forgive you all - I am just happy to see Josh Allen doing his thing - and hopefully one day he wins that Superbowl.
Good night Y'all

Dorsey built KC... and he’s building Cleveland. He’s got a longer track record of success than Ballard does.
What exactly did KC win under Dorsey??

Good thought but I’m not sure any Olineman we could get in the first three picks could crack the starting rotation. But I’d love the pick if they find that guy.
Probably the first draft in forever that we didn’t have a real clue which way we’re going.
Lindstrom would easily start

I think this is nothing new to Colts fans but I also thought this would be the spot they start looking at WR. Just thought I'd share.

Wow
This guy is so underrated
He is clearly the best QB in the draft by far

How about the one 2 plays later ? Enron's dropped pass . He and the team walked off like that was no big deal ? I'm sure they cared but the appearance was crazy IMO.
They seem to smile alot even when they are playing really bad

Just for conversation, not directing anything at you, just wanted to comment on this line.
I'm still not sure Luck will be a football lifer. I don't see him sticking around till 40 like Peyton/Brady/Brees. There's always this vision I have of him being the type of guy who'll play till about 35 then go do something a smart Stanford guy would do. Design bridges or something with literature.
As long as he keeps winning I don't care what he does

Braden just went against both Watt and Clowney, two of the absolute best in the league. And on occasion, Reader who is pretty dang good too. I’d say those 3 are near or at Houston’s level
Houston has never been the same since his injury...
Ford has been clutch this year though

In my opinion it would have to be Braden Smith drafted as a guard and now starting RT and handled JJ Watt like a vet tackle. I think he has made huge gains and is going to only get better and more consistent.
Just wanting to give some credit to guys who have stepped up and owned there positions, there has been alot of players to do this and I beleive this is the best rounded group of guys the Horseshoe has had in a long time
How bout ‘Stone hands’ Ebron ?

That drive bugged me. Still does. We were trying to run the clock out. It wasn’t until the big PI call that we got serious about trying to score. By then we’d wasted too much time by not running an efficient 2 minute offense. Throwing that ball to Rodgers over the middle and trying to get him to get it out of bounds was silly. 95 times out of 100 that isn’t going to work.
We took our foot off the gas on that drive until it was too late. Scoring there, even a FG would have made it a 4 score game as opposed to 3. Really didn’t like the way that one played out.
We kept the Texans D on the field to end the half though - thus adding to their Saturday evening workout.
The key was to run out the clock and not have a turnover. If they ran the 2 minute drill and turn it over momentum would have shifted.

Man, I didn't want to play KC in the playoffs. I think we match up horribly against them. But, looks like we'll get a real taste of how legit our Colts are.
We match up well... we have a fast fluid defense that relies on zone so the deep balls to tyrekekek shouldn’t be an issue.
KC defense is terrible and they don’t have Kareem hunt anymore.
Dont forget Mahomes is in his second year. Everyone said Watson loves the big stage but he choked up in the playoffs.
Regular season doesn’t matter in the playoffs

He lives up to his draft reports with us. Perfect fit on the opposite side of our other mauler....bookended by two athletic tackles and captained by Kelly! It's a great line!

They weren't losing against JAC. Even if they somehow lost that pick by winning an extra game, they would have traded up...it would have cost a lot more...so thankfully that didn't happen. But STL would have been in a position to basically trade the #1 pick twice...so IND was getting Luck.
Tbh if they traded up .....
...... there would be less Grigson busts

RG3 might have been great if he didn’t injure his knee.
Feel for the guy

The strip sack that got saved by the flag? Without the penalty that sack never happens. If this is the sack then it never happens if the hold doesn't happen.
The blitz in the fourth quarter where Luck held the ball quite a while. It was the rookie Giants LB coming through the B gap. Mack chop blocked him but he got up and pulled Luck down.

Where did this narrative about Luck and outside games come from?
Earlier in the year
Luck played in the link
Weather wasn’t great
Luck appeared to have trouble
This game was outside

I didn't even get to see the game. Was he that bad?
"Franklin, who saw the bulk of snaps in Anthony Walker's stead at middle linebacker, was a constant victim of the Giants' attack Sunday. In both the run game and the pass, Eli Manning and Co. routinely went Franklin's way, and found considerable success. For a while it felt like the Colts didn't have an answer. "
He is v v slow.

i changed "no" to "yes definitely" lol
its ok - I actually don't mind Carson - keep in mind he has only been here one year with no offseason.
It takes time to develop chemistry and timing patterns with receivers.
Its better we go with Carson for 2022 instead of wasting a pick this year - maybe try and bring in a good TE and a good WR so Carson has someone to throw to - because at the moment no one gets open .
The TE is the most important piece of the offense so Frank and Chris better come up with something there or it will be another long year.
in closing > give Carson a full offseason with Pittman, New TE, new WR plus the other WRs on the roster. JT will have also developed more going into his third season so this could in fact be a dominant offense > couple that with an aggressive style of defense that we havent seen in Indy for a while and it might end up being a top team.
Have some optimism even though it has been a while since we were competitive - this team is stacked at the moment its like a cupcake with icing but no sprinkles - get a dominant TE and decent WR and they are your sprinkles
thank you for your time
