  1. Oakland Raiders Comp Att Yds Pct Y/A Sack YdsL TD Int Rating Carson Palmer(notes) 14 20 299 70.0 15.0 1 1 2 1 125.0

    Palmer's second start after being with the team only 3 weeks and look how he's done. Are the Raiders that much better than the Colts? When Manning's surgery was announced I said we need to get Palmer immediately. Campbell for the Raiders goes down and Palmer's on the team within the week! Had we done the deal we would have had at least a chance to save the season and possibly make the playoffs in a weak AFC South. Now we just have the Peyton/Luck debate to talk about the rest of the season.

    Those that wanted Painter and not Collins..you got your wish. Granted you can't put too much blame on just Painter as he's basically a rookie but why couldn't have the Colts done something when we had the chance.

    I think most people have already addressed this, why would we have given the price for him? If you can honestly give me a reason, then I might say you told us so, otherwise, you didn't. Also, you don't know what Palmer would have done on this team. Brady is a stud on the Pats, but if you move him to Miami or the Browns, he might be nothing. You just don't know.

    Giving away first draft picks, just for one season and maybe...maybe a playoff birth, is not the answer. Palmer might start for Oakland for 3 or 4 years, if he plays well. Manning will hopefully be back next year, so what a waste.

  2. Charlie Casserly reported on NFL today that Caldwell will be back in 2012. Said there is "no doubt"! It is truely pathetic that a coach can be this bad and still get a ringing endorsment from management. Its like somebody else stated in another thread, Caldwell and Manning will come back next season and they'll start winning again and people will all of a sudden forget just how bad a coach Caldwell is and we'll be stuck with him for yrs..

    Even the year Caldwell took us to the SB, I have never been impressed with him. I have asked for them to get rid of him for a while. Even before this year.

  3. No reason we wouldn't have been 4-2 at the least so far into the season and a good bet to win this weekend. Manning is that good. I have always said, he could go to the worst team in the NFL and next season they would have made the playoffs. Tom Brady could go to that team and they would not be any different. Tom is good, but in his system.

    I think a few injuries would have been avoided also. The defense being on the field so much, is hurting them. And with line protection that Manning would be giving out, he would have had a few extra seconds this year to throw and the line wouldn't be falling all over themselves and defenders.

  4. Im not gonna say Jim Caldwell sucks but with the loss of the franchise QB no coach can survive that cause every little thing he does will be scrutinized... and fans dont need to see him without peyton to realize that he's not the best coach.... some of us fans are not contempt with caldwell, i know im not because he doesnt seem like the type of person that a team would wanna win for... but at the same time he has a winning record.

    He has a winning record, but I think it is already clear, Manning has a winning record and Caldwell is riding the coat tails.

  5. I think the whole idea is dumb stupid ignorant and down right insane he going to risk manning behind a really crappy online a defense that cant stop a cold just so he can hopefully have a win

    If Manning was able to play the first game of the season, would you be saying the same thing? Because most likely most of these injuries would have happened still. So should we have shut Manning down, just for these facts? They were just as bad last year? We didn't shut Manning down.

  6. Umm isnt it the mantra of the colts one game at a time? matter of fact forget that... this plays well into the whole thing about sucking for luck... how would that sound to the players when their owner thinks they are gonna suck so bad that they might have the possibility of getting luck... he could have said that after the season or much later on in the season. I know very well its his team.

    That has to do with focusing on the next game, but lets face it, if you aren't looking past that and as already mentioned a few years down the road, you aren't going anywhere. If you live your life, only thinking of what happens tomorrow and don't plan for furture, then you aren't going anywhere. He was asked a question, I think 32 team owners would have answered it the same way, of course they would look at Luck. Doesn't mean they are going to draft him, doesn't mean they don't have faith in their current QB. It is just a question and I think he answered it correctly.

    I think if you went and asked each player what they thought, they would say, well, if we have the number one draft pick, we should look at Luck. It only makes sense.

  7. irsay needs to be quiet and worry about this season, its one thing for fans to talk about luck its another when the team owner is talking about as well during the season.. shows what he thinks about his team, instead of talking about luck why doesnt he go try to make a position other than QB better. Nonetheless the colts will not get the chance to get luck that will be the dolphins.

    So the owner can't answer a question about next seasons draft? Really? For some reason, I thought that, you know, it is HIS team and not ours.

  8. Lets see in first season he akes the Colts to the SB

    Lets see in second season with a high number of key injuries to key positions he gets the Colts to the playoffs

    Lets see in third season with out Peyton he has kept the team in tact and even though they are 0-4 have only had 1 bad blowout.

    Yes Caldwell can coach, I doubt any other person would have had any better of a record then Caldwell given the same things to work with.

    Really? I think after this year, it is proven not only that Manning did all this stuff, but that Manning also should have been the league MVP for 10 years in a row.

    Caldwell didn't do any of this stuff.

  9. His case is that he is a first round draft pick and releasing him would make a couple people in the front office look bad.

    That's all i got. I did notice he got on the field other then special teams at least once tonight. He blew a block and got Painter killed.

    I think keeping him makes them look even worse! I would respect them more if they cut him and their pick and got someone else.
