Wrong time to have this as a poll but he will. Marshall Faulk is in and he didnt do as much as luck did for the team

Yeah I have no idea why Faulk is in there

This team is too good to tank.   Worst will be 6-10.   Best 10-6.    6-10 will net them the 7-10th pick in the draft.  

Thats enough for guy like Fromm at least. 

[Will Andrew Luck ever play again]

Yes.  I think he comes back in 2 years and plays for someone like the Chargers. 

 

West coast guy.

We'd have to trade him. And that wont happen. 

[Luck Retires/ The timing of it all... (merge)]

He went through extreme lengths to come back for 2018. If he checked out like you said he did after he signed his contract, he wouldnt have done that. Please stop with your posts.

 

For all of us.

I am 100% convinced now, and I was 90% convinced before the last few days, that this has almost nothing to do with his physical body and injuries, and almost everything to do with his head.

 

Irsay said it 2 years ago.  I have been saying it ever since.

 

He simply does not want to play because his heart isn't in it.  I said many times, and got killed for it on here, that the shoulder injury basically made him paranoid and afraid about getting hurt again.   He simply cannot handle pain.  Is that a psychological issue?  A mental issue?  Does he have something mentally wrong?  Who knows.

 

I do know that 99.99999999999999999999999999999% of the human population would change places with Luck in a heartbeat.  99.9999999999999% of NFL qbs, having the injuries that Luck does, would not retire.  He has something going on in his head that is simply not allowing himself to go out there and compete anymore.

Reading everything you say makes me feel like my IQ dropped. 

 

Admittedly his mental toughness probably isnt high. But the dude played with a lacerated kidney. He even played 2016 with that same shoulder injury that held him out all of 2017. He has 92 mil and a wife with a kid on the way. Why deal with nagging injuries and the same old routine every year? Especially if your heart isnt in it anymore

[Why Boo [Merge]]

Did that really happen?? Awful. He gave us everything he could. Even came back from a near career threatening shoulder injury.

I watched his plays against Texas, IMO he wasn’t impressive. He did have a sack but it looked like he was losing most of his matchups.  I’m no expert, so judge for yourself.  

 

Then I watched his highlights.  It showed the traits the Colts are looking for, speed, pursuit, good tackling.  

 

Bottom line, he’s raw with a lot of potential.  

I saw that tape as well. Was very put off by it. The raw physical ability is there with him, but that tape showed a concerning lack of hustle and effort. He also has no technique whatsoever. I wouldn't be surprised if his impact and tenure here mirrors Bashams.

How does a offensive lineman tear a ACL when there is no contact in OTA. 

Reggie tore his ACL with no contact. Just depends the way the leg/knee buckles.

I think a lot of fans are going to be surprised how good Banogu turns out to be in our defense.  I think by year end he will be more feared than Justin Houston by opposing offenses.  Ballard and Eberflus have big plans for that guy. 

 

 

On topic:  Glad to hear the positive buzz around Parris.  He is having a strong camp thus far.  I’m also encouraged to hear that Rock Ya-Sin was covering him a few times and was hanging stride for stride with him.  Good signs.  

Idk man I saw like a 20 minute video of Banogu's plays against Texas? Or some college team I forgot. But he looked like butt. No hustle, went in one direction every time even though the play unfolded in another direction, let his blocker basically hold him as long as he wanted. I even saw a few plays where he pretended to extend his arms out for a tackle on a RB but it was flat out obvious he wanted no part of it... I really do not like the Banogu pick. Gonna be another Basham situation. This is just my opinion though. My body is ready for the backlash.

if it crashes it won't be that big of a loss being that it was a mid second round pick.

Mid 2nd round picks are pretty valuable though...

[Parris Campbell highlights]

One thing bothers me. Why didn't they target him on go routes? With his speed...... They didn't even try.. Odd

No, Leonard wasn’t.   That’s why so many people went crazy a year ago.

 

Many websites had Leonard going much later. 

I'll point out that I get my projections from the NFL draft website. He was projected a 2nd or 3rd rounder there.

He's one inch shorter than Turay and roughly the same weight. He'll be fine. He won't play linebacker. He was a pass rusher at TCU.

Ok. I'll be the easy target for some here. 

 

Is that supposed to be reassuring? Turay was phased out for a bigger and more physical Tyquan Lewis in the second half of the season. Even before then, he was a one trick pony who got some nice pressures here and there. I honestly would not want another Turay..

4th or 5th round?   Who predicted that?    By the way, so was some guy namedDarius Leonard.   How did he turn out?  

NFL draft site. And no, Leonard was projected 2nd or 3rd.

He's a DE. Called it. I knew the Colts liked him and Rick Venturi absolutely loves this guy. Uber athletic pass rusher who's much more refined than Turay was last year.

Isn't he a little small to play DE in 4-3? I know Freeney and Mathis did it but they were bonafide stars. He doesn't seem to fit at LB or DE in our scheme imo

First to say it's a reach and terrible pick...

Honestly, i'll agree. wth Ballard. I still trust in the binder but damm. He was projected to go 4th or 5th round. 

[Colts draft Ben Banogu, LB, TCU]

Ok. Who?

Just now, Chloe6124 said:

We get their 46th pick tomorrow. We have three picks tomorrow. Ballard is so freakin smart.

I mean obviously we got their 46th. Would be odd to just give them our 1st for nothing other than their next earliest pick. I do think we could have gotten slightly more value though.
