    Per Reich, no decision from Anthony Castonzo yet

    You know, it is possible, in fact even probable, that Castonzo is making a decision on what he feels is best for him regardless of who the QB is. 

    Does he want to prepare to play in the off season?  Does his body feel right?  Would his body feel ok with another couple years of playing the game?  Does he want to delay getting started with the rest of his life?  Those are the far more likely scenarios he is weighing and none of them involve who the damn QB is. 

     

    Many fans extend their own take on player desires/motivations, and assume those mirror their own. 

     

    Your take is correct.

    Top 5 regardless of need

    in NFL Draft, Scouting, and Free Agent Talk

    Posted

    This is very basic. Pretend the Colts have zero needs other than depth. Got it? Zero.

     

    I invite you to select....in order, the top five talents in the draft that you want on the team. Remember, need has nothing to do with this exercise.

    This is about making a top 5 big board, of your ranking of impact players as if you were a scouting agency who represents no team. (Selecting a QB #1, is saying that is the most talented/impactful player in this draft)

    I think they'd have to be sniffing the playoffs at that point or we'll have all new coaches and GM and a failing 3rd year QB which could set us back to a place we haven't been since the darkest days.

    There is so much I disagree with here.

    I stand by my statement.

    I took your comment wrong, sorry.

    There would be very little content on this forum at all if it wasn't for complaining.

    Bull crap. There would be content, perhaps not the content you prefer.

    You know, as I think about this from a fan perspective, rather than a Castonzo perspective, I try to play the"window of opportunity" game. 

     

    When one looks at the assembled players in the last 2 or 3 years and juxtapose that with the team build and future growth, Anthony sits a little outside that window. I love him as a player, and I think he has been vastly underappreciated by fans. I even see some who practically called him trash, now wringing their hands at his possible departure. 

     

    I think most of the players at his age see this as a body/earnings business decision far more than fans are willing to recognize. We can discuss the window of opportunity angle till the cows come home, and as seen here, the conjecture will abound. In the end, for the player, it is far more likely that his decision is about whether he wants to put more degradation on his body, regardless of who the QB is or the immediate future possibility of a SB.

    If the only thing you root for and enjoy as a fan is a SB, then the bed of misery you might lie in, is the bed you made.

     

    I love this team, it's character, it's mettle, it's flaws, and all. Mostly, I love the adventure as the team moves forward. For me to be miserable about it..... would be profoundly stupid. 

     

    Entertainment is a choice. Choose wisely.

    The new young players need at minimum 2-3 years of experience to show they have what it takes to compete at the NFL level. And to earn the right to be leaders. We are just now on the edge of that now.

    This.

    Taking a QB?

    in NFL Draft, Scouting, and Free Agent Talk

    Posted

    Regardless of what any fan may think, I feel pretty strongly that should the Colts stay put with their first pick, they will not select a QB. Of course I can be totally wrong, but here is why I feel this way. 

     

    After reading every big board I could find, it appears that 2 or 3 QBs appear in the top 10 or so....and then near the bottom of the first round or top of the second.

    Of course, Ballards board is his own, but unless a QB falls that is truly worthy (regardless of what fans may think is worthy), Ballard will likely continue to build the team with the best player available. The Colts staff may have Justin H in the top ten, or they may have him at 23. I mean, everyone just knows that Joe B is to be selected by the Bengals, but Chase Young is likely THE best player in the draft. Thoughts?
