    When did the players or coaches show they don’t respect the Dolphins? Media members started drinking the blue koolaid, but I didn’t see anything where the players downplayed Miami.


    They didn't. 

    I'm talking about the fans (not everyone of course).

    You are right tho! this is a good example we get a good win and the whole fanbase is thinking we are a lock for the playoffs. we are not a great team we can get good wins but we can easily lay an egg the very next week.


    We had no right to act cocky - yet we did. 

    Obviously how fans act doesn't really effect the game , (unless cosmic Karma exists) , but it made me uncomfortable anyways. 

    Like ... respect your damn opponent and be humble. We haven't done ****.

    Of course we’re struggling against the dolphins 


    The Dolphins aren't complete trash , you know. We have the same damn record. 

    For the life of me , I have no idea why some said they'd rather face Tannenhill than Osweiler , but here we are.

  4. For me , it's unwise to look past any team at this stage of our development. I'm cautiously optimistic as always , but not supremely confident. 

    I don't think we're good enough to act supremely confident. Luckily, it doesn't really matter how we think as fans , and being overly confident doesn't really have any consequences. 

    For me, the Colts have no right to be acting as if the Dolphins are merely a road block - and they won't- so that's the important thing. The team needs to remain measured and humble , and fans can do whatever they want.

    Does JB do enough since he was chosen in the 3rd round of the draft to at least keep that value?


    Possibly , possibly not. He's worth whatever someone is willing to pay. As it's been stated , the QB market isn't exactly flush in the draft/free agency this summer, so he might go for an inflated price. 

    Where he was drafted is almost irrelevant at this point.

    A young QB with some upside , an NFL sample size , and off-the-charts character, is going to entice someone. 

     

    How much remains to be seen. The QB market fluctuates all the time because of the scarcity of available jobs. 

    Keeping him makes almost no sense unless the offers are just pathetic.

  6. What it's done is essentially taken nuance out of the game. 

    It's telling you that a Quarterback that loses a game cannot be considered to have played better than the Quarterback that won the game. 

    When in reality , we all know that's just not true. You can lose a game , and still outplay the opposing QB.

    It is truly a team sport, having said that what % would you give Peyton for our wins throughout his career?


    Peyton would get an extremely high % for sure. Probably the highest % of anyone all-time. Without him , the whole thing would fall apart , because that's how Polian built the team.

    But it's still a ridiculous stat. 

    If Peyton throws for 400 yards 3TD's and wins he gets a win on his record.

    If Dilfer throws for 85 yards 2 INT's and wins , he gets a win on his record.

    Any stat that allows that much variance to come to the same conclusion , is a horrendously stupid statistic.

  8. I think assigning wins to Quarterbacks is one the dumbest statistics out there. 

    It completely disregards just how much a team sport football really is. Hell, the QB isn't even out there half the time.

    It's almost as stupid as the rings argument.

    I think Rodgers is a Good leader FWIW but I have seen a few better. I seen the Post you were referring too as well, I don't agree with that at all. 


    He just rubs people the wrong way because of how outwardly confident he is. People think he's too cocky and smug. I got news for people , Peyton was pretty damn cocky and smug at times too, he just hid it better. Same with Brady. Read those emails that got leaked of his  that were part of the deflate-gate trial , when he totally trashes Peyton and talks smack about the rest of the league.

    Cocky becomes a problem when it's someone like Cam Newton. That's a guy who makes it about himself wayyyy too much , is clearly seeking attention , and I think it hurts his team sometimes.

    Rodgers simply hasn't had the help that the other guys on that list had. That's the only reason he hasn't won as much. He can do everything that those guys can , and to be honest , he can do things they can't.

  10. Like... how could someone watch week 1 , when Rodgers' leg gets totally messed up, he goes off in a stretcher,  the Packers get demolished when he's out of the game , he comes back probably at like 30% of his capability and can barely move , and wins the game for them making ridiculous throw , after ridiculous throw. 

    How in any world is that not leadership?

    "Cutler with wins" ....give me mercy.
