    The wikersham report has been shared multiple times in this very thread.   Read it.   

    I respectfully will ask the same question again because i always respect my elders.

     

    Please stop dodging the question.

     

    What did the the Colts know about Luck retirement and when did they know it ? Especially after ther the shefter report ?

     

    Mr Link can you provide a useful link ?

    I'm not at all.   Just helping you with facts.   

    Let's get back to the point of the current discussion.

     

    You have said that the Colts knew before Luck was going retire that he was going to retire. You said the Colts knew about it before the shefter report.

     

    So what did the Colts know about Lucks retirement and when did they know it ?

     

    Can you provide a link ? Or did you hear a rumor ? 

     

    What exactly?

    He went thru warm ups and was throwing in front of fans that very day… even said he was planning to play week one just days before.  He played everyone. 

    That's strange.

     

    Why there are posters in this very thread that claim the Colts knew way before hand even before schefter leaked the story.

     

    The claim is the Colts knew early on but the fans did not.

     

    Weird

    Going over to my friend Brent's house. He has having over around 5 or 6 people. He is going to order and pickup 100 Wings from BW3's. 50 Hot Barbecue, 50 Regular Mild. He also has a ton of summer sausage with cheese and crackers for more finger goodies. He will have a nice big plate of that ready. He will have the normal stuff as well like a couple bags of Cheese Doritos and a couple of bags of Ruffles with Onion Dip. It is BYOB, I am taking over a 6-pack of my 9% Voo Doo IPA strong beer and a pint of Crown so I can do 2 or 3 shots. 

     

    Regarding the Halftime Show, I rarely watch and probably won't this time either. That will be my time to go outside and get fresh air. Probably do a shot too Celebrating Episode 18 GIF by The Simpsons- PARTY!

    Wow !! I'd like to go to Brent's house too. He had to drop at least a 100 for 100 wings.

     

    Sounds like he has quite a spread !

  5. I'll be at home with the wife making air fryer wings.

     

    I have found getting take out wings is really expensive and the wings are small.

     

    I bought some large wings at the grocery store and going to try some Facebook wing recipes.

     

    Rooting for the 49ers, can't stand the chiefs.

     

    I'm concerned the game is going to be a blowout as I think Purdy is going to melt under pressure.

     

    What is the over and under on how many times the camera shows Taylor? 50 ?

  6. Here is Cynthia Frelunds mock.

     

    She has bowers falling to 15

     

    "Bowers is one of the new-mold tight ends, which means he forecasts to be especially potent in a more modern offense. Enter Shane Steichen, Anthony Richardson and the Colts' scheme. Between blocking, aligning in the slot and out wide, making catches in the vaunted middle-third of the field and generally bullying defenders, Bowers is the kind of versatile piece that could make an immediate impact on the Colts' offense -- similar to what we saw from rookie tight ends in Detroit and Buffalo last year."

    i disagree with the bolded because I think the Colts feel they are playoff ready.  If AR misses a few games, I hope the Colts are not willing to lets those games be losses with a rookie QB.

    So we know what minshews ceiling is.

     

    We missed the playoffs with minshew by losing a few key games.

     

    Why not take a chance and try to find our Brock Purdy?

     

    And if AR gets injured again what if our 4th/5th round rookie comes in and plays so well he wins the starting job like Purdy ?

     

    The Colts would have found their franchise QB, just in a way no one ever expected.

     

    Let's try to do something different

    You forget Jimmy G was the vet for those 2 young guys.    A rookie can't help AR develope..   He can't answer questions that AR might have.   I think a vet as the backup is the way the team will go. 

    Surely you can't be serious. 

     

    Are you saying Jimmy G who dated pornstars was giving young rookies advice ?

     

    I don't think so. Jimmy G was all about Jimmy G and no one else.

     

    Lance and Purdy were pretty much on their own.

     

    Lance washed out of the league by being constantly injured, sound familiar?

     

    It was Shanahan and the QB coach that worked with Purdy not Jimmy G.

     

    Jimmy G spent all his time at the bunny ranch, not working with young QBs.

     

    Come on you're better than this

    I just don’t want to waste four years waiting for him to develop and then end up drafting another quarterback later.  I hope he can put everyone’s mind at ease this upcoming season but I don’t understand why some already have so much faith he’s going to pan out.

    I think your concern is justified.

     

    I would do what the 49ers did.  Go get the Colts a Brock Purdy.  Draft another QB in the 4th or 5 and sit him behind AR.

     

    Let Minshew go.

     

    Then if AR fails or gets injured, let the new QB come in and win the job.

     

    I would not put ALL of my eggs in the AR basket, just most of them.

     

    Follow the 49ers Trey Lance/Brock Purdy model.

    I wholeheartedly agree with you. He is an emotional player that wants to win. He hates to lose. Fans seem to prefer players who are docile, quiet and don't show emotion.

     

    As others have said, I too believe that the Colts should not trade for Diggs but not because of the "diva" reasons given. I always seem to agree with @stitches and I do once again. If the Colts are going to trade a #1 pick for a WR, it should be for a young WR like JJ, Waddle, Lamb and the like. What about a 2nd round pick for Garrett Wilson? I like Wilson a lot.

     

    Diggs would work better on a more veteran team that is winning like the CChiefs

    I agree.  I like Diggs.  I dont think he's right for the Colts though.  He's getting a bit long in the tooth.

     

    He wants to win badly and calls out the team mates for their lackadaisical effort.

     

    The Bills loss to the Bengals last playoffs was a great example.  The bills didn't even show up for that game.

    I think most comments seem to be debating over which playmaker should be picked over others.  Seems to be rearranging the furniture, IMO.  I would wager than at least 90% of the forum members would be happy with a new...better...playmaker at any of these positions:

     

    S

    CB

    LB

    EDGE

    DT (if you think Buck is getting older, a replacement on a rookie deal looks pretty good)

     

    WR

    TE

     

    There seem to be no need for a QB, LT, or RB at pick 15....and god forbid we pick another Oline position there.

     

    That covers pretty much any one of the 11 positions of defense could use a player at 15.  And 2 of the 5 playmaking positions on offense.

     

    Golly, that's a lot of options.  Too many for my usual pre-draft look at needs and players to not require a lot of time.  We got so many options/needs for any kind of playmaker, it makes my head spin.  I'll just have to sit this draft out for the most part and watch which position gets the need filled.

    The 15th pick has to be offense.

     

    Get the best playmaker WR or TE available. 

     

    If bowers is there you have to pull the trigger. 

     

    Get AR every tool possible to be successful.

    Who was he trying to run over?    He had no chance making it to the sideline.   He could have slid I guess,  but not much opportunity to do that either

     

     

    Thanks for the link.  I was finally able to watch the video.

     

    He made a conscious decision to cut up the middle of the field (instead of to the sidelines) and made no effort to slide before tacklers had their hands on him.  He initiated contact with the defenders and they threw him to the ground.

     

    He should have made an effort to run out of bounds instead of the middle of the field and slide if he couldn't make it out of bounds.

     

    But you're right, it was a difficult play.

     

    Bottom line, Mahommes for example keeps a space of 1-2 yards around him and if any defender gets in that space, he is running out of bounds or sliding.

  13. If AR changes his playing style he should last the whole season.

     

    On the injury that ended his season (designed run) he tried to deliver blows to the linebackers and run them over.  Those LB's then tackled him hard and threw him to the ground.

     

    Perhaps on that designed run he should have simply run out of bounds.  If he had, he might have finished the game.

     

    If he doesn't change his playing style, he might not last half the season.

     

    So really it is up to AR how many games he plays.

     

    Steichen needs to tell him to run out of bounds or slide.
