    Will Mahomes be viewed as a better all time QB than Peyton if he wins this years SuperBowl?

    Title is a followed. Would Mahomes move past Peyton in the all time QB ladder if he wins the big game this year?

    To me, this is a Lebron vs Jordan thing (I know this is going to open a can of worms lol).  In the end even if Mahomes has some better stats (ala Lebron) and even more rings (ala Lebron)...I would still take Peyton (ala Jordan) any day of the week. When Peyton and Jordan were in their respective leagues it was much more difficult to be an offensive star because teams were allowed to play defense.  In the NFL and NBA it has been made so much easier to score and put up stats. (The NBA is worse than the NFL by far)  I still believe if you gave Peyton the teams that Brady played with and gave Brady the teams Peyton played with then Peyton would be regarded as the best QB ever over Brady, and Brady would have maybe 1 or 2 rings....just my two cents.

    Stafford hurt his rookie season. He reinjured it twice his second season. Then finally had surgery. Then he was healthy for 8 years.it’s best to repair it so it doesn’t happen again.

    While it stinks, Minshew has proven to be capable…Richardson is very young too, starts next season at age 22, so if this is a long term fix, it’s worth it.

    Someone needs to explain why it’s gotten this bad. This is more then contract related. And if it’s so bad why is he still permitted on the sideline and at practice.I think fans deserve a answer.

     

     

     

    Its probably just Stephen Holder saying, hey JT I'll push your agenda!....he's an i d i o t, officially in the Greg Doyle range...I don't understand how they stay employed.

    That's how I saw it, it seems like a softening from JT's side, time to let things thaw out a little bit. But I don't know if that's an effective way to do it. Coming back to the team is what really matters.

     

     

    I'm listening to this right now. Stephen Holder asks the worst questions...

    I concur. Stephen Holder is one my least favorite Colts coverage guys....he is almost in the Greg Doyle range for me...

    The total picture: Where are the Colts lacking

    Offensively the Colts can use help all over and that starts with QB. Although it might not be ideal I do think the Colts starting QB next year will be Jacoby. I dont see Ballard reaching on a QB prospect in early rounds when we need help in so many other positions.

     

    On offense it's no secret Colts need some talented skill players. WR to me is at the top of the list. Pascal and Johnson have shown flashes, but teams arent afraid of them. TY is 30 and is entering the back end of his career too. I personally hope Ballard double dips and gets a WR in the early rounds and spends some coin on a guy like Cooper. 

     

    I think Ebron is as food as gone and if that's the case you need an athletic pass catching TE that can stretch the middle of the field. A couple names worth watching in free agency would be Austin Hooper or Hunter Henry. Either would be nice options to pair with Doyle.

     

    As for the RB position I think you need an upgrade their as well. Mack has a problem staying on the field and has really regressed the 2nd half of the season. Hines has been underwhelming, and Wilkins can kick rocks imo.

     

    There are a few big names hitting the free agent market, but as we all know Ballard most likely wont spend big on a RB. With that being said I still think you have to consider some of these guys if the price is right. Derek Henry will most likely get a new contract, but I'd jump all over him if he was to hit the open market. I'll be interested to see what happens with the Chargers RBs. Gordon is a URFA who wants a big deal, and Eckler is restricted but either would be nice in Blue. 2 other names to watch is Kenyan Drake and David Johnson. Drake is a URFA but has played pretty well for AZ since they traded for him. DJ has been unhappy with his touches, and while he isnt a FA the Cards could sign Drake and look to move on from DJ. DJ behind this oline would be fun. 

     

    Defensively I think the main priority is DT followed by pass rushers and CB help. If they can get a stud DT I think it's going to help the entire defense out. This is the position I'd be looking for with our 1st round pick.

     

     

     

     

    I don't see starting RB as a problem. Sure Mack hasn't had the same numbers but teams don't have to worry about the pass because of Brissett's inability to hit open receivers.  I think Mack is fine as a starting RB...QB and WR are where we need upgrades on offense IMHO!  On defense we need to sure up the secondary, and i feel like we have to get away from playing so much soft stinking zone.  I also would say Pass rush is a need, although when Turay returns he and Houston will be a nice tandem.

    Nelson's collapse

    Nelson's failure to hold ground against Heyward cost Brissett and the team.  Several times this year linemen and even linebackers have gotten the better of him one on one.  Is he hurt?  Was he tired?  If not, he better strengthen those legs or work on his footwork and lean.  He's not the guy we expect to be bull rushed like that.

    I urge you to go watch the play again. Heyward got away with a hand underneath Qs face mask. Should have been an illegal hands to the face penalty. No lineman is goi to hold up if the Dline is allowed to push up on his face mask in that manner. Big Q is fine. This was just one of the many calls that didn’t go our way and it cost us our starting QB

    Peter King on Luck

    I personally dont think Luck is one of those qbs that will be playing into his forties.  He has taken alot of punishment already and though he is very good, I dont really sense a strong passion for the game from him.  He is very intelligent and has other interests outside of just football.  

    I respectfully disagree...I’m not sure he will play till 40...but I see plenty of passion for the game from him...the jubilation he shows for every TD...Luck is just a quirky guy but I definitely think he cares and wants to win

    With The Next Pick....

    in NFL Draft, Scouting, and Free Agent Talk

    Posted

    I hadn't seen this discussed anywhere, but the Colts just dropped their second video in the  With the Next Pick series on their site.  The first two videos have been really solid work.  They are pretty short, but I do think it gives you an insight to what is going on behind the scenes for the Colts as they head towards the upcoming draft.  I would give both of them a watch if you can find the time and have not already done so...
