So you're saying that the strategy that, given a pick in the draft has a 50% of yielding an All-Pro player, a team should hold on to their picks and not trade away picks for players who are 31 years old and have 2 sacks on the year, is a bad strategy???
And why do you even care so much about not getting Ryan Kerrigan after all the other problems that were exposed on Sunday? This seems like a pointless conversation
Ryan wasn't my deal breaker I'm saying anyone in general could have came to help not just the average guys we have on the roster...

it will look bad for sure, the media really ripped into the jets yesterday
standings wise though, we would be one game behind Houston and they are up next. we cant really lose the season next week imo, and i dont think they will lose either, they got this
I would hope so the way we've played this season is a little scary we haven't decisively won any game or lost any game...

Wow, a 50% chance of each pick being an all-pro?? Even I didn't value draft picks THAT high! Well in that light, why on earth would you want to trade anything for Ryan Kerrigan??
Is that not chris Ballards philosophy? " I want to build a contender by drafting" so you are banking on drafting well enough that each year you are going to get Nelson and Leonard caliber players. And silly me I have no idea why I would want Ryan Kerrigan a 4x pro-bowler and adequate pass rusher...

We were looking at Kerrigan. Evidently they were asking too much.
Move on. That's the least of our problems right now
Unless they were asking for a 1st round picks or a high caliber player nothing could be asking too much to make your team better. But I guess let's stay content or trusting drafting guys out of college that have a 50-50 chance of being bust or all-pro

it's kinda funny...Ballard has literally been the most transparent GM in recent memory as to what his plan is. He has said on multiple occasions that they want sustained long term success. You don't get that by just throwing away draft picks at players that might only help you for a year or so. Unless you're a team like the Patriots that are trying to win now because their window is almost shut. The Colts window is just now opening.
Ok let's look at this on a (what if basis) he builds a team for sustained success let's say that's takes another 5 years or so with the same results we are seeing in year 3 no closer to winning superbowls how worth it is that philosophy? So essentially we would have wasted 8 years.... think outside the box

were you expecting a trade or something? im kind of upset about the kicking game but i dont know of anyone better out there now
who were you wanting and for what price?
Not necessarily looking for a trade at the kicker position, but how about a guy like Chris Harris Jr. Proven legit man coverage dominant Corner... a legit pass rusher von miller? Ryan Kerrigan? Someone better tha. Chester Roger's, Deon Cain, and Glowinski I know that's wishful thinking but with 40mill+ in cap available are we investing that money in accorn or what?

Hmmm state of franchise.
Year 2 of complete team overhaul ( I know it's technically year 3, but I'm not counting the last Pagano year)
2nd year head coach and 2 2nd year coordinators
Many 1st and 2nd year players getting major playing time/starting
Back-up QB in only 2nd year of really starting
Injuries to many important players on roster and they've missed multiple games/out for the year/or retired abruptly.
HOF kicker having worst year of career
Division probably toughest in league record wise through first half of season
Still 5-3 and in drivers seat for division if they can beat Houston again in a few weeks. And at worst, in play for a wild card.
I'd say they're doing pretty well overall....not elite Super Bowl contender yet, but they're getting close.
Not there yet but we're getting close is the mentality of a team who has accepted defeat and is ok with mediocrity. I've been content with that philosophy far too long change it up how bout stop with all the excuses and execute and become a contender! How fun is it for the colts to be an afterthought year after year...

This team knows how to win. A lot of things went wrong yesterday. They had some fumbles from people who are usually secure with the ball. They lost the starting QB to injury, they had some bad calls go against them (Although I would grant at least one did go in our favor.) In the end they still had a chance to win but the holder screwed up the hold and held laces in and Vinny shanked the kick.
It happens. The Pats just lost to the Ravens.
I agree 100% I'm not arguing that I'm just saying the way we've lost games this season that's not championship football we have to beat teams that we should beat and stop playing down to our opponents. The Broncos game should not have been that close. All I'm saying is we need to improve the season is nearly over and the playoffs are coming fast it'd be nice to continue watching the colts into February instead of being home in early January...

I find it interesting that the thought here is we need offensive playmakers when the Colts should have scored 30 points probably? Missed a PAT and then tried to "catch up" with a missed 2 point conversion, and then a missed field goal. And that was with a backup QB that that is backing up a backup that became our starter.
We also gave up a pick 6 and gifted the Steelers a field goal at that end of the second quarter.
I am still willing to let the young guys learn some things about what it takes to win.
So how much longer are we willing to bank on cashing in on a Quenton Nelson and Darius Leonard generational talents eventually you hope those guys bring in multiple championships before a 10 year career or become too expensive and we ultimately let them test free agency that's the harsh reality of the Colts organization Manning, Freeney, Sanders, Mathis, Wayne,Harrison, Brackett etc ultra talented players 1 superbowl win....

Cain was praised to be #2 to Hilton so he hasn't lived up to any expectations to even have been drafted is bust caliber. "Next man up" not that man lol

That was past the deadline, so they couldn't do anything at that point
My point exactly up to the deadline you look at this roster and say to yourself yeah we can contend for a superbowl with these guys?

Kinda hard to address everything in three years. Have to remember a lot changed with schemes and coaching changes after 2017.
However, the Colts still made playoffs in 2018 and most likely this season. Quite an achievement after losing your franchise signal caller. I think that speaks volumes about Mr Ballard. Is he perfect? Of course not, but I believe he has a philosophy on building a team and sticks to it.
I’m glad this team is no longer in salary cap hell. Ballard has done well accumulating picks and drafting well.
Be patient, the Colts are headed in the right direction. Look at Cleveland, lots of CAP space, draft picks, splash trades and where are they? 2-6.
So let me understand your premise. You believe if the colts would have acquired O'Dell Beckham Jr and others we would be a 2-6 team? So adding proven elite players to your roster makes you worse? The Browns are an anomaly because they don't have a legit qb and poor coach give us 4 of the talented players they have with our exceptional coaching I guarantee we are better off with the subpar playmakers we have.

Honestly I'm glad Ballard didn't make a move there.
Look at the weapons that where traded. Emmanual Sanders who is 32 was traded for a 3rd and a 4th.
Ballard has gotten Okereke, Willis, Hines, Mack and Stewart in the 3rd and 4th rounds. You want to trade away the probability of getting a player of that caliber at age 22 away for a receiver who might play for us for 2 or 3 years tops. Especially when he's going to come in and not know the offense?
Mohamed Sanu who is 30 was traded for a 2nd. This guy is a career 2nd or 3rd receiver. Ballard has drafted Leonard, Smith, Turay, Lewis, Ya-Sin, Bangou, Campbell. You want to throw away the likelyhood of getting that kind of talent at age 22 for some temporary help?
Stand pat, TY is only out 3 or 4 weeks anyways, not the whole season. We arn't in win now mode. This team isn't winning a SB. Don't throw good draft picks away chasing wins in a season that you know you won't be making a deep playoff run regardless.
Agreed, but tell me in the 100 year history of the nfl which nfl team has had sustained success and superbowl victories with youth? You need proven commodities to show the youth how to win is all I'm saying we can have the youngest team every assembled but what is that gonna get us? Early exits and losses to lower tier teams...

He got hurt on Wednesday, so no they didn't know that.
Understood so they were super confident in Cain Roger's Pascal that those guys would be able to uplift this franchise vs other teams (elite) wide reciever groups that's laughable

I agree don't bring in old washed up guys. Granted this is Cains legit 1st season he looks like a bust to me I don't see our skill position guys to be that elite or hard to stop outside of Hilton

Question Coltsnation with the compiling injuries that we deal with every year just like any other team, when does it become overbearingly stubborn to "stick to the process" and solely trust in draft capital, vs bringing in proven players who can help you? They (colts organization) had to know TY was hurt and would miss significant time why not attempt to make a move to bring in another weapon? Our offense essentially has 1 playmaker. Defensively we continue to healthy scratch Quincy Wilson if he's not good enough to start with Desir being out why didn't we trade for a capable corner? Our philosophy is very wishy-washy and I don't think it's the way to build a Championship contender just my venting 2 cents. Chris Ballard always preaches competition and the roster will always look to get better and be a revolving door I don't see that. I see him harboring draft capital and signing random Defensive tackles off the street.

If Jacoby misses multiple games, do the Colts call Andrew Luck ? Or would Luck even reach out to the Colts ? Hoyer is a statue back there.
Can Andrew Luck kick field goals or PATs?

Where is Chris Ballard he's MIA he needs to do a interview addressing the state in which his team is in.

I prefer 3-4 Defense over 4-3 Defense simply because you generate more exotic pass rush out of 3-4. If you run 4-3 you need 4 down lineman who can get home. (Pass rush ability) and the Middle Linebacker in your scheme had to be versatile he cannot afford to have a weakness he must be able to come up and stop the run efficiently and also be great in coverage. The Outside Linebackers contain the edges and also drop in coverage. In a 3-4 scheme their is more room for error if you have two elite pass rushers on the edge and a run stuffing Nose Tackle you will always have success the front 7 makes up for a poor secondary. In a 4-3 you have to be technically sound with the right bodies in play you cannot plug and play and if you don't have adequate depth the scheme is in trouble... But I would not be opposed to running 4-3 if we have the right guys to play in the system like the Jags this year their Defense is phenomenal and also well COACHED which we also lack...

Salary Cap next year

True the way teams find a loophole in that is resigning their own guys. Doesn't have to be in free agency.
