    So Who's Hoping That Dan-O And P-Money Win Us The Last 4 Games?

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    Imagine the pressure/motivation that Dan Orlovsky must be experiencing right now. His previous stint at QB with the only 0-16 team to date must be a huge albatross around his neck, now made larger by the "opportunity" he has been presented with by the Colts. If he fails to stop another slide to 0-16 his second time around, he is destined to suffer ridicule on every sports trivia game for all eternity.

    yeah, nobody deserves that. But maybe it'll motivate him to pull out all the stops tomorrow.

    Does Anybody Know Where They Track The #/type Of Surgeries A Player Has Had"

    ^agreed! Not a big fan either, even the typical search engine parameters don't work on their site. But I really want to know how many and the types of surgeries some of the seasoned big-name QBs have had. Big Ben, Phillip Rivers, Michael Vick, Carson Palmer, Brady, the guys in Manning's generation. (yeah, I know Big Ben is little younger) It seems to me that Manning has held up a lot better than some of those guys.....\

    And the much ado about the three surgeries is bugging me..... So I'd like to find some more factual info!

    I caught a little bit of the Steelers game last night and the announcers were going over all the concussions, foot, knee, hand, and of course jaw injuries among others that have kept Big Ben out of games and it made me wonder if there's a site where they track this. I did a search and of course looked on NFL.com, but their site is so cluttered and their search engine useless.

    I ask because it seems to me that people are making a little too much noise about Peyton Manning's "three surgeries." It seems to me like he's one of the LEAST banged up QB's out there. I know he's taken his share of beatings, and done so without letting it slow him down! But he seems like he's WAY more likely to bounce back from this then, say Big Ben or Vick would, guys who get the crap beat out of them on the run on a regular basis because they're on the run.

    I've got a question, Are most of you here around 7 or 8 yrs. old? Seriously, it just seems like logic and common sense have passed most of you by or hasn't quite developed yet. Manning isn't playing this yr. I don't know how much more obvious it could be and unless half the players on the rest of the teams we have left to play all have strokes, then the Colts aren't winning out.

    ya remember how I said "Yeah, I know, I'm about to get lynched out of town but the funny thought occurred to me and I just thought it would be hilarious enough to enrage everyone in both camps! And then I couldn't stop snickering......." I never said I thought it would happen! I just thought it would be the perfect joke on everyone if the management scews up our chances to go 0 or 1-16 and get luck after messing up our chances for the other "perfect season." If you want logic or common sense, actually read the post before you start insulting people. That would make sense.

    1. We actually get some good football in this season! yeah!

    2. We don't have to spend the next 3 months agonizing over Luck or no Luck! yeah!

    (I mean, really, how many times have you already had the same conversation trying to argue your point of view, whatever camp you fall in??? How much more of this do you really want to suffer through?)

    3. Peyton comes back for the last game and wins it for us! Reminds everybody why he's still here in Indy We get to see him play at least once this year.

    Yeah, I know, I'm about to get lynched out of town but the funny thought occurred to me and I just thought it would be hilarious enough to enrage everyone in both camps! And then I couldn't stop snickering.......

    Still can't root for the colts to lose. And I do hope we get the pick and trade it for a king's ransom. But BP never trades picks. So in some ways I do think it would be better if we just avoided the Luck dilemna all together!

    I'll take my beating now....

    It doesn't make the most sense, it just makes happy the people who see Rodgers instead of Luck as our draft pick.

    If we are switching up defensive coaches and schemes next year, coupled with the massive amount of key free agent contracts looming, we have far greater priorities.

    People are just looking at the great team Green Bay had before and after Rodgers and assuming the transition is that easy. Well, we don't have a good team (apparently), so it does us no good to rebuild our back up QB situation when that pick could be traded to make us a better all around team.

    WHAT HE SAID! finally, somebody making some sense! :D

    If Peyton Wins The Super Bowl Next Year......

    I agree with you about how much PM helps our team. He makes everyone he plays with better. Team mates know that they are NEVER out of a game with #18 playing.

    With that being said, if PM comes back and starts playing like himself again, I believe that we will be in the same seat we have always been in. A team that wins 10-14 games a year, almost always makes the playoffs, but falls short of the SB because of a subject defense and running game.

    If the Colts want to win a SB in the next 3-6 years, then they had better get some talent around #18. As Colts fans, we have always knew just what kind of impact PM has on his team, but with him being injured and this team being 0-12, now the entire league knows. Now they understand how amazing all these years have been; watching PM do what he does with very little help.

    EXACTLY. Which is why Im hoping that we trade that pick for a king's ransom and get a good QB plus restock the defense and get a good WR.

    Mel Kiper Says Manning Has Played His Last Down With The Colts

    I'm sorry I agree with the other guy, if you jump ship because your favorite player is not on the team you are a bandwagon fan from the beginning. That is ridiculous.

    It is going to be interesting what the team decides, but its a good thing the fans don't make personnel decisions. Granted the fans have emotions invested, not billions like Irsay does.

    I do not think we are just Manning away from being a Super Bowl contender. Too many pieces have left, too many people are free agents, and we have far too many holes. The last two years people have gotten older, slower, and more banged up. Not to mention many of the teams have gotten better over those 2 yrs. 49ers, Packers, Saints, Pats, Bills, Jets, Texans, Titans, etc are all at best equal and most better than they were back then.

    Imo it boils down to if you have a healthy Manning do you keep him and hope to finish 1st in the division and make a couple runs probably falling short or do you build for the future now.

    Either way imo the Colts have no choice to draft Luck unless someone blows them away with an offer and puts them in a position to take Barkley. Barkley would be less of an issue sitting for 2-3 yrs. But lets not forget Mannings contract is for 5 more years, not 2-3. Luck is not sitting 5 years and neither is Barkley imo.

    I'm confused with all the people that say that our team needs a lot more than just Manning to be a contender and THEN say we have to draft Luck. If we need more than just a great QB to be a contender, then we would be better off trading Luck whether Manning is healthy or not. We need to build a younger, more talented, faster TEAM. Not just restock a QB. The idea that we could cut Manning is ludicrous to me, if he's healthy.

    I know there's the whole argument that Luck is the future. But if we restock a more talented team by trading the pick we get a good team plus Manning for a few (hopefully 3-4) more years and at least one more ring NOW.

    If we trade the pick and restock a good team, and Manning goes down or doesn't recover we're only one good draft pick away from another SB instead of 2-4 years. We can still potentially get a good QB in the draft even if we trade Luck.

    IMHO there are a LOT of benefits to trading that #1 pick for a King's ransom. And only a few scenarios where taking Luck and keeping Manning works out.

    I still dont know how you can pass on Andrew Luck with the 1st overall pick. He is unquestionably the best player in the draft, and you dont pass on a guy that is a franchise QB guy.

    I still believe that if Manning truly wants to play for a contender then he could be willing to restructure his deal to where he can be traded and it wont handicap the Colts financially. That would be the best case scenario for the Colts because they would get something in return for Manning to give Andrew Luck more talent around him.

    I think there are teams out there willing to pay Manning his big bonus in order to have his services on the team.

    It's easy to pass on Luck if it means we can trade that pick for a king's ransom of picks and stock the entire team with talent. You don't need a HOF qb on a GREAT team. Just a decent one. We can still take a Forte or another decent QB a little further down in the draft.

    So Who Thinks We Might Have Won 1-2 If They'd Pulled Painter Sooner?

    Well you totally missed the point. Might very clearly said they give up yards but don't allow a lot of points. Then you post a link to a comparison of yardage allowed and make a statement like . Might is not uninformed because he already said the Pats give up a lot of yards, which is all your link proved. So essentially, you agreed with Might and posted a link proving Might to be right and then you called him uninformed. :rolleyes:

    It continues to amaze me how condescending some people can be even in situations where they are the ones who didn't get it.

    Thanks Jason. At least somebody got my point! :yay:

    I'm not saying he's the next Peyton, or even that he's a great qb, just that it was great to get 300+ yards, 10 3rd down conversions, 26 first downs, and two passing TDs. Yeah, they were up 31-3 but do you really think they intended to play things down to the wire so that they had to recover an onside kick to seal the game? That they had to send Tommy boy in to kneel down the last play so as not to screw up the game tells me that Dan accomplished something. Can he do it next week? I don't know. But he looked a heck of a lot more poised out there than Painter ever did.

    Dan O had the luxury of getting one of the worst pass D's in the league take their foot off of the pedal up 31-3.

    Seriously now... Lets see this team do it "when it matters"......

    Worst Pass D's my butt. They may allow yards, but not a whole lotta points. And if they took their foot off the pedal, then why did they have to send Tommie boy out for the last play of the game? Because we were making them a little nervous. This whole garbage time thing floors me.
