  1. Very happy with this signing on multiple levels....his skill, the Colt's need, seems like a high character guy who could be a good mentor, and I really thought that he was the kind of signing the Patriots always seem to pull out of their fanny to help them in another Super Bowl run. I honestly thought they would target him to replace Flowers. Good deal Mr. Houston and Mr. Ballard!

    Rogers and Pascal don't have any guaranteed money.  Cain has some guaranteed money but it's so small that it's essentially meaningless to the conversation.

     

    I don't think WR will be a priority in the draft as I think the focus will heavily be on defense.  But if BPA a WR was taken high than there would be a battle for roster spots.

     

    I would also note that I'm pretty sure Cain could be put on the practice squad.

     

    I'm sure Cain is practice squad eligible but after his good showing in camp last year and the fact you have to pass through waivers to get to the practice squad, I doubt he would make it there. Fountain would though I bet, lol.

    The only thing that made KC's Defense good was their pass rush and they traded Dee Ford and let Houston go. Their defense on paper looks awful. Good luck with no pass rush when you play Luck again.

    Plays Luck AND Funchess!!!! Couldn't resist that...but I agree that KC sure seems like a step back, especially with their new DC.

  4. Maybe Ballard has a clause in his contract that he gets to keep a percentage of the unspent salary cap. I'm just kidding, but businesses out in the corporate world do have those kinds of things.

    After I accepted that there was going to be no big signing at the start of free agency this year, I really was hoping that the Colts would have dome SOMETHING the last two days. out of the bargain bin. Nope...looks like the Dollar Store again this year. Sigh!!

  5. I just don't want the Kansas City model which Ballard seems to be following. I'd rather have a Super Bowl on Luck's record when he is done, I honestly like the guy,  vs the "win 10 games, placate the fans and front office, and go to the playoffs and get bounced" KC model. You have to take intelligent chances to win a Super Bowl and I just don't think Ballard will ever take chances. I think Irsay would like to win the big one but I also think he lets the people he hired do their job so to me, this is on Ballard.

    I know this isn't a popular outlook but the answer to whether this proved out to be true will only come over time.

    And remember when the Colts other "GM of the year" had a great draft...what did he follow up that draft with? Let's see what Ballard follows up his historic draft with. Even blind squirrels find a nut once in awhile.

    Yeah, that Bill Polian guy he never drafted great talent in any of his stops along the way right.  He just didn't have an eye for talent I guess. 

     

    CB and his team certainly can't scout WR's for S#%& to date.  And KC before this never had good WR's, which is what always held them back until they finally took a flyer on a low character guy in Hill.  And that is 1 WR pick in how many years in their system as a scout etc? And so far his WR FA's and picks have proven problematic.  His best move was picking up a guy off the street because of the relationship his former coach had with Inman.  Who know's how Cain or Pascal will turn out, but I can think of hmmm.. at least a few solid WR's that Polian picked up in his career.  

    Totally agree with this post.

    Its says he ran a 4.7 at Combine, but ran a 4.5 at Proday

     

    Not sure if this is a big deal or not....... seems like a lot of money

     

    But.........    I if CB says its good....... he has earned MY BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT!
