If Collie has another concussion this season?

Anyone see his session with the media at Colts.com? To me he seemed a little slow on the uptake in his replies.

Well I watched it and that to me seemed they way he talks in all his interviews. I think he answered the questions the only way he could day to day. That's the only way he can do right now. JMO of course but good point and that's the reason I watched the clip.

4 bad looking concussions in a two year span. Honestly, I would hope that he retires for his own health. Sad and just very unfortunate. The concussions were simply wrong place, wrong time sort of deals, with how the players collided, but with more and more coming forward about the negative effects of concussions (deathly), I'd hope that he could choose his life and health over football. Don't want to see him go down a road like Junior Seau.

IMO, some of his concussions were wrong place/time but 1 or 2 concussions seemed like he was targeted after he was torching the defense of whatever team we were playing at the time.

I think the Jags home game in 2010 could arguably fall into that category. Was there personally to see Collie kill it on the field only to be laid out with another concussion by a very vicious hit. Oh snap...we are playing the Jags at home again today.

Collie has already made millions and millions and millions of dollars, well more than enough to retire comfortably on. get into broadcasting and make about 90G's a year and live great thereafter. Collie was part of a new breed of receivers we latched onto with Manning and Manning turned them into great receivers but unfortunately, some say that Manning led him into a pack of wolves by the way he was throwing to Collie, I DISAGREE, i think Manning did what he could to get him the ball into traffic and cross field patterns which are always dangerous and led to his concussions.

    • Link to article   This guy likes what how Ballard has built the Colts. The Colts are far from being mediocre. JMO
    • I almost spit my coffee out reading this a few times, lol!  I love sarcasm and I especially love it when there is some truth to it!  Well played Sir!
    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him.
