It probably doesn't matter much, but just thought I'd throw it out there

After perusing other teams message boards for years, I'm surprised that some long standing teams don't represent as well online as the colts. Not that online presence means a better fan base, but I was surprised to see some LONG time nfl franchises not too busy as far as online goes. One fanbase that is busy online is the patriots. OMG. They routinely have 1500+ at one time at their main site. Kudos.

I'm not trying to start a war, I just thought it was interesting. The colts have 5-6 independent websites that do very well. For a "small market" I think we have a very devoted base.

Btw, the bears site was one of the (very few viewing) sites I went to. Hard to believe when 100's of colts fans are in the forums representing? ;)

Hey colts fans Packer fan here i just wanted to say I will keep your coach in my prayers and his family. That is terrible news. I hope for a complete recovery and he is healed totally from this. I like the Colts, classy team. Hope we can beat you guys this week. Here is to a good game.

I have checked out other teams sites as well and we are well represented by our fan base and we should be proud of that. I have read some great posts here, well written and informative as well as being entertaining. Not saying all posts are great, but most are entertaining at the very least. Like with most things in life, we must take the good with the bad. Luckily, the good outweigh the bad.

GO BLUE!!!!!

There are a ton of Colt fans who grew up only getting the Bears and the Bengals at 1 PM on Sunday. I still follow the Bears somewhat, but not online. The Bengals lost me with the weekly trips to jail....kind of like the Pacers several years back.

As for the website....I have visited the Ravens and Broncos the most. HMMMM wonder why the Broncos :))

I know I can be a royal pain on here, but moderation is much cleaner on this site than any I have been on......and we should be thankful for them keeping us in line...I know I need it. I still have dreams from my first report card "Brent does not play well with others.' :)

Your report card sounds very similar to that of Curtis Painter's. Are you sure you...are you.....him?

    • Kool-Aid McKinstry(41), Kamari Lassiter(no.42), Max Melton(43) all have their 3d year completely guaranteed too.    In general it seems like MItchell's contract is middle of the road type of contract. Some got more guaranteed, some less... 
    • Enjoy I'm making an 11 hour trip myself  in November  to get to a colts game.
    • Details from OTC: https://overthecap.com/player/adonai-mitchell/11660   Four years, $7,386,086 total value, $4,817,431 fully guaranteed at signing (65.2%, no info about offsets) Signing bonus, $2,191,700 (prorated to $547,925/year) Salaries for 2024 ($795,000) and 2025 ($1,130,731) are fully guaranteed at signing Salary for 2026 ($1,466,462) partially guaranteed ($700,000) at signing (47.7%)   The #46 pick this year was Jonathon Brooks (coincidentally, the Colts original draft spot), to the Panthers. His contract is only guaranteed for the first two years, total of $4,914,107 guaranteed, which is 58.4% of the total value. At first, I thought this meant AD Mitchell's contract is pretty good, but apparently Brooks' contract is kind of bad. The next pick was Tyler Nubin (Giants), who has nearly all of his third year guaranteed. And last year, the #46 pick was Keion White (Patriots), and almost half of his third year was guaranteed. So Brooks seems to have undercut his guarantees. Some teams hold the line really well, so I was thinking maybe Carolina doesn't want guarantees in the third year, but they drafted Jonathan Mingo at #39 last year, and guaranteed almost half of his third year. Brooks probably could have done better if he had waited a few weeks.   The second round is kind of all over the place this year. There are still 11 guys unsigned, and a good number at the top and in the middle of the round. But all the way up at #40, Cooper DeJean (Eagles) only has $247k guaranteed in 2026, and his total percentage of guarantee is only 62.8%, so his contract isn't as favorable as Mitchell's. And then you have a few guys in the middle of the round -- like Jackson Powers-Johnson (Raiders, #44) and Edgerrin Cooper (Packers, #45) -- who have 2026 fully guaranteed (Cooper's is all but $76k).   But it's all going up. AD Mitchell has more favorable guarantees than Jonathan Taylor did when he was the #41 pick in 2020 (53.9%). Each draft class pushes it a little further than the previous class.
    • Let’s face it that third down catch against Baltimore in 2006 saved the game for us and loudest move on to play give me AFC championship game. He caught it in his elbow for a first down and we kick the subacute field goal which sealed the game. That is my favorite Dallas Clark moment, but watching him, catch the ball and run down the scene for chunk yards. It was amazing.
