Poor Rex Grossman, he never gets any respect now does he? :lol: Cue comedian Rodney Dangerfield...

No respect, I tell ya! No respect!

Grossman EARNED that lack of respect, though! Mark Sanchez is giving Rex a run for his money, though. Finding new and incredible ways to help his team lose week in and week out. :D

That being said, I'm eternally grateful to Rex Grossman. I'm equally grateful to the Bears for not having a legitimate QB when we faced them in the Super Bowl. It's nothing short of amazing how they got there IN SPITE OF Rex. Pretty solid team/defense right there.

I ran out of likes MOW....Grrr! Why is their a limit on likes anyway? Major bummer. I'm torn about former Chicago Bears QB Rex Grossman though. His name is always used as an excuse/crutch to explain why the Colts won the SB in 2006. Like the rain or Brian Urlacher played no obstacle or deterrent in this game at all. Just crazy IMO.

Okay, maybe ball security was an issue for Mr. Grossman, but Peyton Manning had to play in the rain too and he won the game. My point is: The weather conditions were even for both NFL teams and INDY hoisted the Lombardi trophy in the end.

Oooh make no mistake, the Colts won that game (and the 2006 playoffs) by playing great football. I'm just glad that the Bears didn't have a better team. (More specifically, an O to compliment their D and special teams/the Hester show)

With a good QB, the Bears could have done better on O. If their O could keep pace, it very well may have come down to a special teams blunder.

In typical Colt fashion, we sucked at special teams and even gave up an opening kickoff TOUCHDOWN IN THE SUPERBOWL. Pretty sure we're still the only team to have done that. As such, I'm much less inclined to leave it up to things like that. (See Chargers special teams killing us, Saints SB although a bajillion things went wrong that game, Jets playoffs)

The point is, I'm grateful to Rex! Not making any excuses as to WHY we won. Regardless of their offense - OUR offense still schooled one of the best D's in football. With a QB who allegedly was a "dome QB" and sucks in foul weather. Manning stunk in that ONE BLIZZARD against the D OF THE DECADE, but seemed to have little problem beyond that. And shut up a lot of people.

We got that 2006 championship (finally) and we're keeping it darn it! lol

    • Wilson IMO is too much like Downs. Not sure we would want to pick another predominantly slot player.    IMO the players that make the most sense at WR are - AD Mitchell, Ladd(he again plays a bit of slot, but he's also a bit more versatile, he's played about 75% of his snaps in other alignments), Troy Franklin - he can be a Z for us... Jermaine Burton?!? if he's cleared character-wise?? I like Malik Washington but he's predominantly slot too so not sure he's a fit here.    BTW... this guy is projected as a day 3 pick... but because of the general lack of that type of player after Troy Franklin(fast Z) I can see him being pushed up... maybe get drafted mid-late R3 - he's like budget version of Xavier Worthy- Anthony Gould.    Maybe DeVontez Walker? Although he had such a bad Senior Bowl, I'd be surprised if Ballard goes for him. 
    • While having 6 QBs go in the first 12 picks pushed some talent towards us... it probably also contributed to it being extremely hard for Ballard to trade up. It's just way too hard to make teams move away from QBs or to outbid teams who are bidding for their QB. I think 5 was probably our best chance for trade up... Arizona reportedly completely shut down any offers - they just wanted MHJ and they took him. 5 was probably our best chance, but it probably was way too steep of a price. Giants probably didn't want to move from Nabers, division rival Titans not great trade partner, Atlanta... wanted a freaking QB for some reason?!?!? Then Bears got their dream player drop to them and IMO that was probably the last chance we had. 
    • I wouldn't mind if we traded up early if we picked one of these three players: 1. Texas A&M LB Edgerrin Cooper 2. Iowa CB Cooper DeJean 3. Texas WR Adonai Mitchell
    • Round 2/3 Wishlist 1. Texas A&M LB Edgerrin Cooper 2. Iowa CB Cooper DeJean 3. Texas WR Adonai Mitchell 4. Rutgers CB Max Melton 5. Michigan LB Junior Colson 6. Western Kentucky WR Malachi Corley 7. Minnesota S Tyler Nubin 8. Iowa State CB T.J. Tampa 9.Oregon WR Troy Franklin
    • Finally CB drafted a Edge with production, not only high RAS. But then it's a guy with big injury concerns. Anyway....any player can get a serious injury on any given play. So, welcome to Indy! Give everything you have on the field and stay healthy!   Gotta find a DB and WR in round 2. Think DeJean is still on the board?! Round 2 is probably where his value is.
