There was more but meh, this is all we care about. One less body to worry about. Fully strength more or less minus the Sheriff.

You had to go there! I like Jon Gruden, and I'm thrilled that he admires Peyton, but every-time he uses that stupid expression I cringe. Once was amusing. After 20 times per game I get embarrassed for him.

hopefully kerry can develop chemistry with him fast!

[CollieFangirl]

Woohoo! I was worried about him. Cannot wait to see him back on the field Thursday, it's been way too long since his last game. Thanks for sharing the news!

Collie probably wont have a chance to get a concussion this game, cause I highly doubt he will be effective. The coaches will tell Collins to go with the run game and when passing, to look for playmaking threats in Wayne and Clark.

Man, this is going to ruin my week 1 fantasy (yea sorry Foster, I'm a sick ****).

I think they should be very careful with how they use Collie.

I don't want him getting hurt in anyway again, and I think Collin's will be great if he has time in the pocket.

He's not 18 who can throw it in a flash, and his throwing motion isn't nearly as quick as Peyton's..

[wercolts]

Collie is a play making threat, start him.

[Edge0914]

I think Collie has a real future in this league and I hope its entire while wearing the horseshoe. I think he'll be incredibly effective because he is a great down the seam reciever, which is what collins is gonna need, someone who gets into that wide opening.

Hello everyone. I just read on stampede blue that 1260 Wnde radio station in Indianapolis reported that a source very reliable said that Peyton is out for the season and that a procedure / surgery has been done again. Also colts have not confirmed or denied the report. I don't know what too think. I guess until I see Peyton himself say it or polians say its true.

I dont think the colts need to tell collins who to throw the ball to, throw the ball to whoever is open. if they cant catch they dont deserve to be on the team. But yea collins doesnt have peytons accuracy so i dont expect him to be throwing any balls before the receivers look, we'll have to see how that plays out.

You'd better only listen to Peyton himself. Polians would not like to tell you what is really going on. Irsay's twitter is also a reliable source, remember how he kinda talked about how difficult it is to keep the good time a couple of days ago, he already knew it...

This is great news. I do think Collie will do well with Collins, but certainly not as well as he did with Peyton. Once Peyton comes back, I'm picking Collie up in my fantasy league

[21isSuperman]

Merged the two Collie threads together. One of them did also mention Collins being named starter, but the discussion was focused mostly on Collie.
