Im not liking these signings

I am not going to bash Grigson at all. A lot of fans say they don't like this or that but I have faith in Grigson. If all of these signings don't work out that wouldn't be that unusual. I understand everyone wanting a big name but most of the time these big names never work out. For some reason too many fans think the Colts needed help all over the place. Well the Colts didn't get a 11-5 record by being all that bad. Grigson's draft was very strong and I think his judgement on talent should not be questioned till it all works out. There seems to be a lot of fans who think they know more than Grigson. Well he didn't get to be the GM of the year by making bad choices.

I haven't read the whole thread, so it might have been said, but can we get these thoughts out of our heads?

 

Ok, so the last part was just because the rest rhymed. What I wanted to say was "...can why just say that perhaps the 'sources' who were talking prior to free agency, at least about the Colts, were a bunch of bunk?" Look, it doesn't seem the Colts really wanted Vasquez, who they were really after. Maybe they didn't really want Kruger or Avril or Levitre or any of the big names we all heard."

 

Perhaps it's not the Colts who missed, but the talking heads and 'sources' who got it all wrong. I've advocated an approach like this since the Dolphins first year turn around under Parcells (before that went down the chute the next season or so). Parcells signed good football players, not marquee names, to build an entire team. With the exception of Walden being overpaid, the rest fits that mold greatly. Cherilus is one of the top paid RTs, yes, but that's because Luck is the base of the team. Smart, quality non-name players make a better team than two or three big name guys. Look at the Pats in their Super Bowl heyday - a few marquee names, a remarkably rounded team. That's what I think will always work - a bunch of good guys with a few great guys.

I didn't realize you were an expert who should be working in a front office somewhere. I bow down to you.

I appreciate the response, but I think it's misplaced. I'm not saying he's overpaid for his talent, but overpaid for that philosophy. I never claimed otherwise, but I can see where that lacked clarity.

This is the second time this logic has been used on me, I'll repeat the same theme - you're saying I'm not a football coach so can't give my opinion on players? Well, both positive and negative opinions are opinions, so on the same track logic not allowed to give opinions either, positive or negative. Think Reggie had a great year? Tough, you're not a coach, you're not allowed opinions.

    • Yes, I know. The Stanford teams  when Hogan was the starting QB were full of top recruits on offense and defense. It was so much fun being a fan then. I'm not as big a fan of Stanford as you are. Being on the East Coast makes it hard to follow them as much as I used to.   Overall, I am becoming less and less interested in sports. For over 20 years, I used to listen to sports radio whenever I had free time.  I used to follow tennis, golf, baseball, college basketball, a little NBA and NHL as well as NFL and college football. I once went to 20+ baseball games in a year.  The only sport I still follow religiously now is NFL football. I try to follow my favorite baseball team, the Mets, but not enough. I attribute my loss of interest to there being too much change and movement of players, coaches, teams, conferences, etc. Stanford is now part of the ACC! My goodness! (Shaking my head) I don't like all these changes in conferences.   I was a big fan of Ted Leyland, Stanford's former athletic director many years ago. It saddened me when Leyland left Stanford to go to the University of Pacific which was his alma mater. I see he retired. He hired Buddy Teevens who died last year. Back in those days, I followed Stanford football a lot more closely. They were not great years but I loved rooting for players who also excelled in the classroom.   TL;DR 😉
    • Oh I think they are ready. They are right in the thick of it. Well educated and smart women. They are more in tune with the Indianapolis Colts than all of the new ownership in the league is with their respective franchises. I'm not concerned in the least with these ladies taking over moving forward. I think it's a great thing and speaks to the stability that the organization is preaching and looking to build. 
    • I'm out this year. I'm going to be focusing on my bestballs and daily fantasy. I already have $400 invested and am making a concentrated effort this year to win some money.
    • I got the email but I’ll put it here too, I’m in.
    • The Pacers should draft Lebrons kid if he is available in the second round.
