I understand the problem of learning the offense, but they asked Collins to do it - so I'm not ultimately buying it as an excuse. If Colts asked and Garrard refused, fine. I'd like to be all behind Painter. He was at Purdue when my son was attending. He CAN be good ... but he has been historically erratic. I hope he brings his "A" game to the quarterback starting role!

But you have to admit that Purdue plays in the Big Ten and most games they are outmatched in talent. It could have contributed to Painter's struggles. I think our team is still a top team talent wise, but the QB spot has been our major ail. Painter hasa top 5 NFL offense around him. Add that to the fact we are running the ball better and our o-line play is already better than years past and guys are still gelling and improving.

My point is Painter stands a better chance to be successful with the Colt's offense around him vs NFL teams, than with Purdue's offense around him vs Big Ten teams. I could be way off, but I hope I'm right and Painter settles our back-up QB for the future talk.

I'm just praying for a Brady like situation to happen. Did anyone really think when Tom Brady came in as a 6th round pick who didn't even play for Michigan he would be a future MVP? I sure the heck didn't, and the same could be said for Painter. No one has ever seen the guy play a whole game with an NFL top 5 first team offense. Let's wait until Tuesday to say he isn't the answer because what he showed on that last drive against Pittsburgh says he very well could be the answer.

      This is a rare type of person. He would give you his shirt off his back, his last dollar, etc.. if more people were like him this world would be a lot better place. Regarding football, he gives 100% too, if anything, he would make a good SP Teams player and a leader on that squad.

      I think Buffalo will have a down year as well but I still think they make the playoffs because of Josh Allen. Now if Rodgers is Rodgers of old, they won't get in.

      Cubs are just playing out the season now. They aren't any good. I have to say as a fan since 1984, this season ranks way up there as 1 of the most disappointing seasons ever to me.

      Indianapolis isn't the greatest place to live but it's far from the worse.    Huge advantages of living here: 1. Cost of living is cheap compared to a lot of other states. You can buy a house for 250,000 that has 3 bed rooms, 2 full bath rooms, 2 car garage, and mostly brick in a good neighborhood here. A lot of other states you would have to fork out 4 or 500,000 for that. Places like NY or Cali we are talking nearly a million.   2. Indianapolis is a good place to raise a family in the right neighborhood. It's pretty quiet here.   3. We really only have 3 months of winter = December, January, and February where we could get big snows or ice. Once mid March rolls around it gets a lot better.   4. We have every great steak house imaginable here and great Japenese and Chinese places.    5. We have the Colts here, an NBA team = the Pacers, WNBA team = Fever. All are now good. Colts were great for 2 decades.
