"@gmbremer: Luck starts the day with a deep completion to DHB. #ColtsCamp"

[CanuckColt]

He's in good shape, but can he run a marathon?

Ha, ha, ha....hilarious!

[Susie Q]

I hope they exercise caution Susie!  No doubt the fields are wet...weather just like at my house 20 minutes away....

I saw the other day that you posted you were 20 minutes away and didn't realize you were that close to Anderson.   Learn something new every day I guess.

[John Dee]

I heard Chap say a month or so ago Fleener was 10 lbs lighter...    and will be used accordingly.

Fleener looks like he's beefed up some from that pic. 

[Stephen]

Hopefully bey keeps it up

[CanuckColt]

It looks like Holmes is using a cane to avoid putting weight on his ankle, but I like that he is participating in the walk through

It looks like a crutch...

Both Allen and Fleener are playing in 4 WR sets.

I love that set up.  It's going to be a nightmare for a D that's gone to its nickel or dime package.

[Stephen]

Who are the two recievers is it bey and wayne

[Dustin]

Bey and Wayne primarily. Im guessing.

[Dustin]

When Havili is in, Allen comes off the field. Fleener stays in.

[Stephen]

Has havili done anything note worthy

[CanuckColt]

Both Allen and Fleener are playing in 4 WR sets.

Nice.   Allen, Fleener, Reggie, Hilton would be good.

I'm not to sure Andrew falls under the " elite" catagory yet .

Sure he does he was an elite rookie who shoulda got the Roy . 11-5  is how the Colts finished after all they were believed to be the worst team & would be celler dwellers . 12's rookie record was much better than 18's .

 

If anyone really believes that RG3 deserved the Roy & carried his team into the playoffs with no running game or swiss cheese for a offensive line then yeah your probably right . 

 

Then Luck may not be elite , IMO Andrew Luck did more with less then any other rookie & yes in my world he is elite .

Best rookie doesn't equal "elite." He's really good, and his future looks promising, but Luck still has a LOT to do moving forward to be included in that elite group.

[RomanianColtsFan]

You are right, wrong use of words on my part.

[Carlos Danger]

Toler escorted off of field

awww... dang it... hope its not serious

[Stephen]

He looks elite to me just needs to improve on completion percentage and td to int ratio. The poise he has in 2 minute drill is better than most elite qbs and he can make all the throws

[Dustin]

Luck: 17-22 0 TDs, 0 INTs

My opinion differs Andrew Luck  proved he was the elite rookie doing more with less

 

Elite amongst the rookies last year - Now he'll prove reasonably soon in the next 2 years that he is .

 

Its my story I'll spin it my way

Sure thing.

By the way, you don't need an "elite" quarterback to win a Super Bowl. Neither Flacco nor Eli Manning are elite in my book, but they are the winners of the last two Super Bowls. If we do all the things Irsay mentioned in his tweet, all we need is for Luck to be above average. And I think he can be that, for sure.

[ÅÐØNϧ 1]

You'll have to wait for the next cryptic Irsay twitter message, sorry.

 

Which don't make sense irsays tweet created a thread about nothing just jibberish  " the Whopper thread "  what was it 40 pages or more ?

 

I'm curious why start a new training camp thread daily ?

[Carlos Danger]

I like the daily camp thread..keeps it tidier, IMO

I take some of the blame for that, I suggested our Mod do it that way.  For me, it makes complete sense.  If you want to know what's happening on a particular date, you don't have to dig through a dozen pages to find it.

Flacco is a joke that will keep me laughing every time they lose & I expect a lot of losing in bankrupt Baltimore ..

 

Lil Bro Eli nothing special but he's done something Peyton still has'nt done .  When I think of Eli, Elite is not what i think but to be honest how many active QB's have 2 SB rings .

 

So Elite kinda depends on your point of view I'm sure Giants fans are happy he's there QB & That San Diego fans cry every time its mentioned & I'm sure Charger fans have my things they call Eli - Elite most likely is not one of them.

Although no TDs, that's a 77% completion percentage. We're all looking for improvement in this area and so far, I like what I see.

[Stephen]

Eli is clutch in playoffs average in reg season

[Coltswarriors]

Really can't afford to have Toler hurt.. Hope he's fine.

[Phil J]

Any word on Toler?

To me, "elite" isn't measured by rings.

[Pelt]

QFT. I always keep an eye on training camp (And the pre-season games for that matter), while also holding my breath. I don't want to see anybody getting hurt, much less key players.

[PrincetonTiger]

Thanks everyone for the practice updates

 

I had to help my Mom get her room ready at her new school.
