It seems to me that Grigson and co are looking to build a team very similar to the Cowboys of the early 90's, Troy Aikman=Andrew Luck, Emmit Smith=Trent Richardson, Reggie Wayne and Hopefully Ty Hilton and DHB in the future= Mike Irvin, decent middle of the pack defence If we can just improve our Oline to at least mid range talent in the next 2 years.... I am really excited about this team in the next 5 years, not saying it will happen this year, but personally I predict 1 superbowl within 3 years and 2 or 3 within 6 years.

Early 90's Cowboys? Try the '99-'06 Colts. Peyton, Edge, and Marvin 2.0.

The only problem, don't mean to be a downer, by the time this thing starts to roll, and I believe it will.  In five years our great rookie class and now TRich will have to be paid.  There probably will not be enough money to go around, just speculating I guess.

We don't look anything like those Cowboys.  Luck and Richardson are very physical players who have no problem with contact.  Aikman and Smith avoided contact like the plague.  Cowboy receivers were over 6'3" tall and liked to push off, while our guys are shorter and faster.  Wayne is a better technician than any of them.  I've always said that Deion Sanders and Larry Allen are why they won Super Bowls and we don't have anybody like them.

      Taking a poll on Richardson and everyone's views...

      By #12. · Posted

      Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.

      How can you watch Colts games with so many injuries to top players?

      Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias.

      Richardson day to day with abdominal, oblique injuries

      By ColtAndOrioles · Posted

      I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result.

      I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough.

      I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
