I'd rather have him as a #2 and have a true #1. The offense would be truly dangerous in that scenario. I don't know how to acquire that future #1. The WR Free Agent class doesn't seem to be talented and I'm not quite sure about the WR talent past Watkins and Lee in the draft this year. 

I might be biased, but I would say look at Cody Latimer from IU, the kid is an absolute stud and has good size at 6'3. Allen Robinson from Penn State looks really good to me too. Both of them are Juniors, but both could possibly leave for the draft early as well

We won't know how good Hilton is until the O line can give Luck enough time to let his receivers get open.  How Andrew finds his receivers with D linemen hanging on him is unbelievable.  He really is one fine QB.  Colts are gonna love having him around for a long time.

Or if we are looking into trading up this year to a late first round/early second round pick, Jordan Mathews from Vanderbilt and Brandon Coleman from Rutgers are really good. One is 6'3" and one is 6'5", can't remember which is which, but Mathews is a little bit better than Coleman.

How good do you think he can be? I truly feel he can be a future #1 receiver similar to Welker, he's not there yet, he needs to become more consistent, but I think it was a steal getting him in the late 3rd round, and might be Grigson's most underrated move trading up to get him

 

I see him as a Mike Wallace type of player.  I think that's his ceiling.  Of course he might be close to as good as Mike Wallace is already.

I think it's really, really high.

 

He's fast, we all know that, but the rate at which his route running and hands have improved in about 20 games as a pro has been phenomenal.

 

I mean, how many of us, when we drafted him, just thought of him as a speedy slot guy who we can throw a bomb to once in a while?  Sure, we do that plenty, but he's already so much more than that.

Love TY and honestly think he could be a #1 in this offense. I think it would be important that Luck has Allen and Fleener or other big targets for this to happen though since TY is a little guy, but he is very explosive and his route running and hands are getting better and better.

 

TY is a game-changer. There are not many game-changers in this league that don't play the QB position, but TY is one of them. Maybe I am drinking the Kool-Aid after a big win yesterday and a big showing by the guy, but I really do think he is special and will be Luck's top weapon for years to come a la Manning/Harrison.

I don't think that Welker is really a true #1 -- Welker and TY are similar in that they can both stretch the field and do a lot of damage in tight spaces.  I think TY has a little bit more 'big play' ability than Welker, but I think TY needs a few weapons around him to get him the mismatches that make him so dangerous.

      Steelers Colts Predictions

      Seems like this team gets a lot of untimely injuries that come out of nowhere. Smith and Kelly, Lewis injuries just appeared out of nowhere. None of those injuries were even mentioned after the Bears game.

      Yep. He must of woke up Thursday with it. I assume Pinter will play center if he can’t go. That tackle slot is worrisome if smith can’t go. The defense is looking ridiculously banged up.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By Boondoggle · Posted

      QB is hard.  It's easy to sit back and expect guys to look like Marino but every QB has a different ceiling and a different path to that ceiling.  And again getting there is a long and tough road and the toughness in that road includes everything from injuries to quality of the team around them.   Richardson still looks like the guy we saw on tape in college.  He is an elite run threat who can put the ball anywhere on the field, but his consistency in ball placement is not good.  I used to believe that can't be fixed.  Until Josh Allen.  Now these types of QBs are guys teams will take a flyer on, because of supply and demand, and the immense impact if you can hit on one of them.  But here we are and he's still the same QB, which is a bit of a concern to me at this point.   It's not like he doesn't still have time to get his game in order.  He does.  And even if he fails in Indy he'll have another chance with another team due to his talent level.  So it's still too early to get all crazy about where he's at.   For myself I'll say what I keep saying about him: he needs to learn to move the offense from the protection of the pocket.  That is how you have a long career and end up in the Hall with a million passing yards.  If he does not develop that part of his game the end result will be his teams will use his legs to move the offense and he'll get hurt and miss time and demonstrate why RBs have such a short shelf life.  So his career is in his hands.  He has to learn and do it or he'll suffer the results.
