Kerry Collins Placed On Ir (Merge)

[John Dee]

I guess it only took them 7 weeks to admit they made a mistake, nice work guys...hey I could use $4M too just send me a check

Collins signing, Gonzo still on the roster, Sanders.... this front office really needs to get it together.

[smittywerb]

This just tickes me off. Wasted time and money we don't have.

[bayone]

In his three starts, Collins added 481 yards to his career passing total, enough to leapfrog Joe Montana for 10th on the all-time list. Collins has 40,922 career passing yards. At $4 million in compensation for 2011, Collins also made $1.33 million per game.

Why did we sign a retired QB when we have a highly evaluated Curtis Painter in stock?

Coaching team didn't put its trust in him, or is he highly evaluated, but worth less???

[19colt]

Coaches + Front office blew the season on this call. If Painter starts week one then the Colts likely win vs Steelers and Browns and could be hovering around .500 right now.

Colts Send Kerry Collins To Injured Reserve.

Oh no the season is lost!!! rotfl

[number28]

are you serious? for a mild concussion?

or is this just a corrupt FO move to allow Painter play all season?

Lol, Front Office thinks the fans are stupid and clueless. I smell corruption.

Wow , i am sure Jim Irsay can't be thrilled with this news, but I am also sure that Kerry C will be smiling all the way to his deer stand.

[WSO]

[number28]

Not that I have seen, his cash now. Not a bad day at the old ball yard. Edited October 26, 2011 by LUVTHESHOE

Players get hurt. It happens.

[jskinnz]

That said what?

[chad72]

4 mil. this year with an optout after that. We are on the hook for only $4 mil., if I remember right

[chad72]

The colts have never been in this situation and they were panicking lol... bringing collins in was one of the worst decisions the colts have made in the past 5yrs... thats easy to say because they havent made many... who knows, if collins was never here the colts may not have been in this debacle

good point, maybe the players did'nt like the treatment of painter from the get go.

Probably after the patriots game. Caldwell will look clueless on the sidelines again and BP will be doing idk....
