Recommended Posts

Just thinking this morning  we have wins over the 49ers ,Seahawks and the Broncos this year. The only team being the Patriots left that has a w over us. Not too shabby. This team will be ok going forward ,I can feel it ,will just take some time. I will never forget the awful season 3 years ago so remember that colt fans. There are a lot of teams like that every year , we are not one .

man he was bad

Just for comparison through Painters first 8 starts and Lucks and Mannings

 

Painter- 6 TD's 9 Ints 54.7 completion percentage

Luck-55.5 completion percentage 8 TD's, 8 Ints

Manning-55.1 completion percentage 11 td's 16 Int's

 

All pretty bad statistically through 8 starts

 

Its really called...Being a rookie.....Learning the mental aspect of football is a process, Some pick it up quicker then others, some not at all, some get drafted into bad situations

Was he a rookie?

Also he didn't win any games. So I would say there is a distinction on when you are bad. Luck was good when it counted late in games. Painter? Ehhh not so much lol.

I wonder how he would characterize his tenure here with the Colts.  He has been absolutely thrown to the wolves from his first play on the field(a sack against the NY Jets that would blow our 14-0 season) all the way through the 2-14 debacle of 2011.  But then again, he's collected an NFL paycheck for several years without having NFL talent.

He is a hero. He got us Luck!

 

Hey, Painter was a good luck charm for the Giants too once they signed him. He helped them go 0-6 just by being on the bench :) and now they will get another pass rusher in the draft in the middle of the draft. You want a high draft pick, you sign Curtis Painter.

Who could forget Hippie Longstocking?

I was a much more casual fan at the time.  I'm pretty sure I mixed him and McAfee up a few times.   :oops:

  

I found an old article from the 2011 preseason.  It says he had a QBR of 9.8 at that time.  Throwing Painter in there was never going to work.  There was no way he was ever going to measure up to Peyton.  

I sort of feel bad for the guy.  Sort of.  That goes away after I remember how much he gets paid to fail.

    • Been having an on going conversation with a bunch of people throughout the year and even prior about what the Pacers need.     I think the answer is clear, we need to keep as many core pieces together and keep building. We are in the conference finals and have just as good a chance as the other 3 teams have to finish the title run.   We will be getting Mathurin back, who I think is the 4th most important piece we have. Walker is going to be a stud, so I expect a big jump from him.   Pascal - gotta bring him back Toppin - have to bring back or use in S+T for George?(Just throwing out a name) McDermott - hopefully ring him back on the cheap?     Jalen Smith - has player option(I'm good either way)   Then some 2way and back the roster guys who will likely be resigned.(Wong, Brown, Tshiebwe)     If we lose Toppin, who is a RFA, I think Walker can in all likelihood cover that role and probably more completely.   However like I said above, if we can draw another big name like George in, Toppin more than likely would have to be included for salary purposes in a S+T.       Anyway that's conversation for later.   On to:
    • There were some stuff on other sites, not this one. Especially the morning after. Sorry for the confusion
    • That is not what I meant to convey. I rephrased it to clarify what I meant to say
    • The WNBA is loaded with talented deep teams. Literally have played 2 of the best teams in the league(one, twice), in the first 4 games(so 3 out of 4). Not sure about the first team, but she picked up 2nd foul on a pretty bad call early in the game to out her on the bench. * refs, how do you call such a weak call on the main draw in their first game, I'm sure the league gave the refs a little push back afterwards.   It will take time for her to adjust and this team to compete with the top teams, who have built super teams and/ or been together for longer. I think I heard something like the fever had only been together for like 30 days or something?   The WNBA is loaded with talent, definitely one of the hardest leagues to make. 12 teams x 12 players - 144 players        There has been a lot of hate out there, this tweet below sums it up pretty well.     To hear all these current WNBA players trash talking her is crazy.   She has literally energized the market and games are selling out or close to. All that is going to do, is put more money in everyone's pocket. They need to be protecting her out there rather than trying to break her in half with a "who can screen her the hardest challenge".     She needs to cut down on the turnovers, but the Fever looked a lot better last night in the second matchup against that team. Probably should've won it, but they will improve as the season moves along and will take a year or two before they can compete with NY/LV type of teams.
    • He is a pass first QB but they are going to run the RPO and he's going to run ,so brace yourself.
