of the four teams left

[love the shoe]

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 .

[GoDeep]

He is a hero. He got us Luck!

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.

Yeah only if we had beaten NE I think we would've won the Lombardi this year. We beat the three remaining teams granted it was regular season but we could've pulled it off. Next year hopefully we get better results

Gotta love him lol. More than happy he played a big part in us landing Luck

[SteelDragon]

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.

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.

I have been a Colt fan for 40 years there have been some horrible years, usually when we had no QB or a good one got hurt!!

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

  

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.
