1yrdandacloudofdust Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 what's not "to get" about Brown? He proved to be the best RB the Colts had in 2013The best rb was injured and grigs traded a 1 for Richardson. No need to pay Brown if you're keeping Richardson. If Richardson isnt better than brown, then Trent needs to be cut now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMDColtsfan Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 We all know Ballard isn't a burner....so what? Doesn't mean he isn't a good back. If you don't like the guy, just say you don't like the guy.Have no problem calling it like it is and its not so much as not liking the guy.

I know Brown has had nagging injuries along the way but chances are Bradshaw will never be able to be relied upon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMDColtsfan Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Every time it looks like Brown may have a chance to get re-signed the haters show up. The man showed why he was considered a first round pick by the old regime. He`s a dynamic runner that finally got used by Pep in the right way. He`s no Adrian Peterson but he`s also not the non NFL caliber RB a lot on this forum make him out to be. 3 million a year for a difference maker is too much?

SOMDColtsfan Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I would much rather see a Ballard/Brown attack than Ballard/RichardsonThe only problem with that is the 1st rd pick given for Richardson. Cut losses? Grigson aint doing that. Satele was bad enough of a "miss" in free agency and they kept stubbornly plugging him in.

I think that continues if he doesn't pick it up next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever idea it is to start bad players at the detriment of the team instead of admitting mistakes and moving on.

CanuckColt Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Why can't we just let Donald walk and keep Bradshaw as our third guy.Because Bradshaw plays the game with reckless abandon and is an injury waiting to happen.Donald seems to have learned how to run effectively in the Colts O schemes.Richardson may (probably) prove to be his same old ineffective self again.

I think he will be better. And there's a handful of guys I think we could bring in who are equal to Brown in talent, and would be a lot cheaper. Richardson is our starter, and Brown isn't getting starter money here. Plus Ballard is returning, I see Vick being our #2 guy entering camp. I don't see a market here for Donald unless he takes a hometown discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Richardson hasn't earned a starter role and when he was handed it last year he wasted no time losing it. If he hasn't improved by next season then Grigson needs to swallow his pride and let whoever else is on the roster be the starter. There were threads each week with the Richardson supporters saying why they believed each game was gonna be his break out game, and it never happened. I dont think we should pay Brown or Bradshaw anything substantial, if they dont wanna play for small incentive based contracts then they should be let go. Ballard isnt going to be the answer either, he was never fast and now will more then likely be slower. We need to pick up quite a few UDFA runningbacks and maybe a few lower priced lesser known FA's. If Richardson hasn't figured out how to be an NFL runningback by next season then he never will. We need to have options in case this does happen because less then 3 ypc is going to really hurt the team. Odds are we will win the division, the other 3 teams are currently a mess. Thats all fine and dandy, but it won't help in the playoffs. We need a viable running game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroatianColtsFan21 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I would say that the signing of Muamba closes the the door on PAI would say that josh mcnary's good play closed the door on angerer.. even studebaker, as a very good special teamer and an emergency backup linebacker..

Narcosys Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'd rather have Bethea and Bradshaw resigned, Bethea is a key part of the secondary when he's playing well and Bradshaw plays like a beast when healthy. Key words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster360 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 At the end of the day, it all comes down to price. My opinion is that Brown will get a deal for around 3 years/13M. I don't want to keep him for that price. If we could get him for only 1M a year, then yea bring him back, but no way will he sign for that. Same goes for Bethea. I don't think he is worth the 4-5M a year some other team is going to give him. Again if we can get him for 1M a year, sign him back. I just know he won't take it. Bradshaw is not going to get any offers from any team. It took us quite a while to sign him last off season. He'll take whatever he can get, so give him vet minimum and some incentives. If he'll take it sign him back. He has high up side with high risk. Between richardson and ballard, he should be able to stay healthy while only having 10~ touches a game, then un leash him in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
