Harnish is horrible, probably worse than Curtis Painter. If we ever lose Luck, we're in big trouble anyway.

Your wrong!!! Harnish is okay in the pre season

I think Satele could be a better Quarterback than Painter.....

I thought 2011 would have taught Colts fans the reason why you pay for a good back up QB.

 

 

Ehhh ....that roster in 2011 couldn't have produced more than 5-6 wins even with a good back up. Not sure last year's team would have won too many games with Hassleback at QB. Now this year could be a different story as the roster should be pretty solid up and down.

How much would cutting Laron Landry, and Erik walden save?

And Greg Toler?

You do realize if we done that(and we won't) but even if they did, they would have to be replaced too. Who ya gonna replace them with? They would have to be cheap and then we would be worse off than before. Can you people that keep suggesting this nonsense just use your brains for a few seconds and realize just how dumb this releasing players idea really is?

Cutting our backup QB Matt Hasselbeck would save us 2.25 million dollars. Would this be a smart idea? Is Harnish a good enough backup to Luck? 

 

I'm not sure we should cut Hasselbeck but honestly i could see it happening, would allow us more flexibility on the open market. 

There is no chance of this happening. We're a playoff team and we need an experienced backup.

You could replace all of them with rookies and wouldnt even notice. Maybe sign a vet to replace Toler

Yeah, you say that now, but when they started screwing up during the season, you'd be throwing a fit and saying how dumb Grigson was for releasing our veterans during the off season.

I don't think it is worth to keep a backup for 2.2 mil.  That's a lot of money.

May be recently released  Brandon Weeden can be brought in to replace Hasselbeck IMO.

Sure he sucks as a starter but he is well known to Chuzinski and may just be fine as a capable backup.

Plus he won't cost much and is much younger. It will be a low risk investment for the Colts.

Dumb, for two reasons.  One, Harnish, the would be backup, has never played in a NFL regular season game.  Two, Hasselbeck is a great mentor for Luck.  If we keep Hasselbeck, I think that Andrew Luck will get better than he would if we cut Hasselbeck.

Howell could definitely play Landry's spot. And Toler misses so many games, it would be impossible to miss him. And Walden, LoL.

 

please enlighten us on what Walden was supposed to do that he didn't.  In what aspects of his position responsibilities did he fail to live up to your expectations?

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.

      What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.
