Signing Nicks to one season is smart. Nicks has a history of injuries, and for Nicks, he says he wants to play for a team with a GOOD QB. Having a one year deal will allow Nicks to see if he and Luck gel together for a potential future contract. Nicks decision to resign after that may also depend on whether Wayne retires or not, as I'm sure Nicks wants to be a #1 receiver catching passes from Andrew Luck.

If Nicks plays like he's capable of he's essentially volunteering to play this year for us. If he doesn't, we're no worse off than we were last year.

If this move doesn't excite you, you're not paying attention.

Brilliant offseason:

 

Re-sign Bradshaw, a good RB when healthy

Sign Jackson, who was the best player on the Browns arguably and a position of need

Sign Jones, who is a DL on the rise who can rush the QB and stop the run.

Re-sign Davis, a good press cover cornerback

Sign Costa, who is a good, tough player who will either push Holmes to be good or he will take his job.  He can also play center.

 

I still would like to see another quality o-lineman, a safety, and another potential pass rusher.  But I would say this was a very good off season so far!

Great work by Grigs landing Nicks.  WR should not be the issue it was after Reggie went down last season.  With Allen, Bradshaw, Ballard, and Reggie all coming back, Luck will have his weapons for sure.  I'm really curious to see how much Luck and Hilton improve going into their third season,   To a lesser extent, I want to see how TRich runs behind a re-vamped O-line.

If Grigs lands Mack now, I would have to grade him at A+ for this off-season and that's before the draft!

How many draft picks do we have left for this year and what rounds are they :???:  Didn't we trade our first round pick on Richardson :dunno: Thanks in advance for the answer to my questions.

 

Friday is the day you want to watch if you pick just one.  We have both a 2nd and 3rd round pick.

Well, all I can say is he keeps swinging. 2 one year deals with Avery and DHB, and Grigson continues to rent 1 year options. I really hope this one works out for the sake of the Colts. He keeps trying and seems like the diametric opposite of Polian when it comes to free agency.

 

The 2nd round pick for Vontae Davis came with expectations and Vontae Davis met or surpassed it (occasionally). The 1st round pick for Trent Richardson comes with even higher expectations, and let us see how it plays out.

 

I would prefer he piles up some draft picks for future years because the draft is going to be key moving forward once the cap room dwindles with more and more free agents to re-sign (Castanzo, Luck, T.Y. etc.)

 

He is shrewd but I wouldn't call him an outstanding GM too soon. Lets talk the year after Luck is signed to his big contract and see where the team is then. How he manages things between now and then will be key to his GM legacy.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By ShuteAt168 · Posted

      Lol. Sure, I meant he ALWAYS makes those mistakes. I think you’re smart enough to know that I meant he’s made those mistakes enough that it’s kind of alarming to me. If you’re not alarmed, cool.

      If Eberflus was fired by Chicago would you want him back

      By John Waylon · Posted

      They do need an offensive mind, though. I said from the moment he was hired there that it was a move that was dead on arrival. Pairing a QB like Fields (and now Willams,) with a guy like Flus wasn’t productive for either side. Both of those QBs would benefit far more from having an offensive guy at the helm than a defensive one. A defensive coach needs to have a strong offensive staff in place to help those young QBs and Flus did not.    Fields is the perfect case in point: he landed in Pittsburgh with a defensive minded head coach who had a strong enough offensive support system to benefit him, and his career is starting to turn around for it.    Think of our own history, did the pairing of Andrew Luck with a defensive guy like Pagano do him any favors? Not really, and in the end it’s probably a big part of the reason that story turned out the way it did.

      Another disturbing fact

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      Its the defense he plays in and they funnel the ball carrier to Franklin. Leonard had tons of tackles and I wouldn't make to much of it when grading Franklin. Cross, I believe leads the league in tackles. Are you saying he is the best safety in the league? Franklin is a rugged and tough line backer but poor in coverage.

      Jonathan Taylor bypassed Marshall Faulk for #4 in all-time Colts rushing TD's

      I hear this but to my dying day I will maintain Payton far exceeded Smiths talent, and if Smith had to be on the garbage teams Payton was on for 80% of his career, he would be ranked in the 20s or 30s all time.  If Payton had Erik Williams, Larry Allen and Nate Newton blowing up d-linemen for him, he would have set the record impossibly high.    And once we add receiving and blocking ability the difference is even more stark.    Thanks, grew up watching WP… old man rant *off*

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      He is throwing some bad picks and all rookie qbs do, so I am not going to be that hard on him for those mistakes. The one thing that still impresses me is that he doesnt look lost out there. He is still making good reads but he just needs to calm down and make those simple throws. I truly believe that if he made those throws that 90% of qbs make. We would be saying he is having a pretty good year. If Richardson fails, I believe it wont be because of his ability to process. It will because after say three seasons or so, he is unable still to hit the broad side of a barn!!
