As you know, when Hasselbeck signed a two-year contract with the Colts a year ago,  he said he was going to retire after the 2014 season.

 

Well...   that season is fast approaching and it appears Matt is having 2nd thoughts on ending his long career....

 

Here's a story I found on ESPN.com.....

As long as he wants to stay, and he's got an affordable price, I'm all for bringing him back....

Well that is not good. 

What's not good that he might come back? Not sure how I feel about it either can he stay play if he had too? He is a great mentor and all that but he has to be able to play to be the back up QB that is kind of important.

Probably thought he meant he's considering retiring before this season, that was what I assumed.

I want to see more of Chandler Harnish actually, but i like Matt.

Even though we have seen very little of Harnish, exclusively in the preseason really, I think he looks better than Painter ever did.... and Painter sat behind #18 for how many years?

problem with keeping hasslebeck another year is we would have to release harnish. after three years on the ps you arent eligible 

 

I don't mean to be a jerk,  but is that really a problem?

 

Who knows,  perhaps after this year, Grigson will think Harnisch is ready to be the back-up?

 

I doubt it,  but strange things can and do happen........

 

I would think they'd prefer to keep Hasselbeck,  but you never know......

Do you really think Harnish is worth keeping?  He's spent a lot of time on practice squad and he's never once been signed by another team.  

 

I don't think he has a future a back up here.

My 5 year old throwing a football looks better than Painter. 

Preach my brother Preach! I'd sign your son to a 1 year deal right now if it guaranteed that Painter would never wear a blue or white jersey ever again & you can quote me on that too.  :lol:

 

Painter sends a chill down my spine worse than the scariest horror movie I have ever seen. It's even worse than I first see my reflection every morning in my bathroom mirror. It ain't pretty man...

I like Matt he is a good insurance policy!

Exactly right gentlemen!  :thmup:  I've always liked Hasselbeck...smart, funny, knows his role, a great mentor, makes me wish I'd look as good as Matthew does bald, & I know I always say this, but it's true: He was robbed of a SB ring in 2005 at Ford Field in Detroit. I wanna see Matthew retire as a NFL World Champion QB.

The Colts FO should not re-sign him to a deal like the one he signed last year. It was rich, but the insight and depth he provided was valuable.

 

After next year, he'll be older and he won't be as valuable as a mentor. Wouldn't mind seeing the Colts draft someone in the later rounds.

 

Either way, happy to have him aboard this season.

      Practice Squad

      By Indianapolis-Colts-Fan · Posted

      The criteria is the Colts want to keep you but you’re a fringe player. It all comes down to how much the Colts like your nephew. He could surprise and if he does they may not want to put him on the PS out of fear of losing him to another team. The good thing is the Colts love their oline players, and will keep lower level draft picks/UDFA lineman over other positions. There’s quite a few later round guys the colts have kept on that have shown to be pretty good level guys with bright futures.    there’s not really any criteria for being signed to the PS other than they want to see how much better a guy can get over there.    most of the time, an older guy is either ineligible for the PS because of how many games he’s started, or it’s not worth it because you see what the guy is over what he can become (as he’s been in the league a while).   odds are the younger guy gets signed to the ps over the older guy.

      Remember all those years we watched Mannings fluttering passes downfield? 100 Int's even over his 1st 5 seasons. Not counting many Playoff interception disasters.  No flutters for AR ! Just less closing time for the D.

      I just read the article on Stampede Blue.  It’s an old clip of him dunking.     I’m pretty sure they told him not to do that during this time.  He did say he’d be throwing with the guys.

      Practice Squad

      By JMichael557 · Posted

      I am always impressed with the knowledge on this forum so I thought I would ask a question about the practice squad as opposed to trying to figure it out on my own.   We have a UDFA Dalton Tucker on the OL (Guard Tackle) Currently listed as 3rd team behind Q and Stills. He is my nephew-in-law and a great young man. He is a good OL with a lot of flexibility or otherwise the Colts would not have signed him. However would be a very long shot to make the team at this time due to the returning player and two OL draft picks.  The question is how many OL do we normally keep on the Practice Squad and what are the criteria? In all my years of following the Colts have just not paid attention to the details. If it came down to Stills or Dalton for the PS is Stills or Pinter eligible and would you put a more veteran player on the PS or would you prefer a younger player assuming you thought he could develop? Pay-wise do all PS players get the same? I also understand that PS players attend home games on the sidelines and practice with the team since they are designated as practice squad. Any information is appreciated as I will be following this aspect a lot closer this fall.

      I thought he said he wasn’t going to play BB?  How old is that video?
