How is a 1st round pick not high? And my "get em outta here" remark is to anyone who cant handle pressure of the nfl. Not just werner in particular. But yeah we spent a quality 1st round pick on a pass rusher thats not living up to the name.

Some people just can't enjoy the game. No GM is perfect, get over it.

If Verner was taken in the 7th round, folks would be raving about his performance and what a find he was.  Some might even be talking him up as a steal that should have gone in the first round!  LOL. 

 

IMO, too many people get caught up in where a person was drafted.  It might then color their impressions of a players true performance NOW.  Personally, I really don't care where a person was drafted.  If he's on the team now, I judge his performance based on his play today and if there are better alternatives.  In the case of Verner (and TRich to a lesser extent), I think they are playing well and helping this team win.  The argument about their performance in relation to their draft position, is more a result of liking or hating the FO IMO.

well I guess the verdict has changed.

Vern deserves it. It's not just that game sealing sack-fumble. It's not just last weeks performance. He's gotten better every week, just as Jason said he would. 

 

I'm the only bust in this thread (well...me and several others  :D  )

Definitly has improved in terms of acceleraton off the ball, play recognition has much improved and it shows do to him not hesitating reading a play....read and react is much faster. Has to learn how to use his hands better but I like the improvement so far

His most impressive play last week wasn't either sack. It was a run stop in which he blew by the tackle, put his hand down and changed direction on a dime, and grabbed the back by the legs to make the play. Just a tackle, not even for a loss, but that play showed me the burst, change of direction, acceleration and ability to finish that I wasn't sure he had.

      Yeah, Ebukam almost looks clumsy next to Latu. He's just so fluid.

      How many games will the Colts win in 2024?

      By Chucklez · Posted

      Did Hou actually get that much better? This really does remain to be seen. I am of the opinion that the signing of Diggs is a signing that has been made about 2 years too late. He won't be bad, but he isn't a top 10 WR in the NFL anymore. I wouldn't put him as any more dangerous that Pittman, so WR's are a push. We have the better RB, Mixon is great and all, but he is not JT. We have the better Oline, and it isn't even close. TE's are a push, we have a lot of upside, but until it is realised im very "meh" on our TEs. QB - I would argue that Stroud is probably more likely to regress to the mean in year 2 vs improve. That rookie season of his was a bit silly, and they had an easier schedule last season too. If he really does build on last year and get even better, then our entire discourse here is probably irrelevant as we will have another Mahomes level QB on our hands to deal with in the AFC and within the AFC South no less. So unless Richardson is also a Mahomes level talent in that scenario, we are done for anyways. To me, our success in this coming season comes down to 2 groups on this entire team. 1. The QB (because... duh) 2. Our DBs. If we even get average play from the DBs, I think this team has the ability to win the whole damned thing (supposing Richardson stays healthy and is what we all hope he is). I would also argue that Houston are paper thin. If they lose a OL starter, Mixon or even one of their starting WRs.... they have a very big drop off. And injuries happen in the NFL. Just sayin...

      What about Leonard at safety?

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      If he wasn’t fast enough or athletic enough anymore for linebacker, then he’s not going to be able to cut it at Safety where speed , quickness, athleticism are even more important.    Wish it wasn’t so….

      Man I love me some Maniac, but it won't happen, and he's too slow after his surgeries.
