Just Heard Peyton Was Throwing The Ball Around To Receivers Today! (Merge)

Also, is it peculiar that the Colts have the day off today? I'm sure it has to do with the new rules in the CBA, but it used to be that the guys only got the day off on MONDAYS and ONLY if we won that Sunday. It's a TUESDAY and we LOST Sunday. Perhaps therein lies the problem: we're not practicing enough due to the new CBA rules.

It's funny. Prior to this season, I took Manning SO for granted. I thought he was impossible to injure, he would never miss a start, we would have him until he's 40+, etc. Boy how that has changed. This is excellent news. I will never take Peyton for granted again; I will cherish every single snap he takes with the Colts for the rest of his career.

+ 1 x 10^10

I share in your expression of appreciation!

Teams have always had Tuesday as their day off from practice.

14 minutes for the negativity to start. Unbelievable. If we can't be optimistic about this, what do we have to optimistic about? Sorry, but the thought of the G.O.A.T. making major strides toward returning excites me more than the prospect of drafting an unproven QB.

Im not negative but this isn't a major stride in his recovery, its just part of his recovery. Now if he threw a 40 yard fastball and hit Wayne in the numbers I would be estatic. But this is just a simple exercise.

I hope he's not done but this news doesn't mean anything. We probably wont know anything till late January. Knowing our luck, his status will be questionable until after the draft.

Yes you are correct, but you must start rehab somewhere & this is how it starts. If Peyton continues to improve & regain strength our Colts maybe golden again.

I totally agree. I just want him back on the field in 2012!!!

Okay...lets all calm down, yes it's nice he is throwing, but lets see him do it in back to back days and after a week or so without any physical issues. This is going to be a long process, Peyton is taking baby steps and lets not get to excited just yet.

Wow, 7 negatives so far for this post with a firm grip on reality? The truth can be unpopular. I agree, though, it's the only good news we've heard so far, but being allowed to begin low-impact throwing again in December was entirely predictable (search my posts for why).

Kinda like up here near Chicago when Michael Jordan retired and then came back..

Everybody watched every second of every game,..

....there was the realization that these guys will retire sooner than later..

NOBODY is saying it wasn't "predictable" just that we're relieved and thrilled that he's making his comeback. It's been a crap year, let us get excited about something!

    • Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.  
    • Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias. 
    • I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result. 
    • I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough. 
    • I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
