ColtCrazy Walk On

Say he ends up in San Francisco. How many would buy a Manning 49ers jersey? I will definitely admit I would become a fan (not as much as the Colts mind you) of any team that gets him because I would love to see him make one more post season push. Even if that means cheering for the Cowboys! I feel a little dirty just saying that.

Say he goes to the Texans or Jags you still going to pull for a post season push since it would probably come at the expense of the Colts?

If Manning let I would probably cheer for him in games against anyone but the Colts but I would be a Colts first and foremost (not saying you wouldn't be)

the only way peyton wins a super bowl with Indy is that he returns 98% of where he was before, -- health and capability-wise, AND we trade the Luck pick for some bad-a.r.s.e. defensive players and throw the Tampa-turd defense out the f.r.i.g.g.i.n. sliding window at L.O.S.

Now, do I want to miss out on Luck, no, but a Super Bowl and Manning only co-exist with the above premise.

Colts will always be my number one. But I couldn't help but make Manning's team #2. But maybe, just maybe, I won't have to make that choice. We will see.

This is all assuming that PM can play in 2012. If he cannot, he won't be on any team....well, maybe Irsay will take him even if he cannot play, considering he has done it before.

You know, players get paid all of the time after injuries. Peyton would still have gotten that much on IR, so I don't understand why everyone makes such a big deal about it. It's not like it would've been a smart move to release Peyton this past August.

Yes, players get put on IR all the time.

However, Peyton is not on IR. Yet with the common knowledge that he has had multiple surgeries in his neck, and that he is still rehabbing his throwing arm, what NFL team will sign him without assurance that he can throw all the throws necessary? Do you think that NFL teams will just waive their team medical clearance necessary to sign new players for him?

No, I'm referring to the common complaint I see on here that Irsay paid him for not playing in 2011.

He's not going anywhere. Sorry for those of you who want him gone; it's just not happening.

I really don't believe anybody on here could want to see him gone, but some understand it is areal possibilty. I recall some saying there was no way Caldwell or polian would be gone either. no names mentioned.

I count about 5 posters who seem to really prefer that he was gone.

I think most of them like me feel there is some risk,reward to be weighed out. You have to admit a mistake here could set this franchise back years. I am one that believes PM has been payed dearly and that he will do a insentive deal elsewhere,then he owes to the Colts to do it here.

No, there's a few who have said they are ready to move on regardless.

      Pick #46/ #82 What's Available Day 2? Discussion

      By krunk · Posted

      One name that everybody on this forum has ignored is Xavier Weaver from Colorado. He's got the right height and runs close to 4.3. I watched pretty much every Colorado game bc of Deion. He is a pretty good deep threat if we don't take anybody in round 2. Good with the ball after the catch as well.

      Turner weighs about 15 lbs less. Think Ngauake. Do yourself a favor and checkout the weight of the best DE's. There is a power element when you are fighting with a 315-325 LB tackle.    Latu is an interesting specimen. He is not at all ripped with his upper body. With his shirt off at the combine I considered him comparatively whimpy.    And watching game tape his attack I found that I couldn't quite tell why he was so successful. I have since watched him training and had media that I could slow down.   Perhaps because he isn't muscle bound he is very flexible. He does get low with a twist and knee bend and remains smooth. And he does it quickly.  This is Elite.  So i'm watching his attack with his arms and I will describe it like a fierce swim, windmill thing, both arms swinging forward, and it sure looks like the tackles can't time a defense to the motion. Yet he seems to, letting him knock their hands down with precision,, then he instantly drops his shoulder and bends and explodes around them.   He certainly isn't muscled up like the freak Joey Bosa, but against college players it sure looks very similar.   His upper body isn't thick but watching him run through the heavy bags he hits them really hard with a compact motion. He is physical and plays fast.  Let's hope he once and for all allows Ballard to take the dunce hat off regarding DE.

      Around the three minute mark, he starts talking about being medically retired by Washington. He got injured, and while he was still working through his options for surgery and recovery, the program told him they were going to medically retire him. Before he got the surgery! He has the operation, then goes out and plays rugby two months after a cervical fusion. That's the Poly way. He had an offer from a pro rugby team in Seattle, but turned it down to keep playing football.    So yeah, it's right to be concerned by the fusion and his recovery, but it's seeming like the medical retirement was overblown because of how Washington chose to handle it.

      In fantasy world we could get DeJean with second round pick and trade third and whatever it takes to get Aiyuk. Think that would qualify as a home run draft.
