I'd rather have not spent our first on a kr/pr...

 

Like what Grigson and Pagano said last night, Dorsett was drafted to play WR first. He also adds to the return game which is clear now.

How long did TY last as a KR before he turned WR full time? TY is probably the better returner of the two since he has experience doing it at FIU.

Yeah T.Y. is probably better but I would rather not have T.Y. return punts/kicks....

Dorsett did return at MIA too. And preferably I'd rather him than Hilton back there. Hilton is way more valuable to the team at this point

If you think he is just a kr/pr then I suggest you do a little fact finding. There are quite a few web sites that explain a lot of things to those who are lacking in football knowledge. :console:

Not going to lie. I was excited about him when we signed him. He started off pretty good but damn things changed. He was a huge liability. Dorsett should hopefully fill that spot, maybe even with D'Joun Smith too.

I remember on Cribbs very first return with us, he had a potential TD that was called back on a ticky-tack call. This isn't unusual for Cribbs, who has bad luck in this regard on past occasions. Regardless, I thought this would be the start of something special. Then he started doing tons of bone-headed plays where he simply refused obvious fair catch situations. The crazy thing is Cribbs even admitted to it! In hindsight, this strategy we now see is *ic. You can't just say, "Oh, I'm not going to fair catch."

    • 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.
