I'm not happy. I wanted to see them win today. The #2 pick really would not have been all that awful. They still could have picked a QB to be their future one. Even not picked Andrew Luck, there will still be a boat load of players that could help this team out.

As rough as the season was for Colts fans, this should be one of the most interesting, and entertaining, off-seasons we have had in a LONG time. Of course, there is the whole debate with Luck and Manning. But if Luck says he doesn't want to sit, do we trade the pick? If so, what do we get for it? Should we load up with multiple picks, slide down and pick up another QB and roll the dice and ride Peyton for a few more years? And what about all of our free agents?? Not to mention, our front office and management positions...

Buckle your seat belts, make sure your trays are in their upright and locked positions...it's gonna be a wild ride the next few months!!

As someone who believes Peyton Manning is the best quarterback of my generation, I needed this season. I needed the world to see this. I needed analysts who use Super Bowl rings to rank all-time greats to see this.

NFL magazine named Manning its 2012 MVP and who could blame them? With Manning, the Colts are Super Bowl contenders. Without him they are the worst team in the league. No other player in the NFL is that valuable (anyone see Flynn and the Packers play the Lions today?).

If you have followed the Colts for the last 14 years, this season should not have shocked you. This is an organization with no running game (one top-10 ranking under Manning), no run defense (twice ranked higher than 20th) and embarrassing special teams play (Vanderjagt, Super Bowl onside kick, Jets’ kick return a year ago).

The 2012 Colts started 0-13, went five games without forcing a turnover, surrendered a large lead to Kansas City (aren’t the Colts built to play with the lead?) and ranked dead last in both kick returns, punt returns and kickoff coverage. Is Manning to blame?

Manning deserves better in his final years. Trade him to any team a quarterback away from a Super Bowl (Jets, Bears) and draft Luck. Yes, I could enjoy 4-5 more 10-6 seasons with an early-playoff exit, but I don’t want to. I’ve seen enough.

Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t know a season where his defense wasn’t ranked in the top 10 (total defense). The Patriots have been eighth or better in scoring defense in all but two seasons under Brady. It’s time for Manning to reap the luxuries these quarterbacks have enjoyed their entire careers.

The Colts should fire its coaching staff (what has Caldwell accomplished other than benching his starters?), use the extra draft picks gained in a Manning trade to support Luck and begin a new Era. Manning should be given a chance at another Super Bowl. After this season, his one ring is the only argument his detractors have left.

      Broncos to Add Ex Stanford Head Coach Shaw to Front Office

      By NFLfan · Posted

      Yes, I know. The Stanford teams  when Hogan was the starting QB were full of top recruits on offense and defense. It was so much fun being a fan then. I'm not as big a fan of Stanford as you are. Being on the East Coast makes it hard to follow them as much as I used to.   Overall, I am becoming less and less interested in sports. For over 20 years, I used to listen to sports radio whenever I had free time.  I used to follow tennis, golf, baseball, college basketball, a little NBA and NHL as well as NFL and college football. I once went to 20+ baseball games in a year.  The only sport I still follow religiously now is NFL football. I try to follow my favorite baseball team, the Mets, but not enough. I attribute my loss of interest to there being too much change and movement of players, coaches, teams, conferences, etc. Stanford is now part of the ACC! My goodness! (Shaking my head) I don't like all these changes in conferences.   I was a big fan of Ted Leyland, Stanford's former athletic director many years ago. It saddened me when Leyland left Stanford to go to the University of Pacific which was his alma mater. I see he retired. He hired Buddy Teevens who died last year. Back in those days, I followed Stanford football a lot more closely. They were not great years but I loved rooting for players who also excelled in the classroom.   TL;DR 😉

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      Oh I think they are ready. They are right in the thick of it. Well educated and smart women. They are more in tune with the Indianapolis Colts than all of the new ownership in the league is with their respective franchises. I'm not concerned in the least with these ladies taking over moving forward. I think it's a great thing and speaks to the stability that the organization is preaching and looking to build.

      I'm out this year. I'm going to be focusing on my bestballs and daily fantasy. I already have $400 invested and am making a concentrated effort this year to win some money.
