Could of been much worse. Still a loss. 

[Cynjin]

Ouch, that's too bad.

Pour some more salt in my wounds.

Well...there went the speed

[pgt_rob]

Pep wasn't using him much anyway but I suppose it's a loss.

[TKnight24]

Maybe now we'll run the ball more

[ColtsFan1976]

Wonder how an offensive lineman pick would have worked out.  SMH.  On a side note, Bob Kravitz thinks Luck will need shoulder surgery at the end of the year. 

[Coltsman1788]

Too bad for him...he is basically done for the year.  Too bad for Griggs for wasting a first round pick on a WR who had very little impact for us on the field during his rookie season.

Pep be like

Who is that? Oh right, the guy I never use til 4th quarters.

[Coltsman1788]

Well...there went the speed

We never really saw it anyway.

[John Waylon]

Well that sucks, but it's no huge loss.

[VaAllDay757]

Maybe duron could get actived to the roster?

[Jeff Tolle]

Not like he was doing anything anyways.

[O-Ther]

If there's one position the Colts have depth at, it's WR. It's not gonna cripple your season

[James Harden]

Duron Carter is the spark plug we need! Time to bring him up!

[Dark_Indy]

Scrub.

[PuntersArePeopleToo]

They should've early on.. Every game this year we can run early and not pass. Then Pass in second half and can't run

[ReMeDy]

Well...there went the speed

 

This is why I hate drafting speed guys. Even when he recovers, will he ever run the same speed again? Now we're going to have to tell him to bulk up and become the Minny-Me version of Andre Johnson.

[CanuckColt]

Hmmmmmm....

Stupid pick in the first place.

Stupid use of the pick by the pseudo-OC...stretch the da## field even if he is only a decoy.

[SouthernCal]

Whiff.

[hawkeyes]

The throw set him up to get destroyed.

I've been thinking that for the last couple weeks.  I don't think it will be anything major but yeah they probably will have to go in and clean some things up, if he can manage to survive the rest of the season without making it worse.

[deedub75]

Luck wasn't playing well before the apparent shoulder injury in the TN game. So is it the shoulder or has he seriously regressed?

[aaron11]

We really are not that deep.

Now we are down to ty and moncrief. AJ could be cut right now and only the most WR desperate teams would be interested

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Our heralded draft class not so heralded after all, at least not this season.

[aaron11]

One rookie linemen would not have changed much.

This team does not show up to play, one guard or tackle doesn't fix that

[chad hugo]

Unfortunate but at least now Johnson can finally be out of his shadow.

I don't think an ankle fracture at his age will permanently hamper his speed. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Lets sign Reggie

We're not that desperate. Plenty of Panther fans would scream for him, but we won't sign him and definitely won't trade for him. Going with youth with Funchess, Brown, and Norwood led by vets Cotchery, Bersin, and Ginn, who seems to love the cooking in Carolina like James Jones in Green Bay is at his best.

 

WRs simply don't have the value here as everywhere else. We call run plays 49.7% of the time, highest percentage in the league. We're old school with run the ball down your throat and play tough defense. Simplicity in elegant brutality.

[Bubbz]

Grigson is great at picking out guys who are going to get injured

Guy is probably going to be a bust just based off grigsons track record

[smittywerb]

So not only did we use our 1st pick on a WR that we barely used, but now that pick will sit for 4-6 weeks.  Yeah, fail.

[GoColts8818]

Duron Carter is the spark plug we need! Time to bring him up!

Why did he put on about 150 pounds and is now going to be our new right guard?

[GoColts8818]

Injuries happen you can't put that on the GM or coach.  Rather they should have drafted a WR in the first round or not is a different story.

[GoColts8818]

Lets sign Reggie

I think part of Luck's problem is not having Reggie.  Even when Reggie wasn't playing Reggie was Luck's go to guy for advice and I think just a calming presence for Luck.  I don't think we should sign Reggie, he's done, however I have been and would be open to them hiring him as a receivers coach. 

 

I also think part of Luck's problem is that he doesn't have the trust level he had with Reggie with any other receiver on the club.  I think it's gone unnoticed by TY Hilton has not taken the next step towards becoming a Reggie or Marvin either.  Until today he had gone 8 games without a 100 yard game, the longest streak in his career and he hadn't caught a TD until the Pats game last week.  He has truly been a bit of a ghost this season.  Both him and Castonzo have been a bit of a disappointment after being rewarded with big deals.

I agree. Really TY seems like the only other guy he feels comfortable throwing too, especially when behind in games. Teams are now double teaming him more and that is causing Andrew problems. When Reggie was here and healthy you couldn't double TY and Reggie was so clutch on 3rd downs.

See I feel like I've seen him trying to force it to Moncrief when he has to have a throw this year to a point I think Hilton was getting a little frustrated with his lack of targets.  I am not going to say beating double coverage is easy it's not but Marvin and Reggie saw it the bulk of their careers and found ways to get open.  Hilton isn't.  He's getting paid like they were, he needs to produce like they did.  That might not be fair but when you get paid like he did there becomes a level of expectations in terms of production and for most of this season Hilton has been well below that.

Problem is most teams IMO still don't respect any of our WR's other than TY so they just double TY and make Luck beat you throwing to other guys. Moncrief has looked decent this season but still not the WR Wayne was in 2012 or 2013 or early 2014. Johnson has been a huge disappointment because I thought he could be similar to Wayne but it hasn't happened. We need another WR to take the pressure off of TY like Marvin had Reggie.

On what basis can you justify was a stupid pick??? Just got he's injured and hasn't had a pro bowl rookie season??? Alot of first round picks haven't. Because he wasn't at a position of need..??? If you haven't learned that's NOT how we draft!!! so that argument does you no justice. People are just mad cause Colts didn't draft who THEY wanted.

even before Marvin had Reggie he put up great numbers. Granted Marvin is a Hall of Famer, but I think true number one WRs can put up numbers even if they don't have a great supporting cast.

I also still don't think they know how to use Johnson right and I think he's out of his comfort zone leading to what we are seeing from him. The week I think we used him "right" was the Texans game and he had a big game. He hasn't really been used like that the rest of the season. Also him and Luck for whatever reason just aren't on the same page, yet him and Hasselbeck were. That tells me it's not all Johnson.

Something is wrong with Luck. Maybe it's just physical but I think it's a bit mental. I think he's thinking too much out there right now rather than just playing and that's causing him to question what he's doing a little bit.
