No, but I would LOVE to have Cooper and Mack.

Cooper was my favorite player at Alabama, even when Ingram and Richardson (lol) were both killing it.

He was your favorite player as a JR and a SR in HS while Ingram and Richardson were in their last seasons at Bama? Interesting.

Here's a fun thread for hypothetical trades for the Colts. The rules are you have to answer the thread and then propose a reasonable trade also.

Here's mine...

Would you trade Andrew luck, TY Hilton, and Bjoern Werner for Derek Carr, Amari Cooper, and Khalil Mack?

 

No i wouldnt make that trade.

As for the second part of your question, would you trade matt hasselbeck & AV for peyton manning & denvers kicker mcmanus.

From a player talent perspective, maybe not. But from a purely financial perspective, this trade would make a ton of sense for the Colts. Hilton got his big money deal, Luck's is coming in the off-season and Werner will likely be off the team. If I recall correctly, Carr and Mack can't renegotiate their contracts for another two years, and Cooper 's comes up in three. On their rookie deals, they're making peanuts compared to what TY and Luck are going to be pulling in next year. In fact, we could probably fit all three in for just what TY is making, which would save US about $20-25 million in cap space going forward the next two-three years. And we would still be good at QB and WR, while adding one of the best young pass rushers in the league. I'm not sure Oakland would agree to this trade.

Luck has big upside.  Has not reached his potential yet.  Not saying Carr doesn't but Luck has been more hurt than I think any of us realize and yes, his judgment waxes & wanes at times, but _tit_for_tat, AL will get us to a super bowl and no one else could do that with the "un"supporting non-monster cast we have assembled.

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him.

      if he is healthy and they make the playoffs in spite of, say, Houston being the 1 or 2 seed in a loaded afc, you think Irsay would contemplate firing him? That would mean we took another step forward and AR proved he could stay healthy and play ball. I don’t see his seat being hot in that scenario at all. I see the organization being fired up with that and ready to hit the offseason hard to take the next step forward.

      Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.
