YES of course I pay him .... I think we have to build this team around Luck, TY, & Moncrief on the offensive side - three guys I would keep around as long as possibly.

Build it around Luck and the offensive line

Not anyone currently on this OL that I would build around.  ;)

In the ideal world no I would have let him walk. (in hindsight)

 

When I think of players who make the biggest difference come playoffs I think of quarterbacks, offensive linemen, and defensive players. That's where (ideally) I would spend the most money/have the most talent.

 

On the other hand it's not like the Colts had to decide to pay T.Y. or an offensive lineman or defensive player. Those areas aren't stacked with talent waiting for a payday.

 

I don't want to sound like I don't appreciate T.Y. or like him as a player. It's just that receivers/running backs have a limited impact on winning in the playoffs, imo, when you compare them to quarterbacks, offensive linemen, and defensive players.

thats because we were getting better bang for the buck out of him prior to this year

You cant get a bang out of TY when he is not thrown the ball much and it is not thrown where he can catch it. TY has not forgot how to be a great receiver and his talent level has not gone away.

a number 3 receiver? this is a joke right? 

No joke at all.  He's complaining to the media that he isn't getting enough looks, but let's face it he can't shake any CB's and that is why the Colts are dinking and dunking.  All of our QB's are more than capable of throwing it down field but when they do TY is covered like a blanket every time.  I'm not an expert,(I've been to enough games to evaluate for my self and my opinion) obviously you are an expert.
