I don't understand why the hate for Mike Vanderjagt. He was on of the top 3 kickers for the Colts.  He easily won 25 games with his strong leg. The hate comes from those who believe if you say anything detrimental to Peyton Manning you are the Devil's Son.  He was asked an a question after a horrible playoff game and he expressed his opinion. Guys in the trenches make heated remarks all the time but they shouldn't be vilified.  

 

Actually Peyton is the one who made the substance abuse accusation towards Vanderjagt. Calling a teammate an alcoholic or a substance user is never cool.  That C*R*A*P results in loss jobs in the NFL or any work place.

 

I love what Peyton and Mike did for this organization. But this deifying of any player and knocking a player or a poster who thinks different is down right silly.

I don't think the dislike is all about Vanderjagt running his mouth. He got fired for missing a couple of very makeable game winning kicks. One was a playoff game. He not only missed but it wasn't even close. Kickers are paid to hit game winners especially playoff games. After his firing he never held another NFL kicking job. No matter who runs their mouth you don't go on radio or TV and throw your team mates under the bus. For him to say that Manning didn't have the desire and the mindset of a winner was real stupid. Manning more than likely worked as hard at his craft than most any player in history. The Colts fired Jim Mora for throwing his players under the bus so a kicker does not get special treatment.

Colts/Steelers 2005 Playoff game. Dude looked like he missed that kick on purpose. After he missed that kick he was out and Vinny was in. I will never forgive Vander for that miss.

He got caught from behind by Ben Roethlisberger in the 2005 divisional game. Not his fault, if his wife had a jersey it would be burn-worthy.

I know peoples reason why but if anything it was a heckuva play by ben. We played like garbage the majority of that game. It wasnt meant to be

      Safety Jay Stanley (Southern Miss)

      By OhioColt · Posted

      Found Stanley’s Pro Day Results from 03/25/2024.  Hands 9 3/8, decent wingspan of 79 ½”. Stanley ran slower at his pro-day than Kamren Kinchens did with a 4.78s 40-yard dash which was even worse than James Williams SAF Miami (FL).  Curious if he was injured or that Is his top speed.  His vertical was only 33” which was still better than Jaylon Carlies, Josh Proctor, Patrick McMorris, Demani Richardson, and James Williams.  Even his broad jump was much better than those mentioned above, except Josh Proctor (10’1”), and bested Kamren Kinchens, Kitan Oladapo, and Daijah Anthony from the Combine.  Stanley’s 3-Cone Drill and 20 Yard Shuttle were actually better than some of the cornerbacks drafted this time around.     Still went through PFF's recent 2024 UDFA tracker and still could find Stanley mentioned.  Guess teams are ignoring him with such a slow 40-yard dash time.  If he was injured might account for his speed and sub-par vertical jump.

      Anthony Richardson: The Pocket Passer

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Come on now…  Lamar Jackson is a two time NFL MVP.   Justin Fields is entering his 4th season, and he wasn’t terrible with Chicago.    Anthony Richardson started 4 games for the Colts.  He’s thrown just 84 total passes.   We’re all pulling for the kid to succeed,  but he’s got a lot to prove before  anyone can credibly say AR is better than Fields or Jackson.    There are plenty of questions to be asked and the answers wont come until early next year.    We all could be having an entirely different conversation next off-season.

      Anthony Richardson: The Pocket Passer

      By colts89 · Posted

      People saying he was a run first QB never watched his college tape. I won't lead the witness, but you can make some basic assumptions as to why people believed that.   IMO, his actual football problems coming into the league were:   - bad footwork. Made him have some inconsistent, wild throws at times. - not that great at making easy, short passes. The layups, essentially.     I'd say in the short sample we saw last year, that the latter issue he dramatically improved on. For the former, there were still some erratic throws (when he missed, he really missed), but he also showed progress there a s well (his completion percentage in the NFL was 59.5 vs 53.7 in his one year starting at college. It's usually the opposite trend for most rookies)   I'm absolutely on board on AR becoming a franchise QB, the only issue he has is proving he can stay healthy. I also don't think calling out two minor injuries vs one major injury is enough to call injury prone, but he has to prove it all the same.

      He can’t as you pointed out those contracts are more or less slotted.
