Why in the world would the Colts keep Allen over Fleener? We paid a guy $30 million dollars who is constantly injured, can't block and isn't a great receiving threat. Jack Doyle who makes pennies is a TE in my opinion.

Another questionable decision by Grigson for burying the talent on this team.

I mean. Yeah. We should have kept Fleener. Fleener's the better receiving TE IMO. Which is what I want. A big time receiving TE. I wanted us to keep him in the offseason and stand by it. Same with Jerrell Freeman. Why keep an old bum like DQ instead of Freeman who was coming off his best season????? Makes NO sense. But hey. Ryan Grigson makes no sense. What about the pass rush? Why keep an old bum like Trent Cole? And I don't care how many ALMOST sacks he has. I care about actual sacks, pressures, tackles for a loss, etc. Why not bring in Nick Perry who's probably going to put up 15 plus sacks with Green Bay this year???

The reason we didn't keep fleener, or freeman, or any other us cause they were way too dang expensive. You want fleener who couldn't block to save his QB's life? Our blocking is bad enough. Allen can block. He has laid the wood quite a few times. Freeman wanted a ton and we weren't going to be able to afford everyone. Not with Luck's contract looming. You people make no sense.

Didn't the Bears pay Freeman 4 or 5 mil a year?  Maybe I'm mistaken, but if that's the case, that is NOT a "ton" of money as you put it.

Actually, @Superman, I would love it if you could assess a hypothetical. Taking into Luck's contract, assess if we could have signed fleener and freeman to the exact same contacts they received from the teams that signed them.  I'll even give you room to assume that we would have cut Allen and DQ. Would we have been able to sign them?

Allen is a better player than Fleener but neither deserved the contract they got. I will keep saying it until you guys get it. Fleener had two good games and only has 2 more catches and 54 more yards than Dwayne Allen. And he had two of those easy drops he always had with us when they played the Chargers. He also still can't break tackles and if you took away the couple of long balls he had, he would still be averaging 5 yards a catch.

 

We should have let them both go and got more compensatory picks. Doyle is better than both in my opinion. He blocks just as well as Allen and is a better playmaker.

      POLL: fire ballard?

      By ShuteAt168 · Posted

      Yes, thanks, you’re right. When the Panthers traded to get the 1 is when Ballard said he didn’t have all the information to make the trade. That’s strange to me.  “Didn’t want to make a blind decision without all the information,” Ballard told reporters Monday. “I know for people, they might not understand that. But I think history kind of tells you that when you do that, you better know what you’re getting. And we weren’t quite ready to do that at that time. And then we feel like there’s enough depth in the draft that we were gonna be okay.”   This was in late March. Ballard had a chance to get the 1 and use it to take Stroud not Young. I think it’s strange he said he didn’t move up to 1 because it would have been a “blind decision.” Why would it be a blind decision in March? Why wouldn’t you know what you’re getting? You’re getting whoever you want if you get the 1. It didn’t happen, but Ballard could have recognized that Stroud was going to be superior, could have made the trade and could have drafted him. Ballard admits it never occurred to him to attempt the trade because it would be a “blind decision.”

      Buckner thought to have an ankle sprain

      By Dark Superman · Posted

      I cringed after seeing the way his leg bent underneath him to the point of him sitting down on it. Buckner is one tough dude and to see him needing help to get off the field is when I knew he was going to be out for a while.

      Latu hurt ?!

      He probably felt confident Bowers would still be on the board at 15 once he made it past NYJ at 11.  He could've been trading up with other teams to move up to get Brock Bowers, but unfortunately, the Raiders had their eyes set on him and took him at 13.

      I'm honestly at this stage. The 'whatever' stage.
