#12. Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 If you sign him, you are trading him for Moncrief. You likely don't re-sign Moncrief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in their prime. But whether they were good is up for opinion. Donnie had his best season in the Colts uniform and DHB wasn't good. Alston Jeffery would definitely shake things up a bit I think, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's Matthews stats: 2014: 872 yds 2015: 997 yds 2016: 800 yds Mind you his QBs have been Mark Sanchez, Nick Foles, and Sam Bradford. He's an underrated receiver who would blossom under Luck. He's probably better than Moncrief. Never said anything bout dorsett being good lol, but coming from somebody who watches every eagles game dude is trash, nowhere near as skilled as moncrief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdubu Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 It's not that I wouldn't love to have Jeffrey, however, we don't have any defense in Indy and putting all the money into the offense and only hoping the defense just improves is the same tactic we've used for years. The team need to drastically address this defense first and then worry about offensive stars. We did it with Polian, did it with Grigson and if we do it with Ballard, it's on Irsay that we say we want a defense yet spend mostly on offense. Allow Luck to make his players better, don't spend top dollars on WR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisticuffs111 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 It could just be him going with more money. But does anybody else think, if some guys are indeed choosing certain teams over us, that Pags possible lame duck situation has anything to do with us seemingly dropping out of the running for guys? Obviously it could just be the money. And I know Pags' technically isn't a lame duck, but let's not act like Irsay didn't say this was an evaluation year for him.

Then what's your point? I was just pointing out that this big money is not really all that long of a commitment. Moot point it seems anyway. What exactly are you referring to with "Getting to know you/our system year? The coaching staff hasn't changed at all. Are you insinuating that the players, GM, and coaching staff need a year to gel? That makes no sense. The Colts will not be competing for a Super Bowl next year true, but you can't necessarily chose to wait because what if a player like Jeffrey is not available when you are "ready" to contend? Free agency is fluid and if you have a chance to add talent and it makes sense then you should, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The I think Dontae has the tools to be a "Beast" - but has not reached that level yet. Look I get it, he's caught a decent amount of touchdowns. The guy has played 9 games this season, he's only averaging 33 yards a game with 3 catches. If that's a BEAST then you need to do some more digging on true "Beast" nfl players.
