seattle seahawks. that division will get better. a healthy bradford makes the rams a much better team. cards with kolb learning the system after a whole off-season and more time with fitz will get better and we all know about the 49ers. the team still has qb trouble and theres no way lynch can carry this team.

So having Andrew Luck + top 2 pick in every round + new aggressive defensive coach = worse Colts?

Yes. They don't have the players on defense and several of the few good ones like Mathis could be moving on.

I also expect several key offensive players such as Wayne and Addai to be cap casualties.

Pagano and Luck are completely unproven

Very possibly Jacksonville. If Cleveland doesn't draft RG3, I expect them to be in the hunt for the 1st overall pick too. I'm not saying RG3 will lead them to the playoffs, but he should be good for about 4 wins. This, of course, depends on what teams do during the draft and free agency.

Growing pains, with a young QB is what I think he meant. I mean take 3 yrs usually for QB hit his stride.

If he's as good as everyone says he is he should come into the league better than Painter and Dan O at the very least.

I think the Bills. They were awful after that 3-0 start.

We were as good as 5-2, then everything went downhill from there. Half of our team was IR'd, and it doesn't help when you lose your most productive player, Fred Jackson, who accounted for 40% of our offense. Lots of key injuries at OL, our WR core was different than what it was at the beginning of the season, and we also lost one of our best defensive players, Kyle Williams.

Our defense does need to get better if we want to go anywhere though. Dareus and Williams though look like a force on our DL.

Anyhow, Patriots are due to finish to finish with as many wins as you can count on one hand, so I'll be expecting them to crash and burn.

....kidding.

Yeah I remembered all the injuries you guys had, maybe that was a big part of the collapse. That's why I changed it to the Vikings. That team is HURRIBLE *Barkley voice

I mean, it's not because we were facing great teams all of a sudden. We came out beating Oakland, New England, and Philly (I know their record says otherwise but if you compared rosters on paper you'd without a doubt say the Eagles are a million times more talented, but they just lacked any kind of chemistry or discipline). It's not like 08 where we came out beating the Seahawks, Jags, Raiders, and Rams, and then faltered under actual competition.

I think its a little hard to tell right now honestly. I cant think of one team that stinks in every faucet of the game. With a good draft pretty much any team in this game could go from horrible to .500, .500 to .75, so on n so forth haha.

Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder, Jake Locker are the 3 rookie QBs with still something to prove and not a great supporting cast on offense.

Of all these, Blaine Gabbert looked the worst to me outside a 2nd year starter named Colt.

If Colt McCoy starts for the Browns, it will be the Browns. If Colt McCoy does not start, it will be the Jags.

Both the Vikes and Seahawks will be better because their supporting cast will be healthier (unlike AD & Harvin having injury issues plus Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks D coming on strong later in the year).

Even Peyton Manning only won a measly 3 games in his first year...hopefully when Luck becomes our starter, people will realize that and give him some time before they pass judgment on him

      *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.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      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.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By twfish · Posted

      For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
