I get it, honestly I do. He's listed at 178 lbs, I don't think he's ever going to be beast mode.

 

Give him ANYTHING at #2 and I think he'd be more consistent. I don't even know who our#2 is this season.

He wants the respect that a #1 should get and he cashes the paycheck a #1 would should get,  so unfortunately for him, he needs to find a way to be beast mode, or he needs to learn to accept the criticism he gets.

So let's just get rid of him? That'll help the team?

Not at all.  Another good receiver would take a lot of the burden off of him.  Try to get a true #1, and TY would tear it up in the slot.  If not a #1, than a really good #2.  I don't hate TY, I just dont think he's good enough to carry the #1 load by himself like Marvin or Reggie were capable of.

That's fair.

 

Some people here think it's like cutting a 5th on the depth chart player. You better hit on that draft pick some here want because I guarantee if you send him to a team with a QB, he'll get 1500 yards.

They had each other for a long time though. They helped each other.

 

We have zero other threats. All on him, that's tough when you're paying with a guy who want even here for training camp.

ITT: people once again trying to invalidly argue that #1 WRs never get shutdown.

It happens to the best of them, never is a word that shouldn't be used.  It just seems our #1 WR gets shut down a little too often.  But some seem to be happy with that.  I take it you're fine with his disappearing acts?

I agree, but his inconsistency was an issue, even with Luck.  I know that TY is the least of the team's problems.  His attitude at times really annoys me. He acts like too much of a diva for me.  Dancing after TDs  when we are getting destroyed.  Dancing in the locker room after the team just got crushed.  Stuff like that.  I want people on the team that at least look like they hate losing.   We've had hall of fame WRs in the past that were very humble on the field and didn't feed into thst crap.  He's not a good leader in my opinion.

I don’t live out there or listen to his radio show but isn’t rv the worst coach they ever had?

I love hearing Venturi analyze the team, but his coaching record is horrific.  It's like 1-35 including college and the pros.  (Or something terrible like that.  I'm positive he only won one game).  Obviosuoy he had terrible teams I'm sure, but ONE win over that many games.  It makes me wonder how good his analysis actually is.

I'll totally give you most of what you said I agree with.

 

It's just that a year like this year I see TY WAAAAAAY down the list of what our problems are. 

 

I also don't think he's a true all world wr, but he's a really good wr, why would we ship him out of town? Some folks are like ' let's get a third for him'...that's literally LOL funny.

 

Wanna see ugly? Roll out there with Crief and company the rest of the season.

Agree.  Yeah I am hoping we get him help instead of trading him, and letting him go for a 3rd rounder would make us a laughing stock.

A lot of what he says comes to fruition.  He was even bragging about Sean McVay all off season.

I've never said he sucked.  You don't lead the NFL in receiving yards if you suck.  What I want from T.Y. is consistency.  If having a player show up 10 out of 16 games is good enough for you I don't know what to tell you, because it's not good enough for me.  A #1 WR will find a way to beat double teams.  A #1 WR will find a way to show up week in and week out.  A #1 WR doesn't act like Jeckyl and Hyde.  It's a whole lot easier to be a star on a team full of players without talent. It's no wonder that nobody outside of the Colts fanbase doesn't look at T.Y. as a top tier WR.

 

You keep Hilton and go out there and get a #1. Whether that's FA or draft I really don't care.

Chud is what’s wrong with TY. And this offense. 

 

At the time of the pick six the Colts were running the ball at will. 5 yards a pop....Bengals D had no answer....Colts could all but put the game away .... so Chud on 2nd down goes empty backfield, pretending that Brissett will suddenly become Tom Brady, announcing to the whole world that they will not even fake a hand-off.....I absolutely can't stand his untimely poor play calling...

wrs also have to be able to create separation which indy wr core is incapable of doing from what i’m seeing this year 

That falls on the coordinator to call plays to help them get separation not intermediate routes  for all the receivers and the short route for Doyle only

Call me crazy, but I still wouldn't trade him. Instead go out and get him some help. TY is NOT  a number 1 simply because of his size and limitations, not due to talent. 

Ty's making a lot of money and I would think Ballard might be thinking he could get another #2 to at least  show up against good defenses for a lot less.

How about his MULTIPLE drops this season.  I agree that the coaching sucks, but at what point does TY take blame for his shirt comings.

He was coach at a college where Dennis Green had an equally terrible record and he was a fill-in on one of those horrifically bad George teams if I remember right.  The record is largely decieving imo. He was employed for a long long time as a coordinator , so he was respected at least . He was 2-17 as a fill in on 2 terrible teams, the early 90s Colts and the mid-90s Saints.  At Northwestern he was like 1-32 but Dennis Green was just as bad or close there .

You're completely right he has dropped some but he gets more flack for not getting thrown the ball than he does for dropping and also a lot of our receivers have dropped MULTIPLE balls but even then who has made the most of thier targets being the smallest while being double teamed? He can get some blame but people are expecting him to DO IT ALL when he's not been targeted enough and their aren't any plays to spring him free Chud is a bigger issue than Hilton that needs to be addressed severely

      This has to be the worst take I've seen on this forum in a very long time!  I wish there was a thumb down or dislike button for your post.

      Kool-Aid McKinstry(41), Kamari Lassiter(no.42), Max Melton(43) all have their 3d year completely guaranteed too.    In general it seems like MItchell's contract is middle of the road type of contract. Some got more guaranteed, some less...

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By Superman · Posted

      Details from OTC: https://overthecap.com/player/adonai-mitchell/11660   Four years, $7,386,086 total value, $4,817,431 fully guaranteed at signing (65.2%, no info about offsets) Signing bonus, $2,191,700 (prorated to $547,925/year) Salaries for 2024 ($795,000) and 2025 ($1,130,731) are fully guaranteed at signing Salary for 2026 ($1,466,462) partially guaranteed ($700,000) at signing (47.7%)   The #46 pick this year was Jonathon Brooks (coincidentally, the Colts original draft spot), to the Panthers. His contract is only guaranteed for the first two years, total of $4,914,107 guaranteed, which is 58.4% of the total value. At first, I thought this meant AD Mitchell's contract is pretty good, but apparently Brooks' contract is kind of bad. The next pick was Tyler Nubin (Giants), who has nearly all of his third year guaranteed. And last year, the #46 pick was Keion White (Patriots), and almost half of his third year was guaranteed. So Brooks seems to have undercut his guarantees. Some teams hold the line really well, so I was thinking maybe Carolina doesn't want guarantees in the third year, but they drafted Jonathan Mingo at #39 last year, and guaranteed almost half of his third year. Brooks probably could have done better if he had waited a few weeks.   The second round is kind of all over the place this year. There are still 11 guys unsigned, and a good number at the top and in the middle of the round. But all the way up at #40, Cooper DeJean (Eagles) only has $247k guaranteed in 2026, and his total percentage of guarantee is only 62.8%, so his contract isn't as favorable as Mitchell's. And then you have a few guys in the middle of the round -- like Jackson Powers-Johnson (Raiders, #44) and Edgerrin Cooper (Packers, #45) -- who have 2026 fully guaranteed (Cooper's is all but $76k).   But it's all going up. AD Mitchell has more favorable guarantees than Jonathan Taylor did when he was the #41 pick in 2020 (53.9%). Each draft class pushes it a little further than the previous class.
