FWIW my opinion is that I will back whoever Ballard chooses. 

 

I can find flaws in all candidates, and I can find positives in all candidates, but all I can do is trust that Ballard is doing his due diligence and taking his time with the decision (exactly how I would want it) and he will make the decision with the best interests of the Indianapolis Colts at heart.

I just have a feeling about Toub.  Can't really explain it but his reputation is stellar and I think with Ballard will form a great working tandem.  I also think that his staff will be top notch as we

Top 3 in order:   1. McDaniels: I believe he’s learned from his failure in Denver. He will run an offense that will be both QB friendly and productive. He also has some good connections in N

I'm in the same boat.  Which is why I'm refraining from voting in my own poll.  I honestly do not envy Ballard right now

I remember those days well. haha I think I remember your name too unless you used a different one then, we had so many posters back then there. And yeah those were some wild forum days at that place. Loaded with Pats fans to the core and we did fight hard at times with little moderation around. lmao  

Fun times though even if it used to get frustrating. And the prayer threads etc. lmao Just the long long bumped up threads in general. 

 

As for our current coaching search I have not really paid attention to the details. The one I wanted and was ready to go all on board with for years was Jim Harbaugh but we know this isn't going to happen so it's not worth even getting into.

 

For the rest of them.........I guess I will get on board with whomever is hired or try to give him a fair shot. I don't know enough about some of the coaches on the list either to really give a fair answer.

 

McDaniels is kinda overrated IMO. So I don't know how I feel about this one, I am kinda iffy on Patriots people since often times it doesn't always carry out on other teams.

 

Also you are not wrong, back in those days we didn't want ANYTHING to do with any Pats coaches and did say we wanted to win the fair way etc.

Mannings Army was the principle NE troll if I recall correctly. More of a spoof account really. That is what made me switch to this forum, around 2004.....

I’m fairly certain he’s not getting the job, so you can relax now.  Unless you’re a Packer, Brown, Dolphin....

I'm still not convinced he gets a job.  I am convinced he has a very good agent.

If he’s smart, he takes a job before Brady retires.  And I wouldn’t want to be the coach that follows BB in NE.  

 

Somebody reported that he was enthusiastic about the Browns job. I wonder whether that could affect the relationship between GM Dorsey and GM Ballard, if they sign him? :ninja:

That's a big "if".......he drafted tebow in the 1st after all.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      Was that the only good receiver taken in that draft? And did they give up multiple picks?

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By Superman · Posted

      Yeah, I have no beef with MHJ as a prospect (I think some are pumping him up a little too much, and there's some name recognition probably influencing the way he's talked about). It would be awesome to have him on the Colts. But just like every other draft prospect in history, the possibility exists that he will not live up to the pre-draft expectations.    But during the pre-draft process, fans and media start falling in love with players. Terms like "generational talent," "future superstar," etc., start getting thrown around. And now we're talking about a prospect as if he's a lock for the HOF before he's even played a game in the NFL. That's fine, it's fun, we all do it. But that's different from actually scouting, setting a board, and making decisions for the team.   Each of us can point to a previous prospect that we loved and raved about and had them fitted for a gold jacket, but who bounced out of the league within 3-4 years. And the same is probably true for NFL scouts and decision makers. Which is why Ballard's comment today -- there is no such thing as a perfect prospect -- is so important to remember. I'm not against the team identifying a guy they really want and going up to get him, but I hope they're not just doing it with stars in their eyes.

      Would Cincy have made the SB without taking Chase at #5. I got the answer, and it is easy, it is a FAT NO. They would have never got by KC as great as Burrow is. Giving up next years 1st round pick isn't the end of the world to land a generational WR. We still have picks in rounds 2-7 if we did that.

      Isaiah Rodgers to the Eagles (Still Suspended)

      By w87r · Posted

      Definitely was, but essentially all of them received the same punishment initially.     Just thought it was curious, especially right before the draft. Has to put the CB spot for the Eagles in limbo.     Been wondering if Jontay Porter's NBA lifetime ban had any play in the decision.   Rodgers did bet on his own team.
