seeblu Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 lol, he's a #3 WR so if he thinks he's better than that good bye! I don't like his attitude anyway, just like last year when he acted like a spoiled child and kept calling out his QB on the field.Agree with #3 WR and poor attitude. He will make a great catch and drop one that hits him in his hands. Cya Garsawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMeDy Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 BumpI know it'd be easy to close the topic after that comment, but it's so much fun teasing Garcon, so let's pretend you didn't mention that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Peytonator Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'm saying that if he's our #1 receiver, we'll suck at receiver. But I have Collie ahead of him because I think Collie is a more complete receiver. Garcon is faster and more physical, but Collie can play slot or outside and do just fine. Runs better routes, has better hands, and has good speed himself. If Reggie walks and it's just Collie and Garcon, to me, Collie is the #1, regardless of where he lines up, just like Welker is the #1 in New England.Having Garcon out there makes me feel a lot better about the receiving position on this team. I like Collie as a pure receiver more too, but Garcon is no scrub. He really improved from last year. I feel with just overall better QB play, someone who could mix it up with who he throws it to (Peyton), all our guys would have had very decent production. I honestly don't remember him having the dropsies like he did his first two years.Also people always talk about a guy's route running ability. I don't even know what that means. You run the route you're supposed to. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out. If you're talking about separation or ability to adjust his route on options, then that would make more sense, at least to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Harrison wouldve been a bust if he didn't know every dang trick in the book and ran routes like a robot.Take marvin's guns away and bring him back as a wr advisor. He's actually a super sweet guy who loves football. Our legacy for whatever these last since 1998 have been is quickly going up in smoke, we won't have anyone left from the old guard, not as coach, advisor, nothing. The whole Bill Polian thing is the most baffling. He has sons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Americolt Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Dang. Sucks to hear this. I love Garcon. I know hes not the best, nor does he deserve #1 receiver money, but I liked that guy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoColts8818 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I want to say Channel 8 said they talked to Garcon's agent it could be Adam talked to the Colts and maybe they feel like they offered Garcon a contract. I know that's a long shot but Grigson is a first time GM so maybe he wasn't clear. It's far more likely Adam got this wrong I'll admit that.If it is true though the Colts are pretty much left with the following options:Offer Garcon number one moneyFocus on keeping Wayne and letting Garcon walkTaking the money they would have spent on Garcon and go get another WR on the marketMake a move to get a WR in the draftWork out something with Mathis now and tag Garcon.They can't go into next season with Collie as the number one WR and White as the number two even if they keep Tamme and bring back Clark.

indyrage Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 See you Garcon. A poor mans 2nd WR. Good luck on the open market. Until you prove that you can make ALL of the catches, no sense on spending number one money on a third WR on any other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manningstheman Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Its hard to imagine a player from Mount Union College, a D3 school with no scholarships, to not take a 5 year package deal. I have never been the biggest Garcon fan anyways. I am sure he loves Manning. He made that dude look good. If he does come back he needs to be a little more humble.

manningstheman Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I will say this, everyone that has played with Manning has had nothing negative to say about him though this whole process.

I have never been the biggest Garcon fan anyways. I am sure he loves Manning. He made that dude look good. If he does come back he needs to be a little more humble.1. Garcon put up very good numbers this year with Painter, Collins and Orlovsky getting him th ball often being the only player other teams had reason to fear. This year proved Garcon is not just the product of Peyton Manning.2. Just because he came from a small school doesn't mean that he some how owes it to the Colts to just be grateful with whatever the Colts offer him. If he thinks he can get more on the open market he has every right to explore that option if he wishes.3. I repeat what I said earlier at 5:00 Channel 8 reported this story and said they had talked to Garcon's agent who told them that the Colts had yet to make a formal offer to Garcon and Garcon has not turned down anything. This could be a ESPN getting a little ahead of themselves. It wouldn't be the first time that has happened this off-season in regards to the Colts, aside from all the Manning stuff remember John Clayton being on ESPN report Caldwell's job was safe while the ticker was reporting that Caldwell had been fired?

You havent talked to the agent or Garcon either. I am not bashing the dude, just stated some opinions. He isnt the even the best number 3 ball catcher on the team. The only reason Clark had such a bad season is all the QBs that started had a rotating head. They where only looking at the left side line or the right side line. That is the reason Clark and Collie had such down years. That is what bad QBs do. They dont look up the middle for anything. They either bomb it down a sideline, or look for a comeback route on the sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betheafan41 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 heard on the combine special on the NFL network earlier today that Garcon was wanting # 1 WR money, somewhere close to around 60 - 65 million. I dont know how much truth is in on the ammount, but these guys that were talking seem to be getting alot of their info about whats going on in the NFL from team owners and GM's to me that is a reliable source.

We actually agree on something for once :clap: There's no way that you can let Garcon and Wayne both walk without some kind of a replacement plan. Personally, I doubt this actually went down because Schefter has been an embarassment since he left NFL Network with his constant attempts at breaking stories that never come to fruition.
