Another thread made me think of this. But damn we’re we not all lucky to see Manning v Brady for all those years. It was the game of the year every year right up until the day Manning retired.

 

we were lucky be able to debate (till that dead horse was so dead it was dust in the wind) who was the better QB every year and truth be told.. who cares! We watched two of the best go at it both dissecting each others D and able to determine what was going g on in seconds under center. I will be able tell my kids I was at the game where Ty Law made the great Manning look human and also at the game in Indy when Caldwell got big eyes and the Colts came back and bet the Pats.(that one still hurts that was the true SB.)  

 

we we were lucky to see probably the last marquee matchup between HOF QB twice a year for a very long time.  Only sad thing is they will not go into the HOF together like I think they should. They made football funTo watch

We are still currently lucky.

We get to see Brissett vs Bortles. Lol

I've been thinking about it for a few mins, Luck may be the 5th QB from his own draft class to win a SB if he even does. Wilson, Osweiller, Foles, and now Cousins is the QB of the Vikings who are ready to take that next step. This just shows how horrible Grigson and Pagano are and how they set us back 5 years. They even screwed up Luck.

I see what you did there LJ. I'm pretty sure Luck will play. Andrew is having no setbacks & we still have May, June, & July to hone his release, his strength, & build up his muscle memory. 

 

I'm not worried personally. Chewy will be ready to go by training camp & be under center in September.

Yes, I know you were kidding. I wasn't really raking you over the coals for that line.

 

I will enjoy watching Luck make that first throw though just to end this conspiracy nonsense that the front office & our owner are hiding something on purpose. Some folks have vivid imaginations I guess. 

 

I like espionage movies as much as anybody, but even I know Tom Clancy is dead now & owners wanna make money ergo Andrew is progressing & will be there when the games count for real.

Lol yes the colts have Luck, and while he is very good still no Mannin or Brady.. and with the beating his body has taken I don’t know if he ever will be. (Not a knock on him just a fact how injured he has been because the line is so awful in Indy)

 

but colts fans fans have had a few great QBs so your very lucky! After Brady the next best is probably Grogan followed by Tony Eason? So ya our QBs have sucked before Brady lol

They way both quarterbacks orchestrate their offenses...motioning, changing calls, and the pin point precision at which they operated was truly incredible. It's funny how in all those games there never really was one that had each of them throwing for like 400yds each or anything. Probably because Bill's defense was so tough and Tony's made you nickel and dime down the field eating clock...but yes...great rivalry and it was a game everyone circled on their calendar even if they weren't fans. Hard to tell which next batch of qbs will take over those spots. Truly special guys.

      I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7.

      Harrison Butker's shocking speech, Chiefs probably not going to 3 peat

      I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women.

      This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
