Do you have a reading comprehension problem?  The poster said Leonard, Skai and Adams should be the starters... those are three rookies.

 

As for the rest, schools do matter that is why small school guys are drafted lower than their production and measurables suggest they should and it matter because there is a bigger jump in competition and that takes time to learn.  We hear from rookies all the time about how the speed of the game is so much faster in the NFL and that is even more so from small school guys.

 

Lastly, what team started 3 rookies last year?

I dont think we will see all 3 LBs start day one, but by the end of the year, because of lack of depth, inevitable injuries, and player improvement, you may see 4-5 rookies overall starting.  We had people out of football start for this team last year. We are still building. Thats why I see 8-8 as a decent record next year

 

December starting rookies

Nelson, Smith, Leonard, Hines..........

A few additional things.

 

Starters because of injuries is completely different because just because they start a game does not mean they are the starter.

 

Two the OP that I quoted said those three rookies should be starting against Cincy, which is week 1.  So it's not because of injuries, etc.

226 at the Combine is likely more accurate.

The combine is when they add on a bunch of junk weight. I assume he trimmed down some afterwards. Either way my point was to say Geathers isn't too small. Moore isn't a much different size profile. Now whether people think Geathers is best suited for safety or backer is a matter of opinion. I'm just saying the weight argument is false when it comes to Geathers.

According to this he actually gained 4 more pounds at his pro day(230lbs) a month after the combine. He's probably been trying to gain weight for the long-haul rather than just for testing purposes.

He'll probably play around 220lbs-230lbs.

I think we will have a long season, if those 3 LBs are starting as rookies, day one

 

I hope these kids get up to speed and play much better than expected, SOONER than expected

 

Not betting on it though

I am not sure why Leonard and Moore are used in the same sentence. There is no comparison here. Leonard has all pro potential. Moore possibly has making the team potential.

 

As soon as people understand that betting on Leonard is like betting on the favorite, and betting on UDFAs is like betting on the biggest underdogs, then we can move forward and visit realityville.

I don’t think anyone here is saying Moore is as good as Leonard. People are just saying they have very similar traits. PFF thought he was a steal just saying. His ceiling is much higher than just making the team like you said.

I am rooting for Moore. But he is not in DLs league.

      Sure. I support that, too. What I don't get is people saying others need to stop discussing this subject or that people are ruining this message board by stating opinions they don't agree with.

      How can you watch Colts games with so many injuries to top players?

      By Yoshinator · Posted

      I know this doesn't compare to your children, but I have genuinely put in an effort as well not to yell or get violent since I've got my Labrador Retriever 2 1/2 years ago. She is my life, and I always want her to be comfortable around me. I've finally got on some good medication that has lowered my outbursts, and I'm probably living a better life than I have since 2011 which was the last year I had a huge social life and was traveling and playing pokemon with all my best friends.    I just enjoy sports a ton and is still a mini-escape from life. I want to feel like I can enjoy a journey that my team can win a championship. If we lose, that's one thing and I'm fine with it as long as there is maximum effort given. When we lose and it's due to circumstances out of our control (injuries) seemingly every year, that's when I become apathetic towards the team over time.   The Atlanta Braves had a horrible season with injuries this year, but because we won a WS three years ago and make the playoffs every year, it's more forgivable. When we just lose every year, or the times we win it's a QB like Rivers who has 1 year with us and he retires, I just give up. I have no control to fix the team myself, and I resort to playing Madden instead.   Also, I'm sorry that you lost your friend in NC due to the flooding. That has to be horrible to go through. I have a bunch of friends in the South who lost power for 3 1/2 days and a cousin in Florida whose house got destroyed and she has to move in with her sister now. That hurricane sucked for so many people.

      I’d say Levis is worse than AR as of this season. He’s single handedly lost the Titans multiple games.

      You’re right. You have every right to have your opinion.    Odds are stacked in favor of failure more than success in the NFL. Sustained winning is hard. Avoiding injuries is hard nowadays for QBs… More than likely due to the odds the Colts will be continuing to search for a QB in the future.    It is what it is.

      I’m sorry you feel this way. I’ve struggled with it in the past. I’ve made a post a few weeks back but it bears repeating:   I used to get irrationally angry watching Colts games. It was bad. It was violent. Looking back, it was embarrassing.   What finally changed for me was seeing the look of fear in my little children’s eyes staring up at me with tears. It… washed away my cares for the Colts. That probably sounds bad, but I no longer care as much about what happens with the team. It was one my entire persona. It was as if my own personal happiness stemmed from the team’s success.    All I can tell you is that at some point you’ll learn to separate the Colts from your personal identify.    There are other things truly more worthy of your worries and stress than a football team. I promise you.    Be well and cherish life. I recently lost a great friend in NC due to the horrible flooding. Life is too short to waste it away fretting over the Colts.
