You'll probably have that. So are you going to breast-feed him for the next 5 years?

I think it is certainly reasonable to give him a year to learn the NFL, but you can't compare his situation to PM's. Fans have high expectations, if he's unable to peform like "the best prospect since Elway" then fans have a right to voice that opinion. It would be wrong to hate on him just for replacing manning, but we have every right to ride him based on performance. How can you call that childish?

Exactly. I'm going to say it now I'm one of those child's who blankie got snatched and will not be very supportive his 1st yr, however I like all Colts fan will adjust and stand behind Luck in the future,but this 1st year I hate him for no other reason than he's replacing Peyton. With that said regardless of how the fan base receive's him he's got a ton of pressure on him anyway just because Manning is not retiring he's leaving. It would be easier to sallow if Peyton couldn't play anymore

Hate is a strong word. I don't hate, but I do have high expectations if your cutting a PM who can still play for a RC. I don't think people should hate Luck if he sucks, they should ask that our owner never make a football decision again.

It doesn't matter on Peyton's performance. Andrew is suppose to be better than Peyton coming out of college. It took Peyton one year for him to grasp the NFL. Why should Andrew get any longer if he is better?

So it doesn't matter about Peytons performance?!?!!?

It took Peyton 6 seasons to win a single playoff game. 9 seasons to win a Super Bowl.

You gonna allow that amount of time to Luck as well?

Jim Irsay's first decision may be the worst in NFL history. He has never had to make one, that is why we had Bill Polian.

The point of being owner is making those decision and like any child I can hate whoever I want, I understand your being a voice of reason but today is not the day any Manning fans want to hear reason. And because he's replacing Manning is exactly why you should hate him if he sucks, I mean think about it we're losing the bad end of Manning's career for so rookie who didn't pan out, a mistake this big could set the franchise back to the pre-Manning era. Because the house that Peyton built will no longer be packed if we're seeing a team that win no more than 7-8 games a year, it's like tossing the Texans the keys to the division and saying we don't want it anymore

turning to sarcasim, nice

What I wrote: It's not Luck's fault Manning is gone, don't blame him.

What you read: I want to breastfeed that 21 year old man.

...

Why on earth should I take the time to respond to anything you have to say seriously?

Peyton won Rookie of the year - pressure on an individual level starts year one!

Peyton could've won more superbowls with a real defense backing him up.

Luck is replacing Peyton, Peyton replaced.........NOBODY- you can't have the same expectations

NNNNNOOOOOO Peyton wasn't replacing anybody and had so-so teams around him and still was expected to win a superbowl in the early years, Luck has it worse than Peyton did because the GOAT is who he will be compared to for as long as he wears the horseshoe in good times and especially in bad

It didn't take Peyton 6 seasons. It took the Colts 6 seasons to win in the playoffs. A QB is simply only part of a team.

Wow....as time passes, people surely forget. Peyton had no one around him his first years?!

This hate has got to stop. You 'fans' are looking for reasons to dismiss someone who isn't even on your team yet, and will likely be leading them for at least the next 5 years, all while raising the pedistal for the previous QB higher and higher in order to justify your stance. This is absurd.

You chose to read only the beginning, let me re-quote myself:

"I think it is certainly reasonable to give him a year to learn the NFL, but you can't compare his situation to PM's.

Plus, breast-feeding is a analogy

So what is it your expecting Luck to do again!? Throw for 4k yards (takes a team) Throw for 49TDs (takes a team), we can play this game all day.

your idealist attitude is nice and kind to Luck

but our realist attitude is the truth, he will have high expecations to perform and he should.

Luck supports state he's the best prospect since Elway. that line alone makes him have higher expectations than a normal #1 overall pick!

and what performance, in your mind, is acceptable?

All of the pressure is on Pagano, Grigson and Irsay not Luck.

No because Luck is the only one who can be compared to Peyton, The HC will get 2-3 years but new GM's always get 3-4, and Irsay its his team we are stuck with him regardless. But the pressure on Luck truly starts after the 1st year because that's how long it took Peyton, I mean seriously you might as well pull out a chart of Manning's individual accomplishment because if Luck can cross off a few of them that he will be labeled a failure in the eyes of the fans

define that for me. In your eyes.

I'll fax it over to Luck.

too late, I face-timed already.

what a joke, you can protect your baby all you want. but if he isn't great, then you will be eating crow

I've never said he won't be great, I just said I think trading him and giving manning more time was a better option.

Hey stop with the reasoning your just being ignored my suggestion to you will probably be to take a few days off of the forum or get use to it because we are going to hate him right now regardless of what you say

Jim Irsay's first decision may be the worst in NFL history. He has never had to make one, that is why we had Bill Polian.

umm didn't Irsay have to make the decision to fire Polian?

Of course for this to be his first decision not only do you have to ignore that but you have to ignore him hiring and firing Tobin, Infante, and countless other personal moves he made when he was the GM of the team.

My baby? How dare I support our future QB.....

Your the one who cant clarify his own stance. I'll wait for your specifications on what Luck has to do to earn the respect on the legendary PortageColtsFan.

      How many games will the Colts win in 2024?

      By shasta519 · Posted

      I think HOU certainly got better. On defense, they added an All-Pro pass rusher in Hunter and also added Autry. They might have best ER duo in the NFL (though I say that without looking too in depth into it).   On offense, even if Diggs isn't still a great WR, you can do a lot worse at WR3. Nico had a legit breakout and Tank Dell was on pace for 1k+ yard/10+ TDs as a rookie. Even Noah Brown was productive. They have talent and depth there.   They also have a proven TE in Schultz, which I think gives their TE room the edge. Stover is also a prospect I liked. At this point, the Colts TE room doesn't have that TE1.   Colts have the better OL, but HOU is still a top 15 unit, possibly top 10 when healthy (which is the key). They dealt with injuries early last season, but once they got healthy, they were much better.   And at QB, Stroud is the more proven QB at this point.   Have to give them edge on offense overall. On defense, I would have to give them edge as well, due to their secondary. Right now, I think that's a big ? for the Colts.    I really don't see any major weakness, at least on paper. But they do have to face a gauntlet of a schedule, which probably caps their win total. Still, they should be the favorite in the AFCS.   But it's not just HOU, I think TEN is going to be much improved as well. And JAC has won 4/5 games against IND. Just overall, the AFCS should be really competitive, which makes picking up more wins tricky (vs. the past where at least one of those teams was typically bad).
