Andy246, thanks, I do agree that there are more important things in life, but this really hurts. Its like a giant hole inside of me without any closure. My 2 young boys keep asking me why this happend and I really dont have a good answer other than "its business".

I used to stand in front of the TV for the whole game, pacing back and forth and yelling and cheering and sometimes crying with tears of joy. For the first time in a long, long time I am not sure if I will ever have those feelings again.

I think mouthofsouth is probably the closest to the actual WHY, but it would really help if I heard it from Peyton.

I dont disagree, but I am curious how it is that you speak like you know andrew luck?

From post #28 of this thread, I said:

Luck will not pull an Eli from what I know of his personality.

He will see what happened as a unique opportunity to play and prove himself to his team mates, and his team (coaches, FO, owner), and to the city and fans who support his team (probably in that order).

I am not saying this because I worship him. I don't. I am saying this from having seen and heard his many interviews, and understanding a bit more about what makes him tick.

I need to know WHY? The press conference did not tell me WHY? Neither one of them ever really said WHY? WHY cant this work? If it was NOT about money than WHY? Salary Cap? You just said it was NOT about money. Rebuilding? Than why not keep Peyton for 1 year to just so the next QB can watch, then trade him and at least get something for the value? Its NOT about money right, then why worry about caps? If it business than WHY not at least get some stinking draft picks for him? Peyton's health? He says he wants to play. WHY was the contract not even part of the discussion or a factor in the discision? If it was the Salary Cap than WHY not just change the contract to lower the cap numbers in the future? WHY do I get the feeling this could have gone either way in that plane ride home? Will we ever know? Part of my identitiy as a person comes from what Peyton represents, that part of me needs to know WHY.

Did you watch the press conference? They weren't very specific but both think its for best they split. Dungy and Polian thinks its for the best. There's been countless logical post why there should be a split, or why they should stick together. I think Irsay and Manning choose the best long-term solution, not the best short term solution.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By stitches · Posted

      I was thinking a bit about what Ballard said in that clip from "Behind the Colts", about "he's not going to get much bigger". No idea if he was talking about Worthy... but if he is... he's right. Whether Worthy ends up playing at 165 or 176... this is still extremely small and light. Whether he's in the 1st percentile or 5th percentile of athlete's in weight in the league, this doesn't change the type of player and type of worries you would have about him with any significance. So... in a way, I kind of find that conversation a bit pointless. IMO the question should be - okay. he is small... and he will always be small. Can we work with that? And can we live with the risk of injury for that small of a player? And the answer can be no here... I'm not saying we necessarily need to take that risk.

      You think the Ed Dodds you see in edited clips here is the same as the Ed Dodds who interviews with teams?   I don’t know you or anyone would think that?      He’s very much respected around the NFL which is why multiple teams ask to interview with them most every year.

      Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :
