And for those that are wondering. Kirkpatrick was on the team before.

Gotta mean the end of Saturday

We'd have to sign Pollak first.

[CanuckColtsFan]

Pollock is used as a substitute for crab in those imitation crab meat packages. So tasty

Training camp fodder

Exactly. Means nothing

[Vance]

Training camp fodder

I was about to ask, who the **** is Vittatoe.

[Phil J]

ok, i was always on board with the cutting of Peyton, but what a stupid thing to tweet so soon, literally a day later.

"we just let go of a future Hall of Fame member and signed some training camp bum!"

[UndecidedFrog]

Every year each team invites a whole bunch of potential athletes to training camp, in hopes that one or two really exceed expectations and earns a spot on the roster.

Otherwise, they are there to provide competition to the presumed starters and #2s and #3s, and to provide potential assignments to the practice squad.

Such insight...

Amazing how you call somebody a training camp bum that you haven't even seen film on. You talking about a player who is in the Top 10 or Top 15 in all of the major QB categories in NCAA history and did it with a horrible offensive line. Also, went down to the Chicago Bears camp and destroyed the QB's including Cutler but got cut because they signed a trash pick and of course had Cutler and another experienced QB leaving him to dry after promises. How about you stand on the field and catch his 40 yard bullet that he throws flat footed or his 60 yard bomb he throws without stepping into it then see if he is a bum. I know the Colts lost Manning but don't take the decisions that the Colts made and talk trash about a player that now is with you for 3 years and honestly......better than any drafted QB that will come through.

Cut luck........ Trevor is the future!!!

You can't cut someone who hasn't yet signed with you.

I am soooo glad you think so.

You don't know how happy it makes me to please you.

Is that you, Trevor?

Take it easy man. You gotta have a thick skin on this forum.

Welcome to the forum, that is, if you wish to stay for topics other than, Trevor???

Such bitterness. No offense..but why would you even waste time responding if you thought it was such a useless post? Its not like he was making a controversial statement.

[shakedownstreet]

dang, you're just loaded with insightful information today

in other news, peyton manning has been cut

[UndecidedFrog]

dang, you're just loaded with insightful information today

The better to stay away from controversy. ;)

Lets pre-cut him. Treavor is a beast!!

[CCH]

And the Trevor Vittatoe Era has begun!

[austriancolt]

I like the Kirkpatrick signing. I read a lot of good things about him.

[Restored]

It all makes sense now. Manning released..Vittatoe signed..

LOL......welcome to the board Vittatoe and welcome to the team. We needed somebody to hold Luck's water bottles during training camp!

[shakedownstreet]

REALLY

yes really! they have a neato practice facility with an indoor & outdoor field where coaches can evaluate players

don't tell anyone though. it's a colts trade secret

[Superman]

What would his dead cap hit be if we "pre-cut" him?

[HGRekks]

As everyone noticed, Luck is not going to be handed the job. Vittatoe is a very real candidate to start. With all his... football skills and... sweet moves. Competition just got real.

[Phil J]

Competition just got real.

word. gonna beat out Luck fo sho!

[shakedownstreet]

where's bavanlan when we need him

Just pre-ordered my Vittatoe jersey. I will be the first to have one when he becomes a legend.

[bavanlan]

Probably the $1,000* signing bonus he got.

*I have no idea how much he got

We need to introduce you to Rayted and you guys can talk 4th string man crushes.

[Andy]

I could see Vittatoe making the roster as a third stringer especially with the Colts being short on QBs even with Luck.

[UndecidedFrog]

It would be interesting to see who is better...Painter or Vittatoe.

Luck > McAfee > Vittatoe

our punter will get more reps. lol

heck, if you asked him, he would tell you he would beat out Aaron Rogers for a starting job.
