WRONG! If, after all of this, P. Manning goes for the money and signs with the senile Bud Adams' team, I will BOOOOOOOOOoooooooo!!! Peyton Manning like I BOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo!!! ALL OTHER TITANS PLAYERS.

Peyton is no longer an Indianapolis Colt. The Flaming Thumbtacks are a hated rival. Why are you still on this forum if you are a Peyton Manning fan and not a Colts fan? Just killing time until the "decision"?

Even though the OP stated in his post that he was referring to "some" Colt's fans, I have edited the title to include the word, "some", because I know there are many Colt's fans who do not feel anything even closely akin to hatred for Peyton.

As for me, I would prefer that he not chose the Titans. But, if he does, he does.

I will cheer for the Colts and I will cheer for Peyton (not the Titans or whichever team he choses). Should the meetings between the two teams result in a loss for the Colts, I will be sad for the Colts; but happy for Peyton. And vice versa.

I don't know if that makes me a Colt's fan, a Manning fan, a good fan, a bad fan, a bandwagon fan, or whatever. I just know that I can't cheer against the Colts or Peyton.

I think Denver because eventhough Tennessee had a little better record, they had a much better QB. Manning replacing Tebow is a much bigger upgrade at the most important position than Manning replacing Hasselbeck. However, there is still more to factor,in than just who the QB's were, such as who they have lost and who they have gained. Tennessee lost Finnegan, but picked up Hutchison. What was each teams injury situation last year? Did CJ have an off year from reporting late, or has his dedication gone down since signing a big contract? I would think Peyton will look at all those and several other things to see who he thinks has a better chance of winning. I think Denver would have a better chance, but I would concede that Peyton can probably make a better judgment on that than me.

I agree on the QB difference and I also agree that I would give Denver the edge on being the better team....I just don't think it's significant to the extent of being a no-brainer to choose them over Tennessee. I think there are other factors that come into play that might balance out the small perceived edge the Denver team may have. I honestly don't know that folks realize how deeply PM's affections are for the state and people of TN, not to mention his wife's family being here. As ya'll know, he's a different animal in many positive ways and his time here was much more than 4 years in college. his relationship here has continued and his emotional ties among many practical one's run well below the surface. So I'm just saying that I believe those things could easily counter a small football edge that Denver may have (and i'm not sure they have it....certainly not sure in PM's perception). Anyway, sorry to ramble on about it, but just not sure everyone understands how loved he is in TN and he loves this place too. It's not the same as Brett Favre playing for the Vikings. This is not just a division rival, this is a place that PM has a deep history, connection and love for.

And yeah, CJ was not good last year. Probably a mix of a late start and getting paid. Also, Kenny Britt can be an exceptional receiver but he was out hurt. The Titans have a very solid O line and a promising group of receivers especially if Britt can stay healthy...and if CJ decides to show up this year he can be great. Anyway, we'll see. PM may go Denver. I hope he goes Titans. Not because of getting back at the wonderful Colt fans. As a PM fan, i wish he could have finished out with the Colts....but as it's turned out, we'd love for him to play some football back inside the TN borders!

There are plenty of other teams that give him a better shot to get another SB and hopefully another SB ring. Tenn is not one of them. As I said last night, if he goes there, he is repeating what Farve basicially did. He would be just following in Farve's shadow. He will not win a SB with Tenn. I am sorry. I don't see it.

It would be one thing if other teams didn't want him and Tenn was his only option. He has to know, it will upset a lot of fans, he claimed to care about. I do believe he cares.

You are like the guy who dumps his wife for someone he thinks is younger and better then gets all upset over who his ex-wife is dating. :scratch:

its just a game people. you can still respect, miss, love manning AND root against him when he plays your team.

and people also need to understand the whole rivalry thing in sports, it's mostly a fan thing. the titans might be your divisial rival but to the players it's just another team. sure, the players acknowledge there is a rivalry there when playing for a team. but it's just a game. and if they need to find a job they will go to that rival. fanboys dont want to hear it but the players dont actually hate other teams because they are rivals.

Going to a division rival has a different feel to it considering he could of gone to about 20 other teams if he does indeed up in Tenn. I will be sure to boo him 10x harder than I would have if he had gone to the Dolphins or Broncos as well. I realize Tennesee if offering the entire state up to him but I hope he sees past it. If not and he does sign with him, I hope that Freeney and Mathis take advantage of the 2x we will play them.

With a Mcnabb level of success the team isn't likely to move. All I was saying that his play prevented it from being a possibility.

yes, 100%, i think we pretty much agree . . . not only did PM contribute significantly to converting many fans over to football, he helped a lot during those early years of his career till the Dungy, and the other supporting cast came along and they took off circa 2003 . . . and due to this the franchise should be here to stay for a long time, expecially if Luck has a decent career . .

we had the same sort of thing with the Pats in the 90s where there was pressure to move, but kraft, Parcells and especially Drew Bledsoe help keep the team in NE . . . not many people will give Bledsoe his due for helping keep the team in NE . . .

Basically this shows that Peyton Manning is no different than any other player. I know you guys want to build him up and believe that loyalty is the biggest thing...but look. He's going to do what he wants to do. He is no longer a Colt, and he cant make decisions from here on out worrying about how it affects the Colts.

When Vinatieri left, not only did he go to a rival, he went to our biggest rival...and some Colts fans were appalled when some boo'd him back at Foxboro. See...in our eyes, he will always be a Patriot, and once he retires, we will welcome him back with open arms and remember all he did for us. But when hes on that field against me, I want him to shank every kick he takes. I dont hate him, but hes doing all he can to beat my team, so Im going to do all I can to make sure he doesnt. Thats a natural reaction, and most objective and realistic fans know that its only a game and these guys are people too...and when all is said and done youll look at Peyton as a Colt again...but trust me, come summer when you see him wearing a different color jersey, it will hit you and you'll root against him when he comes to town. Whether it be light blue or dark blue...it wont be speed blue. Not until he hangs em up for good.

I'm not so sure about that ... a lot of these fans became Colts fans because of Manning. They jumped on the 12 win a season bandwagon - they are more of a Manning fan than they are a Colt fan. When the Colts have 2-3 under .500 seasons they wont be around cheering against Manning, specially if he happens to be off winning 11-12 games a year - they'll just go jump on that bandwagon.

Im talking about the Colts fans...not the Manning-first fans. The Manning-first fans have already jumped ship...im talking about the ones who are sticking around to root for their TEAM and how they cant yet imagine seeing Peyton in a different jersey.

haha.

You and I do hope for the outcome that the Colts win! ;)

Definetly. It just takes time to move on for me.

But I'm starting to look froward to that first pre-season game when we finally see what we have.

Maybe I'm losing my grip but if Denver can make the playoffs with a bad rookie QB

..and a little luck.

...maybe we can do something with a rebuilt (and I'm thinking significantly improved) defense and a lot of Luck.

I think it is best to temper your expectations of a rebuilding team with a rookie QB, rookie HC, rookie GM.

I think a more reasonable expectation for the upcoming season is definite improvement from 2-14, with solid signs that the team is making big strides in improving on:

1) Special teams

2) Defense

3) Offense that is not hinged on the QB's special skill set.

With that said, we can always hope that the Colts will dominate every game they play!

If you hate peyton if he plays for tenn, then you arent a colts fan. If you merely root against him when he plays the colts and even hope his team loses every game then that is fine. But i agree with the op, there does seem to be some absurd hate for peyton among some fans.

I have not seen hate. Just people who say that if he plays against us....they are hoping for him to lose

seems like standard football fandom to me

i'm with frog. i want the colts to stomp their way to the lombardi winning every game 70-0. imagine how hated we'd be by the rest of the league

I want that as well. That would be a definite change because we sure did not have that philosophy or attitude in 2009.

      He won 't be a starter, but Carlies is going to get a lot of defensive snaps this year. The surprise starter- Bortolini at right guard. Mitchell will be starting, but that won 't be a surprise. Go Colts, this team is loaded!

      2025 Mock Draft

      By OhioColt · Posted

      The Colts have a long list of upcoming 2025 Free Agents:   Colts 2025 Free Agents: OC Ryan Kelly SS Julian Blackmon TE Mo Alie-Cox DT Taven Bryan RG Will Fries 8m SLB Ronnie Harrison 2.4m Edge Dayo Odeyingbo 6m WLB EJ Speed TE Kylen Granson 5m QB Joe Flacco TE Eric Tomlinson WR Ashton Dulin OC Danny Pinter Edge Genard Avery CB Dallis Flowers – RFA Round 1 tender 6.945m / Round 2 tender 4.978m CB Darrell Baker Jr. RFA LG Wesley French RFA QB Sam Ehlinger RB Trey Sermon RG Jack Anderson WR Juwann Winfree WR Tyrie Cleveland WR DJ Montgomery RFA MLB Segun Olubi ERFA 960k / worth 1.4m CB Chris Lammons LG Arlington Hambright RFA – cut RT Lewis Kidd ERFA 960k LB Grant Stuard – cut RB Tyler Goodson ERFA 960k LG Josh Sills RFA – cut LB/Edge Isaiah Land ERFA – 960k resign SLB Cameron McGrone ERFA – cut DB Trevor Denbow ERFA – 960k resign WR Ethan Fernea ERFA -960k? CB Marcel Dabo ERFA – 840k? WLB Austin Ajake ERFA – 840k? FS Kendell Brooks ERFA – 840k? SLB Liam Anderson ERFA – 840k? WR Zavier Scott ERFA – 840k? TE Jordan Murray ERFA – 840k? WR Michael Tutsie ERFA – 840k?   Of the above really like to see the Colts resign Ronnie Harrison, Dayo Odeyingbo, Kylen Granson, Dallis Flowers, and Segun Olubi.  In order to free up cap space it wouldn't shock me to see Braden Smith traded.  Not ideal but only way at this point in time to see freeing up available cap space.  Would love to add OC Connor Williams who is still a free agent but suffered an ACL injury late in 2023.  Before his injury Williams ranked as the 3rd best OL in 2023 in zone-heavy scheme.  Recoding a league best 92.4 run-blocking grade on zone concepts and equally impressive in pass protection allowing just six pressures on 280 pass sets.    No doubt the Colts love speed on their offense.  Jonathan Taylor was recently listed as one of the fastest players in the NFL last season.  Then the Colts drafted Anthony Gould who in 2023 Week 3 hit a top speed of 21.6 mph.  As UDFAs the Colts then brought in NC State Trent Pennix who in Week 6 clocked the fastest time by a TE at 20.6 MPH but also is a capable RB.  Colts also added QB Jason Bean (Kansas) who in Week 9 clocked an impressive 22.4 mph T5 fastest player in 2023.   Mock Draft   Round 1 WLB Harold Perkins Jr. (LSU) - As a true freshman led all LBs in Power 5 with a 91.0 pass-rush grade and second among all LBs in the country with 18 QB knockdowns (sacks/hits) and tied for second in the country with 4 *.  In 2023 as a true off-ball LB he struggled as a run defender but flashed in coverage, 81.1 coverage grade.  At the end of 2023 now recorded 27 TFLs and 13 sacks with 7 forced fumbles.  Made 2022 college football all-America Freshman Team.  In 2022 his 87.6 pass-rush grade by true freshman is 3rd best since the 2014 era, behind (Rueben Bain Jr-2023 and Myles Garrett-2014).  2022 PFF TOW 11 honors.  Like JOK, Perkins has a chance to win the Butkus Award.  Both JOK and Perkins have similar builds and ran a 4.42s-forty.  Do expect Perkins’ stats to dip if he does move to MLB and probably drop him to Round 2 grades much like Edgerrin Cooper in 2024 Draft Class.  Quick to drop into zone and covers enough ground to be Tampa-2 MIKE but some feel better suited as a WLB maximize range/speed.  Expecting Shaquille ‘Darius’ Leonard 2018-2021 vibes along with JOKs 2021-2023 production traits.  Both were drafted in Round 2 but should been first rounders.  Perkins replaces EJ Speed.   Round 2 Edge/RDE Elijah Alston (Miami) –Alston was an All-Sun Belt selection in 2023.  In 2023 he had a 91.0 overall grade and 90.5 pass-rushing grade based on 235 pass rush snaped while at Marshal Alston also racked up 36 QB pressures, 5 sacks plus 24 defensive stops during this period.  By mid-November Alston was ranked 4th best (Marshawn Kneeland was #3) Edge behind #1 Latu whom the Colts selected in Round 1.   2023 College Football All-Sun Belt Team.  Looking forward to the Cal game and how he does against RB Jaydn Ott, RT Victor Stoffel, and LG Rush Reimer.  Duke’s new RT Micah Sahakian matchup is another one would like to see.  RB Quinton Cooley (Wake Forest) who transferred from Liberty and earned 2023 College Football All-CUSA Team is another key matchup.  Finally, TE/WR Oronde Gadsden II of Syracuse could test his coverage skills.  The Colts done well and am looking forward to seeing Paye/Latu tandem then creating another one with Odeyingbo and Alston.  Ebukam will be a FA after 2025 but could be cut/traded save cap space.  Close build to Ebukam and Leo with 2” taller than Avery with Avery an upcoming FA and no guarantee we can resign Odeyingbo with the minimal cap space currently projected.   Round 3 LT J.C. Davis (Illinois) - The New Mexico Lobos ran a zone-scheme concept 318 times in 2023 and Davis was on the field for 316 of those snaps where he helped the team earn a 91.5 rushing grade with 58 explosive runs.  Davis is well-rounded earning a 78.6 inside-zone run grade and a 78.4 outside-zone run grade.  See how well Davis does after transferring the Big 10 this season.  Overall, 82.4 run-blocking grade in 2023.  Comparison Illinois Isaiah Adams was drafted #71 by Arizona and was ranked 8th best zone OL in 2023 and Davis was 5th best.  In 2022 Davis earned a 66.8 overall PFF grade and in 2023 had an 87.1 pass-blocking grade.  If the Colts do trade/cap release Braden Smith than Davis is a high target to hopefully take early to replace him.   Round 4 TE Jalin Conyers (Texas Tech) - In 2022 Conyers forced 21 missed tackles which led all TEs in the country.  Plus, ranked 4th in receiving yards after contact (170).  As a redshirt freshman in 2021 had a 73.5 pass-blocking grade while playing at Arizona State.  Conyers can be elusive with the ball in his hands.  In his first season was used heavily as a run-blocker (2021) and excelled as a blocker ranking him 4th in the Pac-12.  Back in August 2023 Rick Spielman said he may be the best run-blocking TE in the class behind Cade Stover.  Considered a true Y TE efficient at run-blocking and can catch with run-after ability.  Spielman said last year would have had a Late Day 2 grade, while Ryan Wilson says Rounds 3-4.  Potential to be a red zone monster in the NFL if he continues to grow his game.  Last year Round 4 was where tight ends were drafted and expect the same again in 2025.  Replaces Mo Alie-Cox.   Round 5 Edge/RDE Anton Juncaj (Arkansas) – 2023 College Football FCS All-America Team while at Albany.  2022 PFF grade of 75.1.  2023 final defense grade of 91.3, run defense 87.4, pass rush 90.6 and 68.5 coverage grade and racked up 55 tackles (34 solo), 21.5 TFL, 15 sacks, 3 PD and forced 5 fumbles.  Key matchups against RB Ollie Gordon II (Oklahoma St) the Reigning Doak Walker Award Winner from 2023 and projected first rounder LT Kelvin Banks Jr (Texas).   Round 6 Rover/SLB-SAF Justin Barron (Syracuse) - 2023 College Football All-ACC Team.  Defensive Captain. 6’4” 231 pounds had 0.5 sacks, 3 *, 1 FR, 1 INT, and 8 PDs in 2023 (81.4 PFF grade).  In 2022 had 64 tackles and 5 TFLs.  Reminds me of Jaylon Carlies whom the Colts just drafted in Round 5P151.  Key matchup versus Cal and RB Jayden Ott.  WR Eric Singleton Jr (Georgia Tech), WR Kevin Concepcion (NC State), WR-X Ricky White (UNLV), RB Desmond Reid, TE Justin Joly (UConn).  Solid in zone coverage.   Round 7 SS Mishael Powell Miami (FL) – Powell transferred from Washington.  In Week 8 he clocked 21.0 mph.  In 876 snaps in 2023 Powell played 477 in the slot, 165 in the box, and 122 at FS finishing with a strong 73.9 coverage and 69 defensive grades.   Potential UDFAs ·         QB KJ Jefferson (Arkansas) - 2023 PFF TOW 2 honors ·         R3-UDFA RT Jalen Travis (Iowa State) 6’7” 310 pounds - While at Princeton finished with an overall 80.7 PFF Grade and 9th best OT in D1 (89% pass blocking and 75% run blocking grades). – Much like OT Tyler McLellan (Campbell) signed with Chargers, project to UDFA in 2025.  See how he does at Iowa State against better competition as he graded slightly behind Kiran Amegadjie (Yale) who was drafted in Round 3 P11 by the Bears in 2024 NFL draft.  Listed as backup behind Tyler Miller. ·         LT Adam Karas (Air Force) - After 9 weeks Karas has an 83.9 run-blocking grade and an overall PFF grade of 87.4.  Overall, 86.3 PFF grade with just one penalty and 1 QB hurry on 296 total snaps.  Decent height 6’4” ·         RT Josh Fryar (OSU) - 2023 earned college football midseason all-America Honorable Mention.  Fryar finished 2023 with a 70.8 overall PFF grade.  Great height 6’6”.  Finished with a 70.8 PFF grade.  Gave up a team high 5 sacks but did earn a 77.2 run blocking grade and a 71.2 pass blocking grade. ·         LG Rush Reimer (Cal) – In 2023 Reimer earned first-team All-Big Sky Conference at LG with an overall 75.8 PFF Grade (D1-T8) at Montana State.  See how he does against better CFB competition.  Project goes UDFA much like Jake Kubas (7) (NY Giants), Ross Palmer (3), and (2) Donny Ventrelli (Bears).  Could be the next Mason McCormick (6) drafted by the Steelers P119 in the 2024 NFL draft.  Montana State used a lot of Inside Zone runs.  Cal has Reimer listed as backup LT for 2024. ·         RT/OG Grey Zabel (North Dakota State) 6’6” 296 pounds.  Zabel finished 2023 with an overall 79.3 PFF Grade as an OG.  Finished 10th among other listed tackles last season.  As a guard would have been 4th best D1.  Zabel started all 15 games in 2023 with 3 at guard and 12 at RT. ·         RB Harrison Waylee (Wyoming) – In 2023 clocked 21.8 mph in Week 4 T18 fastest player. ·         RB/KR Lan Larison (UC Davis) finished 2023 tied 7th overall FCS RB with an overall 89.2 PFF Grade (R5) in D1.  On 178 carries rushed for 1101 yards scoring 13 TDS while adding two more through the air on 21 REC for 198 yards.  Larison was the 2023 Big Sky Offensive Player of the Year.  In 2021 averaged 29.91 yards as a kick returner and 21.9 yards in 2022. ·         SWR/RB/KR/PR Chris Tyree (ND) 4.29s-forty speed excellent 3.95s shuttle (HS) and 38” vertical (HS).  In 2023 Week 9 clocked 21.0 mph. ·         WRX/Z Bo Belquist (North Dakota) 2023 overall 88.6 PFF Grade.  For D1 graded out as one of the top 10 WRs behind Hayden Hatten 86.1 whom the Seahawks added as an UDFA. ·         SWR Jacob De Jesus (UNLV) – best PR/KR #3 in PR and #13 in KR.  De Jesus was a top nomination to win the Jet Award in 2023 who was given to Zachariah Branch (USC). ·         WR-X Dymere Miller (Rutgers) – 2023 College Football FCS All-America Team with Monmouth.  Miller finished as the best receiver (D1) in 2023 with a 92.3 PFF grade (only behind Nabers).  Monmouth ran an inside zone with three different concepts in its base A gap zone.  Also pinched in as a kickoff returner with success (13.67 and 12.5 avgs). ·         WR Isaac TeSlaa (Arkansas) – Great Midwest American Conference Offensive Player of the Year in 2022 and received Honorable Mention All-American.  Strengths are ball tracking, hands, athleticism, 50/50 extraordinaire. ·         LEdge Aaron Lewis (Rutgers) -

      Larry Allen passed away at 52

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      Larry Allen, Hall of Fame OG/OT, passed today. He is arguably the greatest Offensive Linemen of all-time. He could play right or left Guard or Tackle. He won a SB with the Cowboys in 1995. He is also known for having the NFL bench press record, when he benched 700 pounds down to chest and up once. I am shocked this hasn't been bigger news around the league.    RIP big fella.
