Inman had the 2nd best hands, TY is only better. Instead we let Inman go and sign Funchess who won't even play a full game for us.


Yeah a bird in hand was worth more than two in the bush. They probably had high hopes for Cain, Funchess and Campbell but didn’t anticipate the numbers would turn out this way due to injuries.

Oh yeah nobody can predict injuries, this is easy hindsight  talk but I thought it was a mistake to get rid of Inman in the 1st place. I was also iffy on the Funchess signing when it happened.

I was iffy on funchess  signing,  but if he hadn't  got hurt I think our record  would be better

If Inman is healthy he’s an excellent pickup. He caught everything thrown at him last year and totally stabilized a struggling WR corps. My assumption is Ballard had a price ceiling to resign him and Inman and his agent felt he was worth more and could get it. Water under the bridge now, but I like the guy and hope he’s in the lineup this Sunday.

They didn't really let him go. 

 

He was a FA they didn't, or couldn't, resign.

 

Exactly. Inman himself tweeted he wanted to test the FA waters. He did and by the time he realized he wasn't cashing in, the Colts had signed Funchess and he(inman) was odd man out.  Funny how quick people forget...

Amen to that. 

yep.  And BEFORE someone brings up the whole draft pick order.  Even if we lose out, we're not likely to get to the top 10-12.  There's 16 teams with records worse than ours. 14 of them with only 4 wins a piece. Which means we'd have to lose out and at least 5 of them would have to win out for us to even sniff the top 10 in draft order.  Looking at the schedules of the teams currently 10-15 a head of us in the draft order, its highly unlikely for any of them to win more than 2 games, let alone all 4 as those teams play top teams such as the Ravens, Patriots, Texans etc.  Bottom line is, we're gonna pick somewhere 15 and down in the order.

Not a shocker.

 

I bet he will be signed soon.

I hope so, should have never been released.  The real question is for how long?  for 4 games seems silly, maybe this year and next for sure with a team option for the 3rd year.

Per Stephen Holder Colts indeed tried to resign him last offseason, it just didn't work. Holder ounded it was rather on Inman.

 

 

I hope we can sign him for a longer contract 1+2 year or something like that. And I also hope he won't got injured like other FAs... :-(

Which is where they should pick anyway. The Colts aren't a bad team; they are decimated with injuries and have a major QB issue to resolve. My guess is they finish 8-8 and end up around pick 18-20. That won't net them one of the top QBs, but it will get them a stud at WR. Or place kicker. O.o

    • I’d be loathe to give up next year’s 1st.  I’d do 1st & 2nd this year and 2nd & 3rd next.  From AZ perspective, that’s quite a haul to move down only 11 spots. For a team needing to build, 4 high picked players for 1 = excellent team building move.
    • A lot of people  agree with him. In my opinion Lawrence  isn't  that good compared  to his hype. Stroud already looks like a better qb than him and probably  would have faired even better  last year had dell not gotten hurt. This is not to say Lawrence isn't a good qb he is just not as great as the hype warrants. With the hype he got coming out I expected  Pat Mahomes, Tom Brady, peak Manning type performance. Oddly enough  Mahomes  didn't  have that hype.
    • I think odunze, Harrison,  and nabors are all better than pittman that's for sure and there there are several  wrs better than pierce as well as well as many corners that are better  than what we have.
    • Sure alot can get a 1000 yards, but what makes wrs elite are the ones who score alot and catch first downs. Colts don't have a wr on the roster that scores alot. Pittman is a wr 2 in my opinion. Pierce a wr 4 with wr 2 potential. Downs wr 2/3. Neither one of those guys are marvin Harrison  or Reggie Wayne. None of our safeties are Bob sanders. None of our edge rushers are freeney or Mathis. No Nick harpers, Kelvin Hayden, marlin Jackson, or vontaome Davis at cb So we can stand to improve  at wr, s, pass rush,and cb. We have alot of solid  guys sprinkled across the roster but very few I'd consider  elite. Buckner, Nelson, and a healthy Taylor  are among the elite. That is why I'm hoping for a game changing player in the first round. Most rookie corners aren't  that.
    • Two relevant points.   Regarding the team ALWAYS going to be run first team, RB shelf life is short and JT has already played a lot of years compared to average peak time for RBs, so there aren't many years in him into the future unless he goes on like Adrian Peterson. This team was run first because QBs weren't good, was it run first with Andrew Luck? I don't think this team is going to be run-first offense ALWAYS, especially after drafting AR, while expecting him to grow to be a franchise QB-level passer.   Yes, it's all true that Jefferson got drafted at 22,Ceedee went 17, Juedy went 15 , Aiyuk 25 and Higgins 33 but GM has gotta pick the right guy at right time and other teams shouldn't get to the right guy before Colts do.   For every Jefferson at #22 example, there's a Jalen Reagor at #21. The toughest part in picking Jefferson at #22 is not picking a bust like Reagor and missing out on Jefferson. As you go away from the top of the Draft, hitting on busts is more likely than exactly drafting the perfect right guy. Drafting isn't that easy, without the help of hindsight.    Right now, We can't name which of the WRs in upcoming draft will be a good value, good return pick, even though this draft class is super, super deep on WRs. Of course, 4 years later in 2028, everyone can point out Jefferson or Higgins or Lamb or Aiyuk of 2024 WR Draft Class.
