I beg to differ....he is absolutely unequivocally unproven post surgery....throwing in a planned session and "playing" real football are completely different. How is he going to be under pressure and in real game settings....I'm not saying it's not worth taking the risk I just don't think they needed to pony up that kind of dough for him.

I am glad you arent an NFL owner ( of course i wont be shocked if you are Jim Irsay )

I know it's MANNING and all...but for an unproven player (post major surgery) I'm surprised it's THAT MUCH!

I am, too HBH...

but they sent medical teams to check him out...

I hope Mr. Irsay didnt make a mistake here..

He didnt want to risk Manning's health and he believes in Luck's ability.

JI can be wrong about one but he cant be wrong about both...

..or we're going to be in the basement for a long time..

Hope is a good thing. Atleast keeps you positive. Almost like a fantasy land.

Like I said - they have all kind of safety nets regarding the neck. They don't have to pay him if it gets re-injured.

No matter what uniform he wears for the last few years of his career, Manning will always be a Colt and his news is relevant in this forum.

great, I will be sure to start a new thread in this forum everytime Garcon drops a pass from RG3. Colt for life, amiright?

Or when Lacey gets burned again with the Lions.

Or when Gonzo is still on the sidelines with the Pats.

Fun times.

Same thing, what does any of that have to do with Manning?

Oh, I see you lack any other sort of intelligent response so you paint a ridiculous picture and try to act like it has some validity.

Here's the difference:

Did Irsay fly those other guys in his personal jet and have them speak at a new conference when they were no longer going to be with the organization?

So let me understand the point you are attempting to make here....

Because a former player was (1) flown in the Colts' private jet, and (2) participates in a news conference announcing his separation from the team, he is then entitled to be followed by the Colts forum for the rest of his career?

I think that is rather thin.

So it looks like, as a practical matter, the $18 million in the first year is all that's guaranteed. I think this works for both sides.

He did give the Colts an out when he signed his 5 yr. contract, he is doing the same thing with the Broncos.

Just goes to show you Peyton is not all that unreasonable as some might make him out to be in contract negotiations. I think it is a fair deal for both sides.

      I wasn’t being serious.  That’s why I included the smiley face at the end.

      By AwesomeAustin · Posted

      Ballard has been saying it for years that the trenches are where it’s at. Doesn’t matter what era of football has been around, you control the line of scrimmage and you control the game. He has accomplished it on the O side of the ball but has tried for years to get a DL that can do the same. I think we will see it come together this year and into the next two.

      Harrison Played Mostly At Safety In Mini Camp.

      By AwesomeAustin · Posted

      Harrison, Cross, Blackmon and Thomas is not a terrible group. Someone obviously needs to step up and play beside Blackmon at his level. I think there is enough ability with those four to roll with them into training camp and see what happens.

      Pass rush.     That is the key.  Control the line.  Make him make plays.  Make him uncomfortable.  Hey, if he Stroud beats us with his talent and we’re making him complete these great plays, then chalk it up to the game.  But we can’t allow him (and any other qb) to be comfortable and pick us apart.     I hope we see our front 4 provide that pressure because that will make everything else much easier.  I honestly believe we have the corners for our scheme in Moore, Brents, and jones.  But we don’t have the pressure.  Or the FS unfortunately.  Our corners jobs in this scheme isn’t to run step for step with wide receivers.  It’s to stick with them and prevent YAC.  Moore is the best nickel in the game, Jones was one of the best corners PERIOD in preventing YAC, and I think a healthy Brents will be good too.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By smittywerb · Posted

      Agreed.  After this last off season, I kind of give Ballard a pass on taking long to find a certified DE (if Latu pans out).  Like QBs, they don’t grow on trees.  You either have to draft one high, get lucky with one in the draft, or sign one in FA for loads of cash.  All I can ask for him as GM to do is try.  He hasn’t been perfect by any means but at least he’s tried with the DE position specifically.   i also think Shane being here has changed his thinking.  Before, Ballard might’ve went with Turner due to the higher upside.  But maybe Shane differs and wants proven players.     Either way, I’m glad we possibly have our stud at a premium position for the next 5 years at a cheap rate.     And gotta thank the Falcons for us landing Latu.  Lol
