The best Dlines rotate linemen.

 

watt is a versatile lineman.  If he’s released I am pretty certain we will be interested.

He is a DE. If he moved to DT, he is not the prototypical DT in this system. They r explosive. He is to big to play DE in this system.

I think he was referring to the OP statement "This hopefully reinforces the fact Luck isn’t coming back".

I would of much rather hear that Hines said something that reinforces the thought that Luck might come back.  

Really though, what we think doesn't matter.  Ballard and Irsay know what is happening.   It's OK for fans to speculate.  We've talked about Stafford, Darnold, Ryan, Carr, Eason and many more.   They are all long shots.  But we do know that the Colts will have a starting QB when the season starts.  

Because all these luck return rumors are a distraction. But irsay has put it to bed

I mean, they traded away Hopkins, who was best friends with Watson. The Texans have proven themselves to be a pretty stupid team

That was before he signed his huge deal.  If he had concerns he shouldn't have signed the contract.

Gotta say, the constant feed of news about former Colts QB's is getting .... I'm not sure. But it'd be cool if we had one?

Just add the quote from Irsay in that article (article was published 2/4/2021):

Quote

"He's more retired now than he was a year and a half ago," Irsay told Bowen. ... "He definitely is retired and there's really no wiggle room or rumor or anything, as much as people would like to hear that. Believe me, I wish it was true and I was hiding some big announcement ... but that's just not the case."

 

I think it's safe to say that puts the kabash on this rumor.

This thread sucks

just as well he does not return. We need a young 23 year old stud big and strong that can run fast and hard,no more slides,and can throw long and hard.Not another 30 something  year old who has not played the last couple years.

Not one time did I take serious the rumor of Luck returning but Luck is not just another 30 something year old QB. 

He was just coming off one of the best seasons of his career when he walked. 

If he were to change his mind I would jump for joy in his return. 

No more slides?  Do you have a clue on what a QB has to do to protect himself?

You must mean stay retired.
