Sam isn't starting a regular season game unless Jacob and Carson have covid

Agreed. At least, not this year.

Running Hines into middle of traffic, when has it worked percentage wise? 

I don't mind the occasional run up the gut to keep them honest, but I hate when they use Hines as the bell cow...

IMO, their intent will be to phase in PC on the outside at Z, and phase TY out. I wouldn't run PC at slot much as I just don't want to risk banging him up.


Yeah I get it too. Plus PC has that 4.31 40 speed to stretch the field, which what you want in your Z. Pascal and Pittman to work underneath which is their game.

So far Sam hasn’t thrown any passes you have to make in the nfl. Seems the only pass he can throw is the crosser. He can’t fit it to the boundary  or tight windows in the middle of the field.

Interesting nice to know. I can't see game so relying on description

He's a rookie.

He's never played in a regular season game.

You are a broken record.

Well, Eason is going to likely walk into a golden opportunity to stand out today.... Ehlinger has been ok, but hasn't done anything to really stand out in a good way, having the advantage of more supporting cast this week.

I know, MN has their ones in as well, but Sam hasn't looked like he fits the rest of the talent on the field this far tonight...

Even if he did all three...you wouldn't admit it.

Ive yet to see anything good from him! Yea that pass was high but hit his hands which should have been caught! Ima keep saying hes a bust until he starts showing he can do something!

So if I throw you a bad pass that’s high and it barely touched your hands, is it your fault or mine? I can jump for a ball all day, but if it’s too high, then who’s fault is it?

    • And those are about the best signings the Colts have done under Ballard in 8 years.    Has Ballard even spent over $10+m once in a FA? Gilmore maybe? That’s once. In going on 8 years.    Noone does what Ballard does and he hasn’t had success doing it, so noone’s trying to replicate it. 
    • For your consideration….   Nobody knew who Ebukam was when the Colts signed him week 2 last year.   And nobody knew who Denico Autry was when the Colts signed him in week 2.   “Who?” Was the most popular comment both times.  They turned out really well.      Im not sayin Ballard is going to do it again this year, it hasn’t happened every year, all I’m saying it’s happened from time to time so it’s still possible that CB will find a keeper that people here will like. 
    • Could he do it?  Sure, but it is much tougher for him than most owners in the NFL.  The Colts just layed out $200 million this free agency.  I imagine over half in guaranteed money.  That’s a lot for Jim. 
    • With all that said...       
    • Spending doesn't mean you will win. You still need to spend smart and you still need to draft well and overall make good decisions.    Not spending limits you in your roster construction. I don't know why it's so hard for people to understand. The best teams in the league use ALL available avenues for improving their team. They do not limit themselves artificially with what's possible to achieve. They also concentrate resources into windows of contention. This means at any given time, if you are not spending you are competing against teams that are pouring resources into trying to win it RIGHT NOW. You will just always be at disadvantage because while 1 specific team will need to reload and take their lumps for spending too much in short period of time once in a while, the league as a whole will always have at least a few teams that are in that high spending mode chasing a window for contention.    Now... is it possible you strike gold and beat those teams while relying almost exclusively on the draft? It's possible. If you string together a few insane draft classes. But it's not very likely...
