I remember watching the Colts on TV in 1983 with Mike Pagel at QB and thinking what a crappy team they were.  Then later learning they arrived in Indy, even though excited to get a team, I thought, oh crap, this will be painful to watch.  How I long for that team now.

Big issues....

  1. Reich
  2. Reich
  3. Reich
  4. Strausser
  5. Strausser
  6. Ballard

 

D has played pretty decent this year. 

 

Biggest Issue is the guy picking the talent which is Ballard. Reich has a SB win as a coach. We look like KC when Ballard was there.

Where? Nelson isn’t fully healthy, Smith has taken and step back. We need a C, RG, and LT. There is no talent or depth there at all.

We have plenty of guys who have shown that they can play at times... 

 

But they are not playing.... That's on coaching...

Don’t believe the hype. Reich wasn’t even allowed to call the plays during that Super Bowl season. And now we’re seeing why…

Pagel days; right after Jones went to Rams.

Actually, check out my strategy. I drafted Harris in the first round. Big oof. I got Adams in the second. So I waited till the 12th to take a QB when I took Carr betting on him and Adams to make him and MVP candidate. I had a chance to trade Harris for Kupp after W1 and I declined. Luckily I traded James Conner for Henry after W2 and that’s helped keep from totally killing my season. But my life is on. The line pretty much every week now. Just a series of lethal misfires. I took a bold strategy and it just did not pay off.

    • All - this is the real question.   What do the 32 GMs in the league know that the rest of us (we're on the outside looking in) don't know?   Answer that question and you'll have what you need to analyze the choices made by the leadership of your favorite team.
    • We have the weak secondary where a player in FA can be signed for a year and get a starting job. We also have the money to afford any of them. Not too many other teams have that combination of both factors right now. Also, the draft recently happened and I'm guessing a lot of these teams want to try out their early round picks in the secondary right now. We didn't draft anyone in the secondary until the 5th round. We are somewhat desperate (not to mention Daniel Scott is out for the year again). Other teams are not at the moment.
    • Why do you think A and B are the only options?    What’s the reason for Ballard to be cheap?   What incentive would there be?    Posters like Superman and w87r have crunched the numbers.  The Colts are among the league leaders in spending.     Ballard’s is going into his 8th year.  He’s been competitive in 6 of the 8 seasons and I personally think season 1 was a tank.    Also…. Ballard always says the team is always looking to improve.  It’s now mid-June, so the Colts have 5 more weeks to sign someone before camp starts.  There are a number of FA safeties available.  Why aren’t the other 31 teams signing these players either.  They’re certainly good enough.  But it’s Ballard who is wrong or incompetent or cheap or something and not anyone else.    
    • This is a great story on Mitchell. The part in here where Mitchell explains how much he appreciates Ballard going to bat for him was awesome.    
    • As the old saying goes, you want to draft guys who can get into the end zone, or guys who can knock down their QB.     I think the Colts are built that way.  With a lot less emphasis on guys who can cover their WRs.     Ball control, minimize their opportunities to score.
