Still here and feeling the same as i did before about him

 

We are not going to go 0-17 with him, i dont want him back though 

What if his arm issues are related to his injury? If he could have surgery/heal in the off-season, wouldn’t it be better to focus on the online. There are better QB’s in 2024.

Colts have scored 2 touchdowns since I took off my jersey.  I wonder what would happen if I actually burned it?

 

Actually, I took the trash out and missed the entire Flowers 89 yard return and TD and before I knew, it was 16-10.

 

Don't worry, we all contribute.

True, but Wentz could at least throw the ball more than ten yards downfield. Ryan’s arm is more washed than Rivers’ was

Rivers got us to 11-5 and a playoff berth with rookies Pittman & JT,  Wentz had an improved Pittman and Taylor as an MVP candidate and choked his tail off down the stretch, finishing 1 game over .500 and out of the playoffs despite 2 consecutive "win & in" games to end the season, both against interim Head Coaches who beat us.

As an aside, I really dislike these Colts helmets. Uuuuggly. 
 

Go Colts!

Kind of a throwback to some alternate helmets from the Manning days if I’m not mistaken...for the alternate helmets, why not just do an all blue helmet with a white horseshoe?

Matt Ryan is actually starting to look comfortable. Stepping up in the pocket. Looking downfield. These last couple of drives, he has shown glimpses of his younger years. 

I literally was going to type the same thing. You can tell when he loses his happy feet that he's actually looking downfield.

lol yes, lurking and waiting 

 

I understand. We Colts fans were Broncos fans only because of Peyton, happens when you are a fan of a guy than the team. But Broncos fans weren't as attached to him, just like Colts fans aren't attached to Matt Ryan to give him a free pass easily because he hasn't won them as much, yet.

I like Hooker in this draft, I wouldnt wait.  That wouldnt take a top pick either

I never compared Rivers to Wentz. Rivers was the best QB we’ve had since Luck. Rivers did excellent for us, but the fact is that he had lost a lot of arm strength at that point in his career

    • Thanks for this as yes, I sometimes don't adequately express my take I guess..Ha!! Happens. 🤷‍♂️ But you are correct. Cam to me as you stated was never a consistently good QB at the NFL level and that is why I was never a fan of his game. I guess it's all about how one views what an NFL QB should be or look like. I'm not a fan of Lamar either as I think he is somewhat in the mold of that type of QB. Great athlete who just happens to play QB. Outside of that Raven scheme, I'm not sold on the fact the Jackson could ever flourish. It's why over 90% of the time if Lamar is needed to bring the Ravens out of a deficit he can't do it. It's not his game, yet there are those who think Lamar is superior and he has achieved personal accomplishments. Ravens do consistently win though but it's an entire team deal as their defense is normally rock solid to compliment that run first style. We don't have that here in Indy
    • I already laid out the injuries.  You can say what you want but one was the coaches pulling him in the Rams game because they were down multiple scores with little time left, two of the others were a concussion and a shoulder injury that required surgery so that rules out toughness.  Then the Steelers game he tried to comeback and clearly wasn’t moving well and it’s reported he has injury that does cause players to miss time and there is a chance he plays Sunday which seems to be counter productive to people who want argue he’s not tough enough.  None of those involve him lacking toughness.  It’s a nonsense argument made up by fans who are tired of him being injured.     also Richardson has taken wicked hits and hopped right back up from them.  To the point people complain about the league not protecting him with roughing the passer calls.  If he had no pain tolerance he wouldn’t get up from the those hits.   yes he needs to be better at protecting himself.  Again that has nothing to do with toughness.   Also I am not comparing him to Luck if you read my post.   I am pointing out Irsay is acknowledging they are being cautious with Richardson and injuries because of what happened with Luck.  That’s not comparing the two players.
    • IMO the only reason to not play Richardson (when healthy) is if you've given up on him. Joe Flacco has a role on this team and that role is secondary or tertiary to the main goal of this team at this moment - namely developing AR and figuring out if he can be our franchise QB. The best way to do both of those is to play him and let him gain experience and playing time... And, ultimately to get enough snaps that you feel comfortable with whatever decision you come to about his long term prospects. And IMO the only reason to bench him is if you think you've gotten the answer to that primary question and it is negative.    Otherwise, we are doing the same thing we were doing the last 3 years before we drafted him and IMO that's the worst place to be as a franchise in regards with your QB... Where you not only don't have a franchise QB but you don't even have the hope of having one on the roster.   I can't believe this conversation is even being had. If he can play... He has to play.
    • The kid chose not to slide to protect himself and was in a really awkward position when he did get a good NFL wallop. It’s absolutely brainless to do that after getting knocked out of games and the season.   Maybe he needs to sit on the bench for another season. Let him play  play play, what, for another game or two until the next stupid injury?  He still has a lot to learn and it looks like to me we are rushing an inexperienced kid into something he isn't quite prepared for.   AR seems humble, maybe a bit more humility regarding a possible Superman complex would serve him and the Colts very well long term.  What AR IS in years 4 and beyond is what Wise Colts fans should be concerned about. And yes, like me, many here are getting old enough we Want It Now! It's an unreasonable expectation for a kid that can't throw an out that isn't a mile high, and hasn't the sense of when and how to protect himself. 
    • I don’t listen to games anymore because I don’t work on Sundays anymore. But man sometimes listening to the game is better than watching it. Kinda miss Matt Taylor getting all pumped..  I-N-D-Y lol
