I’m really trying to look at this as us getting the best draft position possible, but holy cow we’re bad. 

It's not just about the best position. It's about opening multiple possibilities. If HOU gets no. 1 this avenue gets closed automatically. If Chicago does, first we get better position and second, we might actually be able to trade to no. 1 for the guy we love, rather than having to settle.

Oh I know, I just hate watching us suck like this.

Nah man, sorry I'm not in that group of fans. 

Draft guarantees nothing I've learned.

I want to be entertained on Sundays, not watch a funeral each week . But to each their own of course.

The draft guarantees nothing, but it gives you options. We will be in a MUCH BETTER spot with the Texans out of that no. 1 spot and us as close as possible to it.

Think of it like this - this is nothing new. We already know this version of the Colts suck. Win or loss we still suck. There is nothing to win here by pulling out some ugly win that means nothing.

    • This whole time I never knew you were from Fort Wayne, I always thought you lived in Indy lol… We love to visit the zoo when I make my inevitable pilgrimage to Sweetwater (I’m a rocker 🎸).    Yeah I think Rod takes the cake, but I understand why some would say Bob Griese for Indiana.    Side note, if you are into rock bands one of my favorite bands of all time is heading to Fort Wayne this fall: Rival Sons. 
    • Believe it or not, but this hypothetical was a pretty real scenario for a while in the spring of 2012 before we let Manning go. Quite a bit of debate happened on this very idea.    In hindsight, I’d still have to say it was for the best for Peyton. I don’t think he would’ve made it to two more Super Bowls, let alone winning another one with us. Denver was stacked and primed. All they needed was a QB to guide them. We were the opposite. We needed a total rebuild.   As for Luck? I could see where him sitting would’ve benefited, but would he have learned to take less hits?    His rookie year was phenomenal. We went 11-5 and made the playoffs. At the time, it really felt like everything was working out for both Peyton and the Colts… 
    • Rod Woodson.😁. Actually from my city too.
    • What if, somehow, Jim Irsay had managed to successfully keep Peyton Manning and draft Andrew Luck?   I saw a graphic that compared how long ago every NFL team has started a rookie QB. Colts of course did it last year with Richardson. And with Luck. And with Manning.   Packers haven’t started a rookie QB since like the 80s.   Imagine if the Colts had let Luck learn from Peyton for at least a year or two, like Rodgers did with Favre.   Whether it was Polian, Grigson, or Ballard, let’s assume the staff could put together a team good enough for either QB to win. After all, the Grigson Colts with Luck beat the Manning Broncos. In the Playoffs.   But for the sake of argument, let’s say Irsay and whatever staff he chooses re-sign Manning, draft Luck, and then actually build an OLine to protect this thrice-in-a-lifetime QB passing-of-the-torch. Manning-to-Luck joining Favre-to-Rodgers and Montana-to-Young as the top-three greatest runs of QB play in the history of the NFL.   The careers of both Manning and Luck might have lasted longer with even more accolades. The 2010s coulda, shoulda, and woulda been the Colts decade.
    • It's what year 3 or 4 now? Time to eat or get beat!
