You have ragged on Irsay and Ballard for as long as i remember reading your comments about them. I'm not sure you are a fan of the Colts or not?

I really think you love to find things to whine about no matter what goes on.  I 

If one looks at it objectively, there’s very little the organization has done right for a long time.

CC, I know I’m a Colts fan but man we’ve done some dumb stuff and haven’t had much success going on close to a decade now.

 

I actually joined this board about a week before Luck retired and was totally excited and positive.  Since then, we’ve had a rough time if it and these last couple of seasons have been disastrous and our org just looks terrible.

 

I really don’t understand what people are looking at if they don’t see that.

 

I wish people would just talk ball and lose the personal attacks.

 

I don’t initiate attacks but I also don’t back down from them.

 

in short there is a lot to whine about lol.

 

 

So what you’re saying is we can blame you for Luck retiring since you joined right before? Haha

I think some have been a colts fan long enough to think that any current GM sucks.  If you go back long enough, a person could be a fan of the Colts and also think the current owner sucks.

 

Many Washington Redskins fans thought that about Snyder and many of the GMs, and I bet many people thought those fans were "more real" Redskins fans because of their negative opinion of the owner or GM.

 

Being a fan of a team could be divorced from liking the owner and GM....and wish they would both get new jobs elsewhere.

I see all the media pundits are getting their cheap shots at the Colts and Irsay. Cowherd is one of them....what a clown that dude is. Mr. Flip flop himself.

For real.. everyone is crapping all over the Colts because of this... Even though the raiders are in the same exact position.. with the actual reigning rushing champ.. or am I wrong?

You're account says you've been here since 2019.   That thing about you always being right has taken a beating in the last 2 hours.   Joker

An example as to why stats and rankings could be flawed, and the eye test could be superior.

 

If true, that Henry is not on the field a lot during pass plays, then I would take it that the coaches think he is not good at pass pro, (superior to both the media and other players opinions).  I would take their word over a data compilation service like PFF who might only have a small sample size for which Henry excelled...you know, did well as pass pro when the defense didn't expect a pass play with Henry on the field.  

 

Or, he could be off the field during pass plays because the coaches don't think he can catch, and not because of pass pro.

 

The dynamic with Henry is sort of the same as with JT regarding pass pro.  I would throw them into the same bucket as being untrustworthy pass protectors based upon how the coaches are choosing to use them.

 

And, if they have catching issues...not saying they do...it would appear that the coaches do not value JTs and Henry's contribution to the passing game as maybe some other RBs.

 

Has JT been traded for two 5th rounders yet?  LOL.

 

People don’t understand what makes a good pass protector for a RB.  It’s not size and strength it’s lateral quickness.  You look at ras scored on agilities and both JT and DH are very very low, so there is no way either dude is ever going to be great in pass pro.  It’s just s physical impossibility. 
 

no trade yet DD.

Having natural forward body lean is also useful.  Edge, Addai, Vic Ballard, Ahmed Bradshaw.  Stand up runners usually engage more upright.

7 pro bowl players 2 seasons ago says different. 

Honestly the posters who only want to focus on the negative and just pat themselves on the back because they were “right” about something is getting old and adds nothing to the board IMO.  Has Ballard made mistakes running the Colts?  Yes he has.  However, he’s also probably found more overall talent than any GM the Indianapolis Colts have had not named Bill Polian.  You can talk about his faults while still acknowledging his successes.  That’s truly being objective.  Constantly being negative and dismissing any positives because they don’t support an agenda that just wants to talk about the negative is not.

I still believe there’s a 90% chance Taylor resigns with us. Taylor and the team were very far apart on compensation, so they are allowing him to see what he can get elsewhere. The Chargers did the exact same thing with Ekeler.

Colts never offered. They wanted to see him healthy first before anything was offered.

Something I think is funny is the people who say the sky is falling and Richardson is ruined if we trade Taylor. No life goes on and we will find another great QB. Way to dramatic.

I think you mean find another great RB...not QB.

You are essentially saying that posters' negative comments are being driven by negative bias and not objectivity. 

 

4 and 12, and the Colts generally underperforming expectations season after season, would suggest that coming to the forum with positive bias is rather futile.

Who are people?  Lateral quickness is great if they need to move.   If it's right in their face it's irrelevant.   Lower body strength, good hand placement,  body leverage.   A lot goes into it.   Lateral quickness is one part

Sooo hearing rumors the Dolphins have made an initial offer. Source: ESPN news

You may very well be right in the rumors but I don't believe much that ESPN has to say about the Colts.  The Colts have been  ESPNs favorite whipping boys for a while now.

This morning I read an article from Miami Herold regarding JT to Dolphins. They mentioned how strapped the Phins are with the salary cap. I suppose it's possible Miami pulls off a trade, but it seems very difficult for them financially.

They can do it, just going to have to make a lot of big decisions next year.

What I like to hear

 

Offers as in multiple.  Higher than a second?   Like I have been saying.  I think the Colts are going to do very well in any trade if it happens.  He’s a 24 year old playmaker in his prime.  All it takes is one team.

The only way we make the trade is if we do well.

 

Colts just have too much leverage to take a low ball offer.

Maybe circumstances changed in two weeks that caused them to change their minds.  That happens all the time in life.  Not a big deal.  Whatever is best for the team.

 

 Irsay is just taking the heat to keep it off Ballard and Steichen.

Taylor isn't needed in our new offense, and especially over the next couple of seasons. We invited him for his physical and he couldn't Man Up for his Team. He now needs to go.

Personally I think the Colts are not really interested in trading JT. They would take an offer they couldn't refuse but imo his value is not what he thinks it is.  Irsay and Ballard knows this and gave him permission because they both know it's highly unlikely a trade would happen.

The thing is trams might be willing to offer the colts good draft picks but not if they also have to sign him to a extension. So we will see but one side is not going yo get what they want. This entire situation is just sad.

I agree, but if they get the 1st thats reported they are asking for, they will do it.

 

It was a great move by the Colts to have this process to begin.

    • I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.  
    • You are too self-deprecating. You are one of the most respected and bright members here. You should never feel that you are failing. I'm sure your wife and children don't feel that way.  Indiana does not pay teachers what they deserve. But money is overrated. Having good morals and good character should be valued a lot more. JMO.
    • They make a heck of a lot more money than I do. Even those on the practice squad are making life changing money.    To be completely honest, as an educator I feel more like trash nowadays. One of those moments where I feel like I’m failing as a man, a husband, a father and a teacher. I would absolutely never consider an honest working NFL player as trash. 
    • Food for thought… Once again, you continue to be your own worst enemy.     The Colts overall TE room is loaded with young players most of whom have had very little playing time for a variety of reasons.   So if you want to say the room might not be ranked high, that’s fair.    But you don’t say that.  You call them “trash”.  Why you feel that’s appropriate is a mystery.   Whenever you try the internet tough guy approach it typically blows up on you.     No one is trash.     You ignore the last three years and the QB and HC carousel the Colts have dealt with.  All of which has impacted the Colts weapons, especially the TE’s.   Ballard has publicly talked about how promising he thinks his TE room might be.   Woods, Granson, Ogletree, Mallory and MAC.    Only MAC is questionable and that’s because the salary hasn’t matched expectations.  But the first four?   All are promising.   They’re just young and looking for opportunity.  But they are NOT trash.     There’s a difference.     
    • Some of the coaches?   That sounds plural to me.   To the best of my knowledge the focus in this community has only been on one coach who may not be maximizing the players the Colts have.   And that’s the defensive coordinator.  He’s been a hot topic of conversation.  But I’m not aware of any other coach being viewed in a negative light.
