csmopar Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 54 minutes ago, RollerColt said: So he plays one game and then sits and ghosts the team for the remainder of the season… and then hits free agency and leaves. It’s possible but that would be such a scummy thing to do, and how would other GMs look at that and think “it’s fine he couldn’t do it to us, right? Right?” Plus it would set a precedent for other players to do the same down the road. I imagine the owners wouldn’t like that. So if he quits on us after 1 game, it’s also possible nobody calls him or his agent in the offseason. We’ll tag him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoColts8818 Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 Funny in the Taylor thread people are upset he didn’t say anything and felt the media was asking him soft questions and here people feel he was attacked.

They find reasons to be like that and nitpick everything, sad really. I am glad the Ravens smoked us like some suggested. I also find it comical back in 2020 when I picked us to go 11-5 and make the playoffs while half the forum called Rivers a noodle arm for no reason. Dude is a Hall of Famer, he deserves respect. Some in here don't read when I say we play bad or when I put the team down or I am critical of a player - it happens a lot, so you are right, people read what they want. Never said or thought it was all peaches or cream. Being a positive person is sure a lot better than being a miserable grouchy stooge though . Its tough for me to relate to this comment, as you seem to throw all people into two possible buckets, either positive or negative...then take sides. I believe most folks simply have a positive or less than positive opinion that's based upon the situation at the time. Carry on. Go Colts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt.45 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 1 hour ago, csmopar said: After watching that presser I will say this without a doubt, a politician, any politician, would have told less lies and been more direct with less deflections than what JT just spewed everywhere for 12 minutes. I think the issue was pretty clear and while it's not surprising that we (fans) expected more after the long dance, I think it's easier to understand how/why the conference went that way once you accept that nothing has changed. What lies exactly are you referring to? The major card he held back was answering the question about how long he's been healthy. That answer he gave about he and James healing differently was certainly off. He almost tripped there. Yes, he went off on tangents whenever he could but I thought if he spoke his mind, it'd have been a total mess. Ultimately, the player showed up because he had to. He gave answers to questions asked (not the answers fans want to hear) and deflected all the serious ones about a situation that's still ongoing. Maybe it'd have been better if he said he was there so he wouldn't get fined That conference went precisely how I expected it to because the player's demands have NOT changed. As a fan, all I can sanely care about is that he plays well in whatever time he has left wearing these colors. What did we all expect? *that wasnt close to the lies i listen to from politicians on FOX and CNN daily. He wasnt anywhere near as smooth and the fact that everyone knows he was deflecting tells you that...politicians lie and you think they love you. JT didnt do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are either positive or negative? I don't mind a difference of opinion or someone even disagreeing with me, but you read the posts in here, so don't play that game like you don't know who is negative all the time. There are even a few posters that don't show up after we win because they predicted we would win 3 games . I am a lot of things, but I am no dummy. After we beat Baltimore, I can call out 5 posters that didn't show up all week until we lost to the Rams. I mean how childish is that . I am here win or lose.

That’s all well and good but you have to get a contract signed with one of them before they become free agents. They also have to think about guys like Grover and Moore too. Clearly they can get people signed, having money I don’t think will be the issue. It’s the timing and I am sure Ballard has a plan but none of us know that plan so all we can do is speculate which is fine. 2 minutes ago, Restinpeacesweetchloe said: You also don’t take away your only WR thst has been consistent.

Heck if Taylor balls out he might even get extended by week 10. He just wants paid. If they show him the money he will stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superman Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 28 minutes ago, Colt.45 said: What did we all expect? He acted like the contract dispute and trade request are only based on media speculation. At one point he even pretended that he didn't hear one of the questions! It was gaslighting, and bad gaslighting at that. Imagine if Chris Ballard did this in his presser a few weeks ago... Instead, Ballard was sincere and direct. What I was hoping for was something simple and realistic. 'I'll leave all the business and contract related stuff for another time. Business is business, and it's not always easy, but right now it's time to get ready to play.' And if they ask again if he still wants to be traded, etc., just rearrange and repeat. Instead, JT pretended that it was all made up, and not worthy of his time. And look, that's fine if that's how he wants to play it. I definitely learned something about him and his stance today. But what was shocking is how some people apparently think this presser went well, when after I watched the whole thing I felt like it was a joke. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
