Andrew Lucks sudden retirement

Carson Wentzs foot

Reichs firing/Saturdays hiring

JT debacle

Those are just a few of drama episodes in the past 12 years. I'm sure there was more.

It keeps worse and worse for JT. The marker has spoke. Jacobs is a legitimate top 3 back and look what he juat got paid!!!! I doubt Miami came close to what the Colts were asking. I have always said a 4th and tops a 3rd they offered.

Miami doesn't have a 3rd or 4th in 2024 to offer.

pay taylor he is our only game changer, ballard is paying non playmakers the big money what is ballard thinking?

He's probably thinking that he wants to see if that ankle is okay and if JT is still has breakaway ability with this new scheme?  I still think he's hoping JT comes back to his normal self and plays to win this year.

 

We'll find out within the next 48-49 hours or so.

Per PFT article:

"If the Raiders had offered $26 million fully-guaranteed over two years before the middle of July, Jacobs surely would have taken it. As we understand it, the Raiders didn’t even offer to guarantee two years of the tag (i.e., $22.2 million)."

Jonathan Taylor TRADE Down to Eagles & Dolphins

 

 

This guys Taylor report starts at 4:20 minute mark

It’s funny people are saying we should be running back by committee because we are going to run an offense similar to the Eagles therefore we don’t need Taylor.  They have Hurts and we have AR.  Similar quarterbacks same offense.  Yet apparently the Eagles want to trade for Taylor.  If they want to trade for Taylor then the Eagles and Dolphins see him as a difference maker who could put them over top.  The Eagles are a bonafide contender.  They were right there last year.  If any team would give them a 1st I would think they could talk themselves into it.  That pick has a great chance to be one of the last four in a round.  Not as low as a potential Dolphins pick.  Colts are hanging tough here.  Sounds like they have a two from both teams.  Getting down to the finish line.  Will one of them offer a 1st?  A condition 2nd?  We will know soon enough.  It’s a shame it’s come down to this though.  I would much rather have Taylor playing with AR.

So Drake cut; is there any back worthy to start now? Stop with JT starting right away when returns. 

Both Jackson and Moss have started in the past.  Are they going to be what Taylor is?  Not even close but they can start in the NFL.

Nothing has happened yet. I am almost sure the Colts want a 1st rounder in the upcoming draft for Taylor or 2nd round pick in the upcoming draft + maybe O.Line help to go with that pick. We are not just giving a guy away that is a top 3 RB who is 24 and a HR hitter for a BigMac. 

 

A Big Mac is better than nothing. :dunno: 

 

Serious question: Do you expect JT to play for the Colts this season?

Well if the Colts don’t trade him and he sits out all year there is zero chance anyone gives him what he wants next year in free agency, if the Colts even let him get there.

It’s not Ballard’s decision alone.   May I introduce you to Jim Irsay?   He’s the owner of the team.   On matters like this, his voice is the most important.

He won't sit out, he won't get paid and it is a real bad look + a year off from the NFL makes for major rust on a position player that relies on speed.

Yeah that was pretty much my point.  He wants to get paid in order to do that he’s going to have to play.

Irsay really has 100% leverage unless he does give Ballard some say in this. So I agree. I think he should let Ballard take care of this because it is not a QB situation.

Like most things done with the Colts the decision will be made by their “brain trust” which is Irsay, Ballard, and Shane.  It will be a consensus.

Why?  JT will start right away when he returns.  Wouldn't be the 20th RB to play with no preseason.

Gonna need a few days of practice before he is going to play.  It won't be right away.  He'll hold out until the first week, I'm guessing.

I cannot recall if Le'Veon Bell got what he wanted but he went to the Jets and flopped. He is now saying that he should have never held out. He could have been a Hall of Famer with the Steelers. He was good at rushing and catching passes but he thought he was too good for a team to pass on him. JT's agent thought the same of JT.

Bell lost a lot of money and was never the same after leaving Pitt.

I’ve never bought the agent was the bad guy here.  He’s doing what JT wants.  If he wasn’t JT would replace him like he did with his last agent when he didn’t do what JT wanted.

I still think his agent is a crap stirrer. Most agents are though but from what I have been reading, I don't think JT's agent is realistic in our situation.

Conan Obrien I Dont Know What That Is GIF by Team Coco

 

And that's cool, but what did that have to do with Holders tweet of the jersey? With the 3 teeth shivering emojis or what ever that thing is called? Lol. 

The picture wouldn’t load for me either, so I wasn’t even talking about that. The Walton family owns the Broncos, and someone on Reddit posted their JT Funko Pop figure with the information on the box stating he was a Denver Broncos player. That’s why I said with all that money, I’m sure they know more than we do. 
 

That’s a Funko Pop btw. Little vinyl figure. They make them for just about everything.

    • I gotta say you make arguments that you’d never accept from your students because they’re so superficial.      So saying Ballard has been mediocre to bad is tissue paper thin.  Why hasn’t Irsay fired this mediocre to bad GM?  Because he signed off on what Ballard did each year in real time, not after the fact.   Irsay knows Ballard has an eye for talent.  And as Ballard freely admitted in January, the Colts haven’t had more success because he failed to get the QB right.  These aren’t excuses, but it IS badly needed context — which you’d realize if you weren’t always looking for new ways to hate on CB.      As to what you and Moose “supposedly said”  there’s a simple way to verify.  Go to the Day 2 draft thread of Friday April 26.  It was between 3a and 4 my time when I saw it.  I believe it was recent.  Just add 2-3 hours depending on your time zone and you can see your conversation with Moose.   What was so astonishing, what makes me “prattle on” as you put it is how you two ever thought you were right?!?   Given your career choice you jumped to conclusions I’d like to think you’d never accept from your students.   Why you thought Ballard didn’t know more?  Why you thought you two knew better?   Ballard not only knows more, he knows dramatically more.  As I said in another post, he shared the tip of the iceberg.  He doesn’t share the part of the iceberg that you can’t see.  The 90 percent.  The absence of curiosity is stunning given your occupation.    Now, at the bottom of your post you brought up a new line of attack on me and I have no idea what you’re talking about?   I’m not an optimist?   Since when?  Based on what?   In my 12 years here, only 1-2 posters have ever made that claim.   So what are you talking about?     Finally….   You can stop calling me Sir.  It’s normally said with respect.  You don’t respect me at all.   I’ve extended olive branches publicly and privately, and both have been rejected.  Your choice.  So calling me sir is intended as an insult.   It’s old and boring.   Move on.   I don’t know why you “enjoy engaging with me”.   You take a beating.  But if that’s what you’re in to, be my guest.    Sorry this went so long….       
    • He loves you, you just don't know it (sarcasm) 
    • Cubs actually won one - beat the Giants finally.
    • Jared, put $50 on the Lakers to win it all. They are getting +4000 odds, you would win $2000, if you lose, you lose just $50. Hear me out, those odds will drop bigtime shortly because I think the Lakers will make a huge move to bolster their roster.    LeBron wins his 5th tying Magic and Kobe, Lakers tie Boston with 18. Perfect ending because LeBron looks like a hero + he just beat Kareem's record too. 
    • So….  You’ve been absent 7-10 days (more?) and you’re back looking to start not one, but two fights!  Okie-dokie!      If you want to call me names — fine.  I’d simply respond that my knowledge is counter-balanced by those who THINK they know a lot, but clearly don’t.   On to your other post.  That one is longer, and so will be my response.
