For the record, AR was 234 in college.  Showed up at the combine at 244.  Then at one point with the Colts said he was in the low 250’s.  But it’s not clear if he stayed at that weight or lost some of it. 
 

So do you think he’s in the 250’s now?   Heavier?   Honestly, the team typically updates the roster in mid-June.   So I’m reluctant to believe anything until the website gets updated.  Again, a camera angle can make a person look taller or shorter, heavier or lighter.  Just saying. 
 

NOTE:   FWIW:  just checked.  This website currently lists AR at 244. 

250 ?

 

That's jamarcus Russell territory

When AR got injured, I strongly felt it was partially due to injury he had to his shoulder in college and that it wasn't rehabbed correctly. I am happy he got the surgery and has taken the time with the top medical advisors to rehab his arm. It should be back to where it was if not stronger. Given his age, I rather this happen now than in the future when his body is a bit more beat up.

 

I think he's going to have a big season this year. Going to have his growing pains obviously but is definitely going to surprise some people with his accuracy and pocket awareness (very natural feel/navigation from what we saw). Pair that up with some Steichen magic and this team is primed for some competitive play against anyone in the league.

 

Zaire was recently on Chris Long's podcast and the topic of CJ Stroud came up. Zaire said that he was frustrated about some of the stuff Stroud was talking on radio row at the Superbowl. CJ apparently said that he carved the Colts up both times. Zaire had to remind him that A) he hasn't beaten Anthony and B) the first game when Anthony played the Colts were up like 28-7 in the 2nd quarter and playing nearly full prevent defense. It was nice to see the fire from Zaire about both AR and against CJ.

CJ also made comments about being glad he wasn't drafted by Indy and how Indy is boring. I know he has the nice "humble beginnings" story, but he's making himself feel like a villain early. You don't want to annoy people that might be your future coworkers or employers. It's a bad look.

But he carries it well.   Honestly I doubt he’s that big now….   One would think he’s in good shape now that he’s being active for the first time in roughly 6+ months.  
 

Im just thinking out loud….

I was referring muscle-wise not his actual weight. Compared to the start of the season where imo he looked smaller, I think he added a lot more muscle

I know a few of you think that I am an AR hater but I’m not. I really do hope he pans out, but you gotta admit he’s still a huge question mark. we don’t really know if he’s going to be a legit starting quarterback in the NFL he’s only played a handful games and we simply haven’t seen enough yet. I like his attitude and I like his athleticism, but I gotta see him make it through an entire year and make smart decisions. I mean some people would say we reached at taking him with the fourth pick that being said look how many teams reached this year! Anyway here’s to AR turning out to be the guy in Indy! Go colts!!!!!

I love the fact that Stroud is saying this stuff, it’s good for us and the Defensive bulletin board.

Good to see Jelani back too.

That's jamarcus Russell territory 

More likely Josh Allen territory.

I wonder if Pierce might be used more instead of just being a deep threat?

That's the hope, right. The real concern is that with the type of QB he is, avoiding hits isn't going to really be an option. He will have to get smarter about taking those hits and how he absorbs him.

Some have suggested that Ballard/SS has improved the WR room in order to go 4 WRs (wide I assume) sets.  That open set also opens running lanes for a QB, so, yeah, its probably planned for AR to run, and that element isn't gong to go away, IMO.
