Let’s be clear….   Matt Gay is overpaid to you.   Not to everyone.   But to you and others who think they’re smarter than Chris Ballard.   
 

You're entitled to whatever opinion you like.   But it’s not like you speak for all.  

He better get it together he hasnt been very reliable as of late.

I don’t care what he’s paid. I’m concerned that he may be on the decline and kickers go thru decline FAST historically.  So I’m kind of hoping we can sneak that Spencer kid on to the roster as a plan B just incase Gay is in decline

He looked good, it wasn't just everyone was bad.  Baker had a legitimately good off season.

that's good to hear, and i hopee it transfers to production in season

Mike Strachan had some good off-seasons too, and so did Deon cain.. etc

exactly. what he's paid is secondary to the fact he is underperforming.

I think if we cut Pinter he’s going to get picked up.  I just read where Dalton Risner is going on IR to start the season for the Vikings.  I think OL is going to be a position that will be popular at cutdowns.

I'm not sure I know what Pinter has ever done to warrant being kept to be honest.

Kickers go into decline historically when they’re old, as Adam V was.  
 

But Gay isn’t old.  He’s 30/31.  He’s still in his prime.  He declined last year due to a groin injury, otherwise he has been consistently good.  That’s why the Colts paid him what they did.   4/22m. 
 

Obviousky, I want what we all want.  A solid, reliable kicker.   I expect to see that this year.  I’ll be disappointed if we don’t.

 Hmmmm! Some said he played pretty good when he filled in for Kelly a couple of years ago. Sorry you missed it. And if you cared to watch we have been running all over them this pre-season and he has been good. And passing well too of course. He was decent playing some guard also.

edit: i see sam was cut too

Sam was one of Franks guys not Shanes.

 

I think Shane wanted to take good look last season but Sam's physical limitations were pretty obvious. 

 

Ideally you want to draft a qb and have him be so good a team will want to trade a pick for him. That wasn't happening with Sam.

 

Hopefully Sam will hook up with another team but I really feel he'd make a good coach.

 

Good luck Sam !

The emergency QB rule extends to the PS so you can keep your third QB without wasting a roster spot

Questions: Do we have to activate that QB for that game? Can we bring up the same player all 17 regular season games, or is there a limit? Or does that 3rd QB stay listed as PS, but allowed to come in if catastrophe hits the first 2????

Perhaps this article may answer some of your questions.

 

https://www.profootballrumors.com/2024/08/nflpa-nixes-emergency-third-qb-rule#ref=home

 

Also, from the Athletic:

Quote

Quarterbacks signed to a team’s practice squad will once again only be allowed to be elevated three times a season, as with other positions, before having to be signed to the 53-man roster or released.

 

The vetoed rule would have removed this stipulation and allowed a practice squad quarterback to, in theory, serve as the emergency third quarterback without ever having to be signed to the 53-man roster.

 

With the NFLPA’s veto, clubs could choose to keep an additional QB on their initial 53-man rosters.

Thanks!  That certainly changes things!   Going to need three, it seems.  And being that it just happened- that alters the leaked possible cuts!

 

I believe so.

Well apparently NFLPA vetoed the idea so it's a moot point now.

It's a timeless tradition on the Colts site. Remember Chad Kelly?

He is become quite polarizing in the CFL.  He is the best player in the league but he can't keep himself out of trouble.  He is a complete * but does have talent.  I suppose nothing different from what anyone was saying about him during his time here. 
He was just reinstated and played his first game back last week after a suspension for harassing a strength and conditioning coach. Pretty much on his last chance with the Toronto Argos, and with his success in the league and with that team it is really saying something. It must suck being his coach or OC!

I do not think that any team is going to cut a player to add the Colts 3rd team center.

Maybe, maybe not, but backup O-linemen are a hot commodity right now. Supply and demand are in Pinter’s favor.

A big run shopping S. Available because he is weak in coverage. We let his equal or better go.

Going off PFF he is overall better than the backups we have and his 60.1 rating in coverage is not a liability as much as the depth players we have now. I’m talking about making the overall depth better. Not suggesting he be a starter

    • I agree to  point, it depends upon what the demands are.  But Mannings should have the clout to influence, maybe not control, Arch's destiny (if he's going to be that good, we don't know that yet).  And in a way, I'm not sure the NFL FO would get in the way a lot as to not see one of its potential stars....in terms of play and name legacy...get ruined by a bad organization and out of the NFL in a short time.   I think the chances of your prognostication happening are decent.  It will be interesting.
    • I think the  Peyton would not  want him going to Indy. You would have the never ending comparisons and I believe that was part of Eli not wanting to play for the Chargers. I could be wrong but I believe they wanted him in the NFC. The bigger point is also that if it came to be that  the Colts had the pick when Manning was available. That would also be an indication that the Colts would be a dumpster fire and they would probably want no part of it.  Based on wins, losses, lack of play off success, FO office drama. I bet the Colts has lost some of it's value. Sure it is still worth billions but no doubt the shine is no longer there
    • No, and this is not news.  For a while, folks have been leaning on the Buckner trade as being a great (use of) pick.  But Buck was known as a very good NFL player already, which is not the same thing as using picks on college players you think should be good.  The college evaluation/valuation process has not been good.  That's pretty evident, IMO.
    • Easiest way to fix the Colts defense is to fire Gus Bradley. First it was Michael Lombardi (who I generally don't agree with) who said that Gus defense is simple and now even JJ Watt has said that he runs a defense that doesn't make adjustments for the opponent and defensives that that don't do that generally fail in the NFL. It's interesting to see two weeks in and more and more people are coming out and saying that " Bradley's system is ineffective."   It won't help us much this year but I do believe that Bradley's system is holding back the talent on the defense and him having favorites puts blinders on improving positions (Facyson).
    • When  it is his draft year, he will most likely be the number 1 pick if he continues to excel. There is not doubt in my mind that if the team that is picking is a complete dumpster fire. The Mannings will pull another Eli. They will have a lot of control and the team that is drafting him will have to give into the Manning's recommendations. Thats the way it should be. I always said Bryce Young would be a bust due to his body makeup. That being said, he is getting no help in Carolina and it basically looks like his career is over after only 2 years. This will not happen to Manning. I bet if  Manning's draft year next  was in 2025 and Carolina had the pick.  The Mannings would probably have a list of demands before even entertaining the thought of Manning going there and that is the way it should be.
