All I know is the man puts teams in supwr bowls. Instead of wasting time on a few draft picks look up his teams win %. The man will be in the hall one day. If you support Manning, would you hate on him so much if he had a few bad seasons or games, no you look at the body of work. Polians teams have always been elite.

05

1st Marlin Jackson

2nd Kelvin Hayden

I would not consider either a bust, both did very well on first contract and we won the superbowl with them as top 2 corners

06

1st Joseph Addai

All around back, won us a SB and is not done contributing. IN NO WAY WHATS SO EVER A BUST

07

1st Gonzalez

He has had some injuries or would have been a great pick. He should have a big year this year and show what he can do!

08

2nd Pollak

He has been a solid lineman and is not done getting better and contributing to our team.

09

3rd Powers

The dude is a stud and is going to show us all this year that he can play as a #1 CB

10

1st Hughes

Word has it he is looking outstanding this year. Hard to show ur stuff when u r behing Mathis and Freeney but I think we may hear his name a lot this year and years to come.

2nd Angerer

Looked good as a rookie and really fits our system, i think he will start for us or a long time. Very solid pick.

3rd Thomas

He got hurt in training camp last year. He could have made a difference for us right away but he will for sure get on the field this year, I really hope he turns out as good as the colts thought he would.

11

1st Costanzo The dude will be protecting Manning's blind side in his rookie year. I, like everyone else, expect big big big things from this kid. Very glad we picked him

2nd Ijalana A first round talent that we got late in the 2nd round. He will contribute to the O line in his rookie year and eventually be our starting RT for years to come.

3rd Nevis Already being compared to Warren Sapp! very good footwork and great motor, the man could be a difference maker right away.

I have not seen you post a single positive post on these forums. Not every 1-3 pick has worked out but most have. I like the way our team is ran and the players that represent it. Polian has turned our program into a consistent power house that wins ball games. We have been spoiled as colts fans and I appreciate that. Fans like you do not deserve to celebrate when we become the first team ever to win a home Superbowl!!!! Go horse :coltshelmet:

Marlin Jackson, Kelvin Hayden, Joseph Addai, Jerraud Powers, and Pat Angerer are busts? News to me.

Jury still out on Hughes (as much as people here want to write him off after one season), Thomas, Moala, and, IMO, Brown (I don't think it's worth writing him off yet either).

Wheeler is still with the team, even though he's nothing special. So is Pollak, who is only backup quality tbh but is a bit better than people around here give him credit for.

Pitcock, I don't know if we could have predicted how that went down.

Jennings was ok, and is doing well on another team, so I wouldn't say "bust".

Burns, Keiaho, Ugoh, and Hughes were definite busts.

And they're all gone.

The only guy on that list who you can really make the argument that Polian is hanging on to because he doesn't want to admit it's a bad pick is Pollak, and as I said, I'd actually be perfectly happy with the guy as a backup. They got rid of the 4 guys I said were definite busts fairly quickly. Even people who don't much like Moala aren't saying we should cut him. Thomas has had injury problems and for the most part the fans are cutting him some slack.

While I agree that he hasn't found many "stars" in the first 3 rounds lately, that doesn't mean they're all busts. So many highly drafted players bust anyway, that finding a starter-quality player, or even an effective role player, even if he's not a cornerstone of your team, is a win in my book.

By leaving Carolina, Polian single handedly turned the Panthers into the pampers haha

THANK YOU! I respect the man - Great GM - but I no longer think he walks on water. Not after he was so clueless with "who cares about going for a perfect 19-0" fiasco. He had no idea the sh-tstorm the fans were going to rain down on him for doing that!

All the front office haters, just think if they were as dumb as some say, what would you be saying if we would have made that mistake

I don't think anyone is doubting what Bill Polian has done. That doesn't mean that everything he has done has been perfect though. There are some things that have made me scratch my head and the Faulk trade ticked me off to no end, but overall we have won a SB with Polian and he has done a great job.

We did end up drafting edge after the faulk trade.He was pretty good.

here let me rephrase the question:

Would you rather have a 4 time MVP QB who is one of the best players of all time

OR

Would you rather have a QB who lasted 4 or 5 seasons, and never had a season with more TDs than INTs

You be the judge, by I'm sticking behind Peyton.

      AR is on the McAfee show. He just said he is 100% and has never felt better. Then he went on to say, opposing teams haven't seen nothing yet once JT and I lineup in the backfield!

      AD Mitchell Not Signed

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      I have read numerous scouts and they had him ranked as the  #3 WR in the draft based on talent. I loved the pick but let's not fool ourselves, there is something that made him drop to the 2nd. I am not going to say it is character and/or lack of production. Ballard can go on his rant all he wants, but there was a reason. If he succeeds and becomes a legit #1, then we will wont care. My guess is if he fails to live up the hype, then we  it will leak out why he never reached his full potential. At this point, I couldn't care a less, as I loved the pick at the time and it was the Colts taking a chance with some questions about Mitchell. The one thing I did not like was Ballard going on his rant is he should have just kept quiet and said we like he player. Him going on a rant leaves him open to criticism if for example Mitchell does not work out and say it comes out that he has a poor attitude, work ethic etc.

      Your surprise opening day starter

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      Actually,  I don't think you can really say who is the #2. I think, they actually want Pittman to be relegated to that role as they are hoping that Mitchell or Pierce can finally assume that take the top of the defense  #1 wr.  I don't put to much stock in Mitchell unseating Downs as they play to different positions. Downs is the slot and Mitchell is hopefully that legit #1 that the Colts have never had. So in saying, Mitchell will not be unseating Downs, as they will be asked to do different things. I think the Colts are just hoping to have that legit #1 guy and then everyone else can play the role they were drafted for. If Mitchell or Pierce break out, you will see the ball spread out to the remainder of the WR's and TE's.

      Interesting Note on Last 2 Colts Receivers Drafted High

      By csmopar · Posted

      Keep in mind, with drops, it has always been very subjective to whether it was a “drop” or not. Which is why the rates vary so much

      Wide Receivers are getting paid!

      By NFLfan · Posted

      That is about how much I heard he might get. I am glad it is over and we are not waiting for the other shoe to drop (leave in FA or choose not to play).   Now, all the pressure is on him to perform
