QB Peyton Manning started every game as our "franchise QB" in the fall of 1998 and led the Colts to a 3 -13 record.

QB Andrew Luck is slated to start for the Colts as our new "franchise QB" the fall of 2012 - with an unbelievably TOUGH schedule for the 4th place team in the 2011 AFC South !!

What is your prediction for the Luck-led Colts in 2012 ??

6-10....if defense gets going could be better. I think Arians will get Luck rolling.

Thinking 5-11 and maybe 6-10 will be excited and rooting all year no matter what

My money is on 5 or 6 victories overall as Brent and CM51 state above. Please God, let us have above average special team's play. What a marvelous surprise that would actually be...Wow!!!

It will take Andrew 2-3 years to throw that many interceptions.

Rookie of the Year, and every QB record except Manning's 30 interceptions.

are you a stanford fan? must be... Andrew wont have half as many attempts as peyton had, thats not andrews game and neither is it arians or paganos. so yeah maybe not 28... but he wont break all those records either, we hopefully wont need him to.

I have no comment on what "she" is.

If he's not throwing the ball 30-35 times a game then he is a wasted draft pick and the team should have gone in an entirely different direction.

I'm not sure if you mean half of Manning's rookie attempts of 575 ( 287.5 or 18 attempts a game) or half of his 2010 attempts of 679(339.5 or 21 a game), or if it was a bit of an exaggeration. Either way if that is all he is throwing then the team made a mistake.

Arians is as pass happy as they come and that is one of the reasons he was run out of Pittsburgh. Pagano might be more of a smash mouth coach but I would be surprised if Luck isn't throwing the pig 30 to 35 times a game which would be a range of 480 to 560 throws. I would see him exceeding 560 before i would see him being under 480.

For comparison purposes Dalton tossed it 516 times last year and Cam Newton threw it 517,so I would expect Luck to easily exceed both of those totals.

his rookie year, and yeah i was exagerating a bit, but i still just dont think we'll be pass heavy his first year or two. remember, lucks style goes hand in hand with a power run game and he excells at play action which will only get better with arians there. and one of the reasons why arians passed so much the last few years was because it was the steelers best option to win games with the team they had around ben. i think luck will be very efficient and will have lesser attempts but they'll have to be money, and lots of deep play action passes... but what do i know lol

I say 9 or more wins and no I'm not joking, also Im not looking for Luck to break a lot of records just win games. The only way he comes close to breaking records is if are D is as bad as last year, where Luck is in a shot out every week, but the D is'nt as bad as people think. When I look at our team I dont see why others feel we will be so bad cause the truth is we looked very bad in 2011 and their is only one man to blame for that, our old GM BP so glad he is gone. This is not the same team from last year, we are better in all phases of the game and we have some really good coaches. I think alot of fan are just hoping to be high in next years draft or some fans are clearly holding on to what they hear from all the analyst which most of the time they are wrong or because of so many rookies your saying 2 or 3 years. Nine or more wins thats what I say!!!

      If Eberflus was fired by Chicago would you want him back

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      I am not a big believer in hiring the so called offensive mind. I believe that is the role of a competent qb coach and offensive coordinator. We are playing a coach in Tomlin who is maybe the best coach in the league and he was a defensive coach. Williams is not struggling because of coaching. They have no run game and he is constantly getting pressured and that is on the GM. They didn't invest in the Oline. They built their receiver group in the draft and through free agency.  A solid Oline would have taken pressure off of Williams. The Colts are actually built well to insulate a rookie qb and give him time to grown.  If you look deep into Fields stats, he is still a bad qb. They are just not putting a lot on his plate, running the ball down teams throats and playing strong D.

      AFC defensive player of the week?

      By Jason_ · Posted

      Apparently it is that hard to grasp. They're the #1 ranked  OL through 3 weeks. Not over the entire season. Not over the course of several seasons. They're #1 right now. They're giving a better performance than the other 31 OL. That does not automatically mean they're playing at an elite level. What if no OL is playing at an elite level?   Imagine you're in school in a class of 30. The class is given a test. You get the highest score with a B-. All that means is you had the highest grade but no one scored a perfect, or elite, grade.    Can you grasp it now or do I need to get out the crayons?

      Is Shane Calling Plays to Win Games or to Groom AR?

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      I think teams are going to give up the run and force offence to march down the field on a 10 play drive and score. They are going to take away the big play and make Richardson throw intermediate and short passes. The defense believes that he will throw up a pick and/or the offense will stall.  Although,  I dislike the cover 2 defense, it is perfect against a guy like Richardson. The Colts have not shown that they can put long drives together. It is early and it is up to Richardson to make teams attack more. If they continue to run with success and Richardson makes those easy plays.  Then it is a different ball game and it opens up everything. Quite simple actually, lol.  If Taylor is pounding the rock against 4 man fronts because Richardson has improved his accuracy.  Then the D will have to pick their poison. Do you play up to stop the run, short and intermediate passes? Or do they play back to stop the big play? Richardson's evolution, if it happens, will stress the defense probably like no other qb because of his skill set.
