I used to say that but I think he's grown up some.

My faves are Aikman, Gruden, Jaws, Collinsworth, Steve Young, Trent Dilfer, Mark Schlereth, T. J. I'm sure I'm missing some.

I cannot stand Skipp Bayless. He only exists to antagonize me. He makes Stephen A Smith look reasonable.

BAB,

You make a very compelling argument on QB's Young and Dilfer. 2 NFL analysts that are often bypassed or overlooked. Both men take you under the helmet and discuss throwing mechanics, footwork, poise in the pocket under blitzkreig LB and DE fire, and they are superb at discussing overcoming hurdles, huddle doubts, and getting that elusive championship monkey off their backs.

The psychological struggle of field generals is fascinating to me...He can't win a Playoff game, he can't move outside the shadow of his processor, he can't annihilate his arch nemesis, he isn't smart enough or durable enough...Then, they win the SB, get awarded MVP, you bask in the glory...Isn't revenge sweet, spectacular, and grand? haha

I admire controversial figures that make peoples blood boil over and Skip Bayless fits that mold to a T. He's the guy everybody loves to hate and that is his greatest appeal. Just like Howard Stern, the listening public tunes in just to see what he will say next. Like junk food and a NASCAR pileup, you just can't look or walk away.

Agreed. I like analysts who can articulate finer and subtle things I cannot see. And both Steve Young and Trent Dilfer are honest and don't speak in cliche. I hope to see them more often.

And Skip Bayless is successful because he makes my blood boil as you say. I know I'm getting trolled but I cannot hep it :)

OK SW.......I only like Skip Bayless because he reminds me of you! HA HA!

He and Stephen A Smith would not last an hour on Colts Forums. The de-bait....not debate. :)

      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
