Should We Cut Ties With Gonzo

[natelombardi]

do u guys think its time to just find another replacement else where. or bank on gonzo staying healthy????

[Barkman76]

I was shocked we didnt let him go last yr! I say keep him around because he might be able to stay healthy enough to help later on in the playoffs. I personally dont think he will play all yr.

Should have cut him when we cut Bob, and signed T.J. Polian, please don't draft anymore BUCKEYES, they are either depressed, soft, or can't cover a senior citizen.

Don't forget addicted to video games.

[wercolts]

Yes

[ColtsHoosiersBB]

This should be his last chance to stay healthy. His ability on the field does not

outweigh his streetclothes time on the sidelines.

If I had to make a prediction.........6 games played this season.

[shakedownstreet]

he just has a hamstring like half the rest of the players in the league

[Hamboning Will Save URLife]

I think he has some vaginal leakage too, to go along with a nasty hang-nail.

[GoColts8818]

No this is the last year of his deal, if he doesn't work out this year you just don't resign him.

[21isSuperman]

Gonzo has too much potential to be let go. He knows the playbook, has a low cap hit and is a good player when healthy. This is his make or break year and he has said so himself, we don't need to cut ties with him before the season starts.

[Coltsman1788]

This will probably be his last season in Indy unless he steps up.

[scorptile]

lol lets release a defensive player of the year and has played more games in the past two years then a WR that is made of glass and has played maybe a half a quarter at most. yeah lets keep that guy instead *rolls eyes*. i just never understood this decision.

Gonzo's injury history is not nearly as long as Sanders. Sanders was also due a lot more money than Gonzo is. That's the real reason Sanders was released. The Colts tried to get him to take less and he said no. If Gonzo had a big money contract he might have very well found himself in the same boat but he doesn't. As a matter of fact this is the last year of his deal if he doesn't work out this year the Colts will just simply not resign him.

I say trade Gonzo to Arizona for back up quarterback John Skelton. I don't think they would do that without adding a late round pick in 2012, but they do really need a #2 receiver and we desperately need a backup quarterback can at least sustain a single drive in the NFL.

the only thing about gonzo is for me is out of his what 4 year deal hes played one good season and it really wasnt that great of one. sanders had one full season but during his one season he won defensive player of the year. sanders put his body on the line and because of a bad set of DT's he had to step up and i think that is why he had been hurt so much. what is gonzo's best known thing? uummm i cant think of any thing but being a first round pick that hasnt shown that he is one. isnt cap hit from sanders only 1 mil less then what we would have paid him anyways?? i just cant see why still since gonzo is still getting paid for sitting on the bench and not playing. my guess is he will be on IR by the second game.

id say do that trade then sign housh and get more out of housh at a cheaper price.

He had two good years. His rookie year he stepped up for Marvin when he went down and he also played the following year and it was good enough that the Colts felt good enough about him to let Marvin Harrison walk. Then he had a season ending injury on the first play of the season more or less that's just bad luck. Last year was the only year I saw of him that I would call him injury prone.

Sanders has never had a full season, the year he won DPOY of the year he missed a game believe it or not. That was also a contract year since that season Sanders has played in 9 games out of a possiable 53 games. Six of them came in the year after the contract. So you are talking about a guy who played in 3 games out of 36. It's not like that was his first time being hurt. Sanders has had two years where he has played in more than 6 games. He had played in 55 out of a possiable 125 games in his career as a Colt. Now add to that he was due big money starting this season. The Colts just couldn't justify it based on what they have gotten out of him.

[Andy]

my simple answer: not yet, we'll make that decision at the end of his contract.

[Hamboning Will Save URLife]

Really???? This gal can't stay on the field for five minutes, and

you think we should keep him another year and pass on someone that could actually help. He has done nothing!!!! Cut him, his body can't handle the non-contact / NFL.

[John Waylon]

i think we should be cutting ties with some members' posting abilities...

[Hamboning Will Save URLife]

I know, just cut them ties.

[SilentHill]

No use cutting him now, but he won't be back next season.

[doogansquest]

It's the last year of his contract, so we would gain nothing by cutting him. We see how he does this year, and then make that determination. I have a strong feeling that, no matter how he fares, we won't re-sign him unless he comes ultra-cheap anyway.

Besides, he's "suffering" from the same injury as half the league right now, and it's likely he won't miss the season opener. Furthermore, he would have played towards the end of last season, but we banked on Bob's return instead. That's not Gonzo's fault.

[BlueCrew]

If healthy, Gonzo is easily a 1000 yard caliber reciever. IF healthy. My gut tells me he's turned the corner after the freak accident last year.

Something tells me he's going to have a very, very good season.

So, No, I say we keep him. There's no reason to cut him. Even if he doesn't play that's great depth at an injury-prone position.
