Well, since a new thread has been formed, I agree with the premise that Mr.Irsay should let things run their course and not do his part to rile up the fan base. Besides, his tweets could easily be misconstrued as an admission that the current backups do not cut it. Let the Polians and Caldwell make that decision, to be honest, it is a fine line he is walking. Let him lay off tweets for a couple of weeks and then resume.

Not sure this needed its own thread. This could have been added to any of the threads which are already covering the Irsay post/QB dilemma.

Sure, it deserves its own thread. How's Irsay going see my thread and obtain my infinite football wisdom, if he doesn't see his name in the title???

I'm just sayin'....

So what is the problem with an owner, our owner, actually being a fan? And what is wrong with having some fun on Twitter with the fans? I find it refreshing that he enjoys interacting with his fan base. And we actually get some communication, which is a LOT more than some fans get from their teams. And yes, maybe he is sending a message to his current QBs...again, I fail to see what is wrong with that. It's called "lighting a fire". I manage a business and sometimes you have to do things to shake your employees out of their comfort zone to get them to work up to their full potential. I also think that sometimes Irsay posts things just to mess with the media. While he isn't on the same level, I kinda view Irsay as Indy's version of Mark Cuban!

I agree it's a fine line he's walking and I have never agreed with him on Twitter but he is also the guy that is signing the paychecks so I doubt if the Polian's or Caldwell will tell him to lay off Twitter. When he Twits or whatever I can never tell what it is exactly he's saying anyway. JMO of course. lol

Don't take me seriously, TubaGuy.... I know what Irsay is doing. Irsay also knows what he's doing. I'm just poking fun at him. I actually find it kinda' humorous....

Well, someone needs to impose a Twitter ban on him.

I can't wake up everyday and find my beloved Colts forum cluttered up with "backup QB" garbage all day. I can't do it. It'll drive me nuts.

Mr Irsay thats the problem with the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones thiks he has to be involved in everything. You have great people in this organization. Its obvious You have one of the greatest franchises. Let the Polians and Caldwell do the job you pay them for. Im sorry but Curtis Painter looks horrible.

I would hope that no owner would have such a inferiority complex.

Yeah, I seriously don't think that's the case. I just think Irsay's found a shiny, new toy that he can't put down. ;)

And really... Irsay should just be done with it and get an account here to post.

I certainly don't think there is anything wrong with it, he is just messing with the media. When he posts things like "who should we take as our vet to start in place of Manning", I don't think he means it seriously. I get the feeling he knows exactly what he is doing, he just enjoys messing with the media. Putting out that the team is looking for a vet QB causes pandemonium and the media loves it. I picture him posting something onto Twitter from his desk, then laughing while petting a black cat and rubbing his moustache...

I agree, I think Irsay is the coolest. But, i dont think he is twittering for our pleasure or to got closer to us. Sorry, if u listen to the radio these days hes got the media watching everything that comes off of his tweets now. He loves it.

I agree, I think it's funny he can screw with the national media but at the same time it can, tease, confuse and worry Colts fans like us. Maybe it's a necessary evil, perhaps Irsay is a media ninja using deceptive tactics to tool with them? :trout:

well we all know peyton has a man crush on farve and i am pretty sure farve would be more then willing to step aside when peyton was ready with out any problems. who knows maybe we could even get farve to stick around as a qb coach or something. i dont care what anyone says about farve, he needs to be involved with the nfl. i dont want to see him get run out of the league because he was such an easy target the last few years for the media. farve was the nfl for a few years. just ask madden, lol.

I WILL say, if Peyton has to miss games or start the season on the PUP, I wouldn't mind bringing Favre in. We could really simplify our offense and work the short and medium passes hard (Because Favre can still make those) and then it would be epic at seasons end because the 49'ers won A Super Bowl with Montana and Young, and we could win one with Manning and Favre. Suck on that, San Francisco!

Wow, I am one of those people that is sick of hearing about Favre retiring/unretirings. However, I think he could be very useful for us until Peyton fully heals. He could help us win a game or 2 and keep in the playoff hunt until Manning is fully recovered. Favre would also have to love it to take Manning's streak away from him, which will only be broken if we go to an 18 game schedule down the road....I kind of like this talk. I don't know how I feel about that.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Well….  If you see Murphy as a 3T and are not concerned about all the other players who can play there, you’re fine then with Murphy only playing roughly 25 percent of the snaps for perhaps 2-3 years?   You’re ok with that for a first round pick?   Because I thought Ballard went out of his way to say Buckner was a physical freak of nature who might be able to play much longer than one might normally expect.    Curious to your thoughts here.

      Poll: 2024 QB prospects

      By stitches · Posted

      I knew I had a favorite last year, but I thought I would be good with whoever the Colts picked... and this was until the odds for the Colts picking Levis hit -4000 or something of the sort about half an hour before the draft and my heart completely dropped. In a way I'm happy the odds-makers completely missed on this one... it showed me how I really felt about those players and made me even more appreciative for us drafting Richardson an hour later.    So... you would be good with any of them... but who do you REALLY want?    On your question... if I had to guess, most Colts fans haven't watched this QB draft extensively. I know I haven't. So his statistical profile doesn't scream 1st rounder so... possibly why not many people really like him. Also keep in mind that this is compared to the other 3. 2 of them have been crowned as the next big thing for a while now and the third one won the Heismann with some exceptional performaces throughout the year.

      2024 NFL Draft Thread (Final Discussions, Predictions, Rumors, etc…)

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      My sleepers: (meaning, the kind of players coaches would like to have, more than what consensus big board gives credit to them. Some of them might need couple of years to attain their high potential, if drafted into suitable coaching environment, so a lot depends on that. Some of them have injury concerns too).   Most of them are high IQ players or high-effort, high-motor players - two traits I look for from the Drafted players, list is long but I like these guys.. gonna be interesting to see where they land and how it works out for them in long run.    Payton Wilson, LB, NC State Caelen Carson, CB, Wake Forest Kiran Amegadjie, OT, Yale Maason Smith, IDL, LSU Christian Mahogany, OG, Boston College Max Melton, CB, Rutgers Zak Zinter, OG, Michigan Bucky Irving, RB, Oregon Khyree Jackson, CB Oregon Dylan McMahon, C, NC State (good fit for Browns)  Tykee Smith, SAF, Georgia Ainias Smith, WR, Texas A&M Cam Hart, CB, Notre Dame Michael Barrett, LB Michigan Malachi Corley, WR, Western Kentucky Beaux Limmer, IOL, Arkansas   Kamren Kinchens, S, Miami McKinnley Jackson, IDL, Texas A&M Kalen King, CB, Penn State Justin Eboigbe, IDL, Alabama    Jacob Cowing, WR, Arizona Beau Brade, SAF, Maryland Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville Jalyx Hunt, EDGE, Houston Christian (I'm hoping for day 3 Vikings pickup, as Flores could work wonders with him)  Jaheim Bell, TE, Florida State Brennan Jackson, EDGE, Washington State  Delmar Glaze, OT, Maryland Myles Cole, EDGE, Texas Tech Kristian Boyd, DT, Northern Iowa Javontae Jean-Baptiste, DL, Notre Dame Jordan Magee, LB, Temple Myles Harden, CB, South Dakota Jalen Green, EDGE, James Madison (UDFA Target prospect)  Trey Taylor, S, Air Force (UDFA prospect) Eyabi Okie-Anoma, EDGE, Charlotte Qwan'tez Stiggers, CB, Toronto  Sundiata Anderson, EDGE, Grambling State  Daequan Hardy, CB, Penn State (Special Teams, Returner)  Emani Bailey, RB, TCU   As for Vikings, I don't wanna rush to draft QB if the team isn't confident in the guys they could move up in draft range, and I'd like to just draft impact players that build the roster at this point.   Build the team, draft a franchise QB at right time, don't rush and ruin years trying to make someone work out in the NFL.
