AvgJoe Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 We all know Andrew Luck is our owner. But it cannot go unsaid how Ballard has done absolutely nothing but hand out a bad deal to Funchess (because he is a bad WR). He does know he has to spend a certain amount right to reach the threshold required? They are one Luck injury away from being the worst team in the league again.

ctm Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Based on what he did last year, I wouldn't underestimate him or the colts. The amount he is required to spend is over a 5 year period and it is based on cash spent, not salary cap used. oldschool, VanCityTitan, and Mythos27 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 There are still lots of big names out there not committed to signing yet. He still got lots of time. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Yall were swallowing him whole at the end of the year. Now he's a chump? He's a decent GM so far, and I like his drafts... But he ain't no Jrob gangsta. Deal with it. NashvilleNinja, MIKE75, and SuperFreak90 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

code Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 If I could trade Ballard straight up for Robinson, I would, and I would throw in a 2nd round draft choice. But I can't. So, let me say that I am content in getting a solid slot receiver, a significant upgrade on the OL, resigning Vacarro, Fluellen and Pamphile. The Wake signing is interesting if nothing else. Lastly, I have to say that while every thread mistakenly turns into a Mary thread, in truth, it is the decision that defines the franchise. The Colts got it right on both Manning and Luck. It's been a long time since we were assured that we have it right at the position. The Colts rebuilt their offensive line last year to great impact. If Saffold is the glue that allows Conklin and Jones to be better, then maybe we are in position to fight the good fight.

They were lucky as fuck that they sucked when two of the best QB prospects ever that were widely considered the best came out the year following their poor record.

The Colts got it right on both Manning and Luck. I'd argue that they've gotten it very wrong on both accounts. Drafting Manning and Luck was easy, no brainer, no decision required. I guess you can argue that, at the time, Manning at least had a wrong choice available (Manning v Leaf)--but Luck was a guarantee to be #1. Regardless, I think you can criticize the roster building around Manning, and what they've gotten around and surrounded Luck with thus far. woolfolksunclesuncle 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Saffold is the glue that allows Conklin and Jones to be better, then maybe we are in position to fight the good fight. Luck was winning 11 games consistently long before he came along. He basically had two years two overhaul an 8-8 team into a 10-6 team. Robinson didn't inherit an elite QB and young #1 WR. The QB he inherited was good for 3 wins on a bad team, not 8. He's had success in spite of his QB , as opposed to having one who can carry and elevate the entire thing. I like Ballard, but he runs a franchise who can spend a #6 pick on a guard and take a flyer on a $13M mediocre WR . Robinson has a Hell of a lot less room for error and a much greater need for difference makers rather than role players to surround an excellent center piece. And a G who was already receiving HOF nods prior to the draft fell into his lap, it's not like he found some hidden gem Edited March 13, 2019 by abc2330 SleepingTitan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKE75 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 An indictment on the Colts and their drug addled owner will be how they managed to strike lightning not just once but twice and this past season was the 21st since 1998 when they managed to draft possibly one of the best QB in NFL history and then draft another generational talent at QB 14 years later yet despite having two superior passers the franchise has a solitary title to show for it. Which suits me just fine since i hate the bastards....... SleepingTitan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colts didn’t as much get it right on Manning and Luck as get incrediblly lucky that they sucked so bad the two years they were available. Anyone in the world knew what Luck was. The biggest credit to them was for beginning the tanking process a year early to get him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex in a Can Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 We could have had Ballard if not for shoving Mularkey down his throat. That makes him even a smarter man, IMO. Justafan, Supernope, Jonboy, and 2 others 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
