Colts 2022 Embrace the suck

[jamil]

Have you forgotten all the pressure put on Poulian over Manning vs Leaf? To me, and apparently you, it was a no brainer but there was much discussion. Then there was the Luck vs RGIII questions. So not everyone “knew”.

I should’ve better qualified who can see it, and who just sees “it” with wistful aspirations.

Yeah. A lot of folks thought Leaf had “it”. Character is a big part of having “it”. Leaf blew off the pre-draft meeting with the colts. Manning didn’t. I’ve heard people speculate that’s why Manning got picked over Leaf by the colts.

I think there’s a lot more evidence on Manning’s side. Leaf really had just one great year of his three in college. That was his Heisman year. Manning had a qb rating of mid to upper 140’s each of his *4* years.

It was controversial, and really easy in hindsight for us to pick which of them had “it”. But just because it was controversial then does not mean the controversy was earned. I think it was a no-brainer.

In terms of Luck vs RGIII. Both had “it”. It was a matter of what style of play each excelled in. Read-option was puzzling defenses the first year or two. And then it pretty much died. But, RGIII was a good drop back passer too. But a QB who runs a lot puts his body through a lot of the same punishment and injury risks that RB’s do. He got hurt and was never the same player.

Another thing that hurt RGIII’s success was that the Redskins built their team around a mobile QB and then when they no longer had one, he just didn’t fit anymore. And I think running was just too much of his game. Plus, by the time he came back from injury, defenses were figuring it out. He as too slow to be effective.

CJ Stroud absolutely playing out of his mind tonight in the college semi-final. So that’s potentially encouraging to see for Colts fans.

But not enough…

12 more hours we xan watch the Colts lose!

He did his job. Kicker pull hooked it.

Big10 bit the dust yesterday in the big bouts…

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Hard to admit it but I’m fully checked out on this season. Lose today and I think we’re guaranteed a top 5 or 6 pick. That’s all I care about. Don’t even care if it’s entertaining anymore. Let’s keeping getting our rookies some reps and start looking ahead towards the draft. And hopefully no injuries to any key players that would keep them out of next season.

Wow! Amazing catch by Campbell in double coverage!

Just when I was trying to decide whether to keep watching or go back to "Yellowstone" reruns.

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Wow! Amazing catch by Campbell in double coverage!

I hope the Colts give him a one year prove-it deal next season. He’s had a good season.

Wow! Amazing catch by Campbell in double coverage!

Longest pass play of the season…

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Colts have run the ball on 2nd-and-12, 2nd-and-13, and 2-and-18.

Microcosm of why we’ve sucked all season.

 

[ChristianPatriot]

That should do it. This offense ain’t scoring more than 14.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Yeah, may be flipping back over to Yellowstone after all.

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Yeah, may be flipping back over to Yellowstone after all.

Again, I just appreciate that Foles understands the assignment. It’s draft szn.

 

[nipprdog]

21-3

 

[Ingomike]

Pick six. Stick a fork in it…

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Foles shook up.
