Alec Pierce

[jasperhobbs]

Perhaps colts should have taken Skye Moore who went 1 pick later. Pierce can't seem to get separation.

[AlwaysSunnyinIndy]

Comparison of their rookie years:

Pierce: 16 games, 41 rec, 593 yds, 2 TDs

Moore: 16 games, 22 rec, 250 yds, 0 TDs


Comparison of their first game this season:

Pierce: 1 rec, 5 yds, 0 TDs

Moore: 0 rec, 0 yds, 0 TDs


Moore has had the benefit of having a much better QB.

Pierce is going to be ok guys. He is a downfield threat, which unfortunately at this moment in time with Richardson being spoon fed a basic scheme, is not likely to be a staple of the offense in the early weeks. We drafted him knowing full well that his route tree was not highly developed.

What has Moore done to impress you?

Yes. Someone (I can't remember who) put it well in that Pierce is kind of a downfield specialist and yesterday was a game where we just simply didn't push it downfield.

[jasperhobbs]

I guess the real mistake was when they took Parris Campbell when Terry Mclaurin was available.

[Chromeburn]

He's their deep threat and they were scheming to take away the deep ball. We will see a lot of Downs and Gransen this season till they come out of that cover two-shell.

But Pierce’s game isnt running and juking guys with precise routes underneath. His game is going deep and going up for contested catches over the CB. If he is getting doubled he is drawing attention away for other guys to pick up the slack.

Mclaurin is also from Ohio St., so he just would've gotten hurt with us too. I'm sorry, but it's just we have no luck with Buckeyes.

Not only this (as long as our OSU curse wouldn't have hit McLaurin), but some of the WRs we passed on in the 2nd round in '19 will make you sick.

Or D.K. Metcalf.

Or D.K. Metcalf.

mclaurin is way better than metcalf

Colts wide receivers coach Reggie Wayne came away impressed not only by Alec Pierce's 2 deep-ball receptions, but with an 8-yard snag Pierce made in Week 1 against the Houston Texans.

One very bright spot in the Colts' otherwise dreary 2-3 start to the 2024 season is the fact that Alec Pierce ) leads the NFL with 28.3 Yards-Per-Catch.

Depending on what you consider the modern era of NFL football. Alec Peirce has a chance to break the NFL single season record for YPR.

Googling the modern era of the NFL gives me 1966 or would 1978 be the more appropriate year, because of the passing rules changes?

I've listed the top 25 listed on Pro Football Reference.

Jimmy Orr and Roger are prominent Colts names.

Take a look at almost every WR that was taken within 15 picks of Pierce, either before or after. We have: Christian Watson, Wan'Dale Robinson, John Metchie, TyQuan Thornton, George Pickens and Skyy Moore, or even Treylon Burks who was taken at #18.

Tell me which of those WR's that you would take over Pierce?

Pierce reminds me of Roger Carr. That dude has been stymied by weak armed QB's. He's finally showing what he can do with guys like AR and Mafia Joe Flacco

Skye fucking Moore isn't worth a shit. He couldn't carry Pierce's jock strap. What the fuck has Skye Moore accomplished so far? Not a damn thing, that's what. Pierce get's plenty of separation. We just had weak ass armed QB's until AR and Flacco.

There's a case for George Pickens.

[AlwaysSunnyinIndy]

There's a case for George Pickens.


Based on talent alone, sure.

But Pickens brings so much added drama.

And, at the time of the draft, he was coming off an ACL injury...although he did return for a few games at the tail end of his last college football season.

Ahhh...Roger Carr. My favorite Colts WR from my childhood. He and Bert Jones were the dessert after a meal of Lydell Mitchell. I will never love a team as much as I loved the 1975 Baltimore Colts.

Jim Irsay's favorite Colts team ever was the 1975 Baltimore Colts ...... Jim was a 16 year-old water-boy for the Baltimore Colts.

In 2009, Irsay held a reunion at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis in which 39 of the 53 surviving members of that 1975 Colts team showed up at Lucas Oil Stadium for that reunion ...... those surviving players included Bert Jones, Lydell Mitchell, Mike Curtis, John Dutton, and Fred Cook.



Here are 2 of Irsay's guests at said reunion at Lucas Oil Stadium (Bert Jones and Lydell Mitchell.)
