Probably the toughest player I’ve ever watched overall was Marion Barber.

That dude was FEARLESS.

Toughest QB I’d have to go with Big Ben

Toughest player had to be Marshawn lynch

Well, Jack Youngblood is undebatably the toughest NFL player ever. He played 3 NFL playoff games with a broken leg.

He actually broke his leg late in the 4th quarter of the divisional playoff game against the Cowboys. It was a key tackle that helped preserve the Rams' 19-14 upset win. He then played the NFC Championship game and the Super Bowl on that broken leg.

I remember all of that happening, when I was in 9th grade.

My problem with McNair was not with him or his play or his toughness. It was with the media. The media often calls tough players WARRIORS

There is not a single player in the NFL in the last few decades that is a warrior and I refuse to use that terminology in that context.

Pat Tillman would beg to differ.....if he had survived.

But, I get your point.

Having been in the military, that term is WAY overused to describe athletes.

Colts cut Spencer Shrader from the practice squad. Cut the wrong kicker.

Bet he'll be signed within the month if not the week.

I’d like to add, the colts coaches throughly out coached the Steelers. Steichen had to throw out all the stuff for AR and go with stuff that would work for Flacco on the fly. And they kept trying to take away Downs and he kept scheming him open. Even Gus screwed up the Steelers with designed blitzes and looks. He went conservative the second half. But man the first completely confused them.

If that’s the case get a lead and pull him out every fuckin game

He’s had enough starts I don’t care how young he is, there’s so much I have to say about this but I’ll keep it short.

1. If you’re running in the middle of the field get the fuck down period, you had the first down and the lead early in the game wtf are you doing

2. If you’re gonna try and run with authority down the middle of the field when you get to the 3rd level PUNISH those little ass DBs you’re 6-4 250

3. Hold on to the fuckin ball, he fumbles or gets hurt half the time he gets tackled that’s ridiculous. I believe that’s why he oversold the injury because he knew he fucked up fumbling

4. You’re the leader of the team fuckin act like it! I don’t give a fuck they should have to drag you off the field! That’s how teammates lose faith in your youngass real quick

In number 1, you tell us that he should get down in order to avoid injury; then, just a paragraph later, you suggest that he should run with authority and use his size to punish would be tacklers.

I find myself agreeing with you, but, then again, disagreeing with what I assume is your alter ego.

If the Colts are ever going to contend for a return to prominence, Anthony Richardson needs to figure out two things…how to play without some gladiator mentality, and how to complete a ten yard pass in the flat. He can’t do that from IR.
