Nonsense, it's a stupid typo. No way he comes back.

"We're going to be mediocre for a while. Please don't lose interest/hope, and please buy tickets!"
Either that, or he had a few too many, or was one toke over the line. Hopefully it was the former...

I personally don't see a Rivers signing happening. Setting aside what everything thinks about his skills/personality, we'd have to pay him pretty well to come here, likely on a 2 year contract. We also still have to pay Brissett because I doubt we'd cut him, AND I expect us to draft a developmental QB who would need to occupy another spot on the roster. So I just don't see it absent a trade.

It was no typo - he did it twice in his tweet and no other words are inappropriately capitalized - but what does it mean? I have no clue. Four minutes after the referenced tweet, he posted "be careful when and where you use capital letters... they can be “ misconstrued""

I have no idea what that is supposed to mean either, in this context. And he hasn't posted anything since then to explain any of this. Not sure why Irsay would do want to raise everyone's hopes, though.

That is true that he wrote it twice, but on his tweet about being Edge's HOF inductor - he lamented that Edge went to the dessert one year too soon.

Edge apparently liked to eat a lot of cake and ice cream. :D

Could be as simple as he added "Luck" to his spell check dictionary a few years ago because at the time the Colts had a QB with a last name of Luck.....and now anytime he starts to type luck or lucky, it automatically suggests Luck.

If he does come back, it won’t be next season. It would be the season after. Hes only been retired since August.

I say NO to Rivers, but interesting that people think Jacoby could be released. I think he will be replaced, yet retained as an emergency fill-in.

Curious as to the logic here?

There isn't any. He goes an entire year without surgery and/or rehab. Oh yeah, he's going to come back and take another beating since he feels better.

I'm confused. You seem to be taking a crack at Hoopsdoc here by suggesting that there is no logical basis for his suggestion, but then in mocking him you point out one perfectly logical reason why Luck would come back as he theorized.

He white knights Luck whenever possible. It's his thing

There is none. Its a WAG. Wild Ass Guess.

Im old, so I have some experience. There are things I stopped doing because it was just too hard. I didnt have it in me, so I gave it up.

He walked away from something he loved, and no one can be great at something unless they love it. He traded it in for something else. Something more important.

Good for him. We should be happy for him.

If I may take the liberty of speaking for Hoopsdoc, I believe that he is implying that since Luck continued practicing with the team and did not make the decision to retire until right before the start of the 2019 season (late August), he has not physically, mentally, and emotionally had a full year off from football ...... for example, I remember when Randall Cunningham retired for one year immediately after the completion of the 1995 season, and then came back to play for the 1997 season after missing all of 1996 ...... but the difference is that Cunningham retired immediately after the 1995 season, so he subsequently was out of the game physically, mentally, and emotionally for a full year (unlike Luck, who retired at the very last minute prior to the start of the 2019 season.)


I'm not saying that I necessarily agree or disagree with Hoopsdoc's hypothesis, I'm simply explaining his logic on the matter ........ and if I am wrong in my presumption, my apologies to Hoopsdoc in advance.

That makes sense. I was thinking that he was saying that Luck HAD to wait until then.

On a side note, I had a dream last night that we were playing the Cheats. For some reason, my sonwas watching the Steelers, and I reminded him that the Colts were playing. we turned it over, and Luck was playing and we were kicking the tar out of them. No mention prior that he was playing, he just showed up and led the butt-kicking.

Would anyone here trade for Andy Dalton?

I dont believe he took a beating the last year he played. We do have a pretty good Oline now. So saying he would come back to take another beating sounds silly.

I wouldn't even take him for free let alone trade for him.

god no, but I did hear talk that the Lions might be interested in shopping Stafford. He would be a far better choice than Dalton, and a decent stop-gap until the draft affords the opportunity for a desirable QB. But I would assume any trade like this would wait until after we see how the draft shakes out.

No, I would rather go for a rookie. Or go for Drew Brees. I don’t want to settle for mediocrity. We saw what that is like this past year.

nope.

Fair enough, Anyone interested in Teddy Bridgewater as an UFA?

So I guess Tom Brady is in town?!? It’s on a few twitter posts, trying to find any legitimate confirmation. Also it seems a little early for FA, have a couple more weeks to go. Could be viewed as tampering.

nope

Yea the Colts private Jet thing is strange, and disturbing

nah, but I would rather have him over rivers, brady, dalton, etc.

Not really. I'm not liking any of the free agent QBs, available draft pick QBs, or any of the QBs on our roster. Kelly is an unknown so he gets a pass. It's a baddd time for the Colts to need a QB.

That started yesterday. It's some sort of hoax.

That's the quickest path to getting this team into title contention.

Colts interested in Shelby Harris DT Broncos?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sta...-shelby-harris

Reading lots of rumors that we are interested in Philip Rivers.

Go for it. Then we can use the 1st 3 picks on the D . Maybe a WR in there too

I don't see what the deal is with this. He is only a few short years from retiring, and we are on the verge of our younger guys becoming studs. I'd prefer to go with a younger FA, or draft one.

I could see us signing Rivers and drafting one.

That is the only way it makes sense to me.

Yeah I don't think there is any way they would be content with a guy who admits to only wanting to play for 1 or 2 more years. Ballard would still look to address the position in some way for the future.

I’m down with it, you know he wants to win a super bowl and dude is an Ironman

Never liked Rivers but if he comes here for a couple of years it is because he thinks he can win a Super Bowl, which I like. If he has anything left it makes some sense.

Bringing a washed up Rivers here just reeks of desperation. I'm against it, and will never be a crybaby Rivers fan even if he comes. I just can't do it. I still don't like the Chargers either

This is where I am. I just want to draft a kid and let him roll
