just stop.

Notice the ? at the end of the sentence- ala the "that doesn't even make sense"- i.e. a tank job is going to get us what, a 12-15 pick vs what # 21 if we go out in the first round? I.E. there isn't a shit load to gain from it vs TRYING to get there and make some kind of miraculous run behind what CAN be a dominant O line.

But if you listen to some of the stuff from Bowen, Big Joe, and even JMV there's a tint of their actions off the field not seeming to have a playoffs or bust urgency to them. JMV had the two ortho guys from ATI and St. Francis on the other day and was he was really pushing them to insinuate that the team is sandbagging on Funchess.

How does “sandbagging on Funchess” help the team

That Funchess signing is one of the worst one year signings I’ve seen. Screwed us and screwed himself out of a lot of money.

Sure in hindsight, but who could guess he would get injured that quick.

So how exactly did it screw us? Nobody else has stepped up so the $10 million may have proven Ballard right that we needed WR help.

His injury has just proven that out.

It doesn't- that's the point, the "chatter" is that there isn't a huge desire to try to make a SB push this year so instead they (the Colts brass) have sort of started taking the foot off the gas in anticipation of next year. My exact point is, if the best we can get to is say # 12 by not being aggressive / passive losing- what the hell good is that going to do us?

What?

Screwed us by paying 10 million and not getting anything for it.

We already knew we needed WR help, that wasn’t any revelation.
