Why does Indy media suck so bad at understanding football. Gilmore is a journeyman who wants to win a title. He was a rental. Facyson was not the 2nd best corner, Rogers was. Facyson was bad. This year would have been Rogers, Moore and a rookie starting. Now it’s probably Flowers Moore and a rookie. Yeah they are going young at the position group.
Yannick had inflated numbers, he didn’t move the needle at crunch time. He didn’t apply pressure at key moments. Mostly opportunity sacks. 2nd down in n the middle of the 1st quarter type stuff. The guys from San Fran has much better analytics. Maybe he bombs, but he was a much more effective rusher at part time last year than Yannick was full time. No one has heard of him bc he is from a west coast NFC team. The line is better with the removal of Pryor. In fact, it started to improve as the year went on after he was removed. That is how bad he was. He should have never been put at LT. Also Kelly has been a mess mentally, Quinton was more hurt than we knew, and they had a rookie on the left side. The rookie has been improving, Quinton is healthy, and hopefully Kelly is mentally healthy. Smith was awful at the beginning of the year, but he recovered and was a top five RT by the end of the year. So that leaves competition at RG. Best man wins. The WRs were bad bc the QB was bad. Pierce was a rookie. Not much after those two. But downs was a good draft pick and should be a good player. JT when healthy is one of the top backs in the league. TE has a lot of developing young guys. So he says worst ever roster. Let’s look at the 2015 colts randomly. https://www.pro-football-reference.c...015_roster.htm On defense they have Vontae Davis and old Mathis. That’s it, nothing else. There are two all pros and multiple pro bowlers on this defense. On offense they have old Frank Gore. JT is just slightly better I would say. At WR they have Hilton. Moncrief, Andre Johnson, and Philip Dorsett. That group is awful except for TY. I would take the upside of this group. There is one big difference that matters though. That teams had Luck and this one has a rookie QB. Otherwise, no, it was not better than this team in talent. Indy media is the worst. Last edited by Chromeburn; 08-08-2023 at 10:29 PM. |

The dude is an edge lord and I can't say I feel like I'm missing anything by not hearing about his stuff more often, as I imagine I would if I still lived up there. What's a little odd to me, personally, is his overly antagonistic attitude. Perhaps that's just my perception.
I get not wanting to be a mouthpiece for the organization and instead opting for objective and unbiased reporting, but the personal digs at players is kind of cringy. Especially with how he frames Richardson; That just seems like he's setting the kid up. I don't see why any of this is necessary unless the customer base actually eats it up, which may be the case. It's hard for me to believe they couldn't find someone better, but I haven't read a newspaper for years, so IDK. I'll concede that I have heard similar sentiments regarding the team's competency level from other corners of the fanbase, but I've ignored those given this is a whole new regime. |

I love the one from NJ that said Paris was so glad to be away from Jim. He only talked about getting the opportunity.

I watched some of his podcasts and it’s straight up bullshit. He contradicts himself all the time “Colts don’t have any wide receivers and Ballard ignored the position” then five minutes later “I think Pierce is going to be a good receiver.” Well which is it? Then on Pittman “I was talking to Grigson after the ‘20 draft and he said he (MPj) won’t be a good receiver, too slow.” Pittman has been better than every receiver taken below him and a few taken above him. But the other radio guys have some axe to grind. KBB is smart but manipulative. AR has an ok practice and other Colt reporters tweet his comp %, throws an INT, has a nice red zone TD to a TE. They say he had a pretty good day in camp. KBB tweets “Anthony Richardson has awful interception at practice today”. Then nothing else, doesn’t talk about the good or positives. And of course all the haters fill up the thread with anti Richardson and Ballard comments. When you hate the GM so bad you want the new franchise QB to fail. It’s bad when I have to go to the podcasters and other minor sites for Colts news and analysis. A lot of those guys are also much more knowledgeable when it comes to football. |

I do agree with his concern on the OL. Ballard's putting too much trust on the current starters improving/rebuonding and staying healthy. |

Now they aren't paying him and everyone is making a stink about that. Not to mention the fact he is STILL injured. Who would sign a RB with a mysterious lingering injury like that? As for the oline thing, I'm ok with it because the line was getting better at the end of the year with Raimann improving and Pryor out of the lineup. Q was really hurt, with him healthy it should be better and with Raimann making a second-year jump. Kelly is still a risk to me, but that seems more mental which he has talked about. I think they are betting on the players returning to form. But we will see, he's made mistakes before. To me CB is the group that is gonna have a rough season. Too much youth. They are going to get beat a lot. But they should come out better for it. Lots of youth but lots of talent too. Last edited by Chromeburn; 08-09-2023 at 09:59 PM. |
