Colts 2023 A Time To Change

[ChristianPatriot]

So Peyton wasn't that good, Purdy isn't either. Now do Brady. We'll wait.

Peyton was amazing. The absolute peak of the pocket passer quarterback.

And he spent 90% his career losing in the playoffs.

Thinking that pocket passers are the only way to have success in the NFL is just stubbornness really.

But people are entitled to their own opinions.

“You have a right to be wrong” as my Dad always said.

Reading and adjusting to a defense rapidly on the fly is paramount for a qb. Peyton could never run. He could however read, anticipate, adjust and complete a play very, very well. He might be an exceptional exception, but his mental skill exceeded his physical skill. Tammy Brady anybody.... Not a runner and could still play if he were younger.

Manning was pretty impressive (other than the interceptions) before his arm turned to rubber. Thereafter, at the worst possible time, he'd throw his infamous waffle ball.

I wouldn't put all the playoff loses on Manning. There's the rest of the team. There were a lot of playoff years when the Colt's problem was not on offense.

Agreed.

“Colts owner Jim Irsay was reportedly found unresponsive in bed after police were dispatched to his house in December.“

“TMZ reports that Carmel Police Department records show that officers responded to a call early on December 8 and found Irsay struggling to breathe with a weak pulse. The records say Irsay had been found on the floor of his bathroom and moved to the bed, which is where officers tried to revive him with a sternum rub and a dose of Narcan. The drug, which is often used to combat opiate overdoses, had some effect and paramedics arrived on the scene to take over treatment.“

“The police records call the incident an “overdose” and “overdose/poisoning” with the note that officers do not what medications or other substances Irsay may have ingested.“

“A recent statement from the team said that Irsay is being treated for a “severe respiratory illness” and it’s unclear if there’s any connection between that illness and the December incident.”

I hope Jim gets the help he needs.

I also hope he realizes it’s time to pass the ownership to his daughters, but I won’t hold my breath for that.

Team statement.

Colts: Jim Irsay continues to recover from respiratory illness, no other comment on health

A report from TMZ on Wednesday cited a police report from December that said officers responded to a call and found Colts owner Jim Irsay unresponsive in his bed before giving him Narcan and calling the incident an “overdose” and “overdose/poisoning."

There exist the possibility that Irsay's "poinsoning" was accidental. Sadly, his past makes it seem unlikely that it was anything other than a dope head ****ing up. The most shocking part for me was finding out that he's only 64 years old. He looks ancient, but maybe that's my bias.

Here’s the TMZ Sports report. I agree with those who say he has a seemingly good heart, does a lot for the community, and hope he gets the help he needs.

This is puzzling? Why nothing on the street? Not even rumor or speculation?

“McVay mentioned back in October that Bennett was “doing well,” but again, didn’t go into much detail about his status or leave of absence.“

“Bennet was honored during halftime of Georgia’s win over Ole Miss on November 11, but since then it’s been silent on the update front.”

I remember some dudes on here saying they wanted him as their quarterback….

NFL teams sometimes hedge their commentary if the issue with a player falls in the "personal" category, like addiction, disease, mental, etc. From the outside that's kinda what this looks like, given the lack of reporting and coy response to questions about him. Who really knows? Hopefully the kid can get healthy, however that's defined, with or without football.

I only remember @thunderchicken saying he was a “diamond in the rough”. I suspect he has a dependency issue but cannot find any info.

The comments on the article, for what they're worth, said he's an alcoholic. Again, comment section...

And Peyton won a grand total of 1 Super Bowl in his prime with the Colts in 13 years. Then he was dragged (drug?) to another SB with a historically good defense.

The 49ers are STACKED with all pros at every level on offense and defense. Put Purdy on a mediocre team and see how he does. The one game he didn’t have Debo Samuel, he threw 4 INT’s and was benched for Sam Darnold.

Peyton had the best offense in the nfl for how many seasons? And in his short time in Denver went to 2 super bowls, winning 1. How many league mvp’s does he have? Take the most dominant team in the nfl out of the equation and how many rings does he have? Once he was put on a team that had a defense he went to super bowls 2 of his 4 seasons with them, 1 of which he won. And claim the defense drug him to it all you want, his leadership and preparation got them there. If he had nothing to do with it they wouldnt have went to a losing record the very next season when he left.

Tom Brady, the goat, was the best pocket passer in history, and probably will be for generations to come. Their preparation and work ethic far beats anyone ability to run the ball, as indicated by 9 combined rings.

I do agree with JCSR, I see over and over again when someone posts anything in this thread thats in disagreement with the norm they are ridiculed for it. “How old are you”? Seriously? You know when you wrote it that was intended to be antagonistic.

It’s fine to disagree. People are wrong all the time. It really doesn’t bother me at all. Not sure why it bothers others so much. If some people don’t have thick enough skin to have their opinions challenged then maybe the internet’s not for you.

The past 5 NFL MVP’s
Patrick Mahomes
Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers
Patrick Mahomes
Lamar Jackson

And Lamar will probably win it again this year.

All of those guys are dominant because of the plays they make off script and outside the pocket. It’s not 2003 anymore. You have to have a quarterback that can move and move really well.
