Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

are gettin STOMPED without Manning... Amazing how one guy and change the face of a football team so much. What happens if Manning doesn't come back and the Colts get the number 1 draft pick in the next draft... who do they pick? Is there a QB who they could draft number one to replace Manning?

We need to draft a QB in the next draft. No question. If we are bad enough, go for Luck, if not settle for Landry Fields or Matt Barkley or maybe Kellen Moore.

Hopefully Manning still has a few years left in him, and can tutor our next QB.

Without Manning, the Colts still are not going to put up the worst record in the league.

Without Manning, without a defense and without a coach... they just may.

I am interested to see how they play next weekend. They should have a chance against the browns but the defense is going to have to play much much better.

Reading between the lines, I think you guys are saying Curtis Painter isn't the guy. Does Ryan Leaf have a younger brother?

The last time a team with 3 wins or more had the first pick was 2003. I think there is no way they win less than 3. Tenn and Jax, IMO, are both pretty weak and the Colts get 4 games against them.

i had this discussion with friends a couple years ago...i was saying the colts needed to draft a good future QB to be developed along the lines of an aaron rodgers. friends insisted manning had so many more years left that that wasn't worth it. this, it would seem, would have been a brilliant baptism before full-time duty in a couple years' time.

depending how long manning is out for...pull a nba and tank the season to get luck. who cares...

The problem with IND trying to draft a QB rated high enough to eventually take over for Manning before this season is that they would have had to basically use a 1st round pick on one. Now you are suddenly tying up even more of your salary cap in the quarterback position, and it doesn't help your overall team improve because you can't spend that money in other places. I think Manning waiting until May kind of screwed IND over....they didn't really find out that they would be needing a solid backup until well after the FA period started so they had to settle for convincing a retired QB to take the job.

The Colts are still at best a 8 win team with a guy like Hasselback. You just can't replace a guy like Peyton.
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

Let's say Peyton plays 3-5 more years. What's the point of drafting a highly ranked QB in this next draft? You're going to waste nearly 1/3 of his career sitting on the bench. Hardly seems fair for either party.
Death to Signatures.

It will probably be a moot point, but if they get the #1 pick, and Luck is as good as everyone says, they could get a king's ransom for that pick. However, we'll know a lot more by the end of the year about Peyton's prognosis going forward.
