The dude was a stud when he played. He got tiny after he retired. I think he had some nerve damage that prevented him from working out.

Was watching a You-Tube video last night and they were talking like Burrow wanted out of Cincy. Adam S said Colts would be a logical landing place for him and the Colts could possibly make it happen. He said Indy would instantly be one of the most dominant teams in the AFC. I don't know about that as we still have some holes, but he could sure mask some of them. I know its just hyperbole and hypotheticals, but a fella can dream. I would take Burrow in a New-York minute!

I'd give away all our draft picks for the next 2 years for him

Yeah he, if he would stay healthy, immediately makes us the SB favorite in the AFC.

If we hadn't used (wasted) the two first round picks for Sauce, it could have happened!

Two mid first round picks wouldn't come close to even getting in the conversation. If he were on the market some team in the top 5 in need of a QB would pounce.

While that that 1988 trade was awful, those times actually encompassed the franchise's first interval of respectability since their move from Baltimore in 1984.

In the Colts' first 3 seasons in Indianapolis from 1984 through 1986, they were the laughingstock of the NFL ...... their final records in those 3 seasons were 4-12, 5-11, and 3-13, respectively.

In October of 1987, Jim Irsay pulled off a blockbuster trade for Eric Dickerson to immediately give the franchise respectability, and a much-needed shot in the arm......with the best running back in the game on board, the Colts immediately won the AFC East in 1987 with a record of 9-6 (they only played 15 games that season), and followed that up with a winning season in 1988 (9-7), and a .500 season in 1989 (8-8.) At that time, the notion of the Indianapolis Colts having 3 consecutive non-losing seasons was unheard of, as that had not happened since their days in Baltimore from 1975 through 1977.

After bottoming out in 1991 with a record of 1-15 after Dickerson was passed his prime, the Colts attained a similar 3-year run of respectability when Jim Harbaugh came on board as the starting quarterback ....... they went 8-8 in 1994, 9-7 in 1995, and 9-7 in 1996 while twice qualifying for the playoffs as a Wildcard.


It wasn't until the Peyton Manning era that the Indianapolis version of the Colts had a long and sustained period of success as a perennial contender.

Tell me C&O. I cried watching Peyton calling an audible his first year. Was the first real QB play I had seen in years. I was so damn happy that I had a team that actually would have something to root for. My wife came in and still gives me shit for having tears in my eyes to this day.
