Default I'm seething and on the brink

Anthony Richardson, bless him, has shown major flashes and potential talent...but he's injury prone and not long for this league. Now he's probably out for two months. The Colts have needlessly paid dickhead Taylor and kept broken Leonard on a ridiculous contract. Both of those guys are clients of effective team owner Malki Kawa. Sure, we're 3-2 but what happens now? Maybe I'm just getting old, but I'm tired of this shit. Maybe the Manning curse is real. Maybe Luck put a curse on us after he quit and stole $24M because former owner Irsay was a sentimental dumbass. I'm just tired of it. Josh Downs looks good. Steichen: good luck. You're a better coach than Frank. Ballard: I'm sorry, but fuck off. Maybe Malki can get rid of Jim. He's the real owner, anyway now.
I'm absolutely livid and about done.

Why on earth does JT’s contract piss you off so much?

He’s one of the better running backs in the league. It’s not like the Colts are dripping with talent and can afford to just get rid of great players. Moss has been good but Taylor, when healthy, is objectively better. There’s no question about it.

Why does it bother you that we locked him up? I root for whatever helps the Colts win games. And signing JT does that.

Besides, they have the cap space. It’s not like Ballard was going to use that money to sign some high priced free agent anyway. Why not use it on JT?

Leonard’s situation is because of injury. He was worth every penny when he signed and he may still get back to that. It’s still to early to give up on him, in my opinion.

I just find your level of anger very odd.

Nobody can say this organization doesn't take care of it's guys.

The Tits traded AJ Brown. I still think that's arguably the dumbest shit I've seen in years.

I love AR as a player but let's face it, it was a gamble picking him and it is starting to look like we lost! His playing style requires a body that can take a lot of punishment, obviously Anthony can't take NFL hits and stay healthy.

In no particular order

* Talent: the D is pretty good but thin at some positions. And very young
* The O Line has been pretty good despite injuries.
*.The rookies have contributed
* Watch the movie “Bridge of Spyies”. Great philosophy about worrying
* Whats our record? 3-2 with 2 conference wins. Holy shit!

I will admit I have one concern, the head coach needs to realize that this team need to score on every opportunity inside kicking range. Yes, scoring TDs is preferable. The bought the best FG kicker in the league, he has more range than Adam V ever had for the Colts. Score on every possession put more pressure on the other team. Shane blew the fourth down play.

We wont “know” anything about AR until the end of the season. Indy fan were sure Manning was a bust after his rookie season

I don't know who those fans were? Manning threw a lot of pics but by mid year he was already demonstrating a command of the game that very few have ever had. His intelligence was on display effectively from the first snap of his career.

AR has shown remarkable flashes, remarkable. Has thrown passes that so few in this league have the talent to make. His running skills are obviously off the chart. We need to see him in a protracted series of games to see if all this is sustainable. The sample size right now is very very limited. If he is really only out 4-6 weeks, we'll get a few games a the tail end of the season to see if he can make it through a series of games or not, if so, I feel pretty confident we have our guy.

There is no curse, they don't exist.

Other QBs like Stafford and Allen had injuries their first couple of years and have had long careers.

You're spiraling.

I'm not certain that his body is that fragile. One concussion and this latest injury may not have happened if not for the unforgiving turf at Lucas. I heard that they are going to redo the entire turf in the off season, so hopefully, the new turf is athlete friendly.
