What I’m saying is, if he ends getting paid like one of those guys, then the Colts will have dodged a bullet if he leaves because he’s never going to live up to that contract.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think I am.

I think he is working his way to becoming one. Remember he has not had a stable QB in all his years here. His route tree is expanding, and he is absolutely correct when he says "I only had 84 catches last yr and went over 1000 yards. With 130-150 catches. I set the receiving record'
Hard to argue with that. He and Dimes were building some chemistry. While he may not be a top of the NFL #1 right now. He will be eventually.
He wanted Dimes signed. and his brother is going to be playing BB at Purdue
I think this deal gets done eventually and he is going to get paid. And when he does I am sure some on here will be doing a lot of bitching about the price.
