Kolb can go back up Schaub when we scoop up Manning
Thanks man.

Squall,
How do you feel when it comes to Kolb or Skelton. This is a very important question.

Kolb is in theory ahead of Skelton right now due to accuracy but the man can't stay on the field so it might be moot. His pocket presence really leaves something to be desired but I think watching Skelton's confidence in the pocket while he was injured helped him. He looked a lot better that second half of the Cowboys game and I really would have liked to see how he finished the rest of the season. I don't have any disillusions about him, I just think he's still a question mark which is bad that we still don't know much more now than before we traded for him. It's tough to switch over to a new system without an off season and have no chemistry with anyone one the team, especially the WR's. I think the off season will do him a lot of good and I'm curious to see what he can do but I really question his durability.
Skelton I think has a lot of intangibles. He has great size, smarts, arm, pocket presence, can take hits ala Big Ben, etc. He just has poor accuracy and that's fortunately something that can be worked on. Guy still hasn't had a proper off season between the lockout and being injured the previous off season. I think he's even better off if Peyton comes here, he could learn from him and especially if Peyton is on the sidelines from injury or just isn't ready to go at the start of the season, he could provide valuable insight to the youngster.
I wouldn't mind just giving Skelly the season reigns to develop if we don't get Peyton, except that we gave too much for Kolb to not explore him thoroughly. Give him this one proper season with an off season to build more chemistry and we'll have a good idea of what he is (in our system, anyway). We still save most of the money in his contract if we cut him after this season.

My god it will be nice to have a few card fans to converse with. Pigeon was banned for the whole season last year so I was the only one.

This is how I envision the first Broncos practice with Peyton Manning.
John Fox-Okay, Peyton here's your new playbook.
Peyton-(Reads through the playbook) Wait, where are the pass plays?
John Fox-The what plays? Come again, Peyton.
PM-The passes? This playbook only has run plays and punts.
JF-Again Peyton, don't understand what you're saying. Speak English, please.
PM-Coach, you know a pass play. Like this (points to Eddie Royal and then starts a three step drop. As Peyton begins his throwing motion...)
JF-NO, NO, NO, NO! NO, DAMNIT, TIM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! (Runs and tackles Peyton)

You going to state your stance on Kolb and Skelton? Any comments on my interpretation?

Wow at the Colts. A pretty amazing overhaul of players.
How old is Garçon? Is there a reason they didn't re-sign him? He seemed like a pretty good receiver.

Wow, better hope UofM football brings you some kind of joy. Doubtful, but still!
Pretty much this.
It's like they just tipped over the roster's magazine rack and stormed out of the NFL.

Travis Beckum was signed to be "Eli Manning's Dallas Clark"...Well now he can actually have Dallas Clark?

I kind of wanted to continue cheering for all of the old players on the Colts still after Peyton left, but now I'm not even sure anyone will be left.

I thought the same thing. I can do without Dickson's drops.

Do you expect Flacco to make those throws to Dallas?

I don't see Manning going to any team in the NFC except for the NFC West triplets (Arizona, San Fran, Seattle) and the last two are a big stretch.

Where's the idiot who was complaining about us resigning Mathis and bitching about us not saving money?
What do you have to say now?

Organization is sending a clear message - they are definitely in rebuilding and Indy is probably going to be bad.
I'd like to see the team reinvent itself somewhat, get an actual defense built. Luck is going to get pounded out in his first season though.

But he had so much potential!!!!

No, I expect him to continue being terrible, and on the off chance he makes a decent throw, that our TE actually catches it.

This just sounds funny coming off of a 2 win season. At least Luck is a promising piece to build around. The single consolation of being terrible for a few years is you'll have the opportunity to draft quality pieces in the coming drafts. I imagine you should have tons of cap room after this offload to be a major player in FA, though I'm not sure who could be lured there with no one on the team besides Luck. I suppose those that only care about money at this point in their career. Your interest in the draft has been significantly raised! Have any extra picks?
I wouldn't be surprised if this is why they're dangling Freeney out for trade currently.

Costanzo was definitely a good pickup, but the Colts really need a lot of work on their O.Line to help protect Luck.
At least Peyton had Faulk and Harrison when he got in, not sure who Luck will have besides Collie.

you missed the playoffs by 2 games and you were 5 games out of the divisional race. you won 4 of your 8 games in OT. in your other 4 wins were by 7, 4, 3 and 2 points. i don't expect you to get to 8 wins again this year.

I would take Skelton. He has the arm and pocket presence that I like in a QB. I've seen nothing but sacks and injuries from Kolb. I never did really like the signing of him.
Restart the playoffs. The Steelers lost to a bunch of roided up bitches!
