nope and the last pic of Luck I saw he looks like he has lost a lot of weight and muscle.  Not surprising 

Actually looks like there is a big rumor and a lot of talk about Luck coming back to the Colts.  Check this out:

David Newton is such an idiot. Imagine falling into a job covering a professional sports team for the largest sports media company in the country and being terrible at that job with no repercussions. Sounds about white.

Could replace his name with Joe Person or any number of others and it would be equally true, heh

I'm going to  say that had CMC been healthy this season, we'd probably have gotten five more wins. We'd probably also be talking about how Bridgewater was able to eat opponents alive with the short passing game thanks to CMC.

We have to remember that the offensive plans for the season centered around utilizing CMC to his full potential. Even though Davis was able to come in and serve as a really good RB1, it still wasn't anything like having CMC back there. CMC is a game changing athlete and requires a ton of defensive resources to keep him under some sort of control.

Teddy's short game was good, but with CMC coming out of the backfield, those eight yard pass plays suddenly turn into 12 yard plays, 15 yarders, 65 yarders... The run game increases to the point where the other team has to bring a safety into the box opening up downfield opportunities. A lot of those three and outs become long, scoring drives.

Yeah, the CMC injuries wrecked the season for us.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
