Indianapolis Colts
 

0-7 and looking like they could go 0-16
Been saying it for a long time, no one has to carry the team on his back like Manning and as Manning goes so do the Colts.
What would the Pats record be now without Brady ?

That's when the coach truly shines and that's not happening in Indy. Just look back to the Cassel days, we'd do fine and Brian Hoyer would be a rich man next year.

if Brady was gone ...........
does that mean Wes Welker
can no longer catch a football ?

Might be Hoyer if it happened this yead, but Ryan Mallet is the real deal, and will be the back up by 2012, if he is not traded. He needed a year of attitude adjustment at BB's Charm school, but a year of watching Brady and company will shape his future.

Ronnie forgets that this already happened. Luckily we had Cassel and not Carson Pickoff. Oh, and we had Belechick not ??? whoever is coaching Cokeland.

Question is, do the Colts take Luck if they get the #1 pick? Groom him for a year or two under Peyton? Or bank on Manning coming back healthy, and trade that pick to Miami, Seattle, or one of the other teams that's desperate for a QB and will over pay? Should be able to get great compensation to fill in their holes on offense and defense.

With the new rookie wage scale, those top ten picks will be in high demand.

This just looks like a team that already mailed it in for the season. Their coach is not doing his part to try and work within his current team structure very well either. IMHO

No team that is really trying should go a whole season without winning even 1. Yes it may be against another bottom of the barrel team but if you keep trying hard , schlits happens.

Anyway , I am surprised they have no O at all without Manning. No team should be totally dependent on 1 play , not in football anyway.

Without Brady we win 10 games and maybe make the playoffs or not. No way we go 0-16.
