Luck vs Griffin - let it begin.

Re: Luck vs Griffin - let it begin.

We get it now. Really we do. After mixing up one rookie QBs name and claiming that one guy who wasn't even a rookie was better than Luck. We all get it.

You are actively rooting for him to fail.

It doesn't matter the debate or the topic.

You will always think "That one kid from that one team who may or may not be a rookie is better at doing that one thing and Luck sucks."

I'm sure Weems will play very well this weekend and I'm sure John Skelton is thrilled to find out he is actually a rookie and that you actually think he is good at football, which makes approximately three people in this entire country that think that. You and his parents.

Re: Luck vs Griffin - let it begin.

This isn't a matter of mixing up an A and an E. This is a matter that his names isn't Weems. It is Weeden, which does not even sound like Weems unless you just stop listening after the first 3 letters.

That is correct, I haven't followed him that closely but I knew he was a 28 year old rookie. He has 1519 yards and a 68 QB rating. He will be all the Colts can (or can't ) handle on Sunday....

I just thought it was strange you said you had "no relatives at all" when in fact you have a brother and nieces/nephews. I most certainly consider my brother and nephew to be very close relatives to me. Perhaps yours don't feel the same way about you?

Could be, I don't get to see them very often and I don't consider myself "close" to them or anyone else....

He may be, but I'm fairly certain Andrew Luck won't be lining up in our secondary. Though after the way Zbikowski played against the Jets I'm not sure I could argue against it.

I wasn't suggesting that his success would have anything to do with Luck except getting some extra possessions from turnovers perhaps....

Yeah I'm sure a guy who threw 4 interceptions in a game won't turn it over at all.

Well if the last couple months haven't proven this guy is a troll, this last page certainly does.

It's pretty cool he spawns family members like he's in a Halo game.

I've thought for weeks that OlBlu was the infamous Earl back from the dead. There's just too many similiaries.

Re: Luck vs Griffin - let it begin.

I believe the Redskins line is light years ahead of the Colts line. They actually make a pocket for RGIII to pass in. Yes, he has taken sacks but that was more because he needed to spot his receivers a little quicker and get rid of the ball a little faster. He will do that, he has a quick release. He isn't doing as much running all over the field to avoid be sacked. I am a jaded Peyton fan and so is my small extended family (my brother and his grown children). We used to have four season tickets to the Colts games. When it was clear that Irsay was lying to the fans about keeping Peyton, we let those tickets go and the rest of my family has found other things to do with their Sunday afternoons. I bought those tickets and I field a call or two per month from the Colts wanting to sign me back up. We had those tickets for more than 15 years. I always ask them if we have a new owner that won't lie to the fans. That ends that conversation. So, yes, they lost my financial support over all of that. I would have maintained interest if they had taken all of the wild offers for Luck and used that to replace some talent around Peyton and resign some of the vets like Saturday and Garcon'. I think they would have won ten plus games and they could have taken a QB later in the first round to develop. Several are doing quite well, better than Luck for instance. I might have even been a fan of using some of the picks to take RGIII and develop him over a couple of years and still have more draft picks left over. I think that is what New England might have done given the same circumstances. Brady will be ending his career in the next five or so years and I'm willing to bet the Pats don't miss a beat... The difference between a great owner and a very poor one an the difference between a great front office and coach and a bunch of newbies working.... But, Ol Jim saved a lot of money with the purge and he is laughing all the way to the bank with it.....

You're not that close with your borther but you had Colts tickets with him for 15 years and only gave them up last year when you were sure the owner was lying about Manning? Hey Bro, I know we don't talk much but we should have Colts tickets for over a decade.


OlBlu, here's my take, there's one of three options for what drives you

1.) You're desperately stuck in the past when it comes to Manning, and whether or not the Colts had drafted RGIII or Luck you would have complained about them and pumped up the other.

2.) You just don't like the Colts no matter what and Manning leaving is just a convenient excuse for you to pile on.

3.) You're a member of old who just likes pushing buttons and has come back to grace with your presence again.

I had to keep him off of ignore because it was just too funny for me to resist, but after Olblu is talking about good ol' weems lighting up the Colts I am done.

I am closer to his children. Note that I said there were four tickets? Three kids and myself. There Dad was a marginal fan who is no fan of he Colts at all now. He went to some games when I wasn't around but the "kids" usually took one of their friends..... I get along fine with my brother, I don't care to be around his wife....

Also, I can't wait for you to wander over to the IUBB thread again. That will be a joy

Yes, but you said you had no family to speak of and now they are going to Colts games with you. Seems a bit odd to me.

I think there is a chance that Mr. WEEDEN will out play Luck this coming week.... Not a sure thing but a chance....
