I'm all for it. New stadium wouldn't be bad either. My $ is Ryan...given he has first right. If this happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, rico said: Why would they want to sell? Too many greedy heirs? Simple answer is yes. Not just greed but differing opinions for years without any real leadership across the board. I remember an interview McCaskey gave when he was aked what's the purpose of Ted Phillips (Bears President). He said Ted watches over GM,etc....radio guy asked who is watching Ted since the Bears have had only 3 playoff wins on his 20+ year watch. McCaskey replied....I don't know. That in a nutshell is the Bears way. Edited June 5, 2021 by Seeking6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 That's going to be a dangerous offense with Jones, AJ Brown and Henry. If I was Tennessee, with Julio's injury history, I'd just sit him until the playoffs. Obviously joking when I say that...well, at least mostly joking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Interesting thread on twitter about this so I'll pose the same question here for some off season chatter. If you could choose 1 retired player to play in today's game/rule changes,etc...who would you choose and who would have the biggest impact? I'll start with Dan Marino. My man threw for 5000+ in 1984. 17 game season...I don't think 6500 yards per year is a stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can get a lead they can milk away the clock with the running game. Only issue is their defense is pretty terrible. At least now they have some weapons to come back with.

Sounds like some of the Colts teams with Peyton. The bad defense usually came back to bite them in the playoffs. If this was three or four years ago I think Jones would be more of an impact for them, but now I think he is just a nice addition.

IDK. It needs another receiver IMO. If the locker room culture is so great as we are led to believe 1 bad apple should not be able to spoil the cart. Randy Moss was no saint but he did pretty well in New England. I get that TAte is not Moss but if the Colts falter it will be because they don't have enough play makers at WR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
