It's on the Texans this year 1st.
'14 Colts(Jags) - '13 Colts -'12 Titans - '11 Texans
'10 Colts(Jags) - '09 Colts - '08 Titans - '07 Colts(Texans)
'06 Colts(Jags) - '05 Colts - '04 Colts(Titans) - '03 Colts(Texans)


What your looking at is Division winner in that year and who should've won
Jags are Black
Colts are Red
Titans are Green
Texans are Blue
I just don't see it with Mallet/Hoyer. But that's kinda interesting. Cyclical would be a simple agenda for the league to stick with in order to avoid most of the paper trail.

incorrect...

Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts All-Time Draft History | Pro-Football-Reference.com

Mewhort a 2nd rounder in 2014. they didn't have a 1st rounder due to the Trent Richardson debacle.

2014 2 59 Jack Mewhort T (starting LG)

2013 3 86 Hugh Thornton G (second RG to Herreman's,)

2013 4 121 Khaled Holmes C (starting C)


in 2012 they went all in on offense skill position players first 3 rounds

2011 1 22 Anthony Castonzo T (still LT)

2011 2 49 Ben Ijalana T

Go argue with the Colts HC who I'm quoting.

Pagano on Luck and #colts leaky O-line: 'Been the case for 3 years now, has it not? Should be more than comfortable dealing with (it).'

Current Colts GM Ryan Grigson wasn't the GM in 2011. Maybe you and TP (who of course liked your post) would know that if you actually followed the NFL and not just the Lions.

this post right here is pretty much your motto.

I wish I had your vast knowledge of all things NFL.

Their GM has inexplicably ignored the Oline on draft day for years now. It's causing quite a rift between HC and GM.

Rob makes a blanket statement about "their GM", meaning Indy's, and how he inexplicably ignored the Oline on draft for years now. I show proof of drafting Oline on draft day. Rob never addressed any name to "their GM", then comes back with a post much later about Grigson and Pagano.

Rob wins a trophy for getting someone to respond to a post of his... :first:

Why would I talk about anyone but the current GM? I've been talking Pagano-Grigson all week on here. Them clashing over the O line issues is not a big secret.

I didn't think he could ever live up to the hype coming out of college. But he pretty much has.

Dont really notice the hype now tbh. Did then. But maybe I'm just not paying attention. Do you get local coverage on the Colts down there Yao?


Guys a winner, 11-5 three years running has sold me there. Colts will cruise to that division title one way or the other.

I sure do get coverage and I watch quite often. The whole off season they kept putting the Colts right in the SB just because of Luck. I know he's a winner but his division flat out sucks.

He's a good qb but its definitely not time to label him a all-time great.

Stafford is 0-20 on the road against teams with winning records.
Stafford is 3-34 against teams with winning records overall.

Case Closed!

This is true but this is not a debate about who is better. I just hate that qbs are the blame for every win and loss. Luck didnt achieve that on his own.

I would definitely like to see how the Colts would far in the NFC North. Packers would be distroying too. Lol

The guy has played three seasons, nobody should be putting him up like that. I don't even see how he'd be among the Top 5 at his position, right now. I don't watch ESPN and don't really care for NFL Network that much, so if it's the talking heads on there that are propping him up its getting past me. Indy local I could understand being stupid for him.

He could soon be the consensus best.

He might be before too long, but I don't think he is now.

It is easier to be a winner when TN and Houston are the ones right behind you in the division every year. But he's went 11-5 three straight years after being the #1 pick. I don't know, but if imagine that's the most wins a top overall pick has ever had to start his career. Regardless of position.

QB's SHOULDN'T get the blame for EVERY win and loss. But to say the human being who touches the ball 100% and I repeat 100% of the time on offense isn't responsible EVER is just plain denial.

I enjoyed the bold usage.

That's what the media does. Mariota had a very good first game, and the media slobbed all over his knob. Longevity makes a player great. Well longevity and being consistently great. Sometimes, the players eat up what the media puts out and they start believing they're already great after such a short time.

I don't see Luck being this way, but he's got a lot to prove, IMO, before crowning his ass.

That's called sales. Mariota broke a decades old record held by Frank Tarkenton. Of course they were going to make a big deal about it. That's the media's job.

So really we should place all blame on the center.
