You're absolutely crazy. They draft better than almost anyone. They pick guys up off the scrapheap and turn them into starters while we struggle to pick in the 2nd round. Bill Polian probably has as good of a record as anyone in football over the last 2 decades. His draft record is outstanding. Remember when Manning was drafted many, many people didn't even think he was the best QB in the draft, it's easy to armchair it nowadays.

He lost it when he became a Hutard.

So were:

Tony Ugoh
Joe Addai
Tim Jennings
Freddie Keiaho
Charlie Johnson
Antoine Bethea
Kelvin Hayden

This is a funny post. I swear.

I was going to list them, but it's a pretty long list.

:D

He was the one who shouldn't have had body issues. He never took hits like LJ did or Edge or McGahee. His vision was the best, and he was awesome. Then he became a little bitch and so far, he hasn't been good since. That's karma. Don't whine like a little bitch.

You can go way beyond that. Mathis, Freeney, and on and on... and the funny thing is he gets criticized for going off the board sometimes... or making a different pick... like Edge, or Reggie Wayne, Freeney was supposedly too small, etc... but more times than not he's usually right. How many big time busts do you remember the Colts having? Almost never, which is unheard of, even for 1st round picks.

The other thing that the Colts have is COACHING. Tony Dungy is not Herm Edwards, and the Colts staff is MUCH better than ours. Next time Herm has a 9 game winning streak, we can compare him to Tony Dungy.

Oh, I know. As UP pointed out, it can become a pretty long list.

Indy has as strong a drafting record as anyone in the league.

I just wanna see Sproles against the Pittsburg or Baltimore D.

What's so good about either? Sanders plays 1/3 of the time...and Gonzalez was a 1st round pick who dropped a pass tonight that changed the entire game...he catches that pass in the 4th quarter...it's 2nd and 1 from San Diego 35...instead he drops a pass (that hits him in the hands)...it's 2nd and 10 and then they get a holding penalty the next play and forces them to punt...when they were driving for the dagger score.

Those guys were not good picks.

Indy got Peyton...plain and simple...they can draft any offensive skill player and they will not bust because Peyton makes everyone around him better.

I'm going to assume a Clark Hunt-Chris Polian interview will take place this week.

Heads covers the spreads.

Manning is the reason for the success of the franchise...

They could have plucked two dozen Bob Sanders and without the best QB of all time they'd still be drafting in the top 10.

Manning makes every offensive pick bust proof.

I don't want Polian. He trusted Dungy to be the head coach...that alone makes me think he'll keep Herm on. No Herm. No Tampa 2. ANYTHING else.

The fact Peyton SINGLE-HANDEDLY won 12 games this year is unbelievable.
