This is all I need to see, I am sure @KDawg agrees.  Time to make Howell #2.

 

Actually in all seriouness, Riddick mentions Howell starting this season.  He's not the only one.  So with all the backdrop I bet if Wentx doesn't catch fire right away (I am optimistic about Wentz's season though) i bet we here more Howell talk.

 

 

 

 

lol, yeah me too.

 

I don't care if a team wants to believe in whatever. Most teams naturally believe that their new guy beats the old guy they let go.  But the level of obnoxiouness from the Colts on this is off the charts.  I usually go to one road game a year, I am heavily leaning the Indy game right now.

Someone on twitter saw that pass and said " easily picked, telegraphed the whole way, ball tap, lets the defenders know when it's coming, team won't win a game. "  Holy crap. I don't even know where to begin with this one. It's one of the most ludicrous comments that I've seen in a long time. Criticizing him a week after the draft, because of a pass in practice? Then saying we won't win any games? Geez, talk about hyperbole. Smh.

I saw a tweet saying Howell is Heinicke 2.0. What the crap? Doesn't Sam have a great arm and arguably the best deep ball of anyone in the draft? I like several attributes of TH but his deep ball is hideous. With guys like Terry, Curtis, Dyami, and Jahan, I think Wentz and eventually Howell's strong arms will make a world of difference. Atleast I hope and pray so. Is it too much to ask for the first 11 win season in 3 decades? Is it too much to ask for just one playoff victory for the first time in 14 years? I know the front office has been unethical and probably criminal over the last couple of decades but that's not our fault! We fans deserve some happiness for once! In a fair world, Wentz will be really good for 3 or 4 years and Howell will be a franchise qb for 10 - 13 years! I probably am asking too much 😢

Heck, Bruce (for all of his faults) moved on quickly from Kirk and never said anything bad about him publicly after trading for Alex.  Randy Mueller (former NFL GM) was on twitter and said why are the Colts continuing to badmouth Wentz?  He was like just move on.  It seems pretty classless.  Just say something to the effect of it didn't work out and we wish him the best.

Definitely classless. Maybe even unprecedented for a front office to talk this much trash about a qb, after trading them. It's a bit outta control.

The NFL is weird in that somehow there are bad teams who somehow match up really well. The Giants, by and large, have been a bad team for a long time. As bad and probably worse than Washington. Still, they've had our number. For whatever reason, we really struggle against them.

That's so true. It's really inexplicable.

I don't doubt that, in fact its quite true.

 

What I'm saying is there are far better examples of Wentz disparaging than Ballad saying they would have to partake in some hard conversations about QB even if they reached the playoffs. What happened in that game, or previous games does not matter too much in such a discussion. The Colts history w/ the Jags has no effect on what Ballad said yesterday not being nearly as incendiary as some of the other stuff that has been spoken. By comparison his words were tepid at best.

 

 

This is the second time someone has tried to rationalize that game in a response to my line of thinking about Ballads words. If multiple people see my claim about his interview as some kind of statement that purely focuses on Indy getting beat by Jax, then I'll have to be clearer in the future as that was not my intent at all.

I wasn't suggesting that you were saying that. I just said that on my own volition because the Jaguar stuff annoys me. I get what you are/were saying.

Dude was asked point blank in an interview if Wentz would still be on the team if they beat Jax. He responded by saying the team would have likely had some tough conversations and choices due to poor play late in the season.

 

That's like burying a guy w/ a toy shovel. Your not even going to get deeper than his ankles.

 

 

Compared to the other stuff this is nothing. We had reports about the coach apologizing for sticking his neck out for the guy. That is burying someone, not this.

Evidently Jacksonville has beaten them for the last 6 seasons. So Andrew Luck and Philip Rivers struggled vs them too. I wonder why they weren't heavily criticized about it like Carson has been.

Maybe Mathis can help stop the run. Watching Philly open up holes that Chris Farley and John Candy ( rip to both ) could easily fit through was unbelievably frustrating and disheartening!

I hate how Schrager says " you don't hear current or former players say my guy Carson. " Feeding into the false narrative of him being a locker room problem. I remember several Colts players defending him after the trade. Sounded like a lot of teammates liked him a lot.
