Give the Bengals a 2 this year and next year for Palmer

Just what I was going to say only I am five hours late. If Colts want to win this year, they need a real qb, and he is not in the Painter, Collins, yada, yada, yada. Mix. If you want to lose and go for Oliver Luck’s boy and the next Peyton, then go with Deer in the Headlights Painter.

With the “Talent” they’re evaluating it means that Painter will start if Collins can’t and they’re looking for Painters backup.

Cleveland had to do this in 08 when Derek Anderson who was #2 on the depth chart but starting because #1 Brady Quinn was on IR, went down (coincidentally after a game against Indy)and 3rd stringer Ken Dorsey had to start the next game. Basically they had to go into the “not good enough for any NFL teams that year” pile to get Bruce Gradkowski to back up Dorsey. Like Dorsey, Painter is the #3 QB on the depth chart which means there is no one behind him in case he gets hurt. That’s where indy is now.

The guy knows the Colts system inside and out, he isn’t that far removed from the Colts, he’s a free agent, and his shoulder has got to feel better after a year out?

This guy has scored with the Colts offense, and has GOT to be a better choice than these other two schmucks.

They didn’t have a ton of cap space as it was, Collins was a last minute hail mary. Garrard and Favre would want starter money, Palmer would cost picks AND he’s owed something like $11 million this year. They’re not going to bring in a high-priced QB that will take 3+ games to really know the system or develop chemistry with the receivers.

The season is over. Time to evaluate what talent is (and isn’t) there and hopefully clean house in the coaching staff and front office.

The scuttlebutt around town is that Collins isn’t so injured and the Colts are trying to let Chris Polian save face. If another quarterback signed it wouldn’t surprise to see Collins placed on IR and then cut with an injury settlement allowing all parties a chance to save face.
——

It has nothing to do with Chris. Bringing Collins in was an Uncle Bill move. Bill has regained control of the front office. I don’t even know what Chris does now.

What ever happened to Jim Sorgi?
————————————–
He felt he had done all he could as Peyton’s backup, so now he’s moved on to young Eli in NY.

And I agree with those who are puzzled that the Colts aren’t going after him. Max Hall is on the Cards IR with a shoulder problem and is out for the season. No one’s going to swing a deal for Carson Palmer because Mike Brown (Bengals GM) is too stubborn to do it. I bet Brady Quinn could be had for a song and, yes, Culpepper could be a stop-gap. And, by the way, wasn’t Polian in Hattiesburg, Mississippi about a month ago?….

The people I feel bad for are Collins (who deserved better than this thankless task) and Painter (who never should have been in the role if management didn’t have confidence in him, and who doesn’t deserve the humiliation of the team working out such mediocre QBs).

Also, all the other players on the team who work hard but can’t turn the tide of unpreparedness that the team has been left in by its management. We’re now seeing that player acquisition, player development, and coaching is a disaster on this team.

That Manning has led this team to so many winning & playoff seasons now looks like so much more of an achievement. Whatever faults he may have, he’s taken a humble team to high places.

What would be karma for this team’s management? Maybe just missing out on the race for Luck and having Manning leave to coach the Texans… :)

If they’re signing a QB it’s probably just to have SOMEONE in uniform besides Painter who has actually played QB, if Collins can’t go this week.

But they really must not like Orlovsky if they already kind of know him and Brodie Croyle’s name still came up anyway. Ouch!
