Colts Working Out Quarterbacks Dan Orlovsky, Brodie Croyle

Dude gave the Colts tons of problems and did pretty well in Jax with one of, if not the, worst receiving corps in the league.

Any other QB is just going to have the same problem Kerry has..trying to learn the system. I don’t see much more this team can do as far a QB goes. Brodie Croyle wasn’t a bad QB when he played for Bama but you are asking him to pick up on the system rather quickly if you sign him. I think all of this highlights one key issue! They never thought that they would need a solid back up behind Peyton…and well… now, we clearly see they do. Unfortunately, it’s to late. I believe its too late to have a good QB learn our system for this season, and too late to save this season. We are kinda forced to jump on the Painter Wagon are we not?

won’t be on the field Monday. Cody Grimm, a starting safety, and very important to the Bucs defense suffered a knee injury this week. He was good against the run too. I’m sure Painter will make mincemeat of the Bucs secondary with Grimm out.

Didn’t Tampa do that in Gruden’s last year?

would it be if Orlovsky joined the team and we went 0-16. It would be second time for Orlovsky. hahahahah

There is not a QB out there that can save this season. They might as well go with Painter. Its obvious the Colts dont believe in Painter so why did they keep him on the roster.

The Colts would be 2-1 now with Brett.

Just bring him in!

While big ben was serving a suspension.

He was brought in allegedly to hold the fort while Manning was out and obviously he wasn’t able to do that. I don’t blame him, the odds were against him. So let’s thank Kerry for trying and move on with Painter. The season is almost lost anyway. If I were Colts I would go with Painter. To be honest I am excited to see Painter because that 80 yard drive was the only one this season when I saw a resemblance of the Colts offense, fumbles and mistakes apart. I’ve been so frustrated to only see drives ending in in the red zone or 3 and outs.

AND I never thought I would say that. You play him for the rest of the year. What is he gonna do, LOSE?? And you have him start and get real, valuable playing time and maybe he’ll actually develop as a viable back-up option. If he shows us what we all already think we know, then you absolutely cut him at the end of the year and start over. Collins is here because we thought we could have a chance with him. We obviously don’t. Painter HAS to play (but he won’t whenever Kerry is healthy.)

Season is out the window, Colts have couple of years invested in Painter. Painter has had almost no reps in practices since he signed his rookie contract. Give Painter his reps, and play him until he plays himself into the two slot, or onto the street. The guy has an NFL arm from what I can see, and what he is lacking can be gained with reps in practice and games that are considered lost by most anyway. Give the kid a legitimate shot.

it been done? Yes, Tom Brady’s rookie year, the Pats had 4 QBs on their active roster. Brady was in the 4th position on the depth chart.

1) Brady was a 6th round pick from a Big Ten school

 2) Brady was inserted into his first real game in the 4th qtr after an injury to Bledsoe (a veteran QB with a solid but not great career), and lost the game

3) Brady put up crappy numbers in his first couple of starts following that game…though he did whip the Colts, and then lost the following game badly

4) Brady has had long hair

Remind you of anyone? And yes I have been drinking… :-}

Is billy ‘freaking’ volek when you need him?

Either because he had a concussion and said f-it I want out or his health actually prevents him from playing for the rest of the season. Do the old man a favor and cut him and let him retire.

Painter needs to play the rest of the season – either he’s your backup QB of the future or he’s gone. Either way, figure it out now before the draft.

I think if he gets some real playing time he will be a decent QB. He has talent its just not been exploited.
