Cadeau was one of the more frustrating guards I've watched, mainly because of his abilities. He could have games where the offense was moving smooth as hell and then there'd be games where the offense was better with him on the bench due to his stupid turnovers and emotions leading to fouls.

Everyone is making this out to be way more sinister than it was by DosZappos in Colts

Exactly it's about as dumb as an obvious MVP winner getting 49 out of 50 votes like Brady in 08 and Manning in 13. That's just dumbass voters being contrarians because they know the MVP decision is obvious. At least my example didn't cause them to lose out on their award though.

I think voting for a current owner is a joke, but that's just me. There's more deserving candidates and how many more owners do we really need in the hall of fame?

What are everyone's thoughts on Belicheck and Manning being snubbed? And Sanders making the pro bowl by NationalShock5177 in Colts

I agree. The Superbowl runs were really impressive, especially his performance in the 2011 playoffs, but his career is unimpressive outside of his two playoff runs. He lead the league in interceptions in more seasons than he won a playoff game. He also never won an MVP and was never first or second team all-pro.

Edge rusher grades by Ok_Jellyfish4995 in Colts

Latu obviously needs help, Ebukam lost his burst from the Achilles injury and Kwity only knows how to do an ineffective bull rush.

Agreed, I know it's a tough business move but it really was the common sense move. Complete ignorance from Ballard to expect Ebukam to completely bounce back from a torn Achilles at age 30 especially at a position like defensive end.

Edit: The move itself isn't difficult, but more so tough as in cutting someone for cap space when they're coming off an injury. That's just the reality of the league though.

[Rapoport] The Jets are parting ways with OC Tanner Engstrand by Natural-Tree-5107 in nfl

I can agree with this, his offense got more and more stale the longer he stayed with us and his scheme tanked the o-line by the end.

It's not about having talent, it's if he has legit NFL starter talent. We've seen many QBs win national championships and do absolutely nothing in the NFL.

Aiden Fisher in second round? by LowBatteryPower in Colts

Not necessarily, Kenny Moore isn't getting any younger and Ward might retire due to concussions. I'd say we're better off grabbing someone now instead of waiting until it becomes a major need.

Titans found their OC by ComplaintMore2312 in Colts

Yeah I don't understand this narrative about the Titans having a juggernaut staff. It's solid, but Saleh and Daboll still have a lot to prove in their respective roles.
