Jaguars release David Gerrard, which is a big shock.

 

The even bigger shock is that Brownie has no QB left, since he has Peyton Manning as well.

 

I've just sent him a cheeky trade offer - might seem crazy now, but it could be the smartest deal he could make.

[KinskiRage]

I also submitted a trade offer to Brownie's Cheesy Head

well Brownie - should have taken my offer of Kolb for Manning when you had a chance.

 

We may not see him again...ever.

Not sounding good for Manning

Report: Manning could miss season: WDNE-AM in Indianapolis is reporting that Colts QB Peyton Manning has undergone another surgical procedure on his neck and is in danger of missing the season. This is the second radio report from Indianapolis in less than a week that has suggested that Manning will not play in 2011. Manning has been ruled out for Week 1 at Houston already as he has not rehabbed quickly enough from neck surgery in May. "It will be tough not to be out there playing for the organization and our fans," Manning said regarding missing Week 1, per ESPN. "I simply am not healthy enough to play."

You're lucky i'm not a gold star member anymore, or you might be feeling the sting of a red-hot neg for that proposal.

 

I even went through the trouble of putting Kolb and Graham officially on the trading block, requesting a receiver. I didn't say anything about trading away my starting QB and RB.

 

I'm not trading the rapist, or any other starters (other than possibly Witten, at the right price).

 

It absolutely knocks me sick the fact you've got Ben.

Hmmm, seems a bit...boring....

Beanie Wells is a starter and AJ Green a sleeper in Michael Fabiano's start 'em sit 'em. Looking good for me.

It's looking extremely good for your boys. Schaub and Daniels have got ridiculously low projections for the opener. Same with LaDainian Tomlinson. I know he's a backup back, but 2.00 points? Come on. Don't bullshit me.

Jim Irsay has tweeted that Peyton Manning is out 'for a while' but hasn't had surgery.

Who's gonna be the Colts' trigger man in Manning's absence then ?

[Woo]

Lads, if I sign a FA who nobody else has previously had, does that use up my place on the waivers list, or does it not affect it?

You go all the way down to the bottom of the waiver wire, you hopeless Ratbird bum.

People on twitter saying he's going to be out for 2-3 months.

Kerry Collins has been taking snaps in pre-season so I'd say him for the first game at least.

Collins eh ?

 

Could be a shrewd Fantasy Free Agent pick up for somebody...

[neko]

Kerry Collins has been taking snaps in pre-season so I'd say him for the first game at least.

 

...and the fact he was named the starter by head coach Jim Caldwell would seem to back this up.

 

Kerry Collins will be fine, I predict.

 

He better be for the sake of Reggie Wayne and my fantasy team.

Wayne was a monster for The Cripplers last year, and so too was Austin Collie...before he got his bell rung a couple of times.

 

You think Collie has a chance to make an impact for the Colts this year Neko ?

dunno.

 

You made a shrewd move picking up Collins the other day though.

 

Collins seems to be a real downfield passer with a strong arm - the slot receivers like Collie might not be as important as Wayne/Garcon

Was it Wayne that was pissed that Collins was brought in.

 

The colts offense is complicated (or the calls are all complex at least) so can't see them being as effective or they'll run a reduced playbook.

[neko]

What will be the biggest change is the tempo of the offence.

 

No more no-huddle, quick snap calls by Manning to keep the defence on its toes.

 

The Colts are an 8-8 team without Manning, but I still think Collins will do a good job.
