    If you say so. Sorry MHO of him is not yours. It is the reason that we have won NOTHING for 38 years cause we hire on players like him instead of digging out the quality players who will make us true contenders instead of just pretenders. He is the same type player you will find on the Cards/Lions & you know there records over the years just as bad as ours

    No all I want us to do is win our 2nd SB Championship. IMHO I really doubt if Poteat is the player that will get us there. No difference then Hamilton & others we have on the team. Once people here realize that without some game breakers/changers we will never/ever be a elite team & get that shot at the VL trophy. If you go thru the roster including QB & you are most truthful with yourself you will come up with only a very, very few quality players. After Rhodes & Mangold the drop off begins & if you charted it it would be a steep drop as you go thru the starters.

    No one said Poteat is the guy to bring us a superbowl. You're completely missing the point Champ. Every team needs players like Poteat on their roster, even the superbowl winners. Who is the NB on the Colts? The Pats? The Steelers?

    Wow, I'm surprised there are actually two players on the team that you like.

    Yes...Your view is way off. you can not fill a team with all pro bowlers. That is what you said. You need role players...like Poteat.

    Ever hear of Marlin Jackson or Kelvin Hayden?

    I bet you have not.

    You know the Colts have nickel and dime backs, and backup outside linebackers that you may not know of or think highly of that contributed to winning the Super Bowl. Was Joseph Addai the answer to the Colts Super Bowl hopes when he got drafted?

    Players more of there ilk will bring this team up a couple of levels. OTH players like Poteat & Hamilton & others of that ilk either drag a team backwards or keep it where it is which =s another year of no CHAMPIONSHIP.

    I would say Addai was a + to the Colts. Yes nickel & dime backs that can cover are a good addition but IMHO Poteat is a average cover person at best

    So when Addai was drafted, you figured that he would run for 4 yards a carry against the Bears D in the SB?

    Was the Colts Front 7 that wasn't able to stop the run for the entire regular season positive difference makers in that capacity?

    NB's are generally the 3rd best cover corner on a team. You don't get top notch coverage guys playing NB. Who is the best NB cover corner in the league champ?

    looks like champ woke up on the wrong side of the bed again today

    The point is, which i think GM has tried to reinterate a few times already, you cant fill a team full of probowlers... not only bc we wouldnt be able to pay all of them...but bc all teams have role players...we cant have a Ty Law or a deangelo Hall as our Nickleback, which is pretty much what you are calling for...these "no name roleplayers" that you are against are very good at what they are assigned to do...granted they are not a #1 shutdown corner, but they can be just as good doing their role as the Nickle or dime corner...

    we arent going to have a star CB as our 3rd or 4th CB....
    LT is not going to be our third down back...
    Torry Holt will not be our Slot receiver...
    Olin Kruetz will not be our Long Snapper...

    i think you get the point
