    Who gives a damn, as long as he's producing on the field I don't care.

    As far as him not wanting to get on the field till he's 100%, im totally fine with that. Too many careers derailed by rushing back.

    I have heard all of this. I have also heard the owner say the GM and coach work out any personnel decisions and if they can't work it out they go to him. So I know people are just guessing. Whatever seniority Kubiak jhad by bringing Rick in vanished years ago.

    Interestingly both Ricky and Bobby have said pretty much the same thing....

    But it's more interesting that McNair is who they turn to when they can't figure something out. Lol...

    Wasn't Clowney's main issue in recovery lateral quickness?

    Yes...it was his meniscus that was the issue...this straight line speed is irrelevant. If he still has trouble moving side to side...that is a real issue and really should not be playing.

    Personally in regards to all of this, I just think we have a Allen iverson...a guy that doesnt really like to practice, but will suit up game day..."practice??? we talking about practice???" Too bad he forgot he was a rook....

    They need to hold Clowney out till after the bye I knew this crap would happen. Every year it's some BS.

    I'm definitely not buying the Allen Iverson comparison. At least it's evident that Clowney cares about training and conditioning. If he doesn't play against the Titans you can complain. For this game we were never sure if he'd make it back.

    I feel good about the situation knowing Clowney wanted to go. Just wish we could have had him tonight. Shown him off in primetime.

    Smart move by the staff though.

    Colts are bad for one year, get the number one pick and get Luck. It's insanity.

    Even if we had that #1 pick . . .we would not have taken Luck
    Cause we were set at QB with Schaub

    lol yea..

    we would have drafted a tackle to "shore up the oline" because Oakland's 3rd string QB does not have enough time to throw!
