James questioning why he left Indianapolis

[general counsel]

THis is also why in the salary cap era, less and less backs are getting huge money. More teams realize that the real key is the o line, there are a lot more qualified backs that can gain yardage with good blocking than there are truly great backs that can gain big yardage in spite of crappy blocking. Yet another reason why people shouldnt be so harsh on steven jackson as our interior line blockling, while better this year, is hardly all pro caliber.

Backs decline in value so quickly. its a very rare guy indeed that is worth paying big money to at age 28. a cap liability waiting to happen and even then, it has to be a contending team.

If he thinks he's sorry now, wait until the Colts are playing in the postseason while he's playing golf.

If he thinks he's sorry now, wait until the Colts are playing in the postseason while he's playing golf.

Or cleaning his gold teeth.

If he thinks he's sorry now, wait until the Colts are playing in the postseason while he's playing golf.

But the good news is, in the desert he can still play January and February golf! So, he's got that going for him.

This is exactly why the Colts rolled the dice and did not offer James top dollar. They knew they had depth and talent in the backfield and were not going to mortgage the teams future on a 28 year old back who they thought could be replaced without much risk. Great move by the Colts IMO.

They kind of had to make a decision between Wayne and Edge. Colts have a banging O-Line and they knew that a capable back could produce. They gave Wayne the fatty and let Edge walk, which I agree was smart
