Yet this fanbase is constantly wanting to break the bank for RBs. I'm trying to start a support group for fans that think high priced RBs are the answer.
Good luck with that.

But we're not getting a Ferrari for 30k.I don’t think fans generally point to “high priced RBs as the answer” it’s just that it IS one of our two weakest position groups and some generally elite players are getting connected with us…
Put differently, if someone offered you a Ferrari for 30k when you have a perfectly fine Nissan Altima… all the sudden, you LOVE Ferrari’s, don’t you?
If he sits out on his own, you are correct that he is not credited for a year in the NFL. Yet if he is placed on PUP or IR for the entire season, he would get credit for the entire season because of the contract the players signed with the owners.Where are you getting that the Colts made up an injury for Taylor? If Taylor sits out all year he doesn’t get credit for this season. He has to be eligible to play at least 6 games for this season to count on his contract. He can play 6 and fake another injury, but that doesn’t help him get paid. He claims he is injured - whether he is or not is pure speculation. There is literally no reason the Colts would “make up” an injury for him. If he wasn’t claiming he is injured he would be on the practice field or getting fined as he is under contract.
He doesn’t get credit in the final year of his deal unless he’s available for 6 games. If he stays on PUP all year he still owes the Colts a year under contract. And of course they still have the ability to franchise him. Irsay didn’t do anything with his “phantom back injury”. There are two plausible scenarios 1) Taylor has actually been injured. If you believe that then the nature of the injury matters. 2) JT is faking his injury. If you believe that then the easiest injury to fake is a back I jury. In that case the Colts likely called his bluff by pointing out if his back is injured they can put him on NFI.He gets credit being on PUP I believe.
When they played stupid ball with his phantom back injury, that gave him and his ankle all the motivation to "still not be ready"
Irsay started strong. But it's how you finish that counts. He screwed this Taylor situation up like Justin Herbert in a 2nd half of a playoff game

You guys are making **** up and for the life of me I can’t understand why you think the Colts would want or make up an injury for JT. If they keep him they want him to play. If they trade him they want max value in return. How the hell does making up an injury accomplish anything. JT is either injured or he’s faking an injury. The Colts have no reason to fake one for him.
It depends on the nature of the injury - which is why the accusation it’s a back injury would matter. If the ankle injury never healed then you are correct. Of course that’s harder to fake. If he has a back injury then that didn’t occur during team activities- it’s a non football injury. That would not count.If he sits out on his own, you are correct that he is not credited for a year in the NFL. Yet if he is placed on PUP or IR for the entire season, he would get credit for the entire season because of the contract the players signed with the owners.
