My, how the mighty have fallen... If Colt had half the brain, self restraint and discernment, he had in physical gifts, the kid would have the world by the tail.

Instead, all he has are demons.

All to often incredibly gifted people are unable to cope with success. So very sad. Could have been Gronk 2.0.

When in a game did he ever look anything like Gronk? Could he have had a nice NFL career? Yes. But people need to stop acting like he was a all world talent. He barely could block and he would drop at least 1 of every 4 balls thrown his way. He was never nor did he ever show himself to be a top TE in the NFL.

I remember him caring both the ball and Brian Bennett across the goal line.

My hazy memory was that Colt had six touchdowns on 16 touches or some ungodly stat like that. That's pretty damn good in my mind.

Yeah, 11 TD's on 32 catches. He sucked. :roll:

He would have had a legit shot at the NFL if he had a good head on his shoulders. Idk about top TE, but easily starter material.

I watched Gronk do like half of that total in one game vs UO, with our secondary having Chung, Ward, Byrd and WTIII. He single handily almost brought UA back from 42 down.

Wow thanks for posting that site Nogero! I've been wondering if a stat site like that existed.

Wow I really understated Colts stats. Seven touches as a freshman five touchdowns, averaged 21 yards per reception. For his career 50 touches 13 touchdowns. A TD every four touches is pretty spectacular in my opinion.

I think you are one of the better posters on here Buckmark and I truly value your opinions, but you are dead wrong on this one.

We all have our opinions and we're all right or wrong to some degree. Doesn't mean we all can't debate things. I like your additions to the forum-both of you.

I'm dead wrong that Colt isn't the 2.0 of arguably the best TE to ever play in the NFL? Colt, while good, wasn't Gronk.
