Guy sympathizes with Indy. what a joke.

Unitas' grandson sounds like a psychopath. What a spoiled brat.

Other movies Joe should have starred in;

Dumb and Dumber (He could have paired with Eli, that tandom of stupid looking facial expressions would have gotten them high praise)

Haha, I was absolutely WRONG, Joe played lights out in the post season. I have never in my life been so happy to be so wrong.

Smh, classless.

I'm glad Joe's doing this, I think it's great for the city.

I'm really excited to see how he performs over the course of a season with Caldwell. Cam Camerons firing was one of the best moves this franchise has ever made.

Football was a beautiful thing back then. I'll never forgive the NFL and Bill Polian for the "illegal contact" after 5 yards penalty strictly because of the reason it was implemented.

I'm sorry, but if you can't get off press coverage....ever, you have no business being in the NFL.

[Corvus]

J.C. needs to remember that his grandfather died still referring to himself as a BALTIMORE Colt, not an Indianapolis Colt. Yeah, its embarrassing to use a super bowl winning QB who has played his entire career in the same city that made your grandfather famous. Use Peyton because he "is the best." I mean, Joe Flacco and his 9-4 career playoff record? Nah, I'll take Peyton and his 7-7 record. When you consider that Flacco has compiled that record at age 28 and Manning has compiled his by oh, the tender young age of 37, its a no brainer, you pick the .500 playoff QB!

Hey, I've got a better idea, J.C. the little junior QB who has bounced from once college to another and has zero clue about the history of the Colts can play as the Great and throw some lame ducks downfield. Then maybe he can talk Jim Irsay Jr into playing his stumbling, drunken father throwing down another fifth while he watches Mayflower trucks being loaded up in the background...

You got that right. Cameron was effective to a point but he stagnated.

Out of respect for Johnny U, I won't say what I think of this guy. But for this person to suggest the ex-QB of the Indianapolis Colts should play the most iconic Baltimore Colt is ridiculous. Especially considering how Johnny U felt about being associated with Indy in the HOF. And are you trying to tell me he believes his grandfather played like a QB who chokes in the playoffs almost as much as Tony Romo? -That's- the insult here.

I think this is going to be awesome, and I can't wait to see the movie. I also don't get all the negativity about Flacco getting the part (only the on-field part, which I think a lot of those making negative comments don't realize), especially considering that this movie could be made with just some random actor/stunt guy doing the exact same thing, and nobody would care who it was.
