Hey COLTS fans... What's up with Dominique Rhodes. DO you think that he'll be alright in Oakland?

He went from first to worst... Whatever, I hope he feels that he made the right decision even though i think it wasn't all that great. GO COLTS!! But seriously, Oakland??!!!

    well, as a life long colts fan, at least as long as they have been in indy. I think he went for the money!!!! Thats it, well guess you can't blame the guy for wanting to make some cash. I guess I would rather have the chance to win another super bowl, or divsion title, or hell at least more than 3 games! LOL. He left for the money, thats all. Bet he might re think that decision in the future. Its his life, they gave him a chance to make a name for himself. Whatever happend to loyalty? In the end though it is a free country. If they feel he is worth that much and he can make it good for him. A running backs life in the NFL is usually very short anyways.

    Yep! Oakland, the team that know has a renewed and better coaching staff, have upgraded their TE, and FB position, and Rhodes being the new RB, the Receivers are good there but they need time for someone to get them the ball, which goes back to the Offensive Line and their blocks, if they can manage to get two more OLmen it will work out (G,LT). Gallery needs to move back to RT where he dominated years ago. The big ? is who will be QB, Russell or Quinn may get Drafted but Oakland will still look to upgrade in QB by getting a Veteran like Carr from houston who played well but gets all the blame for playing with the Texans and their not so good Defense. Basically oakland will get a veteran QB/ 2 more OL, and thats it, with a Defense that will always give them a chance to win, its all but looking good for Oakland in 07.

    with teams like Detroit, Cleavend, Green Bay, Minnesota, Houston, Tennesse, Jacksonville, and the Chiefs. It looks oakland will be 8-8 in 07.

    With LaMont Jordan all but out of town, this gives them another #2 back looking to be #1 and, again, it will fail. Rhodes wasn't good enough to win the clear cut starting job from a rookie when he had a 3 year (at least) head start. Why should I believe he can do anything at Oakland with their OLine mayhem and no QB? At this rate, he's gotten a fat paycheck and, once they release Jordan and his upcoming roster bonus, he will inherit the starting job over the fragile "Huggy Bear Jr." Like all free agents going to Oakland over the years, he will wish he had never made the move.

    Oakland... You have to look at what the Oakland franchise has done this year with free agency. Also new coaching staff and great draft picks. I promise you this they will be a competitor in the AFC west. Rhodes will be the leader they need on the offensive side of the ball. Watch and you will see.

    Yeah, he came to Oakland. And I also agree he's only there for the money. But Oakland might have gotten a good deal, 'cuz they need him to rebuild. If he plays hard, then it will be a bargain for both sides!

    particular because of the fact final season the Colts have been very stable offensively and intensely stable defensively the only situation replaced into that Joseph Addai had to get each and all the consists of. Now that Rhodes is lower back he will help Addai out allot. Be the way i'm a Colts fan to so i myself wish they win the Superbowl this 365 days. pass COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    He will be much better in Oakland. In Indianapolis he had to split with Addai, now Rhods will be the single back with all the carries in Oakland.

    GO PATRIOTS!!

    No one is alright in Oakland, it's the NFL mental ward.

    I can't wait until Addai runs for 1800 and 22 TD's this year.

    Give him the rock!
