So let’s make an early starting lineup prediction to get a snapshot of what the team will look like in 2013. Quarterback: Eli Manning No brainer here, but Curtis Painter will have to find a new job with Ryan Nassib in town. David Carr may be threatened by Nassib in the future, but I can’t see the Giants getting rid of a quality backup until Nassib is clearly as good as he’s made out to be...

Also waived by Baltimore was running back Anthony Allen, a seventh-round pick by the team in last year's draft, who lost out in a battle with 2012 third- rounder Bernard Pierce, and undrafted rookie Bobby Rainey, to be the primary backups to All-Pro Ray Rice. The Ravens placed six players on injured reserve as well on Friday, including rookie wide receiver and sixth-round draft choice Tommy Streeter. A sixth-ro...

Painter hasn't shown us much in his first three years of professional football (66.6 career QB rating) and we're guessing teams will be hesitant to sign him unless somebody gets injured. There's no fantasy upside here.

The Ravens signed Curtis Painter to a one-year contract last week. Painter was the Colts quarterback for a few games last season before being pulled in favor of Dan Orlovsky. There’s a chance Painter doesn’t make the team, but he would more than likely serve as the third quarterback if he does make the team.

Painter worked out for the Ravens Thursday along with former Baltimore starter Kyle Boller and former Pittsburgh backup Dennis Dixon. The 25-year-old Painter will compete with Tyrod Taylor to backup Baltimore starter Joe Flacco. Painter, 6-foot-3 and 222 pounds, played in Indianapolis for Ravens quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell, who was hired by Baltimore this offseason. Painter, a former backup for Peyton Manning, started eight games for the Colts. He was winless as a starter, passing for 1,541 yards, six touchdowns and nine interceptions. The former sixth-round draft pick from Purdue was benched late in the season and replaced by Dan Orlovsky.

He hasn't thrown a touchdown pass since Week 6.

Wilson believes thanks to Polian's support Curtis Painter may get the start: It sounds like Caldwell will make that determination Wednesday. I expect Painter to stick as the starter, if for no other reason than vice chairman Bill Polian’s continual support of the QB. Polian has doggedly maintained Painter hasn’t played as badly as some of us think. But the offensive numbers don’t lie. The Colts have scored 27 points combined in four games.  Mon, 21 Nov 2011 23:03:36 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/wilson_painter_may_start/8252269 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/wilson_painter_may_start/8252269 Wilson: Painter may start http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/wilson_painter_may_start/8252269 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/f/c/fc94b95f545921b940203142814ebb4b569dd6be/mini/Colts_Painter_Scrambles_761e.jpg Curtis Painter could lose his starting quarterback job when the winless Indianapolis Colts return from their bye week. Painter has been benched in each of the past two games by Colts coach Jim Caldwell, who said he will wait before making a decision on his Week 12 starter. "We don't play for a while yet, and really we're evaluating everything all across the board, not necessarily just that position," Caldwell said. "We do have a chance to see where everybody is." Indianapolis (0-10) has failed to score an offensive touchdown in the past two games, the first time that's happened since 1997 - the pre-Peyton Manning era. Painter was thrust into the starting lineup in Week 5 after Kerry Collins suffered a concussion. He has thrown for fewer than 100 yards in three of his last four starts, and has been yanked in favor of journey Dan Orlovsky in the past two weeks. For the season, Painter has completed only 51.7 percent of his passes (125 of 242) and ...

That means six more weeks of bad Colts football. I should clarify. We'll have one week of no Colts football – they have a bye next Sunday and are currently three-point favorites – before the six-week no-victory march to Andrew Luck.

Painter has yet to log a win for the Colts this season and has looked bad in several appearances this season. Painter was named the starter for the Colts after veteran QB Kerry Collins suffered a reported concussion in Week Three. The Colts passing offense is currently ranked 28th in the NFL, averaging a paltry 182 yards per game through the air.Painter has 5 touchdowns in six starts this season. Indianapolis is currently the only remaining winless team in the NFL and will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week Ten. The Colts have shown weakness in nearly every facet of the game so far this season and if the Colts are unable to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars in one of their two remaining divisional games, it is likely that Indianapolis will join the Detroit Lions as the only NFL tea...

It marked the third consecutive game Painter was held without a touchdown pass for the Colts, who fell to 0-9 with Sunday's 31-7 defeat.Indianapolis has been abysmal at the quarterback position since learning franchise star Peyton Manning would miss most - if not all - of the season with a serious neck injury.Kerry Collins was largely ineffective before being forced out with a concussion, and Painter hasn't been much better in going 0-6 as a starter.

It has been extremely rough on Colts fans, and it has not made it any easier on them having to be forced to stare at Curtis Painter’s face week in and week out. Don’t get me wrong, his interceptions, his over throws, and his lack of any skill tug at the hearts of Colts fans, but truly its that goddamn mug of his that rips their hearts out like Lloyd Christmas in a dream sequence. The problem starts with the hair. Everyone knows that male middle-parts died with Jonathon Taylor Thomas. Some players have the ability to rock the long locks (Troy Polamalu, Clay Matthews, Matthew Stafford,etc.), Curtis Painter is not one of them. I think it pains Colts fans most just knowing that he wakes up every morning looks himself in the mirror, and decides to start his day. However it’s not just the awful wannabe Spicoli hair that make...
