Caldwell says that Sorgi is the #2

For what it’s worth, Jim Caldwell is sticking with Sorgi, for now.

If sixth-year quarterback Jim Sorgi takes his first snaps of the preseason Thursday at Cincinnati, he won’t be competing for his job with rookie Curtis Painter.

“It’s a situation where ‘Sorge’ is our backup guy right now,” Indianapolis Colts coach Jim Caldwell said Sunday. “He’s been here a long time. He knows our system, understands it.

“Obviously, Curtis has made a strong statement, but right now it kind of lines up the way it was when we first got started with Peyton (Manning) at the helm and Sorge backup to Peyton and then Curtis.”

I think that’s more or less what I said.  It’s too soon to go with Painter.
