I'm certain I do.
And yet you can't explain it. OK, bud.

Because parity has nothing to do with the players in a given draft.
I'm not sure you understand the meaning of parity.
Please explain how parity exists in the NFL and how the AFC South is an illustration of it.

I endured multiple losing seasons, a HOF QB that refused to play for them, a move from my home state (MD), ridicule from fans in my home state (MD) who became Redskins fans and enjoyed success at same time, and then more losing seasons (before the Glorious Era of Peyton Thank You God Manning.) Is that enough? My love and loyal support never waivered though, I bleed Colts blue through and through
Why did you continue to support a team that abandoned your city and fan base?

they mean enough to me to have a horseshoe tattoo on my forearm.
Any pics, brah?

That's just one player being better than other players. That has nothing to do with parity.
How can you say all teams have equal chance to build their roster when the quality of players available differs from year to year?
-
What an amazing coincidence!!
I think of you often, particularly when on the toilet. But not so much when cutting the grass.
Hey, it's a small world.....
What do you think about when cutting the grass?
-
Parity means the teams have an equal chance to build their roster.
lol
Maybe if there was an Andrew Luck in every draft their would be equal opportunity.

How big a part does the Colts organization play in your life?
I think about the team often, particularly when on the toilet or cutting the grass.

I've really liked him this season but there's been a lot of negativity towards his play in the Twittersphere. People have been complaining about missed tackles and the fact he often looks lost in coverage.

Parity doesn't mean there are no bad teams. If you don't make good decisions, you're gonna have a tough time winning games. The AFC South illustrates parity, it doesn't disprove it.
Parity means things are equal. The AFC South has been unequally bad for a long time.
In what way does the division illustrate that all things are equal?

Without a doubt we benefit from being in the AFC South...
However I don't know whether it's so much they are bad bad teams or they have one thing missing.... a franchise QB. Whereas we've had one in place for the entirety of the AFC South's history. Any time those teams have had a half decent guy under centre (Schuab... well the good Schaub, Young) they've provided a challenge to us.
Besides we're talking about "easy" games and number of wins doesn't really tell you how "easy" a game is/was. There's quite a few of those W's we were lucky to get (Thank you Randy Bullock!).
I get what you're saying, maybe I just have a little more faith in the team
When I look at the schedule before the season starts I can't help but circle Tennessee at home as a win, I just can't help it.
Maybe there are people out there that look at the schedule and think, "Oh boy, all of these games are difficult, maybe we'll go 16-0 or maybe we'll go 4-12, I just think every game is hard". I am not one of those people. I will be dead long before the Titans win again in Indianapolis, of that I am confident (kinda).

I think it's more like 10 but them's the breaks, it wasn't that long ago the Texans were a play off calibre team and the Jags were beating us.
It's not really the worst cliché as parity is fairly strong in the NFL though it's more evident from season to season than game to game. I'm surprised as a Colts fan you think there are "easy" wins, after we all in 2012/13 we seems to specialise in beating the big boys and losing to the no hopers, dear lord we almost lost to the Raiders to open up 2013!
Parity is fairly strong but it doesn't seem to carry throughout the entire league and the AFC South is evidence of that.
The Titans have been bad for a long time, and despite somehow managing tp beat the Colts a few times, the Jags haven't had a winning season in 8 years.
Houston looked good for a couple of years during Indy's rebuild, before returning to a dumpster fire last year.
The Titans are 1-12 against the Colts in their last 13 games.
Texans are 0-12 in Indianapolis.
Jags have lost their last five games against the Colts.
It's hard not to look at some games on the schedule and think they are almost guaranteed wins.
-
6 easy wins?
First, there are no easy wins in the NFL. Period. There's a reason there's a different champ every year.
The worst cliche in football
There are easy wins in this league.
There's a reason the Colts have won like 15 straight games against the AFC South.

Please Gawd, let's not make "TYH" a thing.
-
our offense is stack and moncreif still gets it done Because Nicks is dead wood and the coaches are finally realising it, thank Gawd.
-
Hilton fell to like #78 or #79
Yeah but with Hilton you could see the reasons for him falling through the cracks.
Undersized for the position, went to a small school etc.
Pretty different to Moncrief's circumstances.
-
Well, it may not be the most helpful, but it is a valid answer. The more competition there is, the harder it will be to get into the first round, second round, etc. While there's this philosophy that you draft the best player available, that doesnt' mean teams won't forego the 33rd prospect overall to take the 35th prospect overall that fills a bigger need. When you got that many good receivers in the draft, it turns a second round prospect into a 3rd. Just the nature of hte beast.
But the artile gives at least some insight as to why he ranked where he did amongst other WRs
Yeah, I understand that teams draft for their own needs rather than picking the best best players.
I was wondering what made the other WRs picked before him seem more valuable. Your article helped answer that question.
-
Read the freakin article. It's all there.
I have read the article, and it was good, thank you.
Still, your initial response of, "because it was a deep draft" wasn't particularly helpful.
-
I can't answer that. Neither can any of us fans. We can only speculate.
Check the article OffensivelyPC posted, it gives an insight.
-
No it doesn't. Saying the draft was deep does not answer my question.
Was it his hands? Route running? Ability to pick up the playbook? etc.
Saying he fell because the draft was deep gives no information whatsoever.
I'll check out the article you posted, hopefully for a real answer.
-
Anybody know how the WRs taken ahead of him are doing?
A few are doing really good.
Some guy called Huff plays for the Eagles and hasn't done anything, nor has Latimer for the Broncos, but obviously their offense is stacked.
-
Because this draft will likely go down as the deepest, best WR draft of all time.
That doesn't answer my question as to why he was deemed less valuable than the wide receivers picked before him.
-
He was the 14th WR selected in the draft.
I know it was a very deep group of talent at the position this year, but I don't watch much college ball so I was wondering what the knocks on him were coming out of college? He is big, fast and appears to have good hands from what we've seen in his limited game time.
His dress game is also on point;
our offense is stack and moncreif still gets it done
