Exactly the type of game you want to see with a young team like this and a rookie qb. Stand up and fight We keep showing heart and ability, love it

It's incredible and sad to see how little faith fans have in the players they supposed to root for. It's week 4 *, why are we so afraid of setting realistic expectations for players. This forum has been sad to read through the past few months.

NFL.com rankings or PFF stats are about as useful as Ryan Grigson in a draft room

Wish him all the best, I think he can be a better player than we seen here

One of those games I wouldn't be surprised to lose, doesn't mean we aren't a better team, just the matchups This game mostly depends on Steichen whether we start Minshew or AR

I get why you'd say that, but I think it does and McAfee has talked about the disadvantages of staying in Indianapolis as well. Fact of the matter is, there are just a lot more opportunities for everything on the coasts. That being said, AR is gonna be as good of an FA magnet as there can be in Indianapolis and first job would be to extend JT if he still wants to be here. Definitely exciting times ahead.

I don't necessarily agree with that, it's a historical issue and more so geographic than anything else. You can see in this media age how ex players carve out newer and newer possibilities for themselves after their career and Indy simply isn't that location. Simply put Indy has never been attractive enough as an athletic location, not even w Manning or Luck, you need to have a certain type of character and that's exactly what Ballard has been aiming at ever since he took over. I believe he understood from the beginning that the Colts need to overpay to attract players elite or average(like Funchess) and its better to self develop and add if an opportunities arises but it is rare. Anyway, that's my view on it.

So glad to see him becoming elite, I thought he hit his ceiling last year but the man keeps getting better The issue is as always with us, we need those players to want to be here too

This team has heart and to all those doomers and ballard haters, I’ve heard Denver is looking for new fans 👀

As much as I want to see AR, I'll be happy to see Minshew too this weekend, he is a fun player and the boys seem to like to play with/for him, besides, sideline experience won't hurt AR either.

I know it's crazy to say this out loud, been a fan of the Colts since 1999 and what Manning has become has captured my interest and amazed me for over a decade but darn Luck became my favourite player ever in those few years he played. This guy has heart. It all started with that tackle on Shareece Wright.

As long as we are competitive in this game and execute our offensive and defensive schemes, basically looking like we have a plan, I'm happy. Big test.

I hope he is okay, gotta learn and navigate the waters of a running nfl qb unfortunately this is the risk but thats why he is unique, I trust him to improve on this also don’t forget, this is a 21-22 year old who excelled physically everywhere he ever played, he is finding out where he is on the food chain in the nfl but I like his chances

I see what you saying and its an interesting thought and I wouldnt be surprised if that would factor in to team building approaches all over the league but I believe Ballard to have a strong bpa mindset when it comes to drafting. Limiting yourself to certain positions each year to fill those positions w talent, based on the fact you prioritise those positions purely out of cost effectiveness seems like a contradiction ps. didn't read previous comments just that one I replied to

Sad to see this happening but it is the way of the markets. Simple supply and demand. They way the league been flooded with WR talent the past 3-4 years, it's a matter of time till similar things happen w that position. Organic circles.
