    Really? So every head coach in the league has a QB who either gets wins or don't.

    The QB does not do anything without a team around him. 

    If it has to be explained to you about team depth and the talent level drop off  then I suggest taking a course in football 101. 

    All you want to do at this point is argue. No thanks, there is nothing more to say that hasn't already been said too many times. 

    Nope. Stop posting nonsense. Pagano has admitted that Luck is more responsible for wins than himself during his tenure. That's the bottom line.

    If that is what you think I did you didn't comprehend what I did say. 

    Pagano was not the kind of head coach who pointed fingers or threw his players under the bus. How much more plainer can it be said? 

    You cant spin away from the fact that Pagano has gone on record to say Luck was more so responsible for the Colts success under him. How much more plainer can that be said?

    Pagano always took the blame for his players. That is why every player that played for him loved the guy. He has never made excuses or threw one of his players under the bus.

    Like I said- His game adjustments were hampered by the lack of talent. 

    What you are failing to realise is that Pagano was a first time head coach when he joined the Colts. He still didn't have a losing record and was not even close to being as bad as most think in this forum. Just because the fans want a scrape goat does not mean he deserved being one. 

    You’re literally arguing against Paganos own words.

    I do not agree. The three 11-5 starts prove that. Advancing deeper into the playoffs each of those three years also shows that.

    Fans blaming the head coach for losses is real easy without looking at why things happen. 

     

    Pagano himself disagrees with your post.

    Pagano sucked at in game adjustments, motivation and game planning. I wouldn't say he is the worst coach ever but he provided minimal value to the team, although Grigson significantly hampered his ceiling with this team.

  5. Yes and no.

     

     

    The losses versus Houston and Tenn were very bad, our health played a very big part in that. We would have gotten massacred against anybody in the playoffs had we made it. Now if Brissett played well consistently I’d say we had a chance to go on a run like the Titans, but with him stinking the place up and our secondary being decimated, along with losing Turay, allows me to believe otherwise.

    I agree having a duel threat at QB helps but how long can they stay healthy running a lot besides throwing. So far Wilson has stayed healthy but look at guys like Cam and RG3. If Lamar can stay healthy for the next 3 or 4 years playing his style than he would've beat the odds. I am sure the Ravens will take it. Even our own Andrew Luck paid the price by taking off and running too much. 

    I believe our coaching staff would be the difference here. Cam and RG3 both suffered from bad coaching. Andrew Luck is the biggest example of a coaching staff failing a player that I have ever seen. He didn’t really pay the price of running too much as much as he did of running for his life. 
     

    Our current coaching staff is light years ahead of the Grigson/Pagano days, I think they are capable of maximizing the talent of whoever is at QB.

    That I can live with it’s mostly the Grigson part I disagreed with.  He made several moves that set this team back for years.  This hurt this year and that’s it.  All GMs have moves like that.

    I have a feeling that's the part that most posters here disagreed with, and I understand why.

     

    Grigson to Colts fans is like Voldemort to Harry Potter.

    A guy on a one year contract who happened to get hurt isn’t a bust it’s just part of football.  It’s not like he gave him a long term expensive contract or traded a first round pick for him.  That would be a Grigson level bust.  These things happen in football.  Ballard couldn’t have known that ahead of time.  If he did then of course he wouldn’t have signed him.  It stinks but this does little to no damage to the long term future of the team like Grigson did several times over.  

    I disagree.

     

    Saying it was Grigson level was an exaggeration but so far, signing Funch has been a bust.

    You can’t be a bust when you haven’t played. 

     

     

    You absolutely can be a bust because you haven't played.

     

    This doesn't mean it's Funchess' fault, injuries are just bad luck. But the Colts most certainly did not get a return on investing in him, meaning he was a bust. Even if he played, it wasn't certain he was going to work out...which is why he signed a cheap deal in the first place.

    Assuming they go ahead and activate Funchess along with having Doyle healthy I don't think we'll miss him much.  You can use Funchess in a very similar Fashion as Ebron.  Personally I think Funchess won't drop it quite as much either despite his supposed high drop rate in Carolina for a season here or there. 

    I disagree. Even if Ebron didn’t get targeted, his presence demanded a double team. Funchess is a big target but was an underachiever with Newton.

  11. It’s going to be harder to get production out of our receivers without Ebron on the field. Hilton should still do damage but he’s gotta get back up to speed. 
     

     

    I’m very disgusted with our passing game this year...somehow the one year our running game is respectable we can’t even run play action or get any chunk plays....smh
