    Gardner Minshew has 11 games to show he can be a starting quarterback and not just the best back up quarterback. I know I’m in the minority, but I think he can do it. I’ll be rooting hard for the guy to succeed! Shane has got to help him out though with better play calling. Going to have to lean on our running backs. Everyone needs to step up. Let’s Gooooooo! 

    If we base our opinion for colts quarterbacks based on how they play in Jacksonville, it'd be a skewed picture.

    The leaders of the team are the same. And it's not one player. Ryan Kelly was the one that lied to Zak Keefer about being vaccinated. Leonard was another vocal leader... There was a reason this team was the least vaccinated team in the league. It was not just Wentz. 

    Again professional athletes get caught using steroids regularly. Those are individual decisions. Again I think you are grasping at straws for this narrative.

    I'm not exactly co-signing his point, but the Colts had one of the lowest rates of vaccination (maybe the lowest) in the league. And in contrast with other teams, whose coaches and execs and especially best players were strong advocates for vaccination, four of the Colts best, most prominent players were openly against vaccination, and may have dissuaded other players on the team. By the time the coaches and execs started talking about it, the Colts were way behind the rest of the league, and it was too late.

     

    This is not to take a side pro or against. But stitches point is that other teams leadership and locker rooms showed an ability to unite around a difficult topic in an uncertain time, and the Colts were unable to do the same. 

     

    I don't think I agree with him about this reflecting a problem in the current locker room. And I don't even think the Grover suspension is necessarily a reflection of a locker room problem. But it's certainly been a rough stretch of time for this team, we've been lurching from one crisis to another since 2015. 

    Seems like a stretch to connect these things together to me. Professional athletes get suspended regularly for PED usage.

    This locker room has been complete and utter failure for a while now. Lack of leadership(or nagative leadership) on multiple levels. This whole thing started to disintegrate with their response to the pandemic - the worst team with their response to the pandemic, a team captain lying to media about being vaccinated, then they all got sick for the most important games and % the bed in TWO "win and you're in" games for the playoffs... then the %show of a season last year... then a player caught betting... on his own team, then another player caught with PEDs... 

     

    There is just something lacking in this locker room.  

    What does the pandemic response have to do with this current team? That was one player who has not been a colt long enough to disprove your point.

    I wonder if it would help KC for Andy Reid to give up play calling duties. The team apparently needs a change of some kind. Their trick plays often backfire, and Mahomes just doesn't look comfortable. Another person could make a positive difference. 

    I thought he was already essentially forced to do that years ago. I was under the impression Eric Bienamy had been calling plays for a while.

    Not really. Ridley (ATL) is inactive again for ??

     

    I'm interested to see if Lamb gets fined again lol.

     

    Mostly interested in how many snaps Dayo gets.

    Ridley might never come back. Shocking to quasi retire in his prime. I feel for falcon fans because we understand how it feels to get blindsided by our best player...
