[Colts Looking to Develop Chad Kelly]

I don’t post much, primarily just browse the threads and rarely actually reply. For some reason, this thread got me going..

 

For the first 3-4 years of his career, Tom Brady was a game manager. He wasn’t anything spectacular, just a solid, cerebral player on an exceptionally good team. His biggest knock his entire career has been “his legacy is based on a coach who schemed around him, he only plays the short game, etc..” ... 

 

I find it incredibly ironic that this is the man Brissett learned from his first year in the league. I also find it ironic that some are saying he is simply a game manager because Reich is scheming the short game to great success. 

 

I know I’ll get a lot of shade thrown my way for this next comment, but it needs to be said..

 

I’m neither on the Jacoby Bandwagon, nor against it. I’m simply riding my own horse on the same trail, watching as the current colts are slowly being built in the image of the greatest franchise in all of football.

 

Ive been a Colts fan since before I knew the difference between Blue and White, but I give credit where it is due. The Patriots are a great organization, scandals and controversy or not. You can’t argue their against their success. However, I believe in Ballard and Reich, and I have a strong feeling we are about to witness history.

Hey all, been reading these forums for awhile. Finally decided to sign up. First I’d like to say I really appreciate all the knowledge offered in this forum. It’s the first place I visit for all news Colts. Now, onto the topic. 

 

I’m partial to Toub myself,  but unfortunately he doesn’t seem to be an option. Reich is definitely high on my list though. He comes from a strong coaching background and I’m thoroughly impressed with his fingerprint on the Eagles offense/Wentz/Foles. Not knocking Foles, but I think some undervalue what it takes to turn a backup to starter to Super Bowl MVP in a matter of weeks. Now, could have been DeFilippo, idk. But I’d put my money that Reich’s experience coaching Manning played a large role in the development of Foles. 

 

I think a combination of Reich/Bevell will be a very pleasant surprise to us Colts fan.

 

Side note: I just read IndyStars article on our switch from a 3-4 to 4-3 and I must admit it’s got my hyped for what’s to come on the defensive side of the ball. I have big hopes for this team moving forward, and I have full confidence in Ballard’s ability to turn this team around.
