Figured I'd share if not already posted.

Maybe when Peyton and Brady are safely retired.

[Bravo]

Probabaly not. Have a chance but sure doesn't look like it right now.

[Warhorse]

Frankly, I hate the term dynasty, I love parity as it strengthens the league, and I despise articles, or videos......which are judged by interaction and comment, not by validity of content.

 

This video at the end of the 2006 season...maybe has some validity. but very little. Filmed right now is a symbol of uber hackness.

[LordHelpOurColts]

Not if they keep drafting stupidly like they have been.

[Toe Toed Sloth]

We haven't even won a single championship yet...

[RockThatBlue]

Not if they keep drafting stupidly like they have been.

And how have they been drafting stupidily? Outside of Werner and a few others from the 2013 draft, grigson has nailed a lot of his picks. And this past draft looks to be a real good one too.

[crazycolt1]

Not if they keep drafting stupidly like they have been.

Just exactly how do you know the Colts drafted stupid? It has yet to be determined. I am sure when all the wheels fall off Irsay will give you a call and heed your advice.

[mattceinicram]

We will be in a few years. We need Brady and Manning out of the league first.

[oldunclemark]

We haven't even won a single championship yet...

Tell 'em, Toe!

[tvturner]

Need a few pieces, the ability to beat New England, and we could be.

[tvturner]

Not if they keep drafting stupidly like they have been.

Just because they didn't draft Tevin Coleman, doesn't mean they have been drafting bad. 

[Gavin]

When we can figure out how to run the ball when we want to, Till then Im not holding my breath

[Valpo2004]

Let's win at least 1 SB first then we'll talk about dynasty. 

[Hoose]

Let's win at least 1 SB first then we'll talk about dynasty. 

Precisely. Until you're a champ with your current crop of players, you're just a team on the rise. Could they be? If you define two SB's in the next few years as a dynasty, sure. . Will they be? Probably not, because it is so hard to win two SBs. But will they win at least one? I DO believe that. 

[ReMeDy]

I like how our GM is also young, and is signing players from outside the NFL. I like that forward-thinking mentality.

[BlueShoe]

Baldy touched on the quarterback, the defense, and the coach. However, I think he left off a very important piece of the puzzle which cannot be overlooked. In my mind, to become a dynasty a team needs to have a great offensive line. 

 

It is possible that we can win a Super Bowl this season and still continue to build the offensive line, and also improve the defense. Theoretically, it is possible that we are in the early stages of a dynasty. I just think we are a few years away, and we also need to win at least one championship before we can seriously be included into the conversation. 

[Colts_Fan12]

With the D we have every year? Not likely at all

[COLTS449]

Yeah we are the next dynasty. Or a dynasty in the making or whatever. We could be a lot closer though if we hadn't drafted Werner and if we hadn't of traded for T-Rich.

[SOMDColtsfan]

With Andrew Luck anything is possible. But..Its going to be hard for any team to be a "dynasty" tho with free agency and salary caps.

[ColtStrong]

Not if they keep drafting stupidly like they have been.

I'm just glad you're not our GM. No one drafts perfectly all the time, but he has hit more than missed.

[mattceinicram]

With Wilson, Foles, Kaepernick all in the NFC, Luck won't have much competition in the AFC for a while.

[Dark Superman]

If the offensive line can stay consistent and we can stop the run effectively.. I like our chances.

[Dark Superman]

With Wilson, Foles, Kaepernick all in the NFC, Luck won't have much competition in the AFC for a while.

Tannehill, Rivers, Roethlisberger.

I am a fan of Bortles. And there's no telling what kind of player Mariota is going to turn out to be.

[Dark Superman]

It should be much improved this year.. But the run defense still scares me!

[braveheartcolt]

Maybe the next Flamingo Road.

[JPFolks]

I don't think we have the coaching staff yet nor the defense. If they hit about 5 home runs on this year's draft, then perhaps it can shape up. But all the while Luck's prime years will be fast approaching along with his massive paycheck sucking the life out of getting FA's and worse, trying to keep our standout players. They've had it easy up until now. After next year, everything changes so they are going for broke. I sure hope they have the defense to pull it off. In 3 years we could have Luck and not nearly the same level of talent around him unless they keep finding magic in the drafts and so far it has been hit and miss badly.

[NewColtsFan]

With the D we have every year?    Our defense has gotten better every year under this new front office and coaching staff.

 

It's not where we want it yet,  but I bet it will be better again for the 4th year in a row.

[superrep1967]

Probabaly not. Have a chance but sure doesn't look like it right now.

It' probably not because were going to have to pay Luck so in the next couple years

[RockThatBlue]

Agreed.

well I'm not impressed yet when start caring a little more about that side of the ball instead of the offense then maybe

[aaron11]

i dont think there will be a "next dynasty" anytime soon.  the patriots dont strike me as one now either, their last championship before this one was a decade ago

[NewColtsFan]

well I'm not impressed yet when start caring a little more about that side of the ball instead of the offense then maybe

 

Well....

 

We just invested in Cole, Langford, Irving and Lowery in Free Agency.

 

We just invested in Smith, Anderson,  Geathers,  Parry and the linebacker whose name escapes me.

 

And I suspect we'll invest much more into defense next year as well.

 

I'm not trying to defend this defense.   I'm not happy where it is.   But it's gotten a little better each year.   Just not as good as I had hoped.

yeah I'm not happy with it either hopefully we get great value with all those late picks I think smith will be good and will replace toler we still need a ilb to go with Irving

Probably not, because it is so hard to win two SBs. But will they win at least one? I DO believe that. 

 

Not sure how dynasty is defined either, I don't think there is a specific definition.  But I think most people would say it has to involve multiple championships and a long track record of winning seasons, probably going to the playoffs nearly every year.

 

I feel fairly confident about having a long track record of winning seasons and going to the playoffs.  Luck isn't going to decline for a while.  But winning championships isn't easy and I would say that's the hard part of being a dynasty.  Several teams have a long track record of winning and going to playoffs every year.  But you have to win the championships to be a dynasty.

[King Colt]

Keep in mind the Patriots win with a lot of unknowns. Balancing the salary money is key. Next year the Colts will pay out some big bucks and maintaining the ability to pay good players is key. I do not know how many H o F players the Pats have but the dynasty of the Steelers and Cowboys have a bunch of them. I just hope they do Luck proud. I would hate to see him have many great years with only a couple trophies. Peyton knows  how that feels.

[dgambill]

At this point it could very well be Seattle. They have been to the last two SBs and have a great defense....and added a very nice piece to that offense. I think you will see GB, SEA, INDY, and NE battling it out the next few years...hard to say if one team or another will distance themselves. If Belicheck hangs around after Brady I can see him and Jimmy forming a good union down the road.

[OLD FAN MAN]

not until we get an elite o-line and run stopping front 7 on defense
