I think the problem is that Ballard waited WAY too long to address the QB situation with a young guy. If we trade up for Justin Herbert in 2020 (which is what I wanted), we've already won the division multiple times and we're perennial SB contenders. Instead Ballard tried to "win now" with washed up QBs. It worked for a year with Rivers, but you knew that was only ever going to be 1-2 years max. Now we have a long developmental guy in AR. Stroud was my favorite in 2024. AR was my second. Levis was my third. I was in the never Bryce camp, because I don't believe a QB that is barely taller than I am and has less muscle mass than I do could ever succeed, period. We have what we have. We have AR, who could be great in a few years, and we have an aging roster that could be finished in a few years. I'm worried Ballard missed his window, but we'll see. -
Ironically, for years with frank's offense we had sustained between the red zone drives and TOP, but no big scoring plays. This season, we have had some big plays but no sustained drives, really. The defense that keeps AP from breaking big plays will tend to also keep JT from making long runs. If it stays like this, defenses will force the Colts to do everything underneath, and that's ARs biggest weakness. I assume defenses would be content to let the Colts churn the field at 4 to 5 YPC from a RB, because the field becomes "the box" in the red zone, and we really don't have a short yardage punching running game for red zone running. AR needs to figure out the underneath game. And no, specific play calling won't undo that issue. -

The beautiful thing about a new week early in the season is that the narrative about the Colts can change quickly with a solid performance on Sunday. I've been surprised by what we've seen so far and I hope to be surprised again, this time in a positive way, this Sunday. Let's see an angry Colts team take out their frustration against the Bears. Grr! -
There's a big difference between learning to play the game and learning to win games. The Colts never seem to get past learning (or trying) to play the game (chopping wood and every other cliche you can think of). It's been that way for years now with several different coaches and general managers. You can lose a team through continually losing games. We've seen that happen over and over again. -

With better (even average) QB play, having long sustained drives on offense and maybe playing with a LEAD at some point, our D wouldnt look so bad. Give them the lead and dont have them on the field for 2/3 of every game, and I bet things would look FAR different. I know I'm not the oldest fan on here by far, but I'm so sick of the losing culture we've had for the majority of the time since Peyton left... I understand Irsay wanted to draft Luck and move on...but he also talked a lot of trash about the Peyton years not long afterwards, and Luck played what, 2 more years than Peyton? I hate the way Luck left us high and dry like he did, but I also really liked him as a player... but the choices made in the GM(s) and coaches we've hired since we cleaned house in 2011 is part of the reason he retired early and a huge reason why we are here over a decade later, still "rebuilding". No one is afraid to play us anymore...we arent seen as a team worthy of having a prime time game on tv...there's no toughness on our team at all, coaches or players, at this point. People called us a soft team in the 2000s when we werent, we had real leadership...but no one talks about it now, when we are one of the softest, least motivated/prepared teams in the league
