AR is benched. He needs stuff to work on. What stuff I'm not telling you Welp, we see AR progressing on the stuff we thought he needed to work on, so he's starting this week. And we had like 12 threads of 7 pages each discussing conspiracies amongst other things. LOL.

SS still has to become a way better coach when it comes to game management. This doesn't let him off the hook in that regard, lol. -

Yeah u could be right. I was pretty emotional about the way they handled it. I thought SS was rather distant and AR said he wasn't told . Today SS was some what glowing bout the kid. I should have taken my own advice. I said it is always better to be the tough guy at first and then be comforting after u have established clear boundaries with someone. To be soft at first makes it almost impossible to climb that mountain when u later try become that tough guy. Parenting 101 , lol. -
Steichen has managed the situation perfectly. Perfectly! It was easy to predict that AR gets benched with a 44% season completion percentage before going on national TV, and then benched another game to work on something serious to work on. Then a few weeks later (turns out only two), Shane says AR has progressed a bit from whatever unspoken issue he needed to work on, and has been rewarded with the starting job again. A pretty predicable speed bump in the season, and the forum blows up. Just an awful response by fans to the original benching, IMO.

I don't see AR as a polarizing player at all. I think everybody wants him to succeed. Its not the player. Its the fans. What caused the forum to blow up was the fans' reaction to the benching. I think the hero image they has was popped, and were angry at the Colts for popping it. As I figured, AR has returned to the starting line up after a few games. It looks a bit foolish to get so upset when a raw young QB gets justifiably benched 2 or 3 games because he was playing at an embarrassingly low level...thereby also embarrassing the Colts uniform. Why get so angry about it?
