WE can still get a good QB, draft is a crapshot. Stroud looked great against Michigan Cracking Up Lol GIF by Rodney Dangerfield

I don’t like Stroud personally. Best option is Young I think, I’ve watched a lot of Bama this year and he has all of the intangibles you’d want and he’s very talented with both his arm and legs. Just needs some proper coaching to sharpen him up

its clearly the QB is the biggest problem even when the pocket is clean he throws horrible passes and picks .    i will never understand why people defend him so hard .  yea the line is bad but even looking at stats colts give up 30 percent pressure rate the other 70 what is he doing ?   he is just not that good anymore  frank was right to bench him honestly put sam in let him run around like the redskins game

Pointless to play Sam. He isn’t ever going to be a full time starter ever. We can lose with Matt just as well.

Sorry, but pressure is almost immediate, if not immediate. Both sides are failing fast. Hard to trust the OL, when neither  side is failing. And can't step up when the C is pushed back. We simply need to run more... and go max protect when we pass. 

if luck was on this team would they score 14 points a game ?     that is the question yes the offensive line is bad but ryan is just terrible this year .   even with a better line i dont think ryan is anywhere close to a top ten QB .   he is not putting up rivers numbers even with a solid line .

Luck played on much worse teams and got them to the playoffs. Point being that football is a QB-driven sport

No yards in a quarter is embarrasing.

I am sure glad we fired Frank cause he was the problem. I know he is a deep religious man and a stand ip guy. Iowever a part of him has to feel vindicated.  I think a couple of weeks ago his coaching stick was way down. I think teams will take a 2nd look and go man, it looks like talent was the issue.

Reich’s coaching sucked. Regardless of talent. He sucked.

It was both coaching and talent. Regardless of Frank’s abilities as a leader, his play calling stunk. Ballard has failed to get a real QB and a real OL too.

Keep up the fire.

    • Sometimes when an elite player goes down a diamond in the rough is found! I don’t get wrapped up in the colts like I used to. If they are playing terrible I usually find something else to do or watch.I don’t let it affect my whole day.
    • I have no question that AR is our QB. He has showed enough to me. Now he has to figure out how to protect himself so he can stay on the field. That will come with more  game experience.
    • Thanks for this as yes, I sometimes don't adequately express my take I guess..Ha!! Happens. 🤷‍♂️ But you are correct. Cam to me as you stated was never a consistently good QB at the NFL level and that is why I was never a fan of his game. I guess it's all about how one views what an NFL QB should be or look like. I'm not a fan of Lamar either as I think he is somewhat in the mold of that type of QB. Great athlete who just happens to play QB. Outside of that Raven scheme, I'm not sold on the fact the Jackson could ever flourish. It's why over 90% of the time if Lamar is needed to bring the Ravens out of a deficit he can't do it. It's not his game, yet there are those who think Lamar is superior and he has achieved personal accomplishments. Ravens do consistently win though but it's an entire team deal as their defense is normally rock solid to compliment that run first style. We don't have that here in Indy
    • I already laid out the injuries.  You can say what you want but one was the coaches pulling him in the Rams game because they were down multiple scores with little time left, two of the others were a concussion and a shoulder injury that required surgery so that rules out toughness.  Then the Steelers game he tried to comeback and clearly wasn’t moving well and it’s reported he has injury that does cause players to miss time and there is a chance he plays Sunday which seems to be counter productive to people who want argue he’s not tough enough.  None of those involve him lacking toughness.  It’s a nonsense argument made up by fans who are tired of him being injured.     also Richardson has taken wicked hits and hopped right back up from them.  To the point people complain about the league not protecting him with roughing the passer calls.  If he had no pain tolerance he wouldn’t get up from the those hits.   yes he needs to be better at protecting himself.  Again that has nothing to do with toughness.   Also I am not comparing him to Luck if you read my post.   I am pointing out Irsay is acknowledging they are being cautious with Richardson and injuries because of what happened with Luck.  That’s not comparing the two players.
    • IMO the only reason to not play Richardson (when healthy) is if you've given up on him. Joe Flacco has a role on this team and that role is secondary or tertiary to the main goal of this team at this moment - namely developing AR and figuring out if he can be our franchise QB. The best way to do both of those is to play him and let him gain experience and playing time... And, ultimately to get enough snaps that you feel comfortable with whatever decision you come to about his long term prospects. And IMO the only reason to bench him is if you think you've gotten the answer to that primary question and it is negative.    Otherwise, we are doing the same thing we were doing the last 3 years before we drafted him and IMO that's the worst place to be as a franchise in regards with your QB... Where you not only don't have a franchise QB but you don't even have the hope of having one on the roster.   I can't believe this conversation is even being had. If he can play... He has to play.
