Colts 2023 Breakout Player


Defjamz26

Recommended Posts

Is there a player on this team you guys think will have a breakout year? Besides any of the rookies though. Last season I thought Franklin was that player for us. He ended up setting the franchise record for tackles in a season and was great as the captain of the defense. It was his best year to date. 
 

This year my vote would be for Bernard Raiman. He actually got better as the season went on after Saturday got to work with him. I think another full offseason is going to take his game to the next level. I think he’ll grade out as a top 12 OT when it’s all said and done.

I will be looking at the receiving group for someone to brakeout or make a big step forward in development. Alec Pierce may get some deep throws that none of the QBs had the arm to throw last year. Jelani Woods I would love to see get more catches and brake out being a big target, Philly did love using their TEs. On the Defensive side I’m looking at Nick Cross and Dayo to possibly breakout. I think with the lack of depth at CB we will see a lot more Safeties being used and Thomas, Blackmon, and Cross all being on the field together. As for CB I pray Dallas Flowers brakes out.

Zack Moss in the backup running back role


Rodney Thomas proves rookie year wasnt a fluke establishes himself as a starting safety in this league. 

 

He was really a surprise that didn't get much hype due to what happened with our season. His production as a rookie from a 7th rounder was phenomenal. Love his instincts.

I don't know about breakout year, but I'm hoping a lot of our young guys take a least one step up the production ladder.

 

Pittman

Kwity

Dayo

Blackmon

Pierce

Woods

Raimann

 

While I hope for improvement from Pittman, Pierce and Woods I'm doubtful we'll see it this year with our QB situation being what it is.

I don't think any WR or TE can exceed with a developmental QB.  I think the breakout player will have to come from the D or ST.  The D is going to get a lot of chances and be on the field a lot and someone is going to have a lot of tackle stats.  I think Taylor will get a ton of touches but teams are going to be stacking the box with a rookie QB so I am not thinking he is going to have a monster yr.

 

I think we'll be punting and kicking lots of FGs so it could be one of the specialists too.

    • Notices of posts on this thread kept popping up. I knew there was no way the conversation was still about TB and the roast…. so I literally just hopped in here to see where the conversation veered off to. Wow, what a tangent!  Might be one of the best I’ve seen on the forum 
    • We’ve had many long time posters who’ve gone MIA…    I’d like to imagine he retired from many years of teaching and is enjoying the quiet life on a beach somewhere.    @southwest1 always posted interesting topics as well that I miss reading. 
    • Does anybody know what happened to or became of Princeton? I used to enjoy his "everything will be alright" comment.
    • Wilt dominated Bill Russell when they played, what Boston fans don't comprehend for some reason is, the Celtics had all the best players on their team other than players like West, Baylor, and Robertson. Outside of that the league had a bunch of MEH players back then except on Boston. Boston had Cousy, Havlicek, Sam Jones, Tom Heinsohn, and KC Jones besides Russell. Russell could get away with playing a bad game on occasion because Havlicek or Sam Jones or even Heinsohn could go for 25 and they would still win. Cousy wasn't a great shooter but was a great Assist guy and would just run that team like a great QB does.   Bill Simmons has Bill Russell as the 2nd greatest player ever, that is what ruins his list and I agree with a lot of his rankings. Loved his book and love his knowledge on ranking players but his Russell ranking is simply because he is from Boston. No way in hell is Bill Russell the 2nd greatest player of all-time. He had too many offensive deficiencies to be that. To me Larry Bird was the better player compared to Bill Russell.    Simmons top 10 updated: 1. Michael Jordan 2. Bill Russell 3. LeBron James 4. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 5. Magic Johnson 6. Larry Bird 7. Wilt Chamberlain  8. Tim Duncan 9. Kobe Bryant  10. Jerry West   Mine is: 1. Michael Jordan (we agree)   2. Magic Johnson   3. LeBron James (we agree)   4. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (we agree)   5. Kobe Bryant   6. Larry Bird (we agree)   7. Wilt Chamberlain (we agree)   8. Steph Curry - Bill has Curry 15th.   9. Shaq O'Neal - Bill has Shaq 13th.   10. Bill Russell - yes, he makes my top 10, great defensive player, great rebounder, a good scorer but not a dominant scorer and a winner. His 11 championships can be viewed in a lot of different ways compared to how players won theirs in the 80's-up until now. 11 is 11 though so a top 10 list without him would not like right.   He had West and Duncan in his top 10 - I don't. I have Shaq and Curry instead. To me Shaq was more dominant at his peak than Duncan was, and Curry changed the game with his 3-point shooting. Shaq is the only player in NBA history other than Michael Jordan to win 3 straight Finals MVP's (2000-2002), he has to be top 10. I never thought I would see a better shooter than Reggie Miller, then Steph entered the building. Steph also does have 4 championships, a Finals MVP, and 2 League MVP's + he has the most 3 pointers made in NBA history.
