AKB Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Are the Indianapolis Colts going to come back this year as a competitive force? Or are we going to look like a joke again? Maybe we are somewhere in the middle. Win one, lose one. What do you think, and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely somewhere in the middle… The first month or two will probably have a lot of growing pains. And the last half of the year will hopefully show good progress. I don’t know how competitive the Colts will be in the first half, but I hope they’ll be much more competitive in the second half of the season. Last year we were a joke. This year we’re rebuilding. That’s not the same. Better days should be ahead, but patience will be important. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucklez Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Don't get too ahead of yourselves guys. Is it possible this team can come back with their hair on fire and surprise everyone? Yes. Is it probable? No. We are likely about 2 years away from being "back" or a "contender".... and that's if a lot of things go right... I'm obviously hoping it's the former and we sre relevant and in the mix, but let's be real, if we even see signs of that coming it will be a massive leap forward. Richardson would essentially need to come out and show he is nfl ready and elite. Which he is almost the opposite of atm. He needs development time. Just dont all freak out when we have a top 10 pick again next year guys, so long as Richardson shows flashes and improvement as the year goes on, I'll be happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJpalmbeacher2 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I have the colts as competing for the Division but its not really based on a turnaround in team talent as we they have several units weak and a question. I think they could compete in the south with AR5 doing a quick transition to the nfl. But that doesn't mean they will be a consistent force for the next decade or have a linear progression to dominance. I just feel the colts will have a turnaround season in '23. But if AR5 turns out to be the real deal then he could carry this franchise on his back(if he has to) from time to time but I'd like to see a good supporting cast around him and not have him to do it alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Miller Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 We will be cellar dwellers. AR isn’t the answer but the colts probably won’t figure that out for awhile. Hope I’m wrong though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are clearly rebuilding so I don’t think we are a joke this year cause there is no expectations. What made last year so awful wasn’t just the WL record it was we were supposed the be good and we’re a complete bozo show. unless AR is just completely incompetent ie. Jemarcus Russell/Ryan leaf/akili smith kind of bad, then this won’t be a joke season but rather one in which a raw rookie Qb shows some promise while he struggles to develop. last year was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerColt Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 This is a learning year and a rebuilding year. Other teams in our own division are more win-ready than us. And let’s not even get started on how we compare to the other conference teams… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no worries about our front 7. I’m 50/50 on the offense and that mainly depends upon if AR comes along, but those CBs scare me. Young and inexperienced. They will be thrown to the fire. I’m expecting us to be one of the worst pass defenses in the league. Especially if our front 7 can’t get pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycolt1 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Imo the talent level of this team is better than most seem to think. With a rookie QB things will be up and down but I feel pretty confident we will improve throughout the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
