To me, as much as I am not a huge fan of him as a starter, Ryan Tannehill makes a LOT of sense on that backup QB front. Might cost $10 mil. as a back up but will be more capable than Flacco to win a few games as a pinch starter.

I had a complete shoulder Replacement yesterday. I am told i have a 19 week recovery. So AR could have been completely released before March. And he was far less injured than I. Plus he’s 22- i’m 70. I was on the exercise bike this morning.

Yep. I would say it's almost too silly to be something that Hicks would say. But then I remember, that all season, he would talk about how much the better the offense was with AR than Minshew (even when the numbers didn't even support that). And after the season, he called Steichen a "miracle worker" for how he was able to work with a bad QB like Minshew. All those guys were also pushing the whole "one play away with a backup QB" narrative. Fast forward one season...and the offense is much worse than last year with AR playing. But Hicks really didn't seem to like Minshew. So partly blaming him for AR's current issues seems possible, but still. And you are absolutely right about his objectivity (or lack thereof) in regards to AR. I didn't realize he wrote that article, but I know he has been the conductor of the AR hype train since the Combine.

No. Doesn't every fan know that in FB, a HC can't predict who will play well 4 weeks from now? "going forward" What he said essentially means that, he has no plan to alternate QBs, or no plan to give one QB try over the other, there is no QB competition. There is only one starter, and we plan on keeping him the starter "going forward"...there are no alternative plans. It doesn't mean that when the old starter or the new starter throws 3 interceptions in a game, that they won't be replaced. I think Shane communicated perfectly, in the coach-speak language that every fan should understand, IMO. Its only damming on the Colts if you for some reason remove the possibility that its damming on AR. To manage it more effectively, they should have motivated AR by some other way than benching? Maybe they tried at times using methods we don't know about and they didn't work, so they finally had to resort to benching. We don't know. Not me. I always read coach-speak with skepticism. But I don't assume that my skepticism is correct in that the possible alternatives are actual fact. I think AR was benched for performance. Now I think Flacco is being benched for performance, and everybody on the Colts staff is hoping AR plays well rather than thinking he actually improved over two short weeks. I certainly know that that reality can't be spoken by a HC, so he talks coach speak like the rest of them. Shane handled it fine. Benched the starter 2 games for performance and never disclosed what he is/was really thinking. Great HC communication. There are wide open receivers on every pass play. Both Flacco and AR miss them. The play caller doesn't decide where to throw the ball. The QB decides it based on presnap reads and post snap vision and knowing what plyer should be where under the situation. Its called quick processing. Not all QBs possess it, and its not a coaching issue. Flacco has not been known to be a real quick processor, and he's been coached in the NFL for 17 years. Yes. At .500, everybody should be asked to improve.
