Well the OP here turned out to "probably" be what happened. I stick to what I thought when he first got benched and I made the OP post in this thread that there had to be more happening behind the scenes than what the fan base was led to believe. I gave a number of valid reasons behind it.....with the crux of it AR was just not being serious enough about being an NFL QB. And that seems to the case behind the benching. But even with all of that, I am very happy that AR is back behind center and my one and ONLY hope is he stays healthy enough to play out the season. Whether he is good enough these last 7 games or not is a win win for the Colts. Either he plays well and builds that into next season? Or he is horrible and makes the Colts think that they have to go another direction. Just stay healthy so people have an idea what you are. Which means sliding at the first sign of trouble or going out of bounds. No more hero ball because you think that you are the Hulk weighing 250 pounds as an NFL Qb. It doesn't work. All I ask is that SS calls the game and plays for AR like he should. Quick hitting passes. Run options. Hurry up. If SS does not do that? He is just a horrible head coach. -

Here's what so polarizing for me. I keep waffling on this position, but I really think he could have used a year or 2 riding the pine, learning how to be the man. The problem is he was picked number 4. The expectation when that happens is that should play day one. The unpopular opinion would be to sit him. But that ship has sailed, they've already thrown him into the fire. If you watch the film, he WAS making progress, but it's really no enough. It's not fast enough progress. I hope the real difference is seen next year, when he's had a full offseason, UN-injured, to work on his craft. If he can actually start making let's say 55% of his throws, and start leading receivers a little bit more, then we are in for something special. If not, he'll just be the most athletic QB ever drafted....that couldn't cut it. I'm hoping for the former, because #1 I'm a Colts fan, and I want the Colts to succeed. #2 I'm an optimist, and I yearn for something better than being the retirement home for old QBs. -

I said in the OP it was a conspiracy theory and probably not true. That being said, considering the Colts management history of basically lying about everything when it comes to player personal? Who knows what is really going on. SS just said 2 weeks ago that Flacco was the QB for the rest of the season. Now? Not so much. Believe nothing they say. -

Hey, I am the 1st one to admit. I am a true * at times, lol. It's a football forum. It allows me to act in a way that I never would around my wife and be allowed to live , -

Very happy with today's move. Despite me having Downs and Pierce on my fantasy team. Although I do have JT and that should help having AR back.

All I ask is that SS calls the game and plays for AR like he should. Quick hitting passes. Run options. Hurry up. If he keeps calling plays like AR is Manning? Houston? We have a problem.
