twfish Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I feel like we are in the exact same spot we have been in for several years now. A playoff roster lacking a QB. I don't mean to be a downer but this season is pretty much over for me now. No real excitement 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think our roster is that impressive. The big thing we were all looking forward to was watching Richardson play, and hopefully improve as the season went on. It sucks that we won't get anymore of that. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitches Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Fingers crossed for quick and full recovery. Next year becomes as important for his development as this year was supposed to be. We already saw some signs of improvement and hopefully that trend continues after the recovery. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, Superman said: The big thing we were all looking forward to was watching Richardson play, and hopefully improve as the season went on. It sucks that we won't get anymore of that. Yeah, there really isn't that much to be excited about I guess. I still think there is an outside chance we can compete in the division this year, even though I don't think we have an impressive roster. We are playing a lot of not good teams. If not after a week or two, I won't be overly interested in the games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree that this team has playoff roster. We have SEVERE lack of talent(or young guys we still don't know about) at some of the most important positions and you cannot be a serious playoff contender with those types of holes IMO. I guess a great QB might drag this team to the playoffs like Luck used to, but I don't think this roster is close to contention. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can get a little better depth in places. A elite QB always lifts your team to new heights. This league has a lot of parody. Teams are very close talent wide. There are always a couple who are plain just bad but most teams can beat anyone. Colts are not a cellar dweller. But a bad QB can drag a team down.

I think in the corporate world, words from the ceo carry weight anecdotally if you recall the convo polian and dungy had over the ultimate Dallas Clark pick. Irsay pops in and says I don’t know what you will do but i would take the tight end. Polian said that ended the discussion right there So when irsay is the spokesman for a decision. It makes me think he weighed in on it. And now the matter is settled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original was during the Titans game early in the season. Then in that offseason he re-injured it in a snowboarding accident… In hindsight, he probably should’ve went through with the surgery immediately to repair it all.

IndyD4U Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Anthony will be fine. He’s gotten a taste of the NFL and hopefully this aids in helping him protect himself.

We don’t k ow the extent of the Injury and the timetable for recovery. If they’re suggesting it’s a shutdown for the remainder of the year then one has to assume that he likely won’t be engaged in any physical activity outside of rehab. So there goes the whole “practice /scout team thing. Yes and that is unfortunate. But him having time to fully absorb the offense vice being out there with his legs taking shots is nice. Rookie QBs generally don't take teams anywhere noteworthy year one anyway. So he should be able to master that playbook, get to the point where he know the plays inside and out, and next year in camp the installs should be smooth for him and he'll be ready to roll.

We have a decent defense and a potentially strong ground game. Hopefully we have a lot of close games and pull out some victories. this will give us a chance to see how good our new head coach really is, if he can use our rbs and this roster to make the playoffs, then we will know he is really good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’m reading…. If AR has to get surgery, he likely won’t be able to do much throwing until roughly May. Not much camp left. Then comes the roughly 45 day break followed by the fall camp starting in late July. I believe that’s when we will all have a better idea of how the surgery went and how much of the playbook AR has been able to absorb. If I’m off on my info here, I’m sure someone will correct me.
