No I'm not and it's quite possible he's not ever going to be. But AR WILL get better with experience - just like Manning did. AR brings different things than Manning.

Good lord. Even discussing this stiff in relation to PM is ridiculous. Start with comparing him to Jeff George when he was a Colt. AR might be roughly comparable to George someday. Both could throw the ball through a wall and neither had a clue about playing the position.

Gus Bradley needs to go. Everyone is talking about AR, the real issue right now is our DC.

Yea he does, however this game shows it's also a talent issue. Gus is being aggressive and selling out to stop the run. I have always felt that Gus was extra conservative in his play calling because he had no faith in the lbs, corners and safeties ability to cover.

AR is already poised to be more successful than Jeff George because Jeff George was an arrogant jerk. AR is humble and polite, that serves you much better as a young QB. Just ask Ryan Leaf.

They fed Darnold to the wolves and then blamed it all on him when he failed. The Jets are a garbage franchise that doesn’t do right by their fans

 

Their offensive line was terrible! They seemed to put a lot of their resources on their defense, IIRC.

 

Has the third quarter started?

Nope, about 1:30 left in the 2nd. We just stopped the Bears on 4th and goal!

Manning's completion rate was all over his rookie year as well.

You're judging off 3 games, lol, ridiculous.

Cuz he got hurt and only played a portion of those 4 games his rookie year. Not helping your case as Manning didn’t miss any significant time his first season.

You're still judging him off 3 games and forgetting AR's receivers have been mostly * outside of Pierce. Manning had a HOF'er in Harrison.

    • The Colts have been in Indy for 40 years.   And we have a lot more banners in the rafters than most teams. 
    • My observations.....   SS is imo not a very good coach right now.  Perhaps he can learn but I am not liking what I am seeing.  For one, his play calling is very very vanilla.  Pretty much Frank Reich 2.0.  He was supposed to be an offensive guru.  Innovative.  New.  I don't see anything from him that says that at all.  He does not play to AR's strengths and instead seems to want to make him into a drop back QB.   It wasn't until the 4th Q that he started to play to his strengths and you could see AR's confidence rise like the morning sun.  His entire demeanor changed.  He actually got excited.  And for heavens sakes....ese Taylor much much more.  Get him some swing and screen passes.  USE THE GUY.  He is the best player on the team by far and yet is used half as much as he should be.   And let me say this.  The play right before the 2 minute warning.  The kickoff? To me SS not telling the returners to run the ball no matter what just to get rid of the 2 minute warning?  A coach should be fired for that.  That is SO BASIC of an instruction to tell your kickoff team that I am sure it is something that would happen in pee wee football.  The fact that SS failed to do that throws up so many red flags imo and is exactly something that Frank Reich would do.   I don't think he is very quick in his feet and his ability to adapt is poor.  And for a QB guru?  AR seems to be regressing.  Not progressing.   AR imo will be fine.  More than fine.  He has all the ability in the world and I really have to wonder why there are so many anti AR fans on this board.  He has played all of what?  7 games?   Who do you guys want instead as qb?   Wentz?  Rivers?  He is young.  Very talented.  Very high ceiling.  I will take my chances with him.  I really wonder though why he is not progressing with his accuracy.  Throwing a ball to a WR is something he has been doing since he was a kid.  It is almost like fielding a ground ball in baseball or shooting a free throw.  It should be a very basic thing to complete a 5 yard swing pass.  If I thought he was overwhelmed mentally or just did not have the talent to throw I would say that.  But he normally makes good reads and does not seem at all flustered by NFL defenses.  But his ball just sails.  Again, for an NFL Qb guru, SS is really failing AR in this regard.    Chicago is not a very good team and the Colts would not have probably won against many other teams but a win is a win so it is what it is. 
    • It has nothing to do with how storied they are.   Because its actually harder to get tickets to thier teams games, so they make even more on them than people in Indianapolis do.    Its simply because they dont sell thier team out to make a few bucks, because they care more about it than people in Indianapolis. They would rather go to the game.  
    • I hope you are correct. I don't feel that way though. I hope I am wrong but 6 interceptions in 3 games? On pace for 34.....
    • This entire sub-thread has been about the fans.    If the packers up and moved next week to Duluth, would those fans have the same level of loyalty as the Green Bay fans? No.
