Defense has a chance to get a little healthier this week. Smith adding a ankle though is not good. -

If the defense had showed up this team could be 5-0 -
Yeah, but Darnold was meant to be a bridge QB. He has 66 games on 3 other teams of average to bad QB play though. If we aren't judging AR on 9 games...we probably shouldn't judge Darnold on 5 games on a very good team. He's not the future in MIN either. And it's not like the Colts have the luxury to wait until AR in his 7th season. If anything, guys like Darnold an Mayfield support the approach they were taking with Wentz, which is an approach that nearly all Colts fans have since disparaged (including myself). -
Since you are clearly directing this at me... It's been 5 games. He's played great, but criticism of AP was valid. None of his critics said he wasn't a viable deep threat...because we have seen him have games like this before in his career. He's always had the ability to get behind the defense at times. But let's see where he is at season's end before we start acting like this is some sustainable thing or he's this stud WR. I hope it does, but even JAC managed to shut down the deep ball until they just decided not to cover (Colts pass catchers or the spread) at the end of that game. Saying AP has played well is sort of the same thing as saying AR has struggled. It's just an observation of a small sample of games. We shouldn't be jumping to conclusions based off of it. But we do have our hunches. All of it will play out. And until he shows improvement, criticism is valid. But we are comparing apples to oranges. AR is meant to be a franchise QB, who was taken in the top 5. AP is a R2 WR (probably the WR3 on this team). There are vastly different standards for each player. And right now, AR has not been playing well. Not to mention he gets hurt all the time. Nobody was questioning AP's health either.
