MIKE75 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 According to a new ESPN Insider article....... They don't have a good GM,haven't done well in the draft,too many players are getting old,etc. If it wasn't for Andrew Luck the team would easily be among the worst in football. http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11294980/without-andrew-luck-indianapolis-colts-nfl-worst-roster?ex_cid=InsiderTwitter_MCCOWN_COLTSWORSTROSTER Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scine09 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Agreed. Taking away the QB I really can't find a worse team in the league. HIlton is a product of Luck. Wayne is obviously very good but he's aging and coming off an injury. Who else do they have? Outside of Mathis a bunch of nobodies on defense. The OL isn't very good.

JLocker10 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 but, but,... he was Exec of the Year,... Trent Richardson trade looks awful Only one season, but Bjoern Werner did not look very good. Fleener is average at best. Most of his FA moves I haven't liked. I do like Dwayne Allen, but not much else Indy might have actually had the better HC (Arians) on their staff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLocker10 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 And yet they still won a playoff game last year. LOL Which is why we've got to get this QB situation resolved ASAP. We're not going to go anywhere until we get a top level QB, whether it's Locker becoming that or it's someone else Guys like Luck, Brady, and Rodgers are still winning despite not having great rosters. A top level QB can mask a lot of weaknesses. I really don't think GB has had that good of a roster the past few years, but they have Rodgers. That GB roster has a lot of holes which have gotten exposed the last few playoff games they've played. But because they have Rodgers, they at least have a chance. I don't think the rest of our roster is that bad. It's lacking big name star power, but it's not bad. There's talent there, but we're only going to go so far if we can't get the requisite QB play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Trent Richardson trade looks awful Only one season, but Bjoern Werner did not look very good. Fleener is average at best.

I think Arians is absolutely a better HC than Pagano who quite frankly looks lost to me half the time, I think he's just one of those yeller, screamer, motivational types.

You think Baltimore was going to let Flacco hit free agency because he's not elite? LOL!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got that "elite HC" look. Many average HC's are overrated due to their demeanor. Pagano, Fisher, Billick, Mike Shanahan, ... all those guys are heralded and jizzed over because of their demeanor. Team owners love a figurehead. I'd even throw Marty in there, but he's had way too many winning seasons and turned around too many franchises. He can't coach a turd out of his own asshole in the playoffs though.

Marty was a great coach. And many of those losses were NOT his fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Baltimore was going to let Flacco hit free agency because he's not elite? LOL!!! It's what the market dictates. Flacco is being paid like he's the best QB in the league. Clearly he's not. Not even close, but that's the way it goes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's got that classic "hardass coach" demeanor. Marty would've been loved no matter his record. I actually wanted us to dump Fisher & go after him when SD fired him after going 14-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
