All the little things add up. And you will just say it was another reason they won, and not even think of the entire football operations.

Nothing to hate on, well, except the haters will find something.
They always do.

It's still a QB driven league. The last 4 years QB's for the Colts:

2022 Matt Ryan
2022 Sam Ehlinger
2022 Nick Foles
2021 Carson Wentz
2021 Jacob Eason
2020 Phillip Rivers
2020 Jacoby Brissett
2020 Zach Pascal
2019 Jacoby Brissett
2019 Brian Hoyer
2019 Zach Pascal

There is a huge difference between scouting/player acquisition and analytics.
Them losing Andrew Luck reminds me of our team after losing Aikman and the QB carousel the next few years. Rivers and Ryan weren’t bad gambles, you could do worse for a starter. But nothing left in the tank I guess.

That looked like a great up and coming team when Reich first started. They lost it all fast.

This is why I do not buy into the 28 years myth. After players were retiring, leaving via FA in the late 90's, getting older. Irvin is out, yes some poor drafting.
Aikman retires, an aging Emmitt.
Everyone knew there were going to be some down years, 4 or 5 years worth, and it was. Then a 10 year mistake at coaching.

we just need to get Jerry back to sniffing jocks and folding socks. That is what won us championships.

This guy won nothing for the Colts. sheesh.

The Colts have sucked lately. I will reserve judgment on this hire.
You think the Colts have sucked because of an extra set of eyes, and a good gameday brain that helps make decisions during crucial parts of the game on Sundays? Come on man…
The Colts suck because they haven’t had a QB since Luck or even Manning. Had zero to do with Park.

Our owner has issues.
Booger thinks analytics is you have 10 apples and your neighbor sneaks into your backyard and steals 4 apples, how many apples do you know have?

The apparent answer is 6 apples but not the real answer. The real answer is 10 apples.....and a dead neighbor.

Shout out to "Evil Roy Slade" for that, one of the funniest lines ever delivered in a movie.

What do the Colts reporters think about the Cowboys FA signings and draft?

What do the Colts reporters thinks about letting Moore walk, McC calling plays and hiring Shottenheimer?

More excuses. 28 years is a fact -we have not truly been in the conversation to either make it or win the SB since then. Always one of Jerry's mistakes is the key reason; usually coaching hires but also his player decisions. In the end the buck stops with Jerry for why the boys are no longer contenders just pretenders.

They are contenders now.

So did anyone not analyze the QBs they were looking at? I’m just saying they suck for a multitude of reasons with or without analysis.
