From what I’ve read, the unexpected retirement of Luck started the downward spiral of retread QBs for Reich in Indy and, as stated earlier, the Colts never seemed interested in developing a future franchise play caller.  Based on this and where the team was roster-wise, you could make an argument that Irsay and FO felt they were a veteran QB away from being contenders. They weren’t in a position to really draft one as a middle of the pack team, thus the carousel of Rivers, Wentz and Ryan. Unfortunately these weren’t long term solutions and two of the experiments went terribly wrong. Hoping things will be different this go-round.

I think I'd rather just trade up for 5 and get whatever is left between Stroud/Levis than have to pay everything it would take to get to 1.  Also I wonder if he can get Sam Darnold to look better than he did this year towards the end on a 1 year deal as we build out the roster to make a run in 2024 keeping all of our picks.

Fwiw, there are a couple the could have drafted, Jalen hurts and Lamar Jackson. Had they done so, Reich might still be a Colt. Of course, that is hindsight.  But sometimes it pays to take a chance on those lesser regarded QBs

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
