Be careful what you wished for Colts fans…here comes Jordan Love or Mitch Trubisky.
Maybe Tyler Huntley?
or Jimmy Garoppolo
Trade Taylor, trade Nelson, and lean into tank mode to get even more picks.
There is no way the Colts are close enough to contend in a conference with the Bills, the Chiefs, or the Bengals. They don’t have a good enough line, a good enough QB, nor good enough receivers.
I love the “this experience makes me even more determined…” Guess they were just half-assing it before.
This is probably about as good as an outcome for the Colts as possible. The fact Ballard gave up a 1st and 3rd for a player nobody else wanted and would have been cut from Philly is pathetic. There has to be a lot more behind the scenes with this guy though… He had very little to no practice time in the spring of 21 with new teammates, missed most of training camp with injuries, had no top receiver threats and still had a decent year numbers wise. Interesting to see who’s next in line though!
The Carson Wentz experiment/failure falls primarily on Frank Reich’s shoulders. I still think he’s a decent coach, but he allowed his emotions to blind him when looking at Carson Wentz. If you watched any of the Hard Knocks series on HBO, you know he was enamored that they happened to share a favorite Bible verse. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s a poor basis for picking the most important player on your team. In the end, Wentz’s poor leadership skills may have as much to do with his departure as his performance or lack thereof on the field.
Bet they do not end up with anyone better than he is. He had a pretty good year but is being judged on the last 2 games alone. I would think that if they had an opportunity to get a quality QB, they would be justified in trading him but without that option then maybe this is not the best way to go. Reich is a good coach and if they won that last game he would not be criticized by fickle fans.
It is very hard to win in the NFL and who knows if they are taking a step backwards or going forward? NOBODY – Only time will tell.

Good to see that Irsay wasn’t happy with Wentz’ decision to be unvaccinated. It’s one thing for a tennis player to make such a foolish choice, but something else entirely different for the quarterback who is the leader of a team to put his own welfare ahead of the needs of his fellow players. And before anyone jumps to the conclusion that his vaccination status was irrelevant, just remember that an infected Wentz was not able to practice for the entire week before the NFL shortened the time needed for isolation of such players only to returned for a game which the Colts lost. If Wentz didn’t want to be vaccinated, he should have informed the owner of that at the beginning of the season and removed himself from the team. It’s just that simple.
Don’t ever come back!!!! Frank and Ballard next!!!!!
What the city needs to move on from is out alcoholic Mayor.
Yes, because Republicans have a better alternative lined up named….. ?
