I definitely understand your frustration. Colts fans are not whiners, we have been extremely patient. Did we get spoiled with winning during the Peyton Manning era? Of course we did, but there was also a lot of disappointment during those years in the post season. I never felt like Colts had the success that they should have had with so many great teams.
Enter Andrew Luck and again we had some success but more disappointment and the Luck era teams never were quite good enough to get over the hump. They were very good at times, but never what I would consider elite. And now, what are the odds that we land a 3rd elite QB to make another Super Bowl run? Personally, I would love to see a hard nosed, tough, physically dominating Colts defensive team. But we have never really had that here, not sure our management has ever wanted it.
I think Irsay is an offensive minded owner, he likes offenses that score a lot of points, I'm not sure he would encourage his GM to build a defensive minded team. When you don't have an elite franchise QB in my opinion you best option is to load up on defense, Get the best defensive coach you can afford and bring in some really tough, aggressive, strong men with an attitude and become as dominate defensively as possible. Compliment that with an adequate offense, that can control the ball and score 20 points a game and you can win it all.
