Now, hear me out. I believe he is probably a better option than Pryor. However, if the COLTS thought that, then he should have gotten a hell of a lot more than 5% of the snaps heading into the 1st game IF they planned on giving him snaps- AT ALL (throwing injury causation out the window- this was a choice).

Who is in charge of this clown show of a team- rotating your LT for an old statue of a QB in his very first professional game?

And please, save me from the "well that's a personnel coaches move not Frank's". I am so sick and tired of this excuse. It was used all last year with Wentz and his penchant to check out of calls Frank made- not Frank's fault that the QB keeps changing plays===== MY ASS IT IS NOT! Frank is the big dog, shit doesn't go down without his nod of approval. So IF you absolve Frank of this lunacy with Rainman because of the OL coaches decision, then it's an even great indictment of the guy and yet another red flag that he has no concept of what is happening out there during the games, during the film study, during the game planning, nothing. If so, then what the fuck good is he?

Of course if he is part of the consultation that sits down and plans to do this with a rookie LT, well then again, Fuck Frank Reich. My guess is it is this scenario and he sat down with the analytical guys and said "build me a model on the optimal stats for Rainman to work with the 1st team... oh and can you put it on a neat laminate that I can stare at in awe... thanks"

there was no real competition with pinter either. those dudes aren't good enough to just be handed starting spots
