QB health is not a unique problem to the Colts, a huge majority of the league has issues. The league keeps extending the season and they wonder why they have a QB health problem. Kind of how they change the practice times and put caps on them and wonder why they aren’t developing players as much as they did 20 years ago. But I do want a GM that emphasizes oline quality if I have a choice especially now.
I understand why they went with uncle Phil, I doubt AR could even see well. I will say uncle Phil damn almost beat the superbowl champs and played better than a lot of the other QBs I saw in the playoffs against them.
By the way, that was a beautiful block on Hamilton.

There are three opening day starters this year that were on their current roster when Luck retired. That is the issue with the QB argument for Ballard - pretending needing to find a QB is unique to Ballard. It’s not. He chose the build the team and rotate thru cast off method the team has used. Even if you Believe it was Irsay that forced them to start AR, Ballard chose the roster that didn’t provide him a mentor. Again matching his stated philosophy that his coaches are the mentors not veteran players. I wonder why the team always seems to have a culture issue?
