In addition to the fact that the date of every OP is always shown at the top of the post, I also made it clear in my post that it was 9 months later.

In my rat's ass of an opinion, that is plenty in terms of hints/clues that the thread is not new, and that you don't necessarily have to pore through 5 pages of posts to realize this.

Jack Doyle is 2nd in the NFL for receptions by a tight end. He has 64, while Travis Kelce of the Chiefs has 73.

That's the good news.

The bad news is that the article in which I got that information from has the Colts ranked 30th out of 32 teams in the NFL, ahead of only the Giants and the Browns.

Out of Jack Doyle's 80 receptions this season, 39 of them (49%) have been for either a first down conversion or a touchdown.

And out of those 39, 15 of them (38%) have come on either 3rd or 4th down.



Jack "Clutch" Doyle.

He is pretty much what you want in a solid all-around TE. Versatile enough to contribute to blocking and makes key catches that move the chains.

One of the things I am struck with this season with Brissett is the fact that if Jack Doyle had a bad game the Colts had a bad game.

The Colts had a lot more bad games than Jack Doyle did.

This is probably for the best. Yes, he's a nice player and it's not like this addition by subtraction by any means, and one could certainly argue over whether he'd be more deserving of a long-term contract over Dwayne Allen, but of all the holes this team has, dedicating significant resources to TE, where resources are already dedicated doesn't seem practical. Allen/Swoope would be a TE duo that I'd expect should do well enough, particularly with the amount we've already invested in WR.

The bottom line is, the amount of money that we'd have to offer him right now to convince him to not even test the FA market is more than we should be giving him, period. If he comes back and is willing to sign at a number that makes sense for us (what we're likely offering him now, as Schefter is reporting the Colts have tried to extend him), then wonderful.

I stand by this...

I don't think we can judge Doyle based on one season under a bad staff and a back up QB starting all season

He has had some down games, but still has made some good plays all season and has been pretty reliable.

And Dwayne Allen has done nothing in NE. Even when Gronk has been hurt. Had at least one drop I saw in the Miami game, which has been his problem his whole career.
