Spike isn't going anywhere, he's just frustrated. However, I'll say what I think: I think the Colts are heading back to 1990. I hate saying that, but I'm honest. Lord help our Colts...
I think it's gonna take years

I'll second that thought, this team needs a lot more than a franchise QB, and anybody who thinks differently is fooling themselves.

Never said he was leaving I just said to keep posting what he wants lol.

As for heading back to the 1990 ? I dont think so. It's a different NFL and that was still Bob Irsay team. The long stretch from 1983-1997 was Bob... when it transitioned to Jim things changed because he wanted to win where as Bob obviously disnt.

As long as you have an owner that will make changes and a salary cap that exists a team can become relevant again quickly if done right.

This team showed signs even with a bad QB. Injuries hurt this team a lot this season.

With the right QB. Pass rushers and ramp up the receiving Corp.

Every year teams jump back up from the dead that you dont expect. Can happen for the Colts too.

Now I will stick with that it will not happen with Brissett.

With a franchise QB (Luck, Manning) this team would have won at least 12 games. Your fooling yourself.

You think we still lose all those close games to the Chargers, Raiders, Dolphins, Steelers etc if Luck was playing.?

Overblown. The Aints were playing with confidence from the start and it ran deep. Sure we sucked, but not as badly as you all make it out to be. Yes, we need a new qb, but this team has potential.

We had the 5th ranked offense with Luck last season and Luck had the same weapons. Hell Luck didnt have Doyle.

This year with Brissett 19th ranked offense.

Yeah, I’m afraid we’re stuck for awhile. Unless Ballard pulls a rabbit out of his hat to get a top QB.

Maybe, who knows, I don’t think you can predict “what if’s”. The fact remains, he didn’t and now you have to find his replacement and Brissett will most probably be the QB next year.

Yeah, people seem to forget the fact that emotions and momentum make a huge difference in football.

Not to mention that we will have a third place schedule, giving us two easier games, and the divisions we play next year may not be as stout as the ones from this year.
