Colts big cap hits in 2023

We were spoiled with back to back generational quarterbacks. Plenty of super bowls have been won with QB's who don't beat their own team. If we don't address the offensive line it won't matter who is taking the snaps, they will get beaten to a pulp.

Back to back generational QB's and only 2 Superbowl appearances, with 1 win !! It might be time for Irsay to start getting some blame for how this team has been constructed. Maybe Jim is not the knowledgeable owner that people think he is. I don't remember Jim saying anything when Polian told Dungy to rest players with the possibility of a perfect season, or now, not putting his foot down and letting Ballard and Reich take his team down the road of mediocrity, while telling the Washington what to do with they're owner. Think about it, Jones, Manning and Luck, 1 Superbowl win. It might be time for an ownership change.

I couldn’t agree more. Nice human being but a shitty owner, if what you want in an owner is to win. There will be no ownership change however. Jim has done nothing so bad that he would be forced out and this football stuff is Jim’s life.

If your right, and you probably are, too bad for the fans because Jim won't do whats necessary, and IMHO, thats getting rid of Reich, and probably Ballard too !!

The Colts were good for one year out of the first fifteen years they were in Indianapolis. They were a laughingstock the rest of the time. Stop saying that fans were/are spoiled. It's nonsense, and it only serves to lower the bar even further than it is now. Maybe you're too young to remember those years. I remember them. Spoiled my ass.

You must be talking about the 1995 Colts with Harbaugh as the QB. I still think that team was cheated in the Pittsburgh game and should have gone to the Super Bowl!

I have been a fan since 1978 before they even moved here. So yea, I am old enough to remember. It still does not change the facts we had two generational quarterbacks, back to back. The suck years are irrelevant. Before that we had Unitas and Jones. The injury bug bit Jones, but early in his career he was a great QB.

Right. You've seen a lot of bad Colts football. Stop saying that fans have been spoiled. It's very counterproductive.

More than should be allowed by law. lol. I was not denying they sucked for over a decade when they arrived, but I am also glad I got to see Jones, Peyton and Luck, for however brief it was. It makes the bad years a little more tolerable in my memory bank.
