Sadly, I think a lot read him, and then parrot the drivel on social media. Or he just sees their drivel and panders to them.

I quit reading when Doyel started bitching again about AR missing the one day of practice. Someone needs to clue him in on the reality that this season's success won't be based on wins but on how well AR develops, and that development is a marathon not a sprint which is likely to take multiple seasons. Missing 1 practice and ~one quarters worth of preseason snaps playing with backups isn't going to really make any difference in that marathon.

He also needs to make his mind up on JT. At the start of camp he was all over JT and his dipshit new agent for how they were acting. Now he's bitching that the Colts haven't signed him to a big extension and not playing him in a preseason game that he wouldn't have played in anyway. Complete hack of a "journalist".

"Provocateur", really. Only aim is to incite a reaction and get clicks. Apparently he does that.

I don't know his history, but I notice a lot of journalists don't actually care much about their field. I've seen enough of them bounce around from politics to sports to Hollywood TMZ type stuff to whatever...

Some actually love it. For some, it's just a gig.

I didn't even read it. Scrolled because freaks know.

If I drove 80 miles, paid for parking, bought dinner in the stadium or a restaurant, I would have been disappointed, I suppose the younger fans even more not to see AR take some snaps. Disappointing fans is a poor business plan.

I will never bother with preseason games or camp ever again. I understand why they didnt play him, its their team. They could have been more forth coming about their plans. Disappointing young fans is a poor way to keep a fan base, and shelling out regular game prices for a glorified practice and not playing the starters for one series doesnt inspire trust with paying customers

I can see that. But pre-season you are taking your chances especially when one of the games is for evaluating backups because cut-downs are about to occur.

But if AR doesn’t work out, they can point to NasalGate as the reason. That missed day of practice.

Yeah that's the piece that is so disappointing- the lack of transparency. In the big scheme of his development, which is the alleged basis of this piece, this shit is meaningless. The not being straight with the consuming fanbase, sort of selling hope on a lot of fronts that isn't warranted, that is sort of something this front office has been very very bad about for a long time now.
