If someone would want Minshew before the trade deadline and you can get some young DB or decent draft pick for next season, I would do it! It sucks, but this season is lost, a total fucking waste!

Alas, I agree with you 100%. The Colts are not going anywhere this season.

I am not nearly as down on our roster build as some here. As Chrome said, you cannot compete with your 5th and 6th CBs covering their 1st and 2nd WR. That is not a winning combo.

Grover is one of the best run defenders in the league and missing him kills. His fault; he was stupid and he deserves to be punished based on the league rules but his missing presence was felt.

This roster is not nearly as bad as the Saints found holes in them and not nearly as good as some of their best play. But, with a quality QB and healthy? I think this roster can compete with anyone.
