From your mouth to whatever particular God's ear.

Looks like AR's shoulder has been deemed ok, and he's throwing again.

What are the odds that AR makes it through training camp without an injury....I'd say they are not too good!

I suspect Jones is already penciled in as the starter, they just can’t say so publicly.

AR appears to have lost some weight since the last time I saw him.

Lighter, and more agile and athletic (I hope.)

As well as conditioning and endurance. Don't know if the article mentioned, but he said he dropped about 10lbs. down to 240lbs.

Pretty sure he'll never even pretend to tap out again, regardless... but the underlying feeling of being gassed in the first place is good to address. You could imagine that fatigue affecting his throwing mechanics.

Think many folks are giving up on AR way too soon (the national media has written his obituary with the Colts). This is what we signed up for when we drafted the man. He wasn't just inexperienced in game play, he didn't grow up in that QB culture most do (summer camps with pros etc). He had/has so much to learn about being a pro QB, plus he has dealing with the psychological/physical affect of injury his first two years (he is only 23 and doesn't have all that much life experience to help him through shit). On a football field he pretty much does everything well except short/intermediate accuracy. To me he has shown a ton to get excited about. He has excellent pocket presence, he processes well, throws a great long ball, runs better than any other QB out there and has shown he isn't afraid of the fourth quarter. It is crazy to think he isn't working on his accuracy and won't improve it. If he does, and it doesn't have to be perfect with all his other attributes, we are set for years. He will win this competition and take a big step this year. Watching a player develop, especially after agonizing through the start of a career, is one of the most satisfying things there is for a fan. There is a damn good chance we get that joy as Colts fans this year. And yes it isn't a sure thing. That is what makes it exciting and so damn satisfying when it happens.

Glad to see not everyone wants to microwave the guy into being great. It takes time. However, he has some elite traits that just cannot be taught, and that is exciting to me. Based on his age, this should be his rookie or second year in the league. He has time to develop, if given that opportunity.
