Feeling good

He's in year #3 and he's shown very limited improvement in the games he's actually been able to play and not been out injured. He's fast and has an arm cannon, but he's made of glass, can't read a defense, and is far from accurate. Saying that isn't "hate". The world isn't black and white. I wanted AR to start over Jones prior to training camp. Daniel Jones has shown to be a pretty good QB so far this season. AR isn't. Throwing a ball that gets tipped at the line and then he runs up and catches his own pass is amusing...and athletic. That's great, but I want to win games. His only other throw was nowhere near a receiver. I've seen enough of that.
Since you mentioned trade value: I have a friend who is a Ravens fan. I offered to trade AR for the Ravens starting kicker (whoever that is) straight up. She laughed, said no, and told me that Justin Tucker was available. That's AR's current trade value.

I pretty much agree with everything you say. I just think a 23 year old kid can learn and improve. As a human AR seems great, I haven't heard any bitching or whining, he seems to be a team player. To me he is a physically talented young player that hopefully is finally in a place that he can learn. If he does it would change his trade value and his value to us. I am not saying he is there at all, or that he should get more playing time, just that he has had a pretty shitty first three years that are not all on him.

He didn't have a great arm but it was plenty good enough. They got a lead and ran you into the ground. The defense was starless (no-name) but effective. I know they are totally different teams but man they have the same feel for me.

Steichen seems to have found his groove as a head coach. The team finally has some discipline-a difficult thing with this age of prima donnas. It has to help that we finally seem to have some veteran leadership (Jones sets a great example, Ward is a hard ass at CB and Nelson has stepped up with the loss of Kelly according to reports) within the ranks. Add to this how he has handled Mitchell (consequences for being a fucktard. Let's hope Mitchell learns and all this is part of the growing process) When Bachie screwed up he was out of the game it seem to be a trend that the Colts won't stand for this crap. Like all organizations it has to start at the top with Carlie-we may have gotten lucky here.

I'm still feeling good about this 2025 Colts team, despite their clunker today against the Steelers.
