Football is the ultimate team sport. The Colts have a talented team. Unfortunately they are not as talented as needed at the most critical spots.

QB: Ryan can win a SB
LT: We don't have one
Pass Rush: Hopeful that Ngakoue, Paye and Dayo improve that
Pass catching playmakers: Pittman and nothing else

Those arr the most important positions on the field.

I never said he was was just a JAG. Nelson is great, I love the guy. But the rest of your post proves my point. We need playmakers and a damn good LT. It's too late to trade him now though since Ballard let Reed and Glo walk away.

I love Pittman, but Ballards failure to put another great wide receiver next to him is going to hurt him. He will get double or even triple coverage since that POS Ballard hasn't done jack shit to help him. I am souring on Ballard big time. Ballard has the money, spend it!

Ran into a guy wearing a Vikings shirt today on the disc golf course. Told him Reed would be solid and thanked him for Rhodes.

It takes a team, thank you captain obvious.

It does make the running work. Since the arrival of Nelson, the Colts can run left anytime they want. You think Taylor would be as effective with a JAG at left guard?

Oh, and maybe you misspoke, but if Ballard got only one first rounder for Q, Ballard would be gone.

Only getting one draft pick for Nelson doesnt solve the problem.

You beat me to it. It's going to be tough for MPJ to wrack up yards when he's double and triple covered since he's the only real receiving threat that we have in the WR/TE group.

Hard to double and triple Pitt with 8/9 in the box, I’m saying he will have a monster year

Until we have a real QB (we have one) who can actually run Reich's game plan we have no idea what kind of receivers we have. I keep thinking about all the open receivers in Kurt Warner's video. If they had been hit and hit in stride like Ryan will would we think that they all sucked? How did they get open if they were shit? I'm just throwing out that maybe Ballard is right and the issue isn't that receivers couldn't get open but that the QB couldn't find them. Bottom line for me is I am not that worried about our offense, run or pass. I think it will be top third of NFL at least. The only place I have worries is LT and I'm hoping that Ballard is a better scout than me or most of my friends on this board.

Captain obvious? OK, SFB's.

My issue is that Ballard is going to have to pay Q a shit ton of money for a left guard. Let me make it clear again, I love the guy! But this team has way too many holes to fill like weapons, secondary and a LT to be paying a guard the kind of money that is getting talked about.

Sure you can. They filled in holes with Reed and Glowinsky. You draft well and fill gaps with guys who are to expensive for their former team. You draft a guy like our RT, Smith, in the second round.

And IF they trade him, they had better get more than 1 first rounder. He is this generations John Hannah.

And btw, the Steelers did pretty good with Villaneuva as a walk on.
