Quote:I think the Colts would be in trouble if the Jags/Titans/Texans hadn't been in so much trouble recently.  All three have fired their coaches within the past year or so.  None have a decent QB situation.  It's kind of like the Patriots situation.  None of their divisional opponents has their [BAD WORD REMOVED] together.  

 

Andrew Luck is a really talented QB.  But he's not Peyton Manning.  I don't think he'll drag the team kicking and screaming into the playoffs each year if the team doesn't build right. I think Irsay knows that.  The T-Rich trade is a strike against Grigson.  He's going to have a tough job this year because of it.  I wouldn't say Grigson was the worst GM in 2013.  And he's certainly not Gene Smith tier.  But I would say that he's got more work ahead of him than some colts fans want to admit.  

 

Let's not get ahead of ourselves on the Gene Smith tier part. I think even Gene Smith could have made the Andrew Luck pick. It was quite literally a no brainer for a team without a starting QB to select the best prospect in the last few years.

 

Like you said, right now Luck is making everything smell like roses in a division that's piled high in manure, but that may not always be the case.
