So where to start. Andrew Luck set every passing record for a rookie QB. He took a 2-14 team to 11-5 and a playoff berth. He set the record for most fourth quarter/overtime game winning drives in a season by any player(including vet, AS A ROOKIE!!) Did he throw a lot of picks his rookie season? Was his completion percentage not great his rookie season? Sure. But ask yourself how many picks did manning throw his rookie season? Alot more than luck. Luck went from a power run game system where he tore up defenses to a "air raid" arians system with the worst o line in the league. And still he tore defenses up and made incredible plays that not many qbs could do. Now he is back in a system that fits him. He has an improved o line. his completion percentage is 10% better than last year so far. 65% is on par with all the top qbs. Is he tearing ds up and throwin 300+ every game? No because we have the 4th ranked rushing team in the league. He can easily do it but he isnt needed to.

 

Offense-Total Offense Rank (yds/gm): Colts 10,Total Scoring Offense Rank (pts/gm): Colts 8.... reggie wayne will have a bust in canton when all is said and done. Ty Hilton has been more impressive as a third rounder than justin blackmon has as a first rounder. We have the top up and coming set of TE's in the game even tho Allen is out for the season fleener is no chump. DHB has played so much better since he got a change of senary. Trich has been with the team 2 weeks. he is still learning the run blocking system and not to mention he faces stacked boxes whereas dbrowns big run against the jags was against 6 in the box and the rest in coverage. anyone can run on that. The best part about this? The only one retiring anytime soon in reggie. Everyone else is young and willl dominate together.

 

Defense-Total Defense Rank (yds/gm): Colts 8, Total Scoring Defense Rank (pts/gm): Colts 4.... robert mathis is 1 or 2 in the league in sacks this season. Jerrell Freeman was a great find out of the CFL and has played oustanding. Werner was a top five pick until he had a bad combine and was a steal in the end of the first. he has been progressing and got set back by the foot injury. Josh Chapman is doing what he did for alabama on a torn ACL, being the brick wall NT he needs to be. Corey Redding is a great motivator and team leader, also has a knack for batting passes. Two young corners in davis and toler who have both played excellent football and a nickleback in davis who loves to take em to the house on you guys. The starting safety duo of Bethea/Landry is the best in the league(when landry is healthy). Most of everyone i mentioned isnt that old and still has many productive years ahead of them. They are playing at a stellar level right now.

 

In Conclusion- The Colts arent going anywhere. This is our division. We have ruled it since it began and will continue to do so. Bridgewater. Bring him on! Hes played against weak competition and never a down in the NFL yet. Franchise Qbs are not a dime a dozen like stated by another poster. Bridgewater may be one. It sure would be nice to have some competition in the AFCS. To say the colts are trending down is ludacris. We are trending up up and away! Mark my words. We will hoist the Lombardi within the next five years
