Quote:First off, Indy already had success with Luck.  They have made the playoffs several times under him.

 

Secondly, if they really didn't believe OL was the issue, why would they invest 4 draft picks in one draft, including the first round pick, on offensive linemen?  If they thought Luck himself was the issue, why wouldn't they have drafted competition for him?  They were in position to draft Paxton Lynch, Connor Cook, and any other QB not named Goff and Wentz.  But they didn't.

 

It's good that Bortles performed well under adversity.  But if we want him to develop into the QB we hope he can be, we have to  minimize the adversity he is facing.

 

We've got to build the OL.

 

I would say the main reason the Colts made the playoffs is because of the absolutely sorry state that the AFC south has been in lately. They had really no competition whatsoever, basically handed the division title on a silver platter every year.

 

But yeah, we do need to get more help on the offensive line. I like what we have done this offseason for the defense, but we are banking on guys that are pretty much unproven and/or coming off injuries to help out on the offensive line. We need to get some continuity on the offensive line for Bortles so he can continue to progress. I don't have the answer as to how to do that, but its something we need.
