The Colts are 100% behind Wentz. WE were 100% behind Wentz.................. until Howie failed to give him the tools, plus all the injuries we suffered through.Even with Lane out this is a MUCH better O line than Wentz had last year with MUCH better WR's. Howie needed some scapegoats for his own failures and we had 2 in Ped and Wentz. Maybe someday we will hire a coach with PRO experience???? But see, Howie would have to PAY THAT person and he's too freakin CHEAP. Since AR left,name me one coach we had that came in with years of service and experience under his belt(I'll wait). Nah,never mind because that would make sense and Lurie either doesn't see it or doesn't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That had to knock some of his Primma Donna ego into whack. Let the scapegoating BEGIN.That's exactly what happened. Howie wants to keep his high paying cush job, isn't that pretty plain? He will sacrifice anyone he hired to keep himself looking good and Lurie for all his intelligence is too stupid to see where the bottleneck is(I did this for a living and I am not even on the inside but I can see this from here). You don't build an organization by hiring the janitor first. For all we know, Siri may want to put Stache in and run the ball and Howie won't allow him, because Hurts was Howie's golden draft pick right? Joe is right, until this is complete and total failure Lurie won't see the issue is literally right under him(aka Howie). Joe is also correct in saying it's not enough to just be bad, this needs to be EPIC failure to where there are no scapegoats left for Howie to sacrifice(because now this is all on Howie). Joe has the patience for this, much more than I do. I thought we could stay competitive after the SB year. So Wentz got his SB ring and moved on to Indy where he comes in behind other QB's they have gotten like Manning and Rivers. Except Wentz is young and they will have him a long time which was why they drafted Luck,except he decided to quit on them,but they make intelligent moves, unlike here. So yeah let Hurts play until the failure is so epic,Lurie finally comes out of his coma. With more experience from Hurts, I totally expect to become a .500 club once again!!!

Probably why they voted him team captain. I will also stick my neck out and say Wentz's MOM has NOT called Isray yet 🤣. IDK do other players mothers call the org and tell them how to run their team? LMAO. Maybe we should have hired her as HC because I'm sure she wouldn't take any crap from Howie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bad team with a QB that is nowhere near good enough to make up for a lack of talent. I have to agree with some others here that mentioned Hurts is hurting (pun intended) the development of the young skill position players. And the defense. Sigh. It feels like they KNOW Hurts and the offense suck so what’s the point. Of course Im not there so I have no idea; just my perception. unfortunately, there does not seem to be any cant miss player in this upcoming draft. By the way, the onside kick says, "we arent as good, so we have to do something.” I didn’t disapprove of the decision. It didnt work but at least you tried. Only works if we draft well. To do that we need to fire HR. That is not going to happen. We are going to stay in this rut for the near future. Until Lurie comes to his senses, we will be the NY Jets West...

We are going to stay in this rut for the near future. Until Lurie comes to his senses, we will be the NY Jets West... Really weak draft coming. After mid round 2 the talent drops off a cliff. It's an OK draft for lineman(until mid 2) WR's Other than the first 3/4 nothing to get excited about. The pair from OSU are the best 2(much like Bama had last year) A nice T in Evan Neal, he would be my target pick to replace Lane(IDK how long Lane will be here). maybe 2/3 decent secondary players a few WR's of note,but nothing to get excited about. Besides Neal there IS a nice LB. SO between those 2 would be my first choice pick. We dont need to even look at RB's since we don't use the ones we have to this point. I like the QB from Cincy(Ridder) if we're going to stay with this RPO offense although once again,there is no reason to reach for him. So we have 5 picks in 2 rounds(so far) and in my view at minimum 3 should be on defense. If we dont get neal there is aG I like that could also help us. but this draft is nothing like last years stud class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK that Lurie is a football guy. I think Lurie believes Howie is and there in lies the main issue. Lurie does country club toasts, owner parties and elbow rubbing and he counts on Howie to do the lifting. Some of Howies last picks are better than usual, but there is no development once again. When Howie was in danger of losing his job he THEN "took a year off to learn to be a football guy" That's FINE if you are the contract guy,but falls SHORT of a guy that's been in the biz for 10 years. But Howie has Lurie snowed in. The failed try to make Chip "coach AND GM" only served to make Lurie gunshy of doing it again(only the right way this time). And so we wallow in our own stupidity and lack of Lurie knowing where the real problem is. We have created our own swamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siri-not going to develop WR's with this offensive structure and a noddle arm QB(there is little wrong with the WR's) Gannon- just another scapegaot. We put him in the same position we did Schwartz.
