This feels like the Colts are trying to do what LAR did with Stafford. Except Ryan isn't Stafford and I don't think it's going to work out like that. [Reply]

A little, but just a little.
The Rams were a good team that needed something more than a doorknob at QB, and Stafford is worthy of leading many teams to a championship, except in Detroit where no one is good enough to make them good as a team.
Colts are a borderline elite team who had a walking brainfart at QB, occasionally more promising than than Goff, but more often, and with the kicker of awful timing, a complete disaster. And they just need someone, in the words of Ricky Roma, 'not, to FUCK US UP!!'
In addition, and I'm not saying Ryan will improve here, but he can't be worse, and I'm not saying Wentz will or won't improve in this area, but with the Colts he had some serious 'hello, fellow kids' disastrous sideline chemistry. Like a walking personification of the moment when Ryan Seacrest tried to high five a blind guy.

Even after all the Colts success in the last 20 years, the Chiefs franchise still has a higher win percentage all time.
You act like Chiefs fans have had it worse than anyone and that’s just not true. Not by a long shot.
I agree. But where fate has been cruel to Chiefs fans is the years of being close, but not quite good enough. The Chiefs seemed to find new and unusual ways to lose playoff games every f'ing year. Just when you thought they couldn't possibly come up with anything that would bug you, they'd find an even more painful way to blow it.
2018 was particularly bad bc they finally had the superstar QB and still managed to blow it through a series of narrow calls all going against them, and Dee Ford's offside yanking away a sure win. Though, to tell the truth, we did kinda know that there'd be a lot of deep playoff runs to come. Even so. we still had the ghost of Dan Marino hanging over our heads until Mahomes pulled off the win in 2019. [Reply]

The only thing they were worried about was getting rid of Wentz, and they did alright at that, imo.
I don’t think they’ll get to the super bowl, not from the stacked afc, but I think they’ll compete.
More importantly, this gives them probably 2 more years to position themselves to get a franchise quarterback. Which is all that matters now in the nfl. [Reply]
