Colts either need to draft a QB or if Lamar hits the market, give him a deal bigger than the one the Browns gave the rapist.

The funniest part of this somehow is still that their immediate next game/first under him is against McDaniels and Carr, so he can very easily still start undefeated

ShakeZula posted:Yeah Irsay is very much the type of owner who likes to put his football guys in place and let them do their thing. He's getting involved now because 5 years of Ballard and 4 1/2 years of Reich has put the team farther away from a championship than they've ever been, so he's going to blow it up and get some new football guys. This string of meddling goes back to the end of last season, though. And demanding things like "bench your starter, show me what the third string QB's got" are extremely officious moves.

End of last season referring to what, the decision to get rid of Wentz? Irsay was definitely very excited to do that but I also think Ballard would've gotten rid of him on his own anyway, he was always very wishy-washy toward the acquisition (painting it as Reich's baby, essentially) and visibly frustrated with Wentz' play whenever he spoke to the media. Swapping Wentz for Ryan would've been Ballard's move either way, especially after the collapse in the final two games. As for the switch to Sam, that definitely came from Irsay, but I think it was framed more as a way for Reich to potentially save his job. Sort of a "if you can't get your OL to actually block, put the mobile QB in and see if you can make something happen." Turns out, he couldn't. At any rate, with Irsay you basically get 5 years as a GM to build your vision, and during that time he won't put any restrictions on you and will happily cut any check you ask for. But at the end of that time you've got to have something to show him. If not, that trust is gone and he gets more hands-on, usually as a prelude to firing everybody.

It would have been so much better for the Colts if they could have convinced Rivers to come back instead of just coaching his kid's hs football team. Although...haha maybe Rivers just wants to get a future HC job with the Colts. The catastrophe of that Oline though. In 2018 the Colts were able to stabilize that line with additions like Quentin Nelson and Braden Smith. In 2019 and 2020 they were really good. In 2021 they struggling to pass protect but could run block and this year they can't block whatsoever. Obviously Matt Ryan being old and lovely can't help but the regression is insane and there no way just having Matt Ryan makes the line that bad.

They gave him up before Ryan was even available. It was a really brash decision (even though no one likes Wentz and he sucks) to so aggressively ship your starting QB out of town without any real plan to replace him. That's not the act of a professional GM; that's the act of a guy who would hire an ESPN commentator as a head coach. And I'm just going off of what Keefer has said/written, but the move to bench Ryan for Ehlinger was really unpopular in the Colts locker room. I don't know how you can spin all of these erratic moves as "Irsay has been really hands off!"

That's not the act of a professional GM; that's the act of a guy who would hire an ESPN commentator as a head coach. I'm not arguing that Irsay is currently being very hands-off, I'm talking about the previous 5 years of Ballard's tenure, and the first several years of Grigson's tenure before it. The point is that his current behavior is atypical of his usual style, but typical of when he's about to make a change. I think the most likely scenario at this point is that Ballard gets fired at the end of the year, a new GM is hired and picks his own HC, and Irsay goes back to running Twitter giveaways and being a cheerleader for the team while letting his new GM do his thing.

I will never understand taking out Henry on 3rd and short to let your loving backup RB go up the middle and come up short. Stop loving galaxy braining your team to death, Todd, you loving jerk.

A reminder that the Colts literally hired McDaniels only for him to back out at the last minute. Now a guy who never coached above high school before is currently kicking his rear end.

What did I miss in Indy where Ryan is back in as starting QB? Is it a Jeff Saturday mutiny and some kind of gently caress you to Irsay because I thought the owner wanted Ellinger playing?

BiggerBoat posted:What did I miss in Indy where Ryan is back in as starting QB? Is it a Jeff Saturday mutiny and some kind of gently caress you to Irsay because I thought the owner wanted Ellinger playing? In his introductory press conference Saturday said Ehlinger would start, but that softened over the course of the week into "it's an open competition," and then Ryan was getting first-team reps in practice and is starting. The Colts beat writers are choosing to believe that Irsay forced Reich to play Ehlinger and is letting Saturday do whatever he wants, but I think the more likely scenario is that Ryan was hurt and Reich was trying to spark the offense by going to Ehlinger. Now that Ryan is healthy, he's starting again, which I think probably would've eventually happened under Reich as well.

It might have been, and the Indy media is certainly convinced that it was (though all their reporting about it has been innuendo and suggestion), but if that's true then you have to assume that Irsay was deliberately sabotaging Reich for some reason given that Ryan is starting again.
