Luck, although a lot nicer about it and more political was much the same, as was Rivers. There is not one leader of men on this entire team.

What identity does the current version of the Colts have? Nothing, because they stand for nothing and are nothing in the eyes of the NFL. Only transcendent players can change that.

Maybe there is a transcendent coach out there that can, but I can't name him.

I wish that I could thank this post twice ...... it deserves it.

The Colts were always a bona-fide contender when Manning played for them, when Luck played for them, and even when a 39 year-old Philip Rivers played for them.
