Good thing Colts don’t have a top 5 pick because they would’ve fallen in love with Jalen Milroe

I prove your point by pointing out a true statement? I’m curious why Flacco wasn’t significantly better than him then if he had all those huge advantages? He looked pretty good for Cleveland the prior year.
Top 5 RB that can’t catch, can’t block, and who prioritizes showboating over winning in the biggest game of the year. A GM always planning for next year, until this year where everyone knows he’s finally about to be fired. An elite coach who always likes to make sure the other team scores before half and has no sense of game management. No TE. And a D that makes scrub QBs look like hall of famers and at points couldn’t have stopped Trent Richardson if he came out of retirement. And a fucking loosing culture in the locker room that even a couple vet players called out.
None of that means AR was good last year. You can’t say he regressed because of the sample size his first year. Him not staying healthy is the biggest indictment of him. The rest should not be unexpected. Anyone that didn’t realize he was young, inexperienced, immature, and had bad mechanics is a fucking idiot. Apparently that applies to the Colts organization. They’ve fucked this up about as well as they could have My point is the team never should have drafted him if they weren’t going to give him time to develop. But then Ballard has never had an actual plan.
Sounds like we agree colts management is fucked up
