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.

I like Jonathan Taylor, but his dropping the ball at the goal-line was the most infuriating single Colts play of the 2024 season for me. In fact, it's probably the single most infuriating Colts play since the fake-punt against the Patriots back in 2015 ...... that play is so infamous that it has its own Wikipedia page, and is known as
The Colts Catastrophe.

I think that the ball barely crossed the plane of the goal-line before Taylor dropped it, but that isn't the point ...... players who have been eating, breathing, and sleeping football since they were in 5th grade are doing this shit at the highest level of the sport, and they deserve to ravaged about it for not learning from the more than one hundred times that it's happened since around the mid-1990's in both college and pro football. It probably happened a lot before then, but the refs didn't start calling it and reviewing it on a regular basis via a replay until about 25 or 30 years ago.
