It’s not hard to project how the Colts could improve from last year’s 4-12 record. All Indianapolis needs is a healthy Andrew Luck to rocket up the standings.

Early indications about Luck’s recovery from shoulder surgery have been encouraging. It’s worth noting he still hasn’t thrown a ball yet, but his presence around the team has the Colts optimistic. Team officials insist he will be ready to go for Week One.

This is a team that lost 6 games by 7 points or fewer and another 3 games by greater than 7 points after they led at halftime. Almost all of that can be tied to poor second half QB play. While I respect the effort Brissett made last year, he clearly displayed that, at least for now, he's a backup QB. Having a healthy Luck in those situations will likely lead to a lot more wins, especially given his career 26-11 (including playoffs) mark in games decided by 7 points or fewer.
