Matt Ryan remains the Colts’ starting quarterback.

Colts interim head coach Jeff Saturday confirmed today that Ryan will start for the Colts against the Vikings on Saturday.

After the Colts’ ugly loss last week, Saturday said that everything was on the table, including potentially changing quarterbacks. But no change will happen this week.

The Colts could consider going back to Sam Ehlinger, who started two games this season, or to Nick Foles, the veteran third-stringer, at some point before the season is over. But on Saturday in Minnesota, Ryan will continue to start.

Fine by me. I'm hoping Matt Ryan is able to set both the single season fumble and interceptions record this year. One for the history books. He does need to stay healthy though.

I won't be surprised if he is the starter next season too, at least until our rookie is ready to take the field!

No, we gotta get out from under at least a portion of that contract. Let's see who the new coach is. They might want a veteran that knows the new system.

This mostly confirms I don't think I want Saturday to be our HC next year, he is being too loyal to the Vet when the only thing it benefits is Ryan if he gets injured..

I know I don't. I don't want any former players anywhere near the team. Nothing against them, but we have to stop living in the past. It doesn't work.
Now proceed with the list of players who became good head coaches thirty years ago...
Vrable didn't play for the Titans. Beat you to it.

The contract doesnt matter, its monopoly money. They will find a way to fund what every they need.

The money wont matter to Irsay. If it did, ryan would not be starting. The way the economy is going, Fans should be worrying about their own money, Irsay has more than enough to run the team

No one is worried about how Irsay spends him money. The concern is that if the unguaranteed portion of Ryan's salary goes to him then that $17M becomes a complete waste of 8% of next year's salary cap. I think we'd all like to see if put to better use like fixing the OL or adding some pass rush.
