Taylor vs Broncos: 20-for 107, with the criticaly most retarded fumble in NFL history...which totally changed the momentum of the game.

Taylor vs Giants: Do people realize that made 4 embarrassing mistakes in last weeks game alone?

1. Forgot the play and forgot the ball when Flacco tried to hand off.
2. Forgot to turn around for the ball and the pass hits him in the helmet.
3. Ran out of bounds (untouched) 1 yd short of the first down on 3rd down.
4. dropped a simple lateral from 2 yds. away on the 2-point conversion.

I think it would be more accurate to say that Taylor prevented the embarrassment of this team being in the playoffs.

Give Taylor a halfway competent QB that doesn’t make dumbass turnovers and the Colts can beat anyone. The team goes as Taylor goes, he makes ARs job even easier or whoever the QB is gonna be. Complete the short passes, utilize play action, control the clock, most importantly don’t turn the fuckin ball over.

That was a fucking TD

Edge or even Addai do not do anything so stupid. If we deem JT's situational awareness as acceptable, then my god, what low standards we now have!

Let’s pickup the subject that you seem not interested in ...... Bert Jones and Terry Bradshaw.

As I stated earlier, both Jones and Bradshaw were awful in the first 2 years ...... in fact, Bradshaw was bad for FOUR years between 1970 and 1973. In fact, he was bad enough that Chuck Noll started Joe Gilliam in the first 6 games of the 1974 season after Gilliam played better than Bradshaw in the pre-season. Even though Gilliam didn't play that badly, Noll had an instinct that Bradshaw was his man for the long-term, so he reinstated him as the starting QB in the 7th game of the 14-game season. In the first Super Bowl that the Steelers won, Bradshaw was not a factor, as it was all Franco Harris and the Steelers' defense that carried the day to beat the Vikings. But in the next 3 Super Bowls (1975, 1978, and 1979) Bradshaw shined, especially in the final 2 Super Bowls in which he won back-to-back MVP's.

So ...... how many Steelers fans were screaming to "throw in the damned towel" in regard to getting rid of Terr Bradshaw in those first 5 seasons between 1970 and 1974 ??? A lot. In fact, most of them. The fans didn't get their way, Noll made what HE THOUGHT were the right moves, and the rest is history.

Bert Jones had a similar story to Bradshaw with a an awful start to his career, except that he only had 2 very bad season in 1973 and 1974 before he started to shine in 1975, and then won the MVP of the league in 1976.



Ted Marchibroda didn't throw the towel in on Bert Jones after 2 bad seasons. Colts fans are glad that he didn't.

Chuck Noll didn't throw the towel in on Terry Bradshaw after 4 and-a-half bad seasons. All of the Steelers fans that were screaming for Bradshaw's head were glad that he didn't.

You want to throw the towel in on Anthony Richardson after his first full season in the NFL ...... I'm glad that you aren't making that decision.

It’s hard to talk about guys I wasn’t alive when they were playing but I’ll do some homework and get back to you

Ok right off the bat, Bradshaw was considered the best QB coming out of high school that year. He played 4 years of college football only started 2 and had 6 thousand passing yards. *Started every game * his junior and senior seasons. Your comparison ends there for me.

Richardson keeps getting a pass because of his age, Will Levis is in the exact same position and Titans are done with him. How long did the Steelers give Kenny Pickett?

Edge and Addai played with the greatest QB of all time. Edge was great at everything a true every down workhorse. However he was never asked to single handedly win games without a passing threat. What Taylor has done in his career here without a QB is crazy.

Exact same position? Levi’s is 3 years older, started twice as many games in college, was a 2nd round pick, and the titans have the #1 pick this year. There is damn near nothing similar.

Picket was also 3 years older when drafted, started almost 4 times as many games in college, and started 9 more games for Steelers than AR has for the Colts.

There is a pretty good argument that AR shouldn’t have even seen the field yet. The fact so many are already ready to move on from him shows how colossally Ballard has fucked this team up. You don’t draft a guy so young, so immature, and so raw at 4 and fucking bail this quickly. They’ve done absolutely nothing to support or develop him. Nothing.

Only given him a top 5 oline, RB, and offensive minded coach. You made my point he continues to get a pass because he’s so “young”. He regressed terribly and that’s on him. So what you’re telling me is a guy is better off playing 1 shitty season in college padding his stats when his teams getting blowout most of the time then train for the combine like crazy put up a fast 40 and as long as your 20 the team should give you atleast 3-4 years no matter how terrible you are.

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

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.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.
