This more than likely will be the end for Steichen & Dipshit Ballard.

Not enough to take the risk. I’d rather keep him into next year and let him battle it out under a new coach and GM. The cynical part of me says it’s an attempt by Ballard and Steichen to get another year. Telling ownership AR was always a long term play and he should sit and watch this year.

It’s likely just me being dumbfounded that they believe they can save their jobs with DJ. Believing AR is a known failure but DJ has some untapped potential is just ludicrous to me.

Shane's press conference was a real cringefest.

If the seat aint hot because of Carly it'll be hot from the fanbase/media.

You reap what you fucking sow.

That is exactly right, this is a decision rooted in being scared shitless.

And it will play out as such as decision. I guarantee right now we will win fewer games this year than last. 7 wins is the ceiling, 5-6 more likely. 0-4 start incoming too.

I think this team will/would fail regardless of which clown won the starting job. I would prefer AR only because his huge ups and his bottomless downs would at least make for better entertainment. And let's face it if you're gonna lose, (and they will lose often) better to go down in a blaze than a whisp of smoke.

I had a feeling this would be the result. I think Steichen is done with AR and has been since last year.

I have my doubts if Jones can last an entire season without being injured. He has had his fair share of injuries over the years - torn ACL, a couple of neck injuries, various hamstring and ankle injuries, etc.

I would bet that someone else will start games at QB1 for the Colts this year besides Jones.

The less they win, the better. I’d rather they win 2 games than 8 again.

At least then, they’d have their pick of quarterbacks.

But that’s not going to happen. They’ll win 6-9 games, miss the playoffs again, and we’ll be right back here in this same situation next season.

It’s just SO frustrating.

I wonder what role, if any, Jim’s death played into this.

I know Jim was a big believer in AR. I’m guessing Carlie isn’t as much.

Step 1 in mimicking Vikings reddit for the past year is going well. Suicide watch was pretty heavy for them in August, too.
