You have to play Luck if he's healthy. I thought the initial prognosis on Kelly's injury was 6-8 weeks from mid-August, so that could be next or the week after.

I will lose a good deal of interest for this team if I think they are intentionally tanking. That in addition to the respect I've lost for this for irrationally sticking with Grigson, and stunningly irrationally sticking with Pags.

Lopresti mentions that the colts are 0-2 for three straight seasons for the first time since Andrew Luck turned two (1991).

This stretch reminds me of the Dowhower, Meyer, Venturi years....

0-2 doesn't bother me as much this year because I fully expected it. I say they'll start 1-4 after which Pags is FINALLY fired.

At least, I hope so.

It's just so frustrating that EVERYONE on Gods green earth can see how bad he is except the one guy who matters.

I do not know why we cannot move AC to right tackle now to see if he can play the position. He is terrible at LT so a replacement can only be as bad.

If AC cannot play Right Tackle when we will needs to move on.

If luck plays this year behind our current OL then he will be having a new surgery this off season.
You think AC is terrible at LT but want another dude in the team to play it? You don't think it can get worse? Probably half the league has an as bad or worse LT than AC. Yet you think we have an upgrade on he roster?

There is zero logic in your thinking

Funny thing is that if they won yesterday, they reasonably may have been able to pull off 3-2 with Luck coming back for Week 6. But going back to the point of the OP, I think it's rationale to think that the Colts will be in a better position to develop into a contender if they lose a high share of games just like yesterday's.

I do not think that there is not an "upgrade" on the roster. However I know that AC cannot continue to play LT as he is really bad and has been bad for several seasons. He is paid a lot of money. The Colts need to find out if he can play RT or would he be just as bad.

I would start Clark at LT and move AC to RT. If Clark does worse then I have to put AC back at LT. If he is the same then I leave that line-up in place.

However the colts will not know until they try. Presently AC give the QB almost no time to throw. Even then "blocking" he gets pushed back into the QB.

To be fair, are those half the league at LT costing their teams a $13M cap hit?

I don't know. Probably not. But with 17 mil in cap space I don't care. We aren't hurting for money.

I am all for replacing him but I want someone better before we move from him. That is a spot I don't want a step back.

Clark couldn't even win the RT job and you want to hand him LT?
