Please burn this shit down!

[ChoppedWood]

Been doing this shit for decades, been on this train / bus for as long as I have memories. I cannot tolerate this shit any longer. We have had some teams that were considerably worse, some teams that you knew going in, they were going to get smoked. Yet we have never as long as I have been a fan of this organization been this uninspiring, it needs to be put to rest.

CHANGES ARE MANDATORY! Give us something to fucking care about, give us some coaches that we can get behind, give us some players that give a fuck, give us a GM who actually understands football.

THIS SUCKS, THIS SUCKS MORE THAN AT ANY POINT IN COLTS HISTORY! CHANGES HAVE TO BE MADE!

I agree in a general sense, but they don't have a lot of assets to burn everything completely to the ground.

They should just start the purge. Fire Ballard, Steichen, Lou right now- there is ZERO advantage to keeping any of the three any longer than 6 PM this evening- we are a lame duck org at this point, it's not like we need to hold on to some false hope that we can be something yet this year- we can't and ignoring that as a leader / owner is dumb.

This week before the deadline move anyone and everyone that you can short of Downs, Warren, Haulcy and of course Pierece (who if he wasn't injured- move him as well). Just go all the way to the ashes and start from there. Get a whole new GM and coaching tandem, a ton of fresh young players, and just start building from the ground up. Our negotiating power is weak, but it isn't nil, Q, TJ, Buck can get some return, Latu isn't great but he's a 1st round pass rusher. Fuck a couple teams would probably even be willing to give us a candy bar for Dimes.

Just make the moves and start stockpilng picks, we have to add young assets and build from them, what we have now is a mismatched mess of shit and there is absolutely zero directional momentum- GET THIS SHIT OVERWITH!

Start with the goal in mind- the # 1 pick in 2028 draft and getting a fucking QB.

STOP DOING THIS SAME SHIT--- IT SERVES NO PURPOSE AND THE FANBASE IS ABANDONING THIS SHIT!

I would take the rest of the season to see what we have in AR.

Chop, I agree in large part but I guess I’m a bit more forgiving than you. Firing the front office and coaches so quickly might be a rash decision. I’d let them stick around till at least 6:30.

I appreciate your rational approach, good to have a counter balance in moments of anxiety that can often cause knee jerk reactions!

We are bad but this isn't close to the worst point in Colts history. And don't start with the goal of being the worst team in football, hire people who only think about winning and would vomit rather than play for the number one draft choice, This team has some decent players. Team needs direction and leadership, we don't seem to have either. I would like Shane to be aggressive and see if AR can do anything (it would be a minor miracle if a high draft choice was ever developed on this club-this group is proven incapable to the max at that) but i believe Steichen is incapable of that kind of ballsy move. We will suffer through this year and hopefully the next regime will be better. This should have been done last year, not monday morning QBing either, a ton of us saw this coming when they decided to roll with DJ and Ballard/Steichen again. I feel for you Chopped, I'm just emotionally wrung dry by the repeated same story over and over and over, and cant muster up the anger.

Yea this the main thing I agree with.
I don't see an advantage to firing all the coaches or GM mid-season. That just creates a shitshow ala Jeff Saturday.

I can't get behind DJ being a franchise QB. AR can only get better by playing and so either he can be the QB of the future or we're going to need to draft someone. I'm afraid though that without a top pick, we'll be left with rolling with AR/DJ one more year or picking up Kirk Cousins or Matthew Stafford instead.

perhaps fortunately, there are no NFL quality QBs coming out of college this year.

[Hoopsdoc]

Changes should and will be made but they should be made after the season.

Carlie needs to ask every potential GM hire one question-how are you going to get a franchise quarterback?

Because that’s all that matters. Without a quarterback, everything else is meaningless.

I'm all for burning down Lucas Oil Stadium, keeping all of the players, and making them play 17 road games every year ...... and tell them that when they manage to make the postseason, Carlie Irsay-Gordon will build them a new stadium so that they can have their home games back.
