I agree that I would not necessarily put a of eggs in the proverbial Riley Leoanrd basket based on one solid game against a team that pulled some of their starters in the 2nd half ...... I think that there is about a 40 to 50% chance that Leonard could actually be the quarterback that we saw in that game.

Kamari Lassiter, the Corner who should have been playing Pierce, was held out of the game.

With a lead of 20-10, the Texans began yanking starters midway through the 2nd Quarter. Until that point, the Colts had scored 7 points on a busted coverage and another 3 on a drive punctuated by a 17 yard Rigoberto Sanchez pass on 4th down and a Riley Leonard scramble for 11. Before the Texans pulled their starters, aside from the busted play, Leonard had thrown for 13 yards.

It wasn’t a busted coverage they weren’t expecting the rookie to have the balls to make that throw

Tremon Smith simply abandoned coverage of Pierce and let him run by.. I’m not sure that that isn’t the definition of busted coverage.

He abandoned Pierce because he got greedy and he assumed the rookie was throwing short.

I’m sure the scouting report was, he can’t throw they don’t trust him so if he does throw it’ll be all short passes. Be ready to jump all short passes and get a couple pick 6s.

They totally shut Taylor down and dared Leonard to beat them and if Pierce doesn’t get ejected he absolutely was gonna beat them

Who is willing to wait 7 years for Marshall Manning to become our QB?

It's fine with waiting 7 years for Marshall Manning to become our quarterback ...... as long as the Colts win 2 or 3 conference championships in the meantime.

I would say Ballard, given his penchant for having 7,8, 10 or so year "plans" to be competitive. However, I will not volunteer Ballard as being that person, because despite my expectation and dismay at him likely still being our GM in 7 years, and with every expectation Manning would be the consensus #1 and we would have #1 pick, because ummmm Ballard is our 17 year GM with zero division titles, I would expect Ballard in that situation, to trade down.

Correct. And Leonard made many more good passes in that game.

The announcers, Colts fans, and pretty much everybody watching that game (except for Texans fans) were happily surprised with Leonard's showing that day.
