I’m not sure I agree with this. Other than the questions about Luck’s health the Colts were in a pretty damn good position for a turn around. Just the addition of Luck changed the way the arrow was pointing for the Colts. Add in getting rid of an ineffective coaching staff, a top 3 draft pick, and boat loads of cap space and the Colts were absolutely setup for big turn around. All assuming Lucks health of course. I have and will continue to argue that if Ballard hadn’t been set on a complete rebuild, the turn around could have been even larger. There was no need to start 1-5 and no need to be so short handed at WR in the playoffs last year. IMO those are both results of Ballard’s long term plans. That’s not to say they should have been Super Bowl favorites of course. And I certainly understand that it can be argued that all the young guys got better by playing more. And I understand that argument. But the point being the Colts were in a pretty damn good position last off season.
