[Warcodered]

Sucks that a young guy that was playing so well got hurt, see you next year I guess.

Minshew is the next Fitzpatrick. 

[John from Riverside]

The Colts weren’t going anywhere this year anyway might as well get the better draft picks

[Chandler#81]

The kid showed promise. Colts are a hard luck team. Every damn year!

[Nitro]

The Colts fans here kept saying it was a matter of time because he was getting hurt every game he played.  Sad.  Good talent and bright future.

Colts are a hard luck team??? They had Peyton Manning & Andrew Luck back to back, its no ones fault but their own they only have one championship to show for it

[BuffaloBillyG]

From the small body of work he looked a lot better than I thought he would. However, I don't see him having a long career unless he learns to protect his body better.

Exactly. Same reasoning is why I dislike the Packers. They had roughly 30 years of Favre/Rodgers and turned it into just 2 Super Bowls. I'm not sure between the Colts and Packers which team squandered the opportunity worse.

And the Bills had Kelly and Have Josh...

 

Dare I say "Stones and glass houses"?

Well, now you're talking about differ eras, coaching staffs, even ownership. It's a bit different. 

 

Luck was a "generational talent" and Manning was a top 2 QB of his era. Manning easily within that top 10 all time QB list. 

 

Rodgers and Favre were in the top 3 of their era. Rodgers, like Manning, easily within the top 10 all time QB list. Favre somewhere in that 35-50 all time area. 

 

Josh's career isn't over. His story is still being written. And Kelly was great...but taking the Homer glassed off I don't think Kelly was a Top 3-5 QB of his era. Probably in the same top 35-50 all time area that Favre is. 

 

This is like comparing McIntosh to Granny Smith to a box of Lucky Charms IMO.

Actually I'm not.  Kelly did things that will never be repeated in a harder Era. Allen hasn't done anything yet just like luck.  

 

Taking off the rose colored glasses, 3 franchises wasting 6 great to potentially great QB's.  2 of the 3 franchises at least have a superbowl win.  

 

Fans can get upset all they want, McDermott and beane are wasting the most pure talented QB we have ever had.  And if something doesn't change, he and Luck will have a lot in common.

He never finished a game. That’s gotta be a serious concern going forward. They don’t seem like crazy hits either and he’s a huge guy.

I'd like to hear what it is that Kelly did that will never be repeated? Keep in mind, making 4 straight Super Bowls is a team accomplishment and at least one of those years Reich had more to do with us getting through the playoffs than Jim did.

This is a bummer. I really like the flashes I saw from him

 

[Captain Hindsight]

One of my favorites to watch in my quest to watch every game. Dude was a baller and the 2nd best rookie behind Stroad. 
 

Also Bryce Young sucks. Reich screwed up

Dude was hurt 3 times in limited action in like 3 or 4 games and is now out for the season...yikes!

 

Colts seem to have no luck drafting QBs that are not walking injuries the last two high picks they used.

They were playing really well thoigh. They are in every game. And his biggest issue is not playing enough. 
 

he’s more talented but kinda reminds of EJ’s rookie year. There were flashes and then he would get hurt. Kills your development.
