people forget that AR and JT only had 2 snaps together last year. no team has seen a team in indy that'll look more like the ravens before. 10 wins is going to be the least imho.
The Colts impressed me last season with how much and how they overachieved. I expected the chaos and dysfunction of the previous season and off-season to carry over into a dumpster fire season. That clearly didn't happen. I think they build upon that and how far they do so is all on Richardson's development. If he breaks out, they might be just as good as I think the Texans will be and legit compete for the division. That said, I'm being a bit more modest in my Richardson expectations if for no other reason than small sample size. I nonetheless see a 9-11 win team that'll be competing for, if not, earning a wild card spot
A healthy AR, no Taylor contract issue, Pittman and Mitchell, and a pretty good pass rush. I don’t know if they can overtake Houston, but I can easily see them as a WC team.
As a Houston, I can see them overtaking us tbh. They were only 1 game behind us with a backup QB. Not to mention we have one of the hardest schedules this year while Indy is on the easy side. It's all dependent on AR tho. If he's healthy and plays just as well as last year, then they got it for sure.
Jags are going to have to have a season to remember to contend with the Texans and Colts this year, and I’d be surprised if both don’t make the playoffs
I do find the Colts' offense to be full of intrigue. And, you can make a case right now that Shane Steichen is the best play & scheme designer in the league. Overall, I think that the AFC South is going to be a very interesting division this year. The division has come a long way over the past two years!
@cocohotheatclips8264 he sucks and he's holding the eagles back. Howie is a genius at drafting and building a team, but the coaches just ain't the right fit.
Bro I’ve been telling everyone who will listen colts are my dark horse this season! I’m slamming their win total over locking them to make play offs and a little drizzle on them to make it to the SB. Season opener against the Texans books will probably let them catch 7+ points that plus the over is already my favorite play and the season ain’t even started
Here’s the thing about the colts secondary. People forget we were missing our number one outside corner almost all of last year, who was playing like a top 16 cb. That Dallas Flowers, who will be back healthy this year. Also, Juju Brents got hurt a few times last year, so we were really playing Kenny Moore, plus our third and fourth (sometimes fifth) corners. With healthy corners, and Juju Brents and Jones coming off of pretty good rookie seasons, and Flowers back in the mix, this should turn back into an average secondary, and with hopefully an above average pass rush like last year, it should be a pretty good defense. The issue last year was explosive plays, which we let up the most of last year mostly from unlucky missed tackles. It’s very interesting when you look into the stats actually. Because while the pass rush finished top 5 in sacks overall, they disappeared during parts of games, and that’s where all those explosive plays came from. What they’re hoping with Latu is that he’ll be an alpha pass rusher who can take over games and take some pressure off Buckner. As for everyone hating on AR and saying he can’t be good, while the injuries are concerning, there was really only one injury last year. The first “injury” was him banging up his knee and the colts sitting him for the last two plays of a game we weren’t winning. The second injury was an unfortunate concussion on frankly a cheap shot by a Texans DB. And the final injury was a freak tackle that resulted in a very weird injury that could happen to anyone. In fact, in the same season it happens to Derek Carr inside the pocket, just to a lesser degree. As far as his talent goes, I think we forget that he was outplaying CJ Stroud in the games he was playing. The reason his completion pct was so low was because in the first half of the rams game his receivers dropped like 5 catchable balls. But then he came back in that game and played just about perfectly, regaining a 23 pt deficit to force OT. In that stretch, he essentially made Aaron Donald (one of the best DTs ever) his son throwing directly in his face 40 yds down field to Alec Pierce, he completed two two point conversions, and never looked nervous the entire time, even if he got off to a slow start. The jags game was a solid game with only one mistake (an int that rookies throw all the time because NFL corners are more athletic and they’re not used to it yet), and in the Texans game, he was COOKING their defense with two rushing TDs before being put in for concussion protocol. He even looked great in the titans game, and you could see him visibly learning each week. And for everyone saying he should’ve sat a year, good news, THATS WHAT HE ENDED UP DOING. So yeah, those are my thoughts, great vid tho!
Agree with everything my guy. I’m pumped for this upcoming year. I truly think we have a shot at a lot of hardware: -AFC South crown -1 seed -AR MVP -Steichen COTY -AD Mitchell OROY -Latu DROY
As a huge Colts fan the '23-24 season was something else. I thought we were doomed when AR went down but big props to Minshew for coming in and doing an awesome job, hope nothing but the best for him on the Raiders.
Y’all underrate the hell out of this team. They legitimately bottomed out last year and still won 9 games. This year cannot possibly go worse than a year where everyone got injured. This a playoff shoe-in imo. I legitimately believe this is a top 5 team in the league going into the season.
Steichen is a great coach. If he can keep things consistent on defense and build up more weapons for AR on offense then we could be looking at a sleeper contender in another season or two.
As a Colts fan, this is how a typical Colts season goes: Lose 1st 2 games -> Rattle off an impressive win streak -> Lose some games towards the end of the season jeopardizing the post season making the last game a must win-> Either win final game to make playoffs as a Wild Card/Divisional Exit or lose narrowly/in hilarious fashion missing the playoffs
i know i am a colts fan so obviously biased, but i genuinely believe this could be a top 5 offense. Great Oline, great running back, young talented receivers. It all depends on Athony Richardson and if he can develop. He showed flashes last season. If he can continue to develop this team will be set up well. Not to mention we have an offensive mastermind who can scheme ways for his players to be successful. If everyone plays to their potential and stays healthy, this offense doesn't have a weakness. It is primarily dependent on Richardson's development. the defense could be good. Corners were an issue last year, but it was mostly an experience issue. Kenny Moore is good. Jaylon Jones and Juju Brents showed flashes. If they can develop we will be fine at corner, especially with Dallis flowers coming back. Safety is a bit thin. If we sign someone like Justin Simmons, it will greatly boost our secondary. Our front 7 is already elite. If we boost our secondary i think this defense could be top 10. I'm not sure I'm willing to say they are a dark horse contender, but i do think we are heavily being slept on. There are a lot of variables, but we could be sneaky great this season.
I think ARich is being a bit overhyped. He came into the league EXTREMELY raw, and only played 4 games last year, and not all of those were full games. The arguments against caleb/jayden is we haven't seen it at the NFL level yet, and AR is no different.
Few things about AR’s injuries. People act like he’s reckless but quite the opposite First injury: got it early in the first quarter. Took him out for 2 offensive plays down by 10 with 30 seconds left. Keeping him safe Second injury: concussions have been a huge thing the past 2 years. Huge issue the nfl needs to solve Third injury: freak accident with a 230+ pound guy landing on his shoulder at an awkward angle. He could’ve came back but the team opted for surgery so he would be safer
For the corners, you forgot Dallis Flowers who suffered a season-ending injury early last year and was good before his injury. I think the organisation feels comfortable with him, Juju and Kenny as their 3 CBs
Dallis Flowers was the #1 outside starter last season (and not even on your list), and played very well until season ending injury. He'll be the starter again this year if healthy.
Pittman has everything to be the top receiver in Indy and possibly one of the best in the entire AFC. I'm sure AR will look to Mike as his safety blanket when he starts to feel pressure or when Richardson gets out of the pocket and still looking to throw
As an Eagles fan, I'm still kinda sour about losing Shane Steichen but I'm actually really glad he's finding success thus-far. As for how far they'll go, I personally think there's a good chance they not only make the playoffs this year, but could possibly be a DIVISIONAL round exit, provided of course that Anthony Richardson can stay healthy. I don't think they'll make the AFC championship game. I don't think they're ready for that kind of competition. However, the season hasn't started yet so it's really anyone's guess. They could make the Super Bowl for all we know. Or they could go 9 and 8 and miss the playoffs again. Who knows? And more importantly, LOOK AT MINSHEW GO! I knew he'd succeed, given the right system. That's something I've been saying since the first time I saw him play in Jacksonville. He just needs the right people around him that can match his energy.
Season prediction 7-10. Richardson gets hurt and out for half the season, Flacco gets hurt after a few games, and Ellinger loses 6 games in a row to end the season. Colts draft two QB's in the 2025 NFL Draft
Can we wait to see if AR can stay healthy and how he performs? I get the Colts are a good team but people is crowning AR with a vety small sample size.
Colts downfall will be Gus Bradley. They need a guy with a modern defensive philosophy. Drafting two O linemen with that many really good CBs on the board still doesnt make sense to me. They should have taken a shot on someone. We could have got our 3rd rounder in the 4th or 5th honestly. Also not bringing in a vet at outside corner will bite them. Idk. We will see.
Colts fan, needed a DB, terrible pick, we have 4 DE's now that should be starting 7 total, who's playing?? Only 2 at a time, 6dbs on the roster, sign gilmore and fix the dumb trade from last year
Hate the Colts!!! As I hate every team that isnt my own😂 with that being said Indianapolis is going to surprise alot of people I think...all I hear is how Richardson will be out by week 3 😂 well even if that's true it's not a good thing for opposing teams! We all saw what Flacco is still capable of so he'd most likely have a season like Rivers did with them. The WR room in Indy is probably the most slept on in the league..now that they added Mitchell and everyone knows what JT can do🤷♂️ now onto the defense...Latu is a MONSTER I've seen every game he's played in college live and he brings the ENERGY!!! He's going to be Indys TJ Watt!! Keep sleeping on those Colts because they definitely comin! Unless they're playing my boys I wish Latu nothing but success!!!
With Anthony Richardson as their exciting, thrill creating, athletic monster of a QB the Colts will go as far as Joe Flacco will carry them.😂 And the black Colts helmet still looks like warm 💩
Expectation. Nobody expects the colts to win the division at all. Meanwhile the bucs are expected to win their division because of what happened last season and the uncertainty (especially after the draft with the falcons)
Personally I think the Colts win about 5 more games than the Bucs this year. Everything went wrong for Indy last year, their QB and several other critical pieces got injured and they still won 9 games (same number as the Bucs). The Bucs were very healthy last year, had virtually nothing to wrong, got to play a truly atrocious team in their playoff win, and were generally a pretty lucky team last year. He’s not at all crazy for this.
@@ScholarlyHiccup bro what. The bnucs are going to win at the VERY least 6 games so you're straight up predicting the colts to win 11 games next with an uncertainty at qb year? that's ridiculous.
"Unless he cant hit the broad side of a barn" talking about the guy who has never finished a season with a completion percentage over 55%(barring injury bc his % almlst certainly would have went down a few points if he played the whole season)
A little, bro. I’m a Colts fan, and I saw people calling for him to get the MVP last year. Before he got hurt. I think he’ll be an injury bust. Plus the last few interviews I’ve seen of him, leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
A great deal of this forecast hinges on AR being solid at QB. I just can't share the confidence that he's going to come into his own and put up numbers to the level mentioned in the video when there isn't anything from his personal performance to really suggest that. His time in Florida was underwhelming and even had he played great in the few games he played last year (he didn't, not even close) it's to small a sample. The colts essentially have a rookie QB going into the season coming off a shoulder injury to his throwing arm. I'm a Bears fan and I've some experience with this situation. Fans get all hyped up over a physically gifted QB that can run the ball, that's great and can be a great asset, but all too often it results in injury as well. People swore by Fields, despite the fact that his passing stats were never above the bottom third of the league. He was even listed as a top 100 player *shakes head* Until a QB shows they can be consistent passing the ball, you don't know what you have, but until that point, you don't have a franchise QB.
100%! He keeps saying they had a backup QB last year when Minshew is good enough to start for any team that doesn't HAVE their franchise guy. In my opinion, Minshew was the starter and AR was the backup in terms of what was put on the field
@TevinReagan bc he failed to complete 50% of his passes that game, only had 200 yards exactly, and if you take away his one 23yd TD run he went 9car for 23yds. What did he show exactly?
The Biggest Difference between Fields and AR is location. I'm not really a AR truther myself but I'd say AR is in a better situation because he has a better coach and better personnel then Fields then at Chicago.
@@maskedman5657Bingo! AR is in a better place then Fields was as far as a coaching staff goes. I’m a Cowboys fan, and I like Steichen. Not completely sold on AR, but he has skills and attributes that can’t be taught. I want to see if the accuracy issues improve. If he can pull off something like Josh Allen did, he’ll be nearly unstoppable.
AR is trash he’s all talk…softer than baby💩…he’ll be on IR by week 5 again…AR has never been on a winning team where he was a starter not even in HS…mid at best at Fla. Worst first round pick by colts ever
Huge fan of the channel, but even bigger fan of the Colts. I completely agree with you that we are going to be a problem this year! The afc south is going to be a problem if you ask me, Jacksonville is the weakest link to me and I'm not even saying they aren't a good team. I'm getting afc North vibes from the afc this year, i think it's fair to say every team has a good shot at a playoff appearance.
Honestly, i dont quite trust Richardson yet and im a massive Colts fan. He needs to reel in his hero mode and utilise the weapons around him. Stay in the pocket unless its 3rd down and a scramble is needed. Im not happy we let Minshew walk though he absolutely deserves to start.
@@morganyu812I’m a rams fan, so feel free to discard my take off the rip, but I honestly think that Matt stafford gets the right amount of love. No one is saying he’s the best qb in the league, and he’s not a young man anymore. But, he is one of the toughest qbs in the league and his first year away from Detroit he gets a ring. Sure his stats are inflated because the lions were always playing from behind, but I have been thankful to have him behind center because I feel that if he’s on the field we always have a chance at a win.
@@morganyu812 what are you babbling about? Matthew Stafford has plenty of stats to back up his greatness, not to mention a ring. Which the rams would not have won without him. Clutch all playoffs. Keep yapping on RUclips comments though.
Yes especially when Richardson is out by week 5 and taylor probably the 3rd preseason game and all they're left with is pittman catching 10 seven to nine yard passes a game than they'll bring in father time and the defense won't be able to cover his 3 turnovers a game like the browns defense did
You did the whole NFC South, and you're on the third team of the AFC South, and I have yet to hear you be less than optimistic about anyone other than the Bucs. Everyone else--all six teams--are getting a passing grade and mostly a great report. But not the Bucs. I don't think so. I don't think so at all.
@@Unknown17 expectations play a part in this. I said in the Panthers video I expect them to be in the 4-6 win range which is significantly less than Tampa
@@FootballAnalysis1 I know, man. I don't fault you at all. You're always reasonable. I sometimes forget that 6 wins can be pretty good for one team and pretty bad for another. So someone can be full of optimism for predicting 7 wins for a team that only got 4 last year. It's only, say, when I look at the video titles that I get a sense of imbalance. I'm cool.
@@Unknown17 all good sir I know you’re good people. Many don’t email and reach out. We’re also naturally not going to agree on all 32 teams lol There will be some more previews like Tampa in the near future in that regard
Whole lot of AR haters in the comments 😂 . Colts are about to shock the league 💯.. top 5 easiest schedule + a FULL season of Jonathan taylor idk how this guy didn't talk about JT.😅
@drizzit2424 cj got sacked 6 times and fumbled in the first game 😆. Score was 30-10 at some point with 14 points coming from AR alone . 2nd game cj won by a dropped pass that he witnessed from the bench 🪑😬. But will see what happens week 1 with AR and JT finally playing together. JT had over 200 yards against the Texans that last game.
@drizzit2424 so you're counting on him to get injured? how pathetic 🤣. What a Loser. If cj stroud gets injured, I'll be here to remind you how pathetic you are . Lmaoooo
I know it’s against college talent, but if you extrapolate the data, that would lead to a ≈4550/36td season. I don’t know that I have full faith in AR, but he is in a pretty qb friendly situation to reach his upside
All yall haters in the comments is funny man. First of all AR is not injury prone just because he had a few small injuries and one major in five games.. First of all all AR had to do was see that safety coming and put his shoulder in the safety chest instead of letting him push him over in the endzone that caused AR to roll over and get that concussion the first time and the shoulder he was escaping and the d end pulled him down and landed on his shoulder from behind.. That is not wreckless! And as far as his accuracy his accuracy actually was 59. Something percent before he got injured and he also had 3 passing tds and four running tds before injury which has never been done in the first three games of a season or something like that.. Anyway it was something that has never been done in NFL history.. And to one interception.. If AR wouldn't have gotten hurt Noone would have been talkin bout stroud.. Also AR don't even have to do not even close to all the work.. All he has to do is get the ball to his playmakers which the colts have an abundance of riches with( no matter how many ppl or critics don't wanna admit it) cause if this team comes together with AR and JT in the back field nobody will b able to stop them Josh downs will get a thousand plus yards this year.. Hell he had almost 800 his rookie year from the slot and with Pitt already being a thousand yard number one receiver that's two.. And with AR at the helm you best believe AD and Pierce is about to have a great year.. AR will easily pass 4000 passing yards and that's not even including Woods and Olgatreee stats.. Ppl don't know football saying all this crazy hatin ass shit about the colts or AR.. Im 45 yrs old and been a colts fan since 96 and I've never even been this excited about a Peyton Manning team like I am about this team.. Now yess it can go bad and AR can get hurt again but that's a possibility with every qb in the league just as it is with AR so all the injury worries and hate because of his injury he suffered you mine as well have the same hate for Burrow and every other qb that's been injured last season or before.. Lol.. Ppl are really a trip and don't think sometimes and all you do is make yourselves look dumb or slow.. Lol.. I can't wait to see AR shit all the haters up and I'm taking reciets for him so when I C anybody that was hatin trying to get on the bandwagon when we Killin the league I'm definitely gone remind you and tell you stay in ya lane hater... Lol.. COLTSNATION year this year top 5 offense and defense..
How far do you think the Colts go in 2024? 🤔
Where the Ballard regime is at all I have to say is *12 wins or bust*
We actually play the Jets in NY unfortunately. The bills and lions are home games though. I’d say 10 wins is a realistic goal
people forget that AR and JT only had 2 snaps together last year. no team has seen a team in indy that'll look more like the ravens before. 10 wins is going to be the least imho.

-AD Mitchell OROY

Top 10 for sure, it really depends on the development of the wideout room imo.

Good morning everybody

No.
Can AT stay healthy to make it that far?
everyone forgets we played with a backup running back most of the year as well
FINALLY SOME RESPECT FROM SOMEONE. Any team should be weary of playing Indy this year. A healthy AR is the leagues worst nightmare.
Colts D line is ridiculous.
Pittman has everything to be the top receiver in Indy and possibly one of the best in the entire AFC. I'm sure AR will look to Mike as his safety blanket when he starts to feel pressure or when Richardson gets out of the pocket and still looking to throw
Ya made a pretty damn good case for the 2024 Indianapolis Colts! Great work - thanks for the vid
I'm more worried about our safety group than corners.
They have some pieces, but I don't think that they have enough to be considered a complete contender...yet...
As an Eagles fan, I'm still kinda sour about losing Shane Steichen but I'm actually really glad he's finding success thus-far. As for how far they'll go, I personally think there's a good chance they not only make the playoffs this year, but could possibly be a DIVISIONAL round exit, provided of course that Anthony Richardson can stay healthy. I don't think they'll make the AFC championship game. I don't think they're ready for that kind of competition. However, the season hasn't started yet so it's really anyone's guess. They could make the Super Bowl for all we know. Or they could go 9 and 8 and miss the playoffs again. Who knows? And more importantly, LOOK AT MINSHEW GO! I knew he'd succeed, given the right system. That's something I've been saying since the first time I saw him play in Jacksonville. He just needs the right people around him that can match his energy.
Love Colts but need to a LOT more from AR. No disrespect. Pulling for him!
Ar really needs to improve his accuracy from the pocket his best throws are on the run and high in the pocket. Tells me it's a mechanics issue
Same our QB got hurt 3 times
Season prediction 7-10. Richardson gets hurt and out for half the season, Flacco gets hurt after a few games, and Ellinger loses 6 games in a row to end the season. Colts draft two QB's in the 2025 NFL Draft
you're waaay to negative man. Meditate, get laid, do something man lol
The interesting thing about the colts is will Anthony Richardson be an athlete playing the QB position of an athletic QB playing the the QB position
Can we wait to see if AR can stay healthy and how he performs? I get the Colts are a good team but people is crowning AR with a vety small sample size.
Colts downfall will be Gus Bradley. They need a guy with a modern defensive philosophy. Drafting two O linemen with that many really good CBs on the board still doesnt make sense to me. They should have taken a shot on someone. We could have got our 3rd rounder in the 4th or 5th honestly. Also not bringing in a vet at outside corner will bite them. Idk. We will see.
News flash Jalen Hurts can squat over 600lbs. That's why the tush push works
Please just sign gilmore!
Gould is going to be.... gold in the special teams.
What happened to Darius Leonard
Got released due to injury, he was amazing for 4 years but he wasnt the same after 2 back surgeries
Great video but saying AR is the most athletic qb with 4 games played is wild
Colts fan, needed a DB, terrible pick, we have 4 DE's now that should be starting 7 total, who's playing?? Only 2 at a time, 6dbs on the roster, sign gilmore and fix the dumb trade from last year
Whats funny to me is the cinstant disrespect to gardner minshew. Dude balls out and gets called a backup regularly
He wasn't that great last year. He struggled when defenses shut down the run game.
I feel like this is a make or break year for Gus Bradley, IMO
The secondary will prove you wrong.
Ebukam gone for the season is a huge hit
The offense wasn't the actual problem for the Colts. It was the defense. Why can't anyone see that?
Sucks we lost Samson Ebukam for the season
big fan of steichen
Ebukam season ending injury.😢
Steichen is the afc version of Shanahan
That Payton Curse fucked up Andrew and now the Payton and Andrew Curse on Richardson 🤦🏿♂️
A problem in a bad way!
Need more from AR
Irsay wanting to be a celeb will be a wall for this team eventually unless he steps back
The only problem they’ll have is losing too much 🥴
Bros so salty that the Giants beat the Vikings
Colts must win 10 hopefully 11 games
Do a jets video bro
Josh downs is a dawg boys.
Get ready for a breakout year
Hate the Colts!!! As I hate every team that isnt my own😂 with that being said Indianapolis is going to surprise alot of people I think...all I hear is how Richardson will be out by week 3 😂 well even if that's true it's not a good thing for opposing teams! We all saw what Flacco is still capable of so he'd most likely have a season like Rivers did with them. The WR room in Indy is probably the most slept on in the league..now that they added Mitchell and everyone knows what JT can do🤷♂️ now onto the defense...Latu is a MONSTER I've seen every game he's played in college live and he brings the ENERGY!!! He's going to be Indys TJ Watt!! Keep sleeping on those Colts because they definitely comin! Unless they're playing my boys I wish Latu nothing but success!!!
Ar15 is barely mentioned yet the comments suggest its a video about him ot something. Bunch of mockingbirds just squacking
With Anthony Richardson as their exciting, thrill creating, athletic monster of a QB the Colts will go as far as Joe Flacco will carry them.😂 And the black Colts helmet still looks like warm 💩
Ar buddy stop running the ball be a qb not an rb.
I don't get you football analysis. So the Colts are going to be a problem this year but the Bucs who went Divisional last year are in for a let down?
Expectation. Nobody expects the colts to win the division at all. Meanwhile the bucs are expected to win their division because of what happened last season and the uncertainty (especially after the draft with the falcons)
Personally I think the Colts win about 5 more games than the Bucs this year.
Everything went wrong for Indy last year, their QB and several other critical pieces got injured and they still won 9 games (same number as the Bucs). The Bucs were very healthy last year, had virtually nothing to wrong, got to play a truly atrocious team in their playoff win, and were generally a pretty lucky team last year. He’s not at all crazy for this.
@@SheLuhShay They are in for a let down just like the Bucs because the AFC South is no longer one of the worst divisions anymore
@@ScholarlyHiccup bro what. The bnucs are going to win at the VERY least 6 games so you're straight up predicting the colts to win 11 games next with an uncertainty at qb year? that's ridiculous.
AR is getting a little overrated, only 4 games played …
Exactly. I hope he’s good but we still have no clue if he can stay healthy
"Unless he cant hit the broad side of a barn" talking about the guy who has never finished a season with a completion percentage over 55%(barring injury bc his % almlst certainly would have went down a few points if he played the whole season)
Agreed bro.
A little, bro. I’m a Colts fan, and I saw people calling for him to get the MVP last year. Before he got hurt. I think he’ll be an injury bust. Plus the last few interviews I’ve seen of him, leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
He LOVES ARs chode@@geoschilling
A problem for....
Love AR this season, placed a nice sum on AR MVP @ +2500
Waste of money
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Colts are their own worse enemy
I think we're going to surprise a lot of people this year
We are going to kick some A$$ this year.
This team scares me as a Texans fan. Colts were a tough team with Minshew imagine AR and JT together.
And Latu
Go Blue
Look at all these couch GMs in the comment section🤣hilarious
I have the colts floor being 9-8 where their ceiling is a divisional round appearance
This didn't age well.
Three games in and this is already aged badly
Thanks Kurt! What’s your Super Bowl prediction?
This video is about the COLTS not AR. It seems you girls are scared 😂
(5)☘☘ Can't wait for your next video! ☘☘
A great deal of this forecast hinges on AR being solid at QB. I just can't share the confidence that he's going to come into his own and put up numbers to the level mentioned in the video when there isn't anything from his personal performance to really suggest that. His time in Florida was underwhelming and even had he played great in the few games he played last year (he didn't, not even close) it's to small a sample. The colts essentially have a rookie QB going into the season coming off a shoulder injury to his throwing arm. I'm a Bears fan and I've some experience with this situation. Fans get all hyped up over a physically gifted QB that can run the ball, that's great and can be a great asset, but all too often it results in injury as well. People swore by Fields, despite the fact that his passing stats were never above the bottom third of the league. He was even listed as a top 100 player *shakes head* Until a QB shows they can be consistent passing the ball, you don't know what you have, but until that point, you don't have a franchise QB.
100%! He keeps saying they had a backup QB last year when Minshew is good enough to start for any team that doesn't HAVE their franchise guy. In my opinion, Minshew was the starter and AR was the backup in terms of what was put on the field
he played pretty much that full rams game how did he not show anything…their defense was still killer
@TevinReagan bc he failed to complete 50% of his passes that game, only had 200 yards exactly, and if you take away his one 23yd TD run he went 9car for 23yds. What did he show exactly?
The Biggest Difference between Fields and AR is location. I'm not really a AR truther myself but I'd say AR is in a better situation because he has a better coach and better personnel then Fields then at Chicago.
@@maskedman5657Bingo! AR is in a better place then Fields was as far as a coaching staff goes. I’m a Cowboys fan, and I like Steichen. Not completely sold on AR, but he has skills and attributes that can’t be taught. I want to see if the accuracy issues improve. If he can pull off something like Josh Allen did, he’ll be nearly unstoppable.
AR is trash he’s all talk…softer than baby💩…he’ll be on IR by week 5 again…AR has never been on a winning team where he was a starter not even in HS…mid at best at Fla. Worst first round pick by colts ever
What about the browns game? Stolen by the league.
Huge fan of the channel, but even bigger fan of the Colts. I completely agree with you that we are going to be a problem this year! The afc south is going to be a problem if you ask me, Jacksonville is the weakest link to me and I'm not even saying they aren't a good team. I'm getting afc North vibes from the afc this year, i think it's fair to say every team has a good shot at a playoff appearance.
Honestly, i dont quite trust Richardson yet and im a massive Colts fan. He needs to reel in his hero mode and utilise the weapons around him. Stay in the pocket unless its 3rd down and a scramble is needed.
Im not happy we let Minshew walk though he absolutely deserves to start.
I have never seen this much hype over a rookie QB who missed basically the entire season.
@@RamsHouse99 Never seen so much hype about a QB who is playing second Fiddle to Patrick Mahomes.
@RamsHouse99 I think Stafford is Over hyped Soo....
@@morganyu812I’m a rams fan, so feel free to discard my take off the rip, but I honestly think that Matt stafford gets the right amount of love. No one is saying he’s the best qb in the league, and he’s not a young man anymore. But, he is one of the toughest qbs in the league and his first year away from Detroit he gets a ring. Sure his stats are inflated because the lions were always playing from behind, but I have been thankful to have him behind center because I feel that if he’s on the field we always have a chance at a win.
@@Toxin317 He's not better than Mahomes Soooo...
@@morganyu812 what are you babbling about? Matthew Stafford has plenty of stats to back up his greatness, not to mention a ring. Which the rams would not have won without him. Clutch all playoffs. Keep yapping on RUclips comments though.
Yes especially when Richardson is out by week 5 and taylor probably the 3rd preseason game and all they're left with is pittman catching 10 seven to nine yard passes a game than they'll bring in father time and the defense won't be able to cover his 3 turnovers a game like the browns defense did
Colts offense will be a top 10 unit all around. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know ball
If they stay healthy they gonna surprise everyone defense has to show up every game though
Id be very surprised if they have a winning season.
Test
You did the whole NFC South, and you're on the third team of the AFC South, and I have yet to hear you be less than optimistic about anyone other than the Bucs. Everyone else--all six teams--are getting a passing grade and mostly a great report. But not the Bucs. I don't think so. I don't think so at all.
@@Unknown17 expectations play a part in this. I said in the Panthers video I expect them to be in the 4-6 win range which is significantly less than Tampa
@@FootballAnalysis1 I know, man. I don't fault you at all. You're always reasonable. I sometimes forget that 6 wins can be pretty good for one team and pretty bad for another. So someone can be full of optimism for predicting 7 wins for a team that only got 4 last year. It's only, say, when I look at the video titles that I get a sense of imbalance. I'm cool.
@@Unknown17 all good sir I know you’re good people. Many don’t email and reach out. We’re also naturally not going to agree on all 32 teams lol
There will be some more previews like Tampa in the near future in that regard
Whole lot of AR haters in the comments 😂 . Colts are about to shock the league 💯.. top 5 easiest schedule + a FULL season of Jonathan taylor idk how this guy didn't talk about JT.😅
C.J will have something to say about that 🤣😂🤣😂
@drizzit2424 cj got sacked 6 times and fumbled in the first game 😆. Score was 30-10 at some point with 14 points coming from AR alone . 2nd game cj won by a dropped pass that he witnessed from the bench 🪑😬. But will see what happens week 1 with AR and JT finally playing together. JT had over 200 yards against the Texans that last game.
@INDY_REY25 and AR isn't man enough to survive a full season. So what's your point 🤣😂🤣😂
@drizzit2424 so you're counting on him to get injured? how pathetic 🤣. What a Loser. If cj stroud gets injured, I'll be here to remind you how pathetic you are . Lmaoooo
@drizzit2424 Only Pathetic Losers who don't know football wish injuries on players lmao what a clown. 🤡.
🤤
Mane threw 3100 and 24 tds in his college career and now he suppose top these numbers in 1 year in the league 😒
I know it’s against college talent, but if you extrapolate the data, that would lead to a ≈4550/36td season. I don’t know that I have full faith in AR, but he is in a pretty qb friendly situation to reach his upside
@@Toxin317 that’s was all 3 years he played stats, he barely played his first two years and his 3rd year got cut short due to injuries
All yall haters in the comments is funny man. First of all AR is not injury prone just because he had a few small injuries and one major in five games.. First of all all AR had to do was see that safety coming and put his shoulder in the safety chest instead of letting him push him over in the endzone that caused AR to roll over and get that concussion the first time and the shoulder he was escaping and the d end pulled him down and landed on his shoulder from behind.. That is not wreckless! And as far as his accuracy his accuracy actually was 59. Something percent before he got injured and he also had 3 passing tds and four running tds before injury which has never been done in the first three games of a season or something like that.. Anyway it was something that has never been done in NFL history.. And to one interception.. If AR wouldn't have gotten hurt Noone would have been talkin bout stroud.. Also AR don't even have to do not even close to all the work.. All he has to do is get the ball to his playmakers which the colts have an abundance of riches with( no matter how many ppl or critics don't wanna admit it) cause if this team comes together with AR and JT in the back field nobody will b able to stop them Josh downs will get a thousand plus yards this year.. Hell he had almost 800 his rookie year from the slot and with Pitt already being a thousand yard number one receiver that's two.. And with AR at the helm you best believe AD and Pierce is about to have a great year.. AR will easily pass 4000 passing yards and that's not even including Woods and Olgatreee stats.. Ppl don't know football saying all this crazy hatin ass shit about the colts or AR.. Im 45 yrs old and been a colts fan since 96 and I've never even been this excited about a Peyton Manning team like I am about this team.. Now yess it can go bad and AR can get hurt again but that's a possibility with every qb in the league just as it is with AR so all the injury worries and hate because of his injury he suffered you mine as well have the same hate for Burrow and every other qb that's been injured last season or before.. Lol.. Ppl are really a trip and don't think sometimes and all you do is make yourselves look dumb or slow.. Lol.. I can't wait to see AR shit all the haters up and I'm taking reciets for him so when I C anybody that was hatin trying to get on the bandwagon when we Killin the league I'm definitely gone remind you and tell you stay in ya lane hater... Lol.. COLTSNATION year this year top 5 offense and defense..
