Yeah, this is the best articulation I've heard. I don't love throwing the baby out with the bathwater on most things, but Zach is right: Colts should really minimize any further decisions the next GM inherits, instead setting them up to make their own decisions.
Zach Hicks (THE PAIN IS OVER)@ZachHicks24h
I think the best path for the Colts is to shop anyone that won’t be under contract going into this offseason. Let the next GM figure out what they want to do with under contract players. Unless some godfather offer comes in, but I wouldn’t expect that to happen

Not necessarily rooting for Colts to trade Jonathan Taylor, but 1) they should be open to trading anyone, 2) he probably doesn't fit the timeline of their next shot at a franchise QB and 3) as a football fan, it would be *really* fun to watch him play in a serious offense.

I don't think a lot of casual fans realize how good he is when he's not the only player on the offense the opposing defense needs to worry about. Imagine him in Cincy, Chicago or Dallas...

99.9% of you follow me for Colts takes, I guess. Which is cool. Most of the time I just wanna tweet about Russell T Davies series though.

The ROI on Sauce Gardner has somehow been infinitely less than the ROI on Carson Wentz. The only remaining franchise competition is Trent Richardson.
Nathan Brown@By_NathanBrown23h
Shane Steichen says that Sauce Gardner’s calf injury leaves him “week to week”, uncertain of his status for this week vs. the Vikings. Alec Pierce, though he’s eligible to come off IR this week, will not practice this week as he continues to rehab his reinjured heel.

Both things true. 1. The Colts should be sellers. 2. The Colts shouldn't sell everyone. They still need players, and $ aren't an issue. If your plan is to have a rookie QB in '28 (sigh) and someone still fits the timeline to ease their entry to NFL, keep them imo.
Zach Hicks (THE PAIN IS OVER)@ZachHicks2Oct 19
Colts are absolutely going to be selling at the deadline now. DeForest Buckner is almost certainly going to be moved. Probably Grover Stewart as well. Do they move Quenton Nelson will be the big question. Would be nice having a HOF guard for the next QB and gotta pay someone

This is actually a very well-crafted message. Respect. It was always going provide a short-term dopamine hit, but the emphasis on not delaying the next chapter while keeping pressure on Steichen is pretty smart.

We have relieved Chris Ballard of his duties as General Manager.

One prevailing thought about Ballard era is how often fans have had legitimate concerns (particularly at receiver, EDGE and QB) be arrogantly dismissed by leadership. We're not that far from the Polian era. Fans still know what greatness looks like.

Seeing debate about who Colts pay going forward. It's secondary to who makes that decision, but you gotta pay some guys to be guys. The $20M in space this year clearly isn't doing any work. I pay any decent player who won't cost premium draft capital to replace at similar level.

The next regime needs to learn from Ballard's intro presser downplaying the value of QB, and his crown jewel players being at LG, RB and previously WILL, SLCB. You need EDGEs. You need WRs. And for God's sake, you need a franchise QB! Then the rest can help.
Nate Dunlevy@NateDunlevyOct 18
I don’t look at the Colts and think, “there’s talent here. They need better coaching” I see a mess of a roster loaded with mediocre to bad players and almost no difference makers.

Only one Colts postgame thought today: someone has gotta be held accountable if the owner(s) want any purchase with fans. I think that person should be Shane Steichen. Even if it's ultimately just scraps until it's finally Chris Ballard.

Daniel Jones is just full NYG Jones. Has been for a while. I think one of Jones or Steichen needs to be held accountable for this performance. This is the QB Steichen wanted.

You don't ever wanna see Colts lose to the Titans, but I swear if they go on to win and Steichen et al's messaging is what a gritty win this was versus a tough divisional opponent... (Which is exactly what happens in a franchise that lacks real accountability.)

I actually think firing Shane Steichen could be on the table.
Collin@cmccolloOct 18
If Colts do go on to lose this game (still doubt they do, although absurd it's now even a question), I think *something* has to happen in-season. Will it change the franchise trajectory? No. But you simply can't stand on this level of unpunished underperformance.

Have to think Carlie Irsay-Gorson is clocking these empty seats and home crowd boos.
James Boyd@RomeovilleKidOct 18
The #Colts are being booed after Daniel Jones was sacked on that third down. Not the first time they've been booed today. We head to the fourth quarter with Indy set to punt it away and thus giving Tennessee a chance to tie this game.

Daniel Jones has played poorly enough to be benched. Problem is: that's never a one-game thing. If you do that, it means you're ready for Anthony Richardson to be your guy. That isn't a decision you make lightly.
