The Colts just admitted that they screwed up their franchise qb pick and now are doing their professional tank job for Archi Manning. What a genius franchise move!

Maybe this is a lesson on Trey Lance and Anthony Richardson to not draft the QB with 200 pass attempts, sub 50% completion percentage, and less than 20 games of experience. Idk, maybe it's just actually difficult.

Eventually the NFL has to learn that drafting QBs based on physical prowess or "potential intangibles", doesn't pan out.

Over the last 4 years the colts have spent two 1st round picks and two 3rd round picks on quarterback position. And our starting qb is Daniel Jones.

Who knew that one year stent with Philip Rivers would be by far the best quarterback play of the last 10 years
