So either AR was lying or you are wrong. Considering what I heard directly from Stechein’s mouth, I believe he didn’t explain it beyond Flacco is better right now. IMO he went out of his way to put doubt on AR ever being the Colts QB again.

Steichen didn’t say he told AR where he needed to improve, said he couldn’t predict the future though. And AR said he didn’t. So why do you believe he did? Just because it would be stupid not to? I’m sure the team is doing damage control now with everyone pointing out their stupidity in their handling of this. And I’m sure at some point they’ll tell him. But so far it’s been a fucking clown show as usual.

Maybe there was an agreement to keep that part in house. You call it lying, as if you think the team is transparent all the time. We both know better than that. Just know that either Shane said nothing, or he said something, and the two agreed to keep it private. My guess is they are keeping it private for a mutual benefit. First, if AR says what it was, it could hurt his chances later in the league. Second, if Shane says what it is, he could hurt the Colts trade compensation if they choose to go that route. Neither side benefits from putting it out there for public consumption.
