They did well with Rivers but odd enough using hindsight I wish they would've signed Brady. I never thought I would say that.

I tend to agree. Going the Brady route, while sacrilegious in every sense of the word for a Colts fan, would probably have been the wiser choice for a Plethora of reasons, but mainly:

1)Brady would have been quite cheap for his production, allowing us move money for plays that.....

2)Ballers wanting to come play with Brady and win a Lombardi. If Brady had come to Indy, we would have had the cap room at the time to bring in his entourage at the time. This O would have had Gronk, AB, and likely another guy star on O. Probably would have brought in Suh and a few other aging stars to make the push.

Instead we got Rivers, another dose of TY, and Trey Burton. We spend all of our money and draft capital on O-Line and D-Line which hasn't panned out. We went cheap, to build through the draft, and the mediocrity of most of the picks has hamstrung us into the hell that is mediocrity in todays NFL. Never picking high enough to change your franchise and never picking low enough as a result of being a true contender.

But don't worry, we have a top 15 first round pick this year which will help....oh wait.

It begs the question.....What more does Carson Wentz require to be elite and make playoff runs with the Colts year after year? Definitely a WR2 opposite Pittman and a slot guy. And also an alpha dog TE. That's about it. So if what we are seeing out of Wentz now is pretty much his ceiling at this point, we probably are stuck in mediocrity town for the foreseeable future without a bit of luck falling our way.

I say fuck optics and fuck sportsmanship. If we become out of the playoff race or its even close, find a cleanup procedure for Wentz for the last 3-4 games of the season. We need to see what we have in Ehlinger as a backup. If Wentz is too fragile to be on board for this plan, then he really doesn't want to win a Lombardi and surround himself with the best possible talent going forward.
