Well, you said it... that's hindsight. Literally (figuratively) everyone was galvanized into picking the Colts to win the division + do damage in the playoffs after the Ryan signing. The other options were uninspiring.
His arm wasn't very strong, but I think most realized that. He could still make enough throws to be affective. What nobody saw coming was the catastrophic ball security. Four fumbles in Week 1 and it never stopped.
Couple that with an OL that we also didn't expect would have to panic shuffle like it did and not only is Ryan getting pressured too much... he's turning it into worst case scenarios with turnovers.
