Seems it is gonna be D Jones

[Mr. Session]

The thread bump made me think Jones was given the job, lol.

I am a little apathetic too. I think it's insane at this point to come into this expecting an exciting year

I also think there is a lot more uncertainty for this organization with Carlie taking over that people seem to be scared to vocalize or something, for whatever reason. (If Jim was walking around the sideline wearing a head set, the world would be throwing a fit).

I hope AR gets the nod so we can run it and if it doesn't work out, be done with it. I'm pretty sure the only thing that could create real optimism at this point is a regime change.

A division title with a deep playoff run and a Pro Bowl appearance for AR wouldn't create optimism for you?

I'm not saying it's likely to happen, but it would definitely be a reason for optimism.

Sure. It definitely would, but do you really think that's going to happen?

Again, we've watched this show for about a decade now. Why are we expecting something different at this point?

White Sox fans waited a lot longer than that, and then they won it all in 2005.

Long-suffering Colts fans can hang in there for a least a few more years while simultaneously keeping their hopes up for a solid, Philip Rivers-like 2020 season.

There have been much worse seasons than this one in terms of excitement.

Remember the 2017 season? With Scott Tolzien as the QB? Or the post Luck retirement season in 2019? Those were some dark days, and they are pretty recent. Let's not get into some of dark seasons in the late 80s and early 90s, where Colts really meant Count on Losing This Sunday.

I'm a bit excited for this season because I still have unrealistic optimism in Richardson, and I want to see how Warren does and to see if Latu will amount to being a great defender. Still, I'm not optimistic to think they'll win a Superbowl or anything, or even win a playoff game (just making the playoffs would be a bit miraculous), but this season is interesting to me as it does feel like this is the make or break year for a lot of critical positions/jobs, like Richardson's, Ballard's, and possibly Steichan's.

I see Richardson as progressing from last year. I think there is still a chance we get to root for and watch something special in this man. I'll admit to looking through rose colored glasses as far as Richardson and the Colts go but WTF its August. I have tons of time to get pissed and depressed if this goes south.

And now that's been cut in half

Say what you want about AR, but he makes it interesting out there.

I get why they are doing it, sort of, but how many more games does DJ realistically win us? 1 maybe 2, so still midling team drafting in a mid slot again. I doubt AR clicks and becomes an average passer, but if he were going to, being on the field is the only way it happens, not holding a clipboard for a failed QB.

I looked back at my earlier thought and it seems like DJ will get us a lot more than 1 or 2 more wins, mea culpa.
