Consider the fact that former Panther Chris Reed is a starting LG on the Colts it makes me wonder if talent evaluation is also the problem. https://www.si.com/nfl/colts/film/chris-reed-strong-game-against-panthers

It is a fair question at this point for sure.

Thinking a proper coach could tell these guys something and they'd be like, "Ohhh! I've never thought of that, coach!", and then turn into elite talent is silly. It's okay to blame the players from time to time. The O-Line sucks, period.

The article also shows that he did some good things for the Panthers last season and probably would be a better option over Daley, Miller, and Elflein.

There's a reason he was a backup on the colts.  You can show good blocks by any blocker like those in that article.  It was a fluff piece about a LG backup in preseason on a team that is now 1-4, and believe it or not, has a HIGHER pressure% than we do.  I'm not anti Reed.  Its a stretch to say he's better than anybody at this point.

Pessimists think things can’t get any worse.  Optimists know that they will.

I mean both Miller and Paradis played better (not great, but better) last year. Something is off…

did Teddy get rid of the ball faster than Darnold?

Well, it depends on which way you think is up.
