This article highlights a lot of what went wrong Reich's last year in Indy and boy does it sound a lot like what we have going on here.  A seasoned vet like Ryan still struggled in Reich's dated schemes.  He finished with 6.6 YPA 14 TDs 13 INTs in 12 games with a QBR of 44.9.  That's with Pittman as a solid WR and Taylor as a great RB.  Their wins were 20-17, 12-9, and 25-20 all low scoring and the one games they scored 36 was due to 5 FGS a special teams TD and a defensive TD.  He had one solid game against the Jags but outside of that it was a terrible year.

 Ryan was a seasoned vet at the end of his career and he couldn't survive in Reich's most recent offense.  We are now throwing a rookie QB in a very similar situation with possibly less weapons and expecting better results.  The quickest way to fix this mess is to move on from Reich like the Colts did and of course Fitt can follow him out the door for assembling this roster and hyping up how we were just a QB away...

I posted some highlights of the article below and tell me if it doesn't sound pretty damn familiar.

"The Colts' offense has been among the worst in the NFL. Ryan, 37, produced touchdown passes at the lowest rate of his 15-year career. Meanwhile, he threw interceptions more often than he has in any season since 2009. Most of all, the Colts (4-9-1) are enduring one of their worst seasons in the past decade."

In the season opener, Ryan was under consistent pressure. The only thing worse was the manner in which Ryan responded. He fumbled four times, losing one, and threw an ugly interception. Ryan's second-half heroics allowed the Colts to secure a tie and allowed Ryan to save some face.

But in Week 2, when the Colts were embarrassed again in Jacksonville in a 24-0 loss, it was becoming clear that maybe they weren't the team Ryan thought he was joining. By Week 7 against the Tennessee Titans, it was apparent the pass rush was getting to Ryan and severely impacting his decision-making. He was hit 10 times, sacked three times and threw a pick-six in the 19-10 loss. The synergy Ryan hoped to develop with his new teammates seemed nonexistent."

He had an adjusted QBR of 41.3 (23rd in the NFL at the time) and led the league with nine interceptions. But he'd also been sacked 24 times, and the Colts, shockingly, ranked 29th in yards per rushing attempt. Too much of the load was falling on Ryan. That was never the intention.

last year with Chargers, he lead the NFL shotgun %, run game was league worst with his predictable inside bologna, bullshit screens and predictable pass game.

said it from day 1.  He is an offensive Fox/Rivera. Talent has to overcome the fact everyone knows what is going.  And when you don’t have the talent to overcome his bad O…you get the end in SD, Indy and now here.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
