I do agree in principle with a new coaching staff evaluating each player on the roster with more-or-less a clean slate.  God knows we haven't had the stellar kind of coaches to develop players and maximize their skillsets.  I won't hold my breath that Thomas will amount to anything though.

Ron Rivera, Marty Hurney, Matt Rhule, Scott Fitterer, Frank Reich, Dave Canales, Dan Morgan. 

all I know, is if Ian Thomas shows up on the gameshow survivor...I'm betting my house on him to win.

This feels like a non-story to me.  TEs tend to take a bit to adjust to the position in the NFL so I'm not surprised Thomas would be ahead of Sanders at this point or even for this year.  Add in some fluff wording and, voila, offseason story.

Just like in the Brooks thread, I don’t care if Sanders starts off gangbusters but he damn well better be the starter by the end of the year. None of the offensive rookies has anything that should block their path to starting. If Tremble/Thomas/Hubbard/Sanders are good enough to keep their jobs, that rookie was a bad pick.

It just dawned on me that Ian Thomas is the 3rd longest tenured player on offense/defense, only behind Taylor Moton and Shaq Thompson (4th if you include special teams' JJ Jansen).  

And people wonder why we suck.

A competent franchise would have dropped him after his rookie contract.

A competent franchise would have had a better GM/drafting. Brown is legitimately the only above average starter we have drafted from 2020-2023 that has played more than 1/3 of our games and we’ve had picks 7, 8, 6, 9 and 1 to start. Truly incredible but that’s why Ian Thomas is even discussed in 2024.

I should buy his jersey.  Would put an end to that.

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
