Dude had 3 daughters and was supposedly mentoring 1 to be his eventual successor. He planned for the team to stay in the family. Sounds like a recipe for a power vacuum. 
 

With that said, I was never really a fan of him, but I do hope he went peacefully and condolences to his family.

He seemed like a somewhat cool dude, much cooler than Tepper or JR. He did bring Indy a team and a Super Bowl (largely due to timing of getting Manning, but still), but I didn’t think he was a great owner, has had the drug issues, etc. RIP. Wonder if his family will sell his sweet guitar collection

If anything, only getting 1 SB when you had Manning for that long should be a negative on his legacy, just like it was for the Saints to only get 1 with Brees and the Packers to only get 1 each with Favre and Rodgers.

I know it's hard to win a SB, but these are basically 4 of the 10 best QB's of all time and combined to win 4 SB's in a combined 60 seasons worth of being a starting QB for those franchises.
