NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports that Jim Caldwell will be fired as Colts head coach if the team finishes 0-16.

Citing several sources close to the situation, La Canfora reports that Caldwell will "unequivocally" be fired if Colts don't win one of their final three games. "If they don't win a football game," La Canfora said Wednesday, "they will be firing the head coach." Indianapolis' last three games are against the Titans (7-6), Texans (10-3), and Jaguars (4-9). Many of the Colts' veterans seemed to pack it in months ago, so the smart money is on Indianapolis finishing winless.

This situation highlights, if anything, the fact that football is a TEAM sport and the folly involved with building an entire team around one player.

Right. The problem started long before Caldwell took over. He got anointed HC by Dungy...did he earn it or did Dungy give it to his friend?

      We took Luke when we had Jon Beason, and a hurt Jonathon Brooks when we had Chuba. Just noting.  I don't think teams are going to pass up on an impact player regardlessly if whether they need something else. There's a good argument that drafting an inferior player, and especially an obviously inferior player, based upon need is a pathway to failure.  I'm glad we took Tetairoa McMillan even though there were arguably bigger needs.

      As much as I'd love Cam or Mahomes I'd also settle for a QB that is at least better than average at something other than 4th quarter comebacks/game winning drives. He's literally bottom third in the league in most categories (yards, completion percentage, int percentage/turnovers, YPA, IAYPA, QBR and QB rating) and right around average in a couple others, notably TD % where he is 15th and YAC/PA where he is 9th. If Bryce can improve I'll be happy with him. But all this stuff about us asking for perfection / insane ability is a bit ridiculous. Most of us "haters" just see a QB that is basically below average over his career to date and has shown relatively little consistency in his third year.  NFL offenses don't need 400 yards every week at all, but they do require a QB that can move the ball, and Bryce struggles often with that (hence why our overall offensive rank is so bad despite an overall good rushing rank).
