Good Post guys.
Fact is that no one is comparing the abilities of either - that will be the interpretation of people who do not want to be wrong , even when they are.
The Colts have devised a plan (let's call it a 5 year plan) and they have failed at it. Harrison was the first key to that plan. Drafted 5 years ago, he had a tremendous rookie season - following a couple of years later Manning burst onto the scene and also has had a tremendous career. Finally James was the product of the worst single season of the Colts and a very generous high draft pick.
They also choose a coach who screws the pooch every single post-season (sound familiar Mr. Schottenheimer?). Idiot moves like kneeling at the half and the end of the regulation time is as assinine as passing when your RB is averaging over 5 yards a carry.
The Colts have won less than the Chiefs in their 5 year plan (Check out their regular season record during that time) and achieved MUCH HIGHER draft picks than the Chiefs during their plan - therefore, they have accomplished even less.
To conclude, I am not bashing the Colts (I was born and raised in Indiana and actually like the team quite a bit), but rather am pointing out that if every team has a 5 year plan, then 26 teams in the NFL aren't worth a lick every five years (that is if no team wins the SB more than once in those 5 years).
