The Colts made the playoffs last year after a 2-14 season in 2011. Improved by 9 wins. Should we expect less from seasoned vet Alex Smith than we saw from rookie Andrew Luck?

You don't trade what equates to a first round pick for a 29 year old quarterback you intend to pay 10 million per year to... to win 7 or 8 games.
When you trade a first round pick for a 29 year old ANYTHING in football, you need to EXPECT immediate results. If it's gonna take a year to get up to speed, then what is gonna be the next argument against just taking a quarterback first overall with intentions of sitting him for a year? Can anyone answer me that? |

Coaching matters a lot. It's assignment football. Do you know why the Niners came away losers in the Super Bowl? Because coaching called for 4 straight throwing plays when they had a first down and goal on the 5 yard line when they had Frank Gore and Delainie Walker. Lots of other examples.

Dalton Wilson Ryan Rothlisberger Brady RG3 Luck Flacco I could go on.... Shit, shouldn't going from Romeo to Reid give us 2-3 wins? We just dropped a ****ton of cash in free agency...that should get us a win or 2, right? Adding a 29 year old "franchise quarterback" (which is consistent with the compensation that was given up) to this equation makes anything less than a playoff birth a complete and total failure. |

Well, Luck was talent that was worthy of being selected 1/1, so this is...

Then you have not been listening to the cynics at all. The cynics (such as myself) recognize that Alex Smith will play us straight to first-round playoff exit mediocrity. And then we will never again be in position to draft a franchise QB who can actually take us to the dance.

Given the coaching staff and talent, I'd say 9 or 10 wins. Our arrow is pointing up!

Developmental years are for draft picks, not 29 year old players that you trade first round picks for and pay 10 million a year on. This team will go as far as Alex Smith takes it. The rest of this team is pretty talented. |
