Stock up 📈:
Arden Key
Laiatu Latu
Deforest Buckner
Colts Run blocking
Stock down 📉:

AJ Haulcy
Daniel Jones
Linebacker room
Coaching staff
Chris Ballard
Mike Vrabel in his 1st year in New England.
Mike Macdonald in his 2nd year in Seattle.
Curt Cignetti in his 2nd year at Indiana.
A whole lot of owners and athletic directors looking around saying “why can’t we do that?”
Expectations of immediate results have never been higher.
The Ravens, Steelers, and Bills are all perennial playoff teams who let go of their head coaches because just getting to the postseason wasn’t good enough.
The Colts retained everyone, hoping Year 10 will be different, despite just two playoff appearances since 2018.
@NateDunlevy Absolutely. More agreeing with the sentiment of owner being part of problem. FEELS (I can only articulate what I see/think!) like Irsay has internalized Polian's work as his own, stood on his past GM laurels, and made a lot of, um, decisions.
