Colts 2008: 12-4, playoffs
Colts 2009: 14-2, SB Appearance
Colts 2010: 10-6, Division Champion
Colts 2011: 2-14, chose to start Curtis Painter (6th rounder), Dan Orlovsky (5th rounder), and 39-year-old Kerry Collins. Everyone knew they could have easily found better. None of the 3 ever started a game in the NFL again.
The entire left side of the colt's 2010 O-line was replaced with rookie starters in 2011.
Plus the 10 win 2010 Colts were not a good team at all. The were a bad team that was carried by the greatest QB of all time. They were 29th in rushing and 23rd in defense.
