If I am a guessing man, I predict Luck may have trouble this year (matching his best QBR so far) and he has a loaded cast around him of skill players. In fact, many experts said he had the best skilled players in the league before the year started.
A lot of us said we were curious how AD would perform with a healthy skilled group. So far, he has been amazing. So far, our skilled players have also been amazing.
To be fair, people were just projecting Luck to have a great supporting cast, but I don't think that team is as good as it was on paper over the offseason. Most people weren't taking into consideration just how absolutely terrible that line would be, and also that signing guys like Frank Gore and Andre Johnson would have sounded a lot better a few years ago.
I've always said that T.Y. Hilton was overrated (still hold that opinion) and I still think it's ridiculous that some people on here were claiming that he's better than A.J. Green.
I was one of the guys that had the Colts penciled in as easily the #1 skill position team in the league (whoops), but they aren't putting it on the field this year. WTS, I still think they have 2 great TEs, but they need to be on the field and actually producing for it to mean anything. Outside of that, a lot of us around the football world were seemingly wrong about that team.
