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.
I did not state it well, but my point is Luck may have issues and may digress his QBR in 2015, but it will not mean he has peaked or getting worse. As you mentioned a few reason and I agree they may not be as good on paper as the experts predicted (skill players), but their OL in my opinion is the bigger issue. It is hard for any QB to look elite when they get hit 30 to 40% of the time when they try and pass.
As far as TY, he is extremely fast and quick. He is also hurt and not 100% right now (knee). Johnson and Gore may be on the wrong side of 30, we will see as the year progresses. All I know is they should be 1-3 now or possibly 0-4.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
