Luck retiring!!!!

[ArrylT]

Kirk Cousins is happy that Luck retired. He can now call himself a top 10 NFL QB.

There is a silver lining to every story.

Guessing that this makes the Doyle/Ebron debate easier.....take neither

Doyle actually had his best year with Brissett - but it is definitely going to depend on how good their connection remains and how much the Colts need him to block.

This is a great insight.

Doyle's 2017 was his best turning in a 80-690-4 on 108 targets. This was the year Luck missed and Brissett played the entire year. Doyle was his safety valve.

Saw Brissett say something the other day about working to develop chemistry with a bunch of Colts, and he explicitly mentioned Ebron. Struck me as odd. Then I realized he didn't mention Doyle because the dude *already* has chemistry with Jack Doyle having played an entire year with him.

Net? Doyle is the TE to own in Indy. He's once again the underdog, a role he seems to pay off consistently.

Wonder how long it takes the colts to sign Brissett to a long term extension - before season start? LOL

All retired early/young team

QB: Luck
RB: Sanders
WR: Megatron
TE: Gronk

How come we say Megatron retired too early but nobody mentions Doug Baldwin? Both retired at 30 years old.

1. Baldwin is not remotely on the same level as Megatron as a player/talent.

2. Doug Baldwin played 13 games in 2018 while dealing with injuries. He had played in all 16 games the prior 5 seaons. Megatron retired rather abruptly to the outside eye, he played through a myriad of injuries that we didn't really see or know the severity of.

Fixed that for you.

He's by far the biggest winner of Luck's retirement

And I'm the biggest loser!! So many SF and 2 QB shares UGH!

I'd say the TE position may still have value with Brissett, that includes Ebron and Doyle. Ebron being the superior athlete, I'd go with him to return better receiving numbers.
The only thing Doyle has going for him is he is the better blocker and plays more. He is not nearly as dynamic in the passing game. So don't go too crazy over Doyle. Also in 2017, there were limited options to throw the ball to. Don't simply take Doyle's 2017 numbers and apply them to the 2019 Colts team.

Agreed, 2017 Colts were TY, moncreif , Frank Gore(who isn't know as a pass catcher for the most recent half of his career), (baby marlon Mack), and doyle

2019 Colts have TY, Campbell, Ebron, big time Mack, and doyle.

While it's not bonifide top tier pass catchers all the way through like CLE, this would be a solid group without Doyle. Doyle is good, but won't see the same #s at 2017

Brissett in 2017 was thrown into a very tough spot, however, 2019? I don't think he has much of an excuse if he plays badly. He's no Luck, but he certainly has the pieces around him to be successful.

If I'm starting Brissett in a 2QB/SF, I'm also grabbing Hoyer or Swag Kelly.
