It’s a good thing Goldilocks only had a few options in that famous fairy tale because picking the right quarterback is far more difficult. Some have a strong arm but aren’t accurate. Some are too short. Some have the tools but aren’t athletic enough. No player is perfect unless the future brings us robot quarterbacks built in a lab. However, some teams are better than others when it comes to picking the right human version.
The Browns and Jets may be the most notable teams to fail miserably at finding a signal-caller, but don’t count out the Colts. In recent history, Indianapolis has lived a fairly charmed NFL life, going from Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck. Since Luck’s surprise retirement in the summer of 2019, the Colts have gone from AFC contender to a team embracing living up to its flyover state label.
“This is our Colts” has become a popular rallying song for fans thanks to social media. The reality is that their Colts are a team stuck in the middle, arguably the worst place to be. Not good enough to win it all. Not bad enough to truly bottom out. In what has become a list that’s reached ten quarterbacks in just six years, the Colts are leaving no stone unturned as they try to find a quarterback solution. Here’s a look at everyone who’s started for the horseshoe since the team’s Luck ran out.
