I have seen that and I am not buying. The 6-10 win range for me is a legit starting NFL QB, something I am not sure Brissett is.
They went 10-6 last season with a franchise QB, I think there is a significant drop off between Luck and Brissett. Are the Colts that much better overall to make up that gap?
They also started 1-5 with a bunch of rookies playing key roles on defense/O-line Luck coming back from missing an entire season. Once things started to click, Luck got comfortable/confident, the O-line gelled, they won 9 of their last 10 and rolled over the Texans on the road in the playoffs, before getting spanked in Kansas City.
This year they were looking to be legit Super Bowl contenders with a healthy Luck at the helm. The drop-off between Luck to Brissett isn't 5 wins. The O-Line is one of the best in the league, they've got plenty play makers at WR and Tight End, Reich looks like an excellent coach, and their defense should be in the top half of the league with upside for more due to its youth.

Good luck to him.

From Rotoworld with Rotoworld comments:
Colts senior offensive assistant Howard Mudd stepped down.
This might be the last time he's in the coaching world now that he's 77 years old. Mudd has been in the NFL for 39 years, including 12 seasons on the offensive line with the Colts. Sudden retirement has been a problem in Indy recently.

One if the three greatest Offensive Line Coaches in the history of the NFL, his effectiveness disappeared a decade ago. This was long overdue. The Colts have a history of hanging onto Coaches too long (though they have nothing on the Bengals).

When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.
Yes. I know he was an Offensive Assistant. When he was still an Offensive Line Coach several years ago, the game had passed him. That's the comment I made. That's the comment I am repeating.
And, yes, even if you don't know him very well, many people do. One of the three greatest Offensive Line Coaches in the history of the NFL is officially stepping away from the game. This needs to be announced for those like you who don't know this. Mudd is an icon in the NFL world, as respected as anyone in the league.
