The Truth about the Colts

The truth is they are a great team, a great team with great problems. The most overbearing of all of these problems is Joseph Addai. The word overrated does not do justice to how over valued he truly is. The Colts rank in the top 5 probably even the top 3 best ran organizations in the league. They are perennial Playoff contenders and have one of the best (if not the best) coaching staffs in the league. In my opinion the loss of the great Tony Dungy will not hamper the Colts ability to remain a good team. I say good because they are good not great. The reason is simple, Joseph Addai.

I can't help but wonder if Joseph Addai had played better against the Chargers in the playoffs if it would have been an Indianapolis and Arizona Super Bowl. The problem of Joseph Addai is too large to ignore. When he was drafted he was compared to Barry Sanders because of his stutter stepping in the backfield and then his burst to get out of the backfield, but there is a difference, Barry Sanders was productive. Addai is a one hit wonder and can be traded to benefit the future of the franchise. 

This upcoming draft class is heaven for teams that need a RB. The Colts need to look at Lesean McCoy or Beanie Wells in the early rounds and Rashad Jennings in later rounds. This is an opportunity for the Colts to win a Super Bowl once again and get Peyton Manning his well deserved rings.
