They had tons of cap space until their young GM spent a ton of money on mediocre Free Agents this offseason. And they are already down next year's 1st round pick because they traded for a running back who averages 2.8 ypc and was benched for Donald Brown. They will win a division title by default, but nobody is turning down jobs out of fear of the Colts.

Wish we were 2-3 in our last 5 games, but yea the Colts do seem to be fading at the worst time of the year: sounds a lot like the '12 Texans doesn't it ?
And I'm with you about the Richardson pick, that decision was a real puzzler ? Too many good backs out there and too many to become available in future Drafts
to expend a first-round pick on.
Nevertheless, as the only team in the whole division which is not only set but in really good shape at QB with one of the best young signal-callers in the league, I definitely believe they have a leg-up on the competition. Having a QB now and for a long-time into the future is not everything in this league, but it's a substantial and more important necessary part of everything needed to succeed.
