Thread: Food For Thought

Both the Broncos and the Colts have some big O-line problems. The Colts narrative seems to be that the O-line is terrible, the GM didn't spend enough resources there and it's hamstringing their QB. The Broncos narrative is that Manning is old and washed up.

I don't think either QB would be having a different season if they switched teams.

I think there are different narratives locally and nationally.

Seems to me the more popular narrative locally is that Kubiak is to blame for Manning's struggles and needs to let Peyton be Peyton. With a close second that the o-line is to blame for Manning's struggles. And a distant third is that Manning's physical skills have deteriorated.

Nationally those narratives are reversed. I think there is validity to all three versions.
