What we learned from the Colts’ 2019 season

Takeaways from the 2019 season.

The Indianapolis Colts truly had a season that was a tale of two halves. From starting the season 5-2 and looking like a playoff team to finishing the season 7-9 and being eliminated from the playoffs in Week 15.

It was a wake-up call for the Colts. The depth wasn’t as strong as they had previously thought. Injuries piled up quickly and at multiple spots across the roster. The quarterback play wasn’t anywhere near consistent enough to keep the Colts in contention. There were a lot of issues that arose quickly.

Quarterback questions?

Jacoby Brissett entered the season with a near-impossible task: Keep the Colts a playoff team while stepping in after the shocking blow of Andrew Luck’s retirement. It is a difficult situation to step into regardless. However, the Colts now have some questions coming at the quarterback position this offseason.

Brissett’s struggles were troubling for the Colts. It left many wondering if he had been slightly better, could they have been a playoff team for the second time in a row? But still, his second-half decline kept the Colts from reaching the postseason for the fourth time in the last five years.

Now, the Colts enter the offseason with plenty of options at the quarterback position. If they do address it, it would likely come in the form of a draft pick in April.
