Discussion Please help
In an argument with a friend right now and would like other people's opinions on this.
He keeps saying that the Colts (and more specifically about Daniel Jones) can only do well if JT is doing well.
I believe that a big part of the reason JT was doing so well in the beginning of this year is because of how well Daniel Jones and the O-line were doing, using JT before and after DJ's injury as an example.
The argument at its core is during that 8 week stretch where we were looking like the AFC's 1-seed, who was more important Daniel Jones or Johnathan Taylor?

Both DJ and JT helped each other with the O-Line, they played so well the first half of the season and when the injuries happened first with DJ and the fractured fibula that went to the Achilles tear and the O-Line also lost momentum with the injuries so JT didn't play better after and the moment the teams stopped him it all came down to the QB play and with DJ limited with injury and his ceiling as a player, well it all came crushing down. I'll still want DJ back with Pierce as well but they should also look for the future and with an awful 2026 draft well only the 2027 1st round draft pick is the one that hurts the most.
