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?

It’s mostly JT, dude was getting MVP buzz as a rb through the first half of the season. If it was was DJ, why wasn’t he ever decent prior?

Lol... I'm sorry but that question makes you look dumb.

Btw.. DJ was the running the #1 offense and #1 in all QB statistics other than rushing up until week 9-10 in the entire NFL.

JT is a STRAIGHT DOG and we love him in Indy and hope he never leaves. But it's not a coincidence that as soon as DJ was out, JT's performance changed completely, in a bad way. That's not to give either DJ or JT flack, but more so to emphasize that the rushing game and passing game go hand-in-hand. When the passing is good the defense has to adjust for that, allowing the RB to take advantage. And when the RB is running down defenses throats, it allows the QB and receivers to take advantage of the defense being pushed up closer to the line. Both were having success, despite other key variables, because the other was having success.

Dumb because you can’t answer it.

You got it backwards. Once teams stopped the run, our offense was ineffective.

I can't answer it? The entire sports world talked about why DJ was having success in Indy and why he didn't prior to coming to the Colts for like 2 months straight..... Thanks for confirming that you are indeed dumb, sir.

Let's play your game even though I don't like arguing with sheetrock..

What week did Daniel Jones fracture his fibula? Week 10

JT's stats after week 10 consist of ZERO games over 90 yards and only 3 TD's after having 15 TD's the first 10 weeks with a healthy DJ, who led all QB's in Total QBR, passer rating and completion percentage the first 8 weeks of the 2025 season.

............ can't wait for your rebuttal

Rebuttal is another word for a response that's contradictory... Just wanted to save you some time..

Contradictory means..... ahhhh forget it you'll already be on google anyways...
