The Colts’ coaching staff was enamored by Ryan in training camp, waxing poetic about his knowledge, leadership and “insane” accuracy. But the 37-year-old quarterback hasn’t exactly lit the league on fire during Indianapolis’ disappointing 1-2-1 start, posting a 5:5 touchdown-to-interception ratio and 85.0 passer rating.<\/p>\n

What I hope the Colts have learned through four weeks is that they are asking the veteran to do too much. He is averaging nearly 39 pass attempts per game — six pass attempts more per game than he had last season with a Falcons team that ranked 31st in rushing — and has fumbled nine times(!) already this season. <\/p>\n

At this stage of Ryan’s career, I believe less is more, especially given Indianapolis’ mediocre receiving corps. The Colts must find a way to get the ground game going with Jonathan Taylor — who’s battling an ankle injury and has struggled over the last couple games — and let Ryan be a complementary piece in Frank Reich’s offense, one who can execute critical drives when needed. Having Ryan throw it all over the yard isn’t playing to the Colts’ advantage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
