I hope this works out just as much as anyone else. However, until a coach proves they can consistently manage the traditional roles of the head coach and OC, I'm very skeptical. While I didn't watch them too much through the regular season, I noticed the Eagles relied on this guy to call plays as OC. He did it well, but he may not have had to be as big picture as a head coach doing both.
Shane Steichen will call plays, build Colts offense around QB
The Colts answered one big offseason question on Tuesday when they hired Shane Steichen as their new head coach and Steichen answered a couple of others during his introductory press conference.profootballtalk.nbcsports.com
As for a QB, one I think could be the diamond in the rough is Stetson Bennett. I don't see very many people talking about him as compared to others. But, as others have been stating something has to happen with that OL

I think there’s something like 17 “offensive” head coaches in the league and only like 2 don’t call plays themselves.

Oh I'm clear and obviously it can be done effectively. But like I said, until a coach shows they can do it without being predictable and stale or having it effect clock management I'm skeptical. From outside looking in it just seems like a bunch to keep balanced
Did Jim Irsay tip Colts' draft hand? - ProFootballTalk
The Colts haven’t had any luck in finding a long-term answer at quarterback since Andrew Luck’s unexpected retirement before the 2019 season. They have had seven starters in four years.They’ve tried free agency, the draft and the trade market.In the post-Luck era, the Colts are 31-34 with one...
Where will Derek Carr land?
“Earlier today, PointsBet updated their board. The Panthers are the favorites at +140, with the Saints (a team Carr visited last week) at +150.”
“Next are the Jets at +275, with the Buccaneers at +800, the Commanders at +1400, the Patriots at +1400, the Titans at +1800, the Colts at +2000, the Falcons at +2000, the Packers at +2000, and the Texans at +4000.”
“The Commanders won’t do it, based on coach Ron Rivera’s on-the-record comments from last week. The Patriots seem to be not an option, given that McDaniels didn’t do well ;ast season in Patriot Way West. And the Colts seem to be off the “veteran quarterback” wagon.”
“The Jets become intriguing, now that former Raiders quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator Todd Downing is the passing-game coordinator in New York.”
For the Panthers to be the favorite, the sports books must know something.

It would be kind of comical if Reich ends up with another retread QB.
Don’t laugh too much…Rodgers is gonna be available…and you know how Ballard likes “proven” quarterbacks.
Not this time. That ship has sailed and as CP says, Ballard is on the hot seat and the owner and fans alike want a young QB to build on.
I believe Rodgers needs up in Vegas…
Can Bryce Young take the beating at his size? I think history says no.
ESPN’s Todd McShay listed Will Levis as Carr’s anticipated replacement in his newest first-round pick predictions released Wednesday morning. He expects the Indianapolis Colts to trade up to No. 1 to take Alabama’s Bryce Young, followed by the Houston Texans taking Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud at No. 2.

Jeff Saturday: It was an absolute blessing to be the Colts interim coach and I look fondly upon it
The Colts elected to hire Shane Steichen as their head coach, which means it's the end of the line for interim coach Jeff Saturday.
Saturday is a pretty classy dude.
Don’t want that, seems like Fields 2.0. I want a pocket passer that can run when needed but not a consistent 70 yard rushing QB…

Hate to break it to ya, but there’s not one of those in this draft…

To expound on this point.
Young and Stroud are more the traditional pocket passers.
Levis and Richardson are the more athletic/mobile quarterbacks.
And honestly if any of those quarterback were in another draft year, I’m not sure any of them would be 1st rounders. It’s just a down year for QB’s.
The times I saw AR-15 play, I wasn't overly impressed.
Bryce has really good field vision and processes his options extremely well, and makes good decisions. I do have concerns about how much of a beating he can take when not behind an O line like he had at Alabama.

If he were 6’3” 220lbs, he’d be the clear #1. Unfortunately he is not…
Richardson is the biggest project but arguably has the highest upside. Does Ballard believe in his staff enough to draft the guy with freak traits and trust them to develop him to his full potential?
If it means anything, I think I saw Michael Pittman Jr put on Instagram that he wanted Stroud.
If the Colts draft him they will pay him to sit on the bench injured. Or he'll do just enough to get a huge contract before sitting on the bench injured. Either way injured.
ChristianPatriot
Grandmaster
Yeah not a lot of precedent for QB’s that small.
Who knows though, Luck was built like a tight end and he was injured a lot too.
