‘God Help Us’: Colts’ QB Trend Draws Strong Reactions From Fans

The Indianapolis Colts’ ongoing quarterback carousel has left fans frustrated and concerned, with many expressing strong reactions to the team’s lack of stability at the position. Since Andrew Luck’s sudden retirement in 2019, the franchise has cycled through 11 starting quarterbacks, struggling to find a long-term solution.

The latest announcement that Daniel Jones will take over as the starter for the 2025 season has only added to the uncertainty. While Jones brings experience, his addition signals a lack of confidence in Anthony Richardson, who was once viewed as the team’s future. Fans and analysts alike are questioning Indianapolis’ ability to develop and stick with a consistent leader under center.

Luck’s departure left a void that the organization has failed to fill, with each new quarterback bringing a temporary fix rather than a permanent solution. From Jacoby Brissett to Carson Wentz, and even veteran options like Philip Rivers and Matt Ryan, none have provided the consistency needed for sustained success. The constant turnover has hindered team chemistry and halted any hopes of long-term growth.

Reactions from fans highlight the frustration of watching a team unable to replicate its former stability. Many point to Luck’s early retirement as the turning point, as Indianapolis has struggled to maintain competitiveness in the years since. Critics argue that the team’s reliance on short-term fixes has only prolonged their rebuilding phase.

Fans have shared their thoughts about Indianapolis’ string of quarterback choices after Luck retired from the team in 2019. These reactions can be seen in a post shared by Bleacher Report on Instagram.

“God help US,” a fan pleaded. “We are now that franchise,” another added.

A supporter mentioned, “It’s rough being a colts fan 😞 def gotta say old Phillip Rivers was our best QB of this bunch.”

“They should have kept Carson Wentz,” a follower remarked.

“Divine punishment for the way the colts fans treated Andrew luck,” a commenter posted.

“I can’t keep up no more idk if I’m even a fan anymore,” a sixth social media user reacted.

The lack of continuity has also impacted other aspects of the roster, including the offensive line, which relies heavily on consistent leadership from the quarterback position. Without stability, the franchise risks wasting the prime years of key players like Quenton Nelson.
