I'm in the camp that the Colts were gifted two generational talents and haven't done a ton to put players around them, but I won't fault Grigson for trying. Prior to this offseason, trading picks for players was almost never seen, and Grigson made two relatively large splashes: Richardson and Davis. While the Richardson trade has been a catastrophe in hindsight, I remember thinking at the time that the Browns, not the Colts, were the ones who had been fleeced. Less than 18 months after Richardson was drafted 3rd overall (as "the surest thing since Peterson") the Colts managed to acquire him for the 22nd pick (or something in that range). You can't judge the outcome, only the process.

Addressing Johnson and Gore: I agree with Hawk on Johnson but disagree on Gore. Johnson is teetering between two outcomes: declining skills due to his age or a rebirth after escaping a terrible situation. Because of the points Hawk mentioned, I think it's the former. There was underlying ability that was crushed by incompetent quarterback play. As for Gore, I think that there are very, very few RBs who have performed well at 32 and even fewer at 33 and 34, so that one is going to look bad in a few years unless he retires, though cutting him after the second year isn't exactly the nuclear option.

It's the way the Colts have tried that I've been faulting. I think it was the wrong move to give a first round pick for a running back just because he was drafted third. He's still a running back. What another team drafted a player for is irrelevant. Part of the reason I compared Colts management to Bills management is that the Bills just traded a lot of draft picks to move up for Sammy Watkins last year. Those sort of moves are the most anti-Belichick moves a franchise can make.

It'll be weird not having him in the league but I'm glad he's not trying to string out his career a little longer on other random teams.
