Monday night, Luck was outplayed by a dude from Harvard with a big beard and a small arm and no business outplaying Andrew Luck. But that's what journeyman Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick did. He outplayed Luck.
Nobody's good on this 2015 Indianapolis Colts offense – not the quarterback or the running backs or the receivers. Not the offensive line. Not the offensive coordinator, either.
Offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton is not very good.
He's very popular, I get that. But for years he has been riding Luck's coattails – you ask me, it started at Stanford – and now that Luck is struggling, let's be consistent and attach Hamilton to those muddy coattails too.
And then there's the whole Phillip Dorsett thing. No, Hamilton didn't draft the receiver. But Hamilton's the one who decided to work Dorsett into the offense in the preseason at every receiver position. To make him more versatile, or something. Dorsett is well-rounded, all right: He doesn't know what he's doing from any position. He and Luck aren't reading from the same page. Not sure they're reading from the same (play)book.
Dorsett is a more athletic Hakeem Nicks, meaning, he's clueless about where to go but at least he gets wherever he's not supposed to be quickly.
