Re: Around the NFL week 10
I think the Colts may be an example of leadership/motivation playing a big role in their success. On paper, outside of Luck, many pundits had them labeled as one of the worst teams in the league. Now I am not saying that they have a bunch of nobodies (they do have the likes of R. Wayne and Freeney), but they are a very young team with a roster that wasn't impressing anybody.
I believe from day one, that coaching staff (Pagano and then Arians) have had that team playing with an us against the world attitude. And while I am not going to say that leadership/motivation will overcome utter lack of talent; I do feel that leadership/motivation has brought the best out of a team that really wasn't expected to do much. Unless something goes completely wrong, I could easily see them going 9-7 or easily 10-6.
