Reggie Wayne: Blame Colts front office, not Andrew Luck

The question on the minds of most in Indianapolis is what's ailing the Colts?

Former Colt legend Reggie Wayne believes he knows the source of their problems, and it's not quarterback Andrew Luck.

"I honestly think Andrew Luck is playing pretty good despite some of the O-line woes that they're having. A lot of people are wanting to criticize Andrew Luck instead of what I think the big problem is. I think that big problem is a lot of their front-office decisions," Wayne said Tuesday on NFL Network, according to Scott Horner of The Indianapolis Star.

"It's draft picks, or it's free-agent pickups. They've missed on a lot of guys. In free agency, they got a LaRon Landry and got rid of Antoine Bethea, who was a Pro Bowler. That was a swing and a miss. Arthur Jones hasn't found his way in there yet. They have Trent Cole, who's now out (with an injury). He hasn't given them anything."

Wayne wasn't done there. He went on naming Colts that have flamed out, including offensive lineman Todd Herremans, former first-round pick Bjoern Werner, center Khaled Holmes, and running back Trent Richardson.

"They've used their money to get guys who didn't do anything," Wayne said.

Many of those acquisitions can be traced back to general manager Ryan Grigson. His tenure may not end any time soon as he signed an extension until 2019 in the offseason.

It didn't take long for those Wayne named to respond. Cole took to Facebook to offer a rebuke.
