The Colts have made a change at quarterback, benching Matt Ryan for Sam Ehlinger. Insider Nate Atkins breaks the situation down.INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts are making an enormous change at the quarterback position, cutting their losses on veteran Matt Ryan after just seven starts and turning the job over to second-year quarterback Sam Ehlinger, a move that signals a monumental shift in the direction for the franchise.
“Extremely difficult decision, obviously, given the respect and admiration that we have for Matt Ryan,” Colts head coach Frank Reich said. “We know, at the quarterback position, that our poor production on offense is not on one person, it’s not on Matt Ryan, but we also know, Matt and I talked it through, as head coach and quarterback, ultimately, it doesn’t matter. I’m judged on wins and losses. Quarterbacks are judged on points, production and turnovers.
Ryan is expected to remain with the Colts as he rehabilitates his injury, presumably mentoring Ehlinger in his first season as a starter; but it’s clear the second-year quarterback is the man in Indianapolis going forward. Ehlinger has also been open about the fact that he is in the first year of a two-year process revamping his throwing motion with Tom House, and the second-year quarterback expected to develop behind Ryan and Foles this season.
