From the article

When Taylor won the league's rushing title with 1,811 yards and earned a first-team All-Pro nod in 2021, the Colts failed to make the playoffs. When he overcame a high ankle sprain and still rushed for 1,431 yards across 14 games in 2024, the Colts failed to make the playoffs. When Taylor racked up 1,585 rushing yards and led the NFL with 20 total touchdowns in 2025, the Colts failed to make the playoffs.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Taylor's elite production hasn't translated to playoff success in five years.

Despite Taylor's elite individual production—rushing title in 2021, 1,431 yards in 2024, 1,585 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2025—the Colts have failed to make the playoffs in five consecutive seasons; the source argues Taylor is no longer the starting piece for a rebuilding franchise but rather the finishing piece for a contender, and that the Colts' dysfunction at quarterback (Daniel Jones regressed after injury), offensive line (weakened further by Nelson's trade), and wide receiver depth (Alec Pierce out with heel injury) have wasted his talent.
