There are important NFL players and then there are the players who shoulder the fate of their teams based on day-in, day-out performance during the season. These are the latter. Here are the 3 Players Who Will Make Or Break The Indianapolis Colts' 2015 Season.
QB Andrew Luck
Luck is on this list soley because of how vital he is to the Colts success, and if he gets hurt, their season will go down the drain. 2015 just feels the year where Luck's ascent to superstardom meets Super Bowl glory. With former 49ers legend Frank Gore at his disposal in the running game and a couple of explosive new receiving targets in Andre Johnson and Phillip Dorsett, Luck has a full clip of ammunition to rain pinball-like scoring numbers on NFL defense. The Colts are early AFC favorites and Luck's a GIGANTIC part of that.
RB Frank Gore
Gore was brought into finally give the Colts a viable running game to complement their potent passing attack, without a lot of depth at the position, Indy needs him to produce and stay healthy. He hasn't see his production dip despite being 32 years old, and the Colts can't afford for his decline to start now.
OL Gosder Cherilus
The Colts employed a revolving door of offensive-line looks in 2014, but Indy appears to have a concrete first team in place with Castonzo, Mewhort, Holmes, Herremans, and Cherilus -- provided Cherilus can come back fully healthy. Such continuity is going to be critical to Indianapolis getting maximum efficiency and pop out their Death Star arsenal of offensive studs, but Cherilus needs to play at full strength if that's going to happen.
