Nah the Colts were just terrible with a subpar head coach.
The Colts that year were winless and the starting deep into the season and the starting QB was Curtis Painter. They locked down the #1 pick after week 15.
They then replaced Curtis Painter with Dan Orlovsky. Orlovsky then lead the team to 2 wins and they finished 2-14.
Curtis Painter never made another NFL roster. Not even as a backup. Orlovsky went on to be a backup in the NFL for another decade.
What would their record have been if Orlovsky had been the starter instead of Painter? 4-12? 5-11?
