Jake Ruddock?

[PrincetonTiger]

Just got a tweet from Ian Rappaport that said the Lions backup is drawing trade interest

[IndyScribe]

Would the Lions even trade him? Their 3rd QB is Brad Kaaya. Even if the Lions do trade him, his price is going to be sky high.

Agreed

Is he related to Razor Ruddock?

Ruddock shows how good Jim Harbaugh is at coaching up QB's.

 

I'm an Iowa fan and he started for the Hawkeyes for a couple years but got beat out by CJ Beathard.  (Who was drafted in the 3rd round).  

 

With Iowa he was pretty ho/hum as a QB.  Never really stood out for bad or for worse.  He transfers to Michigan and he's on ESPN highlights like every week and gets drafted.  

 

Of course Iowa's specialty is coaching up OL, TE and defense.  Not quarterbacks.

I'm sure the Colts will just roll with Tolzien.

Theres not enough time for a new guy to learn anything relevant to winning a football game.

Most people do not yet understand how much Jim Harbaugh elevates his players skill-sets. It has happened too many times to be a fluke. 

 

Jim Harbaugh is a little quirky, but he wins everywhere he goes. His players love him, and they play their butt's of for him. He turns average players into stars.

I doubt it's us. We have Tolzien and Morris. Those are our boys backing up #12 going into 2017. 

 

If Ballard even tried to bring in another quarterback this late I think Irsay would block him. It's simply too late to bring in another quarterback. We all saw what happened in 2011. Why repeat it?

It might be that he just elevates his QB's.  Since they are so important to the game it can really change the W/L column.

I was hoping he'd be there in the 7th round last year when the Colts drafted but he ended up going in the 6th.  Good QB who gets better under pressure.

He redshirted and played 3 years at Iowa, graduated and then transferred to Michigan for his senior season.

 

He was night and day better at Michigan then at Iowa.  

 

It's telling that you guys didn't know anything about his 3 years at Iowa.  That's how mediocre he was.

That really isn't significantly better than his years in Iowa.
