COLTS TICKETS

Intentionally yes. But if you go with let's say Will Anderson if he is there and ride it out with the current Qb roster you may have a chance at getting to one next year. -
So, I have been pretty open and transparent that for the Colts, what we will likely run, and how i think they will likely evaluate these guys, I would rank the big 4 (in terms of fit and what i would want to see): Stroud, Richardson, Levis, Young. All that being said, the total angst for Levis is insane. I have come around to sell myself on him simply because I believe Stroud will be gone and if it comes down to Richardson and Levis I have a much easier time believing the Colts would draft Levis over Richardson. I know that many, many analysts and fans and twitter warriors love the athleticism and the upside of Richardson. And I totally get it. But here is the thing: As much as Richardson's tools, upside and testing numbers are what is elevating him, people say what truly holds him back is the lack of experience, completion percentage/inaccuracy, etc. Here is something nobody really says: What if the "only 13 games" thing on Richardson is actually helping him instead of hurting him? If Richardson went back to school next year and had a terrible year (think what some people say of Levis' 2022 vs his 2021), Richardson would likely fall completely out of any first round consideration and any franchise QB talk. I would argue the fact that he doesn't have experience yet is helping his stock. People can still talk about "what he could be" since he hasn't fallen on his face yet. This is the exact reason why I am actually OK with Levis. Things could not have gone much worse for him last season and yet he is still absolutely considered a 1st round QB and in many circles still a top-10 pick. I wonder where he would rank amongst prospects if he had that 2021 season this past year. If we were evaluating his 2021 and his upside shown in 2021 compared to the other 3 then i think he is seen in a much different light. Also, Richardson may have some baseline of a floor w his rushing that is decent like the clip that @Restinpeacesweetchloe posted from Mina Kimes and RGIII backing Richardson. But here is the thing. Look at all of the criticism that was heaped on Lamar Jackson and Justin Fields and guys like them that people claimed were "RBs playing QB." And both of them were much more established throwing the ball coming out compared to Richardson. Every year it is said to "ignore what you hear during draft season" because so much misinformation and shiftiness happens as agendas are pushed and as teams jockey to elevate guys they dont want and depress guys that they do want. To me it is telling that Richardson's stock has catapulted sky high during the draft season when basically everyone knew he was going to test as an all-time elite combine specimen. Yet when the college season ended he was seen as a pick maybe in the teens or early 20s based on possible upside. Now everywhere has him top-5. Levis was seen in that top-5 to top-10 range to start and is now falling. Nothing has changed w their tape. Nothing has changed with injuries. These guys are the same guys they were months ago and yet the narrative is so different now. Just doesn't sit right with me. It is the reason why i think we hear whispers that "teams and evaluators probably have Levis a lot higher than draft analysts, media and fans do". At the end of the day, I am in agreement with a bunch of the fans in our forum that think "give me the guy with the greatest upside and the highest high and let's hope we help him reach that consistently". That is why most folks want Richardson (myself included). But I would be remiss to not say that Levis' considerable upside is just a tick below Richardson in my eyes. If we end up drafting either Richardson or Levis I think both of them could have top-10 NFL QB upside if they can realize their potential. But for both of them that will be a big IF. -
Its a move that would get everyone fired plus if found out they would take away the pick -
Me too. I dont see how it's a loser mentality when it sets you up to win for the next decade possibly. The loser mentality is drafting player out of desperation that can ultimately set the team back.
