If one of our scouts said it it's not true. It would be a smoke screen. No way we will tip our hand this early or 10 seconds before our turn in the draft. If another QB needy team is drafting behind us and say they know we are drafting QBa who they happen to be prioritizing they would trade to get in front of us in a heart beat. Anything that comes from our FO or anywhere else before the draft take as a grain of salt.
Might add the FO will probably droll all over JB till the draft to make it look we are all in for him, also.

Here would be my top 3 picks:
16. Jordan Love QB - Big and strong, (6'4 230) has good accuracy down the field. 64% Comp last season, 62% this season. Some of the throws I have seen him made with my eye test has me impressed. He should be there at 16. Just stay off the weed.
34. Neville Gallimore DT - Good against the run and pass, guy is a beast at 6'2 305. Should be there at 34. We need someone like this badly!
48. Antonio Gandy- Golden WR- 6'4 220, 4.5 speed. He will be there at 48 IMO and could be the hidden gem we need at WR. Great size, good speed. Thinking outside the box baby!
Like your thinken!!

The next man up saying can work a lot of times but asking someone to replace a franchise QB is a little much. Under the circumstances JB actually did ok.
Can you imagine someone telling Jim Sorgi, hey next man up if Peyton went down
. We would've been lucky to win 3 games with him.
Heh, the old Badger was ready.
The thing I was referring to was the statement that it took huge mental toll on him. Surprises me if true. I would have thought he would have wet his pants with excitement. Especially after getting a multi-million dollar raise.

I am not talking about the players. I am talking about a mental state of knowing your the starter from the start of camp. That SI article was pretty clear it took a huge mental toll on him.
Didn't JB hear about 'Next man up'? Prepare like you may be starting tomorrow. With Luck's injury history he should have always been ready if he's a good pro.

Or it’s like saying upgrade the intake, exhaust and advance the timing so the engine runs stronger by being more efficient
This engine has been around for 4 years now and around some pretty fair mechanics. You can only tune an engine so much but if the horsepower isn't there it might be time to look for a new engine if you ever want to win the race.

Yea I was thinking of getting Leonard don't know how she got Brissett
They were on a closeout sale!
At least it wasn't an Ebron jersey.

No, it's more like saying....I have the money for a great engine, but there are no for sure great engines available, and since I need some other things, I'll buy them now, and spend for a great motor when the time is right.
Fans want the Colts to go all in for a QB, regardless if it fails. I, however, believe that Ballard is smart enough to choose the right decision. But, should he choose to not go QB, I'm sure that the GM level brains in here will persecute him verbally.
I certainly don't want us to spend a ton on a slug but I feel that there are some very good prospects. I thought the question was what do we need, not what is available and I believe we need a QB bad but agree if there is nothing there when we draft we pass. I believe there will be,however, some good prospects available when we draft.
I don't think when anyone drafts any player they know for sure he is for certain going to be a great player. In spite of that they make the best choice they can rather than pass.

Well said and this follows what I am hoping for. The order is correct in my mind as far as importance/need.
That's like saying if the engine (QB) isn't running right you replace the body, tires, transmission, etc and then hopefully the engine will run better.

Just so everyone can see what everyone in the national media are thinking about the Colts.
Everyone in the national media? Just one guy. Been other articles that say the opposite.

He would make a great LB. That speed was unreal
He did make a great stop.

I think Harbaugh is a lot like JB. He picks his spots, doesn't make many mistakes and just wins.
Career 129 td vs 117 ints. Almost Winston like %?
22-28 -0 won loss record with Colts?

Just now, 2006Coltsbestever said:
97 ruined his record but it got us Peyton
My original question was define a game manager. You compared JB to Harbaugh and called them both game managers and I don't at all see the comparison as Harbaugh with his TD to INT ratio looks more like a gunslinger.

No I bet he wasn’t going anywhere. We didn’t have these issues last year. And isn’t it crazy with a new FG kicker no blocking errors.
Not really crazy. What does the FG kicker have to do with missed blocking assignments?

I am not sure why people count JB's 2017 season. He played for a crap team and everyone knows it, In 1995 and 96 Harbaugh was 20-15.

My research shows 14-12 and 2-2 in playoff game in 95 and 96, so16-14. My info I got off of pro football reference.
2-5 in 94 and 2-9 in 97.

It's not easy winning a SB, I remember Jim was close and he similar to JB as in a game manager. Both great leaders, just have trust our FO. Neither are Peyton or Luck so have patience.
Someone please define a game manager. You are saying Harbaugh and JB are similar and they were both game managers. If my reserch is correct, Harbaugh's career record in the NFL was 129 TD passes vs 117 INTs. Is that similar to JB and is that game management?
Edit: His won-lost record with the Colts was 20-26-0

I choose JB, many will hate for me that but it is what it is.
I'll take JB. Winston is a thug in my opinion.

I don't know. Many would call Jim Harbaugh a game manager, and he was only play away from the SB. Closer than Mr. Luck got, and according to the board now, him leaving is the reason we're not elite.
I was definitely a Mr. Luck fan. I hope you are not insinuating that he was an underachiever. He was 11-5 his first 3 years with no OL and limited support elsewhere but so be it.Your opinion is your opinion and I respect it although I may not agree with it.
I would disagree that Harbaugh was a game manager but he was, in my opinion, a real 'Gamer'. He may not have been the most gifted but he willed his team to win. Other than almost getting to the Super Bowl his record with the Colts was meh.

I honestly think no matter what Brissett does moving forward unless he wins the SB will never be good enough. You follow Peyton and Luck that is tough.
We once again agree. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try for another great one. Remember the old childhood saying "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again"? I think we keep trying and not settle for mediocrity.

How many SB's have the Colts won in the last 40 years with elite QB's?
I would guess one more than if we relied on game managers.

By the way there is no way in hell I would take Winston over JB, that dude is a turnover machine and has no leadership at all.
We agree on this one!
