So you think the Colts won't select a quarterback? Or you think they'll select one and then give up on him after 1 year?

The most frequent margin of victory in the NFL is 3 points. "Premier" or not, kicker is one of the most impactful positions, as it directly contributes to scoring and wins/losses. What they gave him is in line with the market for elite kickers. Good signing.

We can call him mobile if you prefer. I'm not sure there's a clear line between mobile and "dual threat". In my mind, a dual threat is just someone who can make things happen as a runner when the passing game breaks down. But if the standard is that you have to be "dangerous" at both, then I think there are very few dual threats in the league, period. You're basically looking at Hurts, Allen, Jackson, and MAYBE a couple others. Someone like Fields, for example, is a very capable runner, but has just OK passing stats, and is definitely nowhere near the passer that Mahomes is. Does that mean that Fields is not a dual threat because he's not an elite passer? The standard goes both ways.

Not all "dual threats" are created equal. Mahomes, Hurts, Fields (and Young) are all dual threats but very different quarterbacks. Irsay's comments don't preclude him liking some other "dual threat", like Levis. He can admire one QB or another and at the same time not think that QB is the right fit for the Colts.

When it comes to the franchise quarterback, Irsay is the one who has to really want Fields. My feeling is that Fields' style doesn't map onto the Colts' vision for the future. Maybe I'm wrong, We'll see.

He's basically had one good year. Will he continue on that next season? Will he regress? No, I wouldn't take him. He hasn't really established himself on a consistent year-to-year basis.

I'm happy with the outcome too, except I don't think any of the quarterbacks in the draft are clear no-brainers to the point you'd give up a lot of draft capital to move up.

There's just no way they're gonna do anything in the playoffs, not with that defense.

I knew the Vikings were overrated, but damn! This is just ridiculous! Colts are doing everything they can to inch closer to the middle of the draft.

But probably not as many of these:

And the receiver is only as good as the quarterback.
