I think everyone need to realize he will at least be the QB in 2020. I also disagree that it is hard to find a good QB, which JB is. It is very hard to find a GREAT QB. 
 

I just think everyone shouldn’t be shocked if Ballard continues to build around JB as QB. Aka get more weapons. He has always said the team is not about one player. This doesn’t mean he won’t take a QB, but won’t take one if he has a player rated higher than QB. 
 

it will be an interesting offseason. 

He is not a good starting quarterback he's a good backup 

[2016 Lindy's review of Brissett]

will be interesting off season ,I think Ballard and Reich know he's not answer.But that's not a lock ,some teams are looking for decades.Sadly,brisett could be quarterback in 2020 because good quarterbacks are so hard to find .

Kelly a fine Irish lad ,doing his thing lol

This unit is going to be elite.Now we need offensive  help .In the last 20 years it was offense carrying defense .

[Fullback?]

Lol ,run the wishbone that's one way to get rid of Jacoby .

Watson,Tannehill,Foles ,kelly and finally brisett

[Chad Kelly time]

I just saw something on team stream from Kevin Bowen .On brisett's two picks a completely clean pocket .Not much more to say especially when u see the wide open guys In Texans game he didn't hit .

Some people have a comparison to Mahomes with Love and I don't know about that his completion rate in his last game against New Mexico was just over 50% that isn't good at all unless im wrong the league average is 63% if he cant do that or better than he is even worst than what we have.

That's why it's best to let Ballard   Do his job ,we all think we know but we don't know and never will ,lol. A shoutout to a jim Mora meltdown .

I think maybe you're exaggerating the viewpoint of "the crazies." 

 

But while I agree that this roster would probably look different if the staff knew JB would be the starter, I don't think JB is the kind of QB that this staff should build around. Could they be better with him? Sure. But sooner than later, I think it will be JB holding this team back, and I hope the staff puts a plan in place to upgrade that position, because it's still critically important.

I just believe in Ballard and I think he will get us to the promised land

I didn't say he had a hand in drafting Mahomes. I said he was there for some of the scouting and strategy involved in drafting Mahomes.

 

And that's not really related to whether he has made any decisions that show his ability to evaluate QBs.

 

Hoyer was an emergency signing at the 11th hour. Brissett was an emergency trade at the 11th hour. Neither of them necessarily indicate what Ballard values in a QB (and they're both dramatically different, in almost every respect, as players). Ballard has never drafted a QB. 

 

So saying 'I don't know if Ballard knows how to evaluate QBs, look at JB and Hoyer' is pretty absurd. 

Wow ,luck retired 2 weeks before season .And is stuck with,Brissett and hoyer .And that's Ballard's fault ?what would you have him do?You said he has yet to prove he can evaluate quarterbacks and all I said is he was in on mahomes .Which tells me has the ability .

My comment above has nothing to do with Mahomes. What are you talking about?

You said he has yet to prove himself in evaluating quarterbacks,and he had a hand in drafting mahomes .what part are you talking about ?

No question the WR position needs to be better. Need a solid #2 and someone who can produce YAC (and stay on the field; still might be Parris Campbell, but he hasn't had a good first season in that regard). 

 

But there's nothing easy about finding a good QB, and there's definitely nothing lazy about making a change at the most important position in team sports. Better QBing would go a long way for the Colts, as it would for every other team that doesn't have above average QBing.

 

 

Neither of them indicate Ballard's ability to evaluate QBs.

I might be wrong but wasn't he involved in the trading up for mahomes . So if so your wrong

Foles is not necessarily better than Brissett.

 

If you're going to make a move like that it should be for a clear and obvious upgrade.  Foles is not that.

Well coughlin paid him like one .

What is the possibilities of the Colts aquiring Foles. I think he IS A WAY better QB than Brissett. Much higher cieling and has history with Riech. Maybe we push for him and he can be the right guy for us.

I started that a few weeks ago ,makes sense .Relationship with Reich and maybe the long layoff  has led to some rust .Would love to bring in to challenge brisett .Problem is I highly doubt he gets outright released because of that huge contract .But one never knows .

I wonder if Ballard would ever move up dramatically for a QB. I think he'd be more likely to take someone later in the first or even on Day 2. I believe Ballard was directly involved in the scouting of Mahomes, and the strategy to draft and develop him was discussed while Ballard was still in KC. That involved a trade up from #27 to #10, which is significant, but not as costly as moving into the top 5. And that trade was done after Ballard left.

 

I'm more interested in the scouting and strategy than in the final decision, though. The Chiefs had a decent veteran starter, but planned ahead to move on from him. They drafted a talented replacement and sat him for a year, and were perfectly comfortable with that decision.

 

A year before that, the Eagles made a big trade up for Wentz. They also signed Sam Bradford, and appeared to be willing to start Bradford unless Wentz won the job. As it turns out, Wentz won the job, despite being a small school prospect who still needed some work. The next season, Wentz was an MVP candidate, until he got hurt. As we all know, Frank Reich was on the coaching staff.

 

So I think we have a braintrust that's willing to draft and develop a young QB, without feeling compelled to start him before he's ready, but also willing to have a truly open competition for the starting job. And I think they all believe they can find a QB outside of the top 5.

I believe if Ballard strongly believes that his guy is there ,he will go all in .
