i also think we could upgrade at safety, we need game changers at that position
Hooker and Willis are very good, but a third solid safety would be awesome for rotational purposes and packages. Good idea, but we have more pressing needs first

My only issue with Payton is that he had good skill players, and TBr is pretty decent. I think the turnover in talent at Pitt was far greater. Both are included by PatM below.
Interesting point. I just don’t see a coach of a mediocre team getting the award, whether they deserve it or not. Tomlin has done a good job this year, but they’re always looking at teams up at the top.
Honestly maybe BB should get it because of all the glue he’s had to use to keep Brady and the offense together this season lol

That need is a given. I only listed picks for the first 4 rounds so...
with the 5th rd pick i choose future hall of Famer... LOL
And yes i am feeling real bad for Vinny. No way it should have ended this way.Yeah, I feel bad for Vinny. He’s done a lot for this team and this state, and he is a legitimately good guy. It sucks it had to end like this for him, but I hope in a year or two this year is forgotten and we can remember Vinny for the GOAT and the legend he is.
Also, as soon as AV retires number 4 needs to be retired as well, or plans need to be made to do it at a game.

It was not long ago a team with the #3 overall pick traded up one spot to #2, while giving up their 3, 67, 111, and the following year 3rd round pick.
Their choice? Mitchell Trubisky
Mahomes went 10th, Watson went 12th. No other first rounders were QB. In the 2nd round, only Deshone Kizer. Davis Webb and CJ Beatherd in the 3rd.
For #2 overall, I expected more. Maybe Trubisky turns the corner at some point, but he is stuck at the light presently. And shows how easy it possibly is to feel great on draft day, and then scratching your head almost 3 years later.
That just goes to show how dumb the Bears are then. Trubisky was a bigger question mark than Watson or Mahomes and they still wasted picks on him. And they’re still paying for that mistake

Yup, losing a starting QB, RB, and WR, all of whom were "identity" type guys was a big hit. You have to hand it to their coaching staff even if the Ws and Ls look mediocre. If they make the playoffs, Tomlin deserves a hard look for CoY.
Highly doubt Tomlin gets that. There have been several years we has almost coached them out of the playoff race, and the NFL doesn’t have a high opinion of him from what I can tell. But who knows
My bet is Sean Payton for CoY because of how he survived Brees’ absence.

I agree. I think both Pitt and Indy are just a QB shy of being on the next tier though.
I do hand it to Pitt though for like you said, beating the teams they are supposed to beat. That says something by itself.
True. We can’t do that.
As much as I can’t stand Pitt, they’ve somehow managed to not collapse after Brown and Bell left and Ben got old. They need a better QB and another WR though to really compete

Just in case it wasnt clear, I was being sarcatic. Definitely not trying to argue politics.
My bad, didn’t understand the context there. I wasn’t referring to politics as much as the fact that problems like those are usually self-inflicted by the people who live in those areas. But I digress

We are at a point the defense has to play perfect. It really isn’t fair to them. No defense plays a perfect game. Offenses are to good.
It’s like the total opposite of 2014. In 2014 Luck and the O had to bail the D out every game. Now it’s Leonard and the D bailing out the O every game.

10-6 will definitely make the playoffs in the afc. As we know the Colts are the type of team that can beat and also could lose to anyone. Obviously the saints are the best team they face but they did lose to Atlanta at home. Tampa, Carolina, and Jax are very winnable. The colts lose every tie breaker, because if they win out they go 4-0 vs nfc and have the worst conference record. They only teams they could beat in a tie breaker is Tennessee if Tennessee looses one game to Houston or , Houston if they lose both games to Tennessee. That is based on better division record. That is the first tie breaker amongst division opponents, conference record does not apply unless the division record is the same. As far as the other teams. Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Oakland, not worried about Oakland running the table, so either buffalo has to lose out , they play Baltimore, Pittsburgh, New England and the jets ( it's possible). Or Pittsburgh has to lose 2 of 4. They play cardinals, bills, jets, ravens. My point is if the Colts win out they should make the playoffs. I know it's a big if, but you never know.
As much as I would love to stick it to the cows and thumbtacks and make the playoffs, I don’t think it’s going to happen and I’m not sure I want it to. Unless JB suddenly becomes the second coming of Manning, I don’t feel comfortable with him being our future QB, and reaching the playoffs would only encourage Ballard and Reich to move forward with him.
But if we make the playoffs, I probably wouldn’t complain too much, just because I’ll be laughing at our friends in the AFCS.

Yeah, seems pretty unnecessary. It's the costliest state to live in after AL, NY, HI. They have ot leave at 5 in the morning just to get to work on time. And if the earthquakes and forest fires don't get you, then doing anything in any place in Cali causes cancer.
They have it bad enough, I think we can give them a break.
Sorry, I don’t feel bad for people living in Cali. Outside of the natural disasters, that stuff is their fault and the fault of the officials they elect.
At least in Indiana I won’t get cancer from going to Disneyland.

You're absolutely right.
Thing is, I don't judge our need at QB being "serious".
Yes, JB is not going to take you to the SB. But he's also not Josh Rosen. He's not Trubisky (at least in my opinion). He's serviceable. That's about it. You can win games with him, but you better have good players around him, because he won't be the reason why you won. But he also won't be the reason why you lost. He's not a disaster. He's just not "great". He won't take you to a SB. So, if you don't intend to sell the farm to get into the top 5 picks (and I doubt CB would ever do that), then you have to find this year's Russell Wilson. The third round pick that's actually pretty darn good. It's possible.
I think that's why CB has been visiting Jordan Love. Small school QB that had a great year last year, a lesser year statistically this year. Just enough to say "sure" in the 2nd round, but "naaaa" in the first round. I'm ok with that.
Now that you mention it, let’s just trade for Russel Wilson. I doubt the Seahawks would want much, right?

Just read the Draft Network mention of the Love and Ballard connection. If true and he's the target then Ballard will definitely have to move up to get him. Some other team will if he doesn't.
I don’t know. We’ll probably finish around 15 or 16, and there aren’t too many teams seeking QBs. Plus, the big downside to Love other than his stats this season are his opponents; it’s not like he plays in the SEC or Big Ten East. I’m not totally sold on Love, but I’m of the thought that we wouldn’t have to trade up much or at all to get him.
However, it’s still very possible he grad transfers to a power 5 school to increase his draft capital. Only time will tell.

I think that, at or about pick 17, the premier QB's will be gone. (Joe Burrow LSU and Justin Herbert Oregon). Tua may fall that far (if he doesn't return to Alabama). And if he does fall, it's for a reason. And that reason is something that I wouldn't want to deal with. I don't fully believe in Jalen Hurts, and there's too much risk with Jake Fromm. Jordan Love? That projection could be anywhere from the bottom of the 1st round to the somewhere in the 3rd. Just anywhere.
I personally think we should draft a QB in 2020. No, we should not trade the farm to get into the top 5 picks. It should be the best QB that we evaluated, that can be gotten with one of our two picks in the 2nd round. If that's Jordan Love, fine. If that's Jalen Hurts, fine. Or Jacob Eason. Whatever. Whoever rated best in your evaluation. Brissett should start in 2020, with this guy learning to play at this level as fast as he can.
(Personally, I'm thinking WR CeeDee Lamb at 1, DT Marvin Wilson at 2a, Jordan Love at 2b, and OT Calvin Throckmorton at 3. But we'll see how it goes.)
Fair enough. I’m kinda leaning toward trading up to grab Tua or Herbert (the Bengals will take Burrow, unless they Bengal it like always), but I’ll trust Ballard’s judgement. I really just don’t want to watch another season like this while a new QB learns the ropes behind JB. I’ve spent the last few years watching IU basketball/football, the Reds, the Pacers, and the Bengals all rebuild and whatnot and it’s wearing on me. I thought we were close to being done with the Colts rebuild, but I guess not. Oh well, maybe 2021 will be our year lol

The more I think about the circumstances surrounding how it happened I am thinking the possibility could be really high. They could say we don’t need a long term commitment. We just need for you to come in and finish your contract and groom a young QB. Then he gets to go out the right way. The circumstances seemed to me he just needed a mental break and didn’t want to actually retire. But by saying he is retiring he doesn’t have to answer questions of when he will be back. He can do it on his own terms. I bet he is really missing the game more then we think. Plus I could see him wanting his daughter to see him playing.
I agree, he needed a mental break. Maybe he’ll come back, maybe not. Only he knows the answer to that. I hope he comes back, but if not I wish him the bes

Better yet would be having Luck commit to finishing his contract before FA hits. I still think it could happen.
I really doubt Luck comes back. He seems happier now. If he did though, I’d be through the roof. It’s sad that right when he retires we have the OL to keep him healthy. Oh well, treading old ground here

I would.
I'd draft CeeDee Lamb in the first round, re-sign Funchess, bring back TY, and coach the heck outta Campbell.
IMO, it's not do either this or that, it's both/and.
What about QB? Second round or stick with JB? Personally I think we have to trade up for a QB in the first, but I’m interested in what you’re saying

Lock came off IR and won his first game this passed Sunday and looked pretty good. With that defense he will probably do well.
Thanks for the explanation, I haven’t tuned in to anything NFL after our game Sunday. Not sure I will at this point either

It's also true that the Giants drafted Daniel Jones with the 6th pick in the 1st round in last years draft. He's played pretty well for a rookie . You're thinking they should give up on him ?
Honestly I haven’t seen enough of him (I don’t watch Giants games, sue me) but I would think they could do better

The broncos have their future QB. Don’t count the lions out from taking one. Stanford is getting older and injured.
Who is the Broncos QB? Did that Lock kid play well? I didn't pay attention to their game.
I still think the Lions stick with Stafford. He has the strongest arm in the NFL, always plays through injuries (this is the first time he's missed because of injuries, and it's because he has a broken back) and he's loyal to the team.

Depends of which fan you ask. Some think we’re ready to win a championship now. But yes I’ll say you listed some of the positions we need. I’ll add Tightend to that group and oline depth.
I wouldn't say we're ready to win a championship now, but if we find a real franchise QB, a kicker, and another good WR, we absolutely could be. Plus, we should have a weaker schedule next year.

Giants would never be considering a QB in the first round.
Cinn. , Miami and Broncos for sure need one.
That's true, the Giants definitely hang on to bad/mediocre QBs for a long time.

Their losses are much better than ours. Looks like their overall SoS is a lot stronger than ours.
Don't get me wrong, we suck too, but Pitt is not good. Like at all. Beating the Bengals and Browns is not an achievement. I get that they beat who they were supposed to beat and lost to who they were supposed to lose to, but that makes you mediocre at best. The fact that us, Tenn, and Pitt are even competing for a wildcard spot shows the sorry state of the AFC once you get past the Ravens, Pats, Chiefs, cows, and Bills. There are only five good teams in the AFC, and neither Pitt nor us are one of them.
We are very lucky we don't play in the NFC

Tua has bust written all over him imo, especially with his injuries.
But they said the same thing about Frank Gore so what do I know
