How? Why?
I respect anyone, who says I let or let the team down. I guess that’s just me, because I’m active military.
Like I said, I missed it, but will take your word.
So, what separates JB from those in Leadership????
It is pure and simple my opinion.

How does JB beat the QBs in leadership?
What separates him from those QBs in the leadership category?
Has JB got up and stated , I need to play better? If he has, I missed it.
If you watch these guys throughout their careers, along with Foles particularly with the Jags is showing almost zero leadership. Leadership isnt about taking the blame or admitting he needs to play better to the likes of the media, I which case, I have heard him say that, so yeah, you did miss it.
The large exception would be Watson, who is still learning and can be great.

I also listen to podcast and the such from all that you mentioned, but I am not sure how that relates to the topic.
All we are doing is simply rating the QBs in our division.
I really want to understand why people may have him as one of the best QBs in the division because I don't see it.
Mostly in response to the uninformed posters. Its just readily available information for people who currently are freaking out about this organization.
As for the actual thread: Brissett isnt better than Watson, or even Tanny. Foles has the better skills as a passer as well...
JB has all 3 beat when it comes to leadership.. I would take any 3 of those guys passing abilities over JBs. But I wouldnt feel great with any of these guys as my franchise with the exception of Watson who still hasn't proven he can do it in the playoffs yet.

You guys. Eed to start listening to JMV, Dan Dakich, and Kevin Bowen.
JMV has Rick Venturi on every monday and he does a great job of breaking down the Colts games.
Kevin Bowen is great at talking Colts football in pretty good depth.
If I remember correctly, Dan has Holder interviews that are insightful...
Am I the only fan who scours the internet for Colts talk? They do a good job of giving you a better picture of this Colts team. The sky isnt always falling... and the colts problems are usually less than a lot of fans like to make it seem.

Because we are a helleva lot better than we were when we lost those 5 games if AL was still here.
They were considered that in the 2014 AFCCG. Manning couldn't seem to beat him for years. It doesn't matter until you shut the talkers up.

Because Andrew turned the ball plentiful and the defense couldn't muster up a stop in those games. Recipes for blowouts against the Patriots.
This team can run the ball, move the sticks and shorten the game up. They can also make stops. This team's makeup won't allow for blowouts. Which gives us a fighting chance in pretty much every game.
The main point though is that he never showed he could win vs the pats.

Yes I completely agree but the thing is at full strength would we really stand a chance going into Foxborough or Baltimore in the playoffs? I’m not sure I’d like our chances in Buffalo, the way our Offense is playing. Don’t like saying it but this team would probably be better off in the long run with a better draft position.
Andrew never beat NE in their 5 matchups. Why would that change with this team? Or are you saying the roster isn't as bad as originally thought?

Why? It appears he is currently a FA so the Colts could bring him back....if they wanted to.
Thought he played for the Steelers. My mistake.

Your thread title sounds like a craigslist ad.

I think Jacoby is also given a lot of freedom to call a pass and a run. He needs to trust himself more. He even mentioned in the presser how he thought they were running well so they stayed with it. But you can’t just turn on the switch and start throwing. After Williams scores the next drive is 3 and out with three passes. Why didn’t we mix it up. We were wearing them down with the run game. Also on the 4th and 7 why is Doyle on the sideline. He is the guy when you need ten yards he gets it for you.
They need to start playing balanced football. When you're a handoff artist for 3 qtrs you cant just turn on the jets all of a sudden.

#1 priority is draft a blue chip QB for the future of this franchise. JB is not the answer period..
Finding JBs replacement shouldn't be rushed through for just anyone in the draft or FA. I'm fine with drafting the right guy but I'm not on board with drafting a guy for the sake that hes a QB available in round one. Finding JBs replacement will be much like finding AVs replacement. Who is better? He cant just be slightly better unless you want to draft in the 20s every draft.

There was heeps of time left for the Colts to get into FG range from the spot of the recovery. The refs did everything they could to get the Texans to snap another play. The ref was pretty much ignoring Reich and you could tell by his reaction when he walked away. The refs were really bad last night and it was clearly calls made for the texans. I didnt see any penalties against them that was questionable.
Having said that. The colts are still capable of overcoming bad officiating. And they didnt do it. That fumble was just another game changing call the refs make against a lot of teams the last couple years.
I've said this before. If you want the refs to be held accountable you're going to need to stop buying into NFL content. Stop watching. But no one is willing to do what it really takes to make a statement. You want to watch games and EXPECT the league to just be of high moral, and hold these guys accountable. Guys. They're all making bookoo regardless of the bad officiating because everyone is still partaking of their product.

All fair. It would be the right thing to do in seeing how well or if it’s the same when DF, PC and TY are all on together but does the team have the luxury to see what JB does with luxury talent vs avg guys? Idk. My only question is regardless of who is in, can he scan the field or is he a 1-2 read QB?
as for Kelly, I’m afraid you’re right. Going to take a few bad outings and a dive in the standings or an “injury” to see Kelly. I’d sure like to see if Kelly has the ability to look around and be better in progressions than what JB has shown.
The thing is every year there are injuries. It's awesome if he is successful with a fully strengthened WR group. But you need to be good enough to go without. This team has other options that he just doesn't seem to look at.
Just like a guy who passes way too much, not passing enough really hinders you. JB never found a rhythm all game long because we never pass or he never passes.
It is a bit frustrating. I'm hoping if we officially get eliminated from the playoffs that they throw CK in and we can see what we have against "real" nfl talent. If he balls out the last 2-3 games of the season, at that point, an argument can be made that he deserves to compete against JB for starting QB. CK has the talent of a first round QB in the draft. He scared everyone off with his behavior.
Either way, this team is in a good position.

I honestly think this is a 50/50 share of blame. JB isn’t going to be confused for Manning but he isn’t Ryan Leaf either. I’m not even sure who his comparable is at this point because I can’t say I recall watching another QB like this. Saying that, what coordinator is incapable of building schemes to fit their players? A really good one will adapt to what they have and this team has seen JB play enough by now to know what they have. Lack of PA pass while murdering the opposition with the run is mind boggling. Not throwing to Doyle over the short to medium range in the middle of the field was also mind boggling. Trusting that your QB is finally going to connect on a deep pass when your game is on the line near the end is just stupid when he hasn’t shown he can do it all game long. Coaching decisions are borderline terminating type offenses in this league. I just can’t understand their logic this year.
I have highlighted an area that feels spot on about JB and I agree with most everything you put in here. Nice post.
the one thing we may differ in is if we can agree that JB is just what he looks like at this point and his ceiling isn’t much above what we are seeing, I’d really like to just take a look at Kelly during live fire and see what, if anything at all, we have with him. You would think at the VERY LEAST, Kelly could sink and dunk equally as well as JB has with the ability to go vertical. Even if you pull the risky vertical away from Kelly and just say dunk and dunk, he gives you the speed from his feet. The possible plus side if you say go play your game, is he able to throw a guy open and can he do that safely enough without being too high risk with the ball?
im not advocating that Kelly is the answer or anything remotely like that, I’m at the point though that I feel this team is stuck in the mid with JB and we don’t go far with him, regardless if the coaches can build better plans or not because he can’t seem to anticipate his throws deep. Kelly May or may not but let’s look at the kid and either check boxes or know that he is just another qb in this league. Idk
dang you Luck for pulling out of this team like you did.
I'm not a fan of Andrew's methods either.
Idk if JB has reached his ceiling or not. I'm willing to see if he can improve by the end of this year. If he doesn't I will personally write him off as not franchise material. He knows the playbook. He knows the team. There wasnt a lot going against his success with this team. But not being able to push it down field in certain games like when you're injured (every year?) Isnt good enough to be this franchise's QB.
As for Kelly I'd love to see what he can do. He seems to have some real talent at the QB position. I'm afraid unless this team goes 8-8 JB will also take all the snaps next year.

I have been a JB supporter throughout this year, but I am starting to lose faith in his abilities. The waiting for his guys to get open is a big deal, because in the NFL, if you dont throw it where your WR is going to be open, your window of opportunity is already gone by the time you see it unfold.
JB doesn't seem to have Anticipation of his WRs coming open. Everything else is at an acceptable level. His Pocket awareness is good enough. Hes hard to bring down. He brings a real definition of the term "Lazer, Rocket arm" to the table. He can scramble. Hes overall safe with the ball.
All these things dont matter if you're missing your windows of opportunity. JB doesn't trust himself to make that throw. Hes playing scared of the interception, and its hindering his progress. You gotta sling it to see the progression of the play in real time.
Frank Reich has to know this is happening. I'm not going to say JB cant get better in this area. But I'm losing faith that he can. We will know over the next year and a half. I would be fine with drafting a guy and letting him sit behind JB for a year. Theres no way Ballard is content with the level of QB play when hes constantly evaluating the roster.
Houston will always give us fits. And it's going to be interesting in a couple years with a proven run game and defense then add a better QB whoever that may be... this team is still going to be in prime position in 2 years. All last night did we tell me the Colts arent ready. The defense has some real play makers on it for once. Kenny Moore is an absolute beast. I was just discussing with my father the thought of having Freeney and Mathis on this defense. Like holy crap. Theres 2 more drafts where we can get more pass rushers. Our potential franchise QB, another stud WR and a RT (Smith needs to go back to G) If anything Ballard is showing he can stack talent. Ballard may be just using Brissett as a 2 year rental. And why not?

Just now, Mr.Debonair said:
They sure decided that fast. They even knew people were * about it. Games over for 15 minutes and they release this.

Reich was predictable. Run run pass. Hilton dropped 2 key 3rd down passes that were on the money. The offense played slow. They're good enough to beat anyone. The defense gave you chances and you were predictable.
Houston played good all around. They knew that Reich was going to call a run run pass. Good home work.
The refs were horrendous. That was a fumble at the end.

I was actually thinking about this. Wheb teams play the Patriots, they seem to go in googly eyed in wonder of the greatness of the Patriots. They lose before they ever play a down. How often does NE just look completely unstoppable from a skillset stand point?
Brissett having been there for a while. Maybe, just maybe, that's the edge the Colts need to beat them. Respect them. Not fear them.

Anyone else worried that the calf could restrain if they rush him back? It sounds like he could play and he could also rest another week.

If Nelson keeps up this level of play for his career, he is well on his way to Canton. His name is well known around the league.

Is there really a need to be an *? Apparently so. I have an opinion about the AFC south QB situation, and it's only one aspect of that opinion. Go back to your hole of misery. Did it make you feel good when you posted that reply? Sure gives you insight into what kind of person you are.
