It's an illusion. Your memory is playing tricks on you.

 

You speak as though the KC game was the only time Luck wasn't able to pull it out.

Can you explain how my memory is playing tricks on me?

I will admit I prefer Brissett to Luck as the Colts QB now. Not just because of stats, but also by what I see. I don't care if anyone thinks I'm stupid. It's just a game.

 

Good reasoning and I respect your opinion. 

 

However, if/when we're in the playoffs and we need that QB who can make that 0.5% throw, use amazing pocket presence to avoid a surefire sack, or will his team to a win (ex. KC playoff game) I have no faith in Brissett to do that. At least not yet. Just know game managers can excellent games as well. Just as superstar QBs can have bad games. We lost the superstar QB

To tell you the truth besides a few deep balls I don’t see much difference in this offense.

This offense if humming I agree. But it isn't the QB play anymore that's carrying us. And that's fine

It doesn't matter,   Luck retired, brissett didn't. 

I'm aware of that. Go on?

Well right now Jacoby is on pace to have right around the same amount of TD and fewer INT then Luck. His completion % is better then Rodgers. 

 

Do your eyes, when watching their games, tell you he's about the same QB Luck was, just because of stats? I swear, we used "stats don't tell the whole story" when backing up Luck against Wilson debates, even though Wilson clearly had way better stats and played just as well, if not better, than Luck. Now, we choose to ignore the eye test and look at stats and say "oh well he's on pace to match his TDs and/or have a higher rating etc" when comparing Brisset to Luck.

I don’t think anyone is trying to say that. It really is a testament to Reich if he keeps stats from last year and this year close through 16 games. It also goes to show JB is a pretty darn good QB if the stats stay close.  It’s ok to say JB is a really good QB. That doesn’t mean we think he is as good as Luck. 

I have seen it. Some even saying they prefer Brisset to Luck. It's hilarious. At some point people are going to have to unglue their eyes from the stat book and just see the huge chasm of QB play between Luck and Brissett. This year, JBs stats are benefiting greatly by a completely gelled dominant Oline, solid running game, and amazing playcalling/scheming to get guys running free (like against Houston). Point blank, I like Brissett. Just not as much as others do...

I think you might be shocked that lucks yards per game might of went down the second half when we started running really well. 

YPG is literally the most meaningless stat and I couldn't care less if it went down. Im sure passer rating, comp %, and TD/INT ratio will be far better..

Not just that. Luck was also obviously not 100% with his arm. What we are practically doing is taking one of Luck's worst stretches and comparing it to Brissett's best stretch... And we are still 1.5ppg and 500 yards in 6 games short. Again... This is not a comparison Brissett fans should be making. It's not doing Brissett any favors.

Grasping at whatever they can to somehow put Brisset anywhere near Lucks level.

 

Don't get me wrong. I like Brisset. But we went from a bonafide contender to maybe a wild-card win after Lucks retirement.

[The passing game through 6 games, 2018 vs. 2019.]

Id like to eventually see the comparison from week 7 thru the end of the season. Luck took off and balled out during that time. Jacoby will probably maintian his steady pace

[Nick Sirriani one of most talked about young HC candidates]

Sirianni learning and taking notes from how Reich conducts himself/coaches is monumental. I can see why he'd be a hot HC candidate. He'd at least have an idea of how great head coaching is done..

Unitas. Under today's rules he would be unstoppable. 

Different eras and different types of players. You cant really compare. Back then Olinemen and Dlinemen weighed like 240 lbs.. DBs probably ran like 4.7s... Basically the she sheer anount of athletic freaks and competitiveness is far higher now than back then.

I don't care anything about that.  I trust our staff could straighten his game out, he's got tons of talent.  It's not always about the numbers. 

Literally the EXACT same spiel was said about Collins.... I imagine you were a strong advocate for him too? 

 

Some players just aren't good despite their talent.

I wish we could have gotten conley

Why? From what I heard he's been pretty bad. Are you just reading into the name and draft pedigree? 

[Hypothetically, Andrew Luck comes back next year, could you even get a 2nd rnder for him?]

You guys put too much emotion and "feelings" into this. No one cares how he left. We'd take him back in a heartbeat. If traded, we'd demand a kings ransom. 

[Week 7 impressions: Brissett]

Outstanding game managing from him. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jk he balled out. I'd like to see that be the norm with him

Lol. That's a wrap guys. Everyone knows 1 game is enough to define a QB...

Ryan leaf was drafted second .  Jamarcus Russell was drafted first

Having seen all of Jacoby's games with us and a few of Jimmy G's, its easy to spot the talent difference. I have never seen Jacoby play out of his game manager role. He always did just enough to not be a liability. Imo, he has never shown to be able to take over a game when the running game or defense lays an egg. Ever. Jimmy G, last year after he was traded (haven't watched him this year) played really well. Even if his stats didn't show it, he played like a guy who can make all the throws and win despite the team around him not playing its best at times. That's why they awarded him a fat contract.

 

I honestly can't see Jacoby being more than a solid game manager. 

[Jalen Ramsey to the Rams - What it means for Colts]

Brissett will now throw for 180 yards instead of 150! 

[Campbell?]

Campbell, IMO, has a lot more upside/potential than McLaurin.  We drafted him knowing he was raw, knowing we'd have to work with him on route running, etc... but he has shown when he's got the ball in his hands he can be very explosive.  

 

Let's re-evaluate this is their 3rd years.

McLaurin is a straight stud though. He's their only decent WR and defenses know that. Even against NE he had a decent game. His routes are sharp and crisp and is a natural catcher. I would love to have McLaurin over Parris right now. I have never been a fan of project/raw players. Give me someone who solid all around and will only keep getting better.

There was a run play where Mack went the right behind Braden. Braden had three defenders stacked on the block and was moving them. Our line is a beast.

I hope we can keep Taylor on the 53. He is very physical and really stepped up. I really liked him in TC.

He looked like Bob Sanders on that play.

Bob Sanders woulda knocked that Chief into the endzone and the ball jarred loose

We were missing our reigning defensive player of the year, our stud FS, our other safety, one of our starting receivers, and we had a hobbled #1 WR and Rb.

 

Every team is hurt, this is football, not shuffleboard. 

Geathers is garbage though. Everyone else was badly missed

[Hiring for WR]

2 minutes ago, EastStreet said:

If the Colts were down their WR1 and WR2, you'd be freaking out and calling for us to draft two new WRs and trade immediately. Saying Mahomes is without Hill and Watkins is just fact. That's a lot of their production. Kelce dropping a bunch is like Ebron dropping 1 in terms of your freak outs.

 

JB has troubles going through progressions pure and simple. He cost us at least 3 (which would have sealed things much earlier), and as many as 11. He missed several wide open reads, and threw multiple times into double coverage badly (one INT, one bailed out by a PI).

 

It's intellectually dishonest to say he had any more than a game manager performance tonight. 

Yes. Anyone who thinks the QB position is fine and shouldn't be targeted for improvement is delusional. Sure its not a top priority position to upgrade right now... But it will need to be done eventually...

 

 

Unless we somehow assemble a LOB or 2015 Denver defense..... Which I highly doubt.
