I dont live my fandom life according to SB's. That said, I think that the Colts can be highly competitive right now, and that is what I seek as a fan.

Teams overreach for QB's every single year.

IIn my mind it comes down to Irsay, not Ballard or Reich. He's been the one making noise, and was the one who orchestrated that visit by Tom Brady.
What?

Gonna be interesting around here when Love and Herbert are still there at #13 and the Colts take a DT, WR, or OT.

Cap is the least of our worries right now. QB is.
And that's the great thing about drafting a QB. 4-5 years of value pricing.
Of course cap is the least of our worries right now....we are not paying an elite QB or pass rusher.
As far as the bolded, the same can be said for a pass rusher. The reality is, successful QB's have come from across the draft board, and even beyond the draft. The idea that the Colts must use their highest pick in this draft for a QB doesn't hold water with me. I personally would rather see a solid game manager in place while the team is being fortified, until the right guy comes along. I don't see that guy in this draft, even if we had the #1 pick.
However, this discussion is about WR. Let's keep it about that.

And I think you're on record wanting a game manager QB. Any stud receiver's performance will be hampered by a game manager.
I would say that I am not as much of a fan of huge percentages of cap to the QB for long term team success. So, would I want a game manager at elite QB price? Hell no...

But, adding either to a JB offense is like putting 1000 dollar competition tires on a Chevette.
Sorry, I don't agree.

I know I am in the minority, but if the Colts select Lamb or Jeudy with their first slot, I will be geeked!

There would be no purpose of drafting a guy in the 3rd round with Kelly already on the roster.
Um, no.

Just as there are fans who will do the same as you if the Colts dump a bunch of cash on the wrong FA QB or reach in the first round for a QB.

oh...there's a lot of answers around here....but they're mostly emotionally motivated, and severely lacking in scope.
On 2/18/2020 at 5:11 AM, OffensivelyPC said:Yeah, but back when Brees was drafted, teams wanted to put the next Manning/Brady out there. The "scrambling QB," or whatever nomer you choose, in the league wasn't as entrenched as it is today and that's in large part due to Wilson.
...and Fran Tarkington....and Randall Cunningham....and Michael Vick.....
On 2/18/2020 at 8:08 AM, Archer said:I actually agree with you. I think that Jordan Love has been vastly over-hyped among draftniks, particularly those on this forum. I don't think there's any way that Love would be drafted by Ballard over some of the other prospects that will be available. Not sure who that'll be, but it'll be some of the following: Andrew Thomas, Javon Kinlaw, Jerry Jeudy, Derrick Brown, Mekhi Becton, Tristan Wirfs, Henry Ruggs, etc. Too high of an opportunity cost to take a shot at Josh Allen Jr. (Allen had a decent season to my surprise in Year 2, but I still don't see him ever being an above average QB.) At any rate, it's unpopular around here, but I see us going with Brissett, Kelly, and hopefully Anthony Gordon of Washington St., and reassessing what we have after the year.
Spot on.

This has to be, to me, a most astounding statement. Being a playoff team is THE goal.
What the bloody hell....

I hope it's not true. I've been a Colts fan since I was about 9 or 10 years old. I rooted for my team to win even when painter and orlovsky were trying to play QB. But I don't know if I could root for my team with Tom on it. I will be more upset than when Andrew retired or when we released Peyton. I like Ballard and have never wanted him gone, I don't think I've ever said a negative thing about him on here. But if he does sign Tom, I hope it fails so hard that he is fired mid-season.
I'll up that comment.
"I'd rather Peyton retire as a Bronco, than to have Brady become a Colt".
Take that you Brady lickers.

Na, it won't be.

Dodds was with the Seahawks when they drafted Russell Wilson
Ballard was with the chiefs when they drafted Patrick Mahomes
Reich was with the eagles when they drafted Carson Wentz
Excellent points.

If we don't take a QB this draft I hope it's us but who knows.
Just wow. I mean, I cannot understand hoping the team you follow is the worst team in the league next year.
Like the next year after that will be some magical elixer?

Don't you get it! I want to be mad about 7-9! Don't throw any positive shade on me! Get oughta here with this average is ok crap!
Lol....I actually cracked myself up typing that.

Your choice in #3 should have "Develop from within", which is an avenue. But, it's your poll.

My point was that an average qb on this team wins 10, 11, maybe even 12 games. That's how far below average Brissett is.
You have an odd definition of average. There are currently 77 QB's employed in the NFL. By your definition, all but six are average or below. Yes, I know you said this team.
16 minutes ago, Two_pound said:Is any qb in this years draft going to be better than average with the possible exception of Burrow?
There is absolutely no way to know for at least a couple of years
16 minutes ago, Two_pound said:Top qbs don't grow on trees, if they did all 32 teams would have one. Build the team the way Ballard is doing get a solid qb and dominate all three phases of the game.
Spot on. I agree totally.
Can the Colts win a SB right now?

I have been in this line of thought pretty much since the end of last season. I would be happy with one DT, WR, and depth at OT out of the first three picks.
