he has a strong arm, but we haven’t seen if he has deep accuracy or the ability to read the defenses. Hopefully he has a full year next year and developers all that.Wasn't his deep ball accuracy in college better then his midrange? Matter of fact I think his deep ball accuracy was better then Stroud, Young and Levis.

Shane is such a good coach. I can't wait for AR to get back. We are going to be lethal.

I like his aggressive approach. That being said, I think we need to help our defense more then put them in a bad postion. I wouldn't want our offense starting at our own 1 yard line. I think with the struggles of the defense we have to help not hurt them. I think Shane needs to do better at putting the team in a postion to win and not be so aggressive when the game is close. It's what got Anthony hurt and now it's hurting the team. We need to develop this team before we become so aggressive.

Agree and I think Shane has to help him more. In games like yesterday’s coaches should be trying to keep it a two score game as long as possible. Not taking three points when available only puts more pressure on the quarterback and coach. Going for it on 4th and 17 deep in your own territory with Minchew’s arm is another head scratcher for me. Oh well. On to Cleveland.
There are going to be head scratches for sure. But just as much as AR is learning so is Shane. Minshew was really rattled and was forcing things. We should have leaned on our strength which right now is our running game. But like you said on to the Browns. Live and learn.

My only question about this is what if it starts to look like last year. That could push Irsay over the edge. I don’t expect things to get that low but yesterday was how teams lose faith in quarterbacks.
Irsay has shown alot of patience with new coaches his track record speaks for itself. I don't think he is going to come unhinged with a rookie HC. The Colts are already exceeding my expectations and most likly his too. Manning only won 3 games his rookie season. We will at least win 5-7 games IMO. If we win more great, if not it's about growing as a team. AR getting hurt is my biggest concern. He needs to learn when to fight for it and when to live another day. His biggest ability is availability. I love his athleticism but he needs to take better care of his body.
One last thing. I love Minshew but we did not sign him to be the franchise QB and your faith in him should be very limited. He is a good backup but that is all he is and will ever be. We need to lean on Moss and Taylor and Minshew just needs to manage the game.

all gms should have the mindset to build their roster to win it all each season, in todays nfl rebuilding mode and preparing for next season is a losers game. putting a roster together each season is like a game of which gm can assemble the best talent to play together with a desire to win it all or at least make the playoffs each season. the only season that counts is this season. ballard is giving it his all to make the playoffs this season. injuries happen to all teams, we lost ar so our head coach needs to find a way to use our strongest weapons to win. we have 2 top rbs who can be used to be a force with either of our 2 qbs to make the playoffs and our gm can add talent to help our backup qbs. dont give up hope we have the talent to make the playoffs. i believe ballards job is on the line to make the playoffs and he will get the talent help to do it.
This season is going to be a pass for Ballard. Sure we have some good talent and could make the playoffs. But I am looking for growth on all aspects of the team. If we win then sweet but my hopes were never that high this season. All I'm saying is keep expectations real. All this doom and gloom, the sky is falling is just a overreaction.

That’s a big ask lol.
It's crazy. We as fans have been completely spoiled.

If you were hoping for a playoff run or even to just make the playoffs with a rookie QB and HC. You set yourself up for this disappointment. Sure making the playoffs would be sweet but at least be realistic.

At the time of the pick, AR was sitting at 119.8 QBR and 68.9% accuracy. That’s pretty dang good for his first game. I’m excited to see where he’s at by seasons end
I am stoked with the team right now. There is alot of new on our team. We will figure it out.

I am a Colts fan and always will be. But I do enjoy watching other teams but I can't stand the Jags or Titans no matter how good they are.

Mine as well. And I don't think it really worked that well. I just got tired of trying to convince them.

The first sentence is absolutely true. However, when you have a guy like Lawrence, you have to build around him and give him the best possible chance to succeed. His salary is cheap right now. That's the time to sign some high-profile FAs around him so he can compete in the AFC gauntlet. It also gives you a chance to win a weak AFC South, which was the case last year.
I would love if Ballard did that with our new QB. The Jags increased from 3 to 9 wins, I'd love to go wild in FA and the draft and go from 4 to 10 wins. I;m not saying don't build through the draft, I'm just saying you can't fill all your needs through the draft. It's literally impossible unless you are doing it on madden.
You have to look at the whole picture. The arrival of Pedersen is what turned them around he is a good HC. They were spending money like fools and still not winning anything until he came along.

If, but they don't. If the Colts played in a more competitive division, well, they'd still have about the same record as they lost to the whole division last year anyway lol.
You have to build your team through the draft and supplement it with FA. The Jags had it easy in 2022 but I don't think that will be the same story in 2023. And my point is what has all the money spent by the Jags got them? They were spending like crazy while still picking in the top rounds of the draft.

Gotta laugh. Ballard needs to earn Chloe's trust. After he picks Pittman just outside the 1st rd. Pierce in the middle of the 2nd rd. Campbell in the 2nd.
Such buffoonery.
It's silly really. It's just the stupid narrative the media is pushing and people are latching on to.

They made the playoffs and it gave their young QB at least a fighting chance.
If they would have played a more competitive division they would have barley won 7 games and then missed the playoffs. They are In a division with two of the worst teams in the NFL. With all that talent they managed to win 9 games and won arguably the worst division in the league.

They were dragged through the mud when they signed Kirk and spent all that money on receiving options for Lawrence.
What did signing all of them solve? Not a dang thing. They barely made the playoffs. The Jags are not a organization I would model mine after. The Jags have been doing this for years. Big spenders and nothing to show for it.

3rd round would be a sweet spot for a WR. Someone like a Tyler Scott, Marvin Mims, or Cedric Tillman should be available there. Nathaniel Dell is another option.
I really think he is going to pick a WR in the draft.

Everyone though jags were being dumb too and look how that turned out.
I dont buy all that. They went what 9-8. Trevor was always destined to be good. Adding Doug Pedersen helped them tremendously.

Ballard doesn’t value WR. Until I see him charge I don’t trust him.
This is great analysis from rap. Surround your young QB with as many weapons as you can. Which is what panthers are doing.
The panthers are being dumb with money. I don't agree with their philosophy at all. But I guess that's what you have to do after you give up a ton of picks.
Ballard just picked Alec pperce who I think is going to be really good. I know WR is not our biggest strength but I do think they are pretty good. They have just not had good coaching or a half decent QB to throw to them.

With the way Ballard handles WR he will probably wait until 7th round to draft a WR.
Maybe. But I could see him grabbing one in the 3rd.

Until Ballard fails to address that’s 3rd WR. Then it’s going to look like we should of kept him.
I dont get it... keep a player who played one full season? What if he get his replacement in the draft?

No offense to Campbell, but Campbell really did not do anything to justify keeping.
Okereke absolutely justified being kept, but not when he was outplayed by Franklin who is making $4M a year and Bobby O would have come back as a part time guy for $10M+ behind Shaq and Z.
So those are examples where I can see not keeping the home-grown guys sadly.
The love for Paris around here is absurd.

I totally agree.
Something is not right in Baltimore, not just the Not resigning the Lamar Jackson thing. I think their best days are behind them for awhile. As far as Harbaugh, he gave away 2 games by not kicking the PAT and going for two, among other things. He may not be coaching in Baltimore for long and then he'll be a Hot Signing for a team with a opening. Who knows, maybe his brother will coach the Ravens?
I think the Bengals will contend for the division for the foreseeable future with the Steelers improving and the brownies with Watson. Rarely, four teams are good in a division, and the Ravens will be the odd team out.....just a feeling/hunch. Hope I'm wrong cause I like Baltimore and the Ravens.
Baltimore is not the same since Polock Johnny's closed down on The Block, lol.
By far the Best Hot Dog joint I've ever been to.
Something is really off with them. I cant see anybody taking the division from the Bengals for a min, the Steelers are the only team I can see making some noise to challenge Cincy. I'm just not sold on the Browns one bit, mainly because its the browns.

Pierce... UNCHECK!! Finally...
in Colts Football
Posted
But it was his strength. I know there is a adjustment period but he seemed to have better accuracy then he had in college. He was actually playing really good for the little experience he had and don't think it's going to take long for him to figure out how to play in the NFL
