I can't believe y'all signed Rivers, I think that was a total waste of money. I stick with my original plan, which was draft a developmental QB in the late 1st or early 2nd round and let CK & JB battle it out for the starting job this year. Personally I think CK would easily win that competition and be your long term/franchise qb. I could be wrong about CK, it's possible but I don't think I am.

FWIW, cut Hoyer, draft a mid 2nd round qb for development and let CK &JB battle it out for the starting job. Personally I think CK would easily beat out JB for the starting position and become the Colts franchise qb.

I hear you and it makes sense but I don't see the HC having an open QB competition. Sadly I think he's ready to fall on his sword for Brissett.

Yeah. I just can't get my head around why they wouldn't play him in these last 2 games. He lifted Ole Miss into the N.C. rankings, looked damned good at Denver and here too. We had a QB at N.O. and we all wanted him to succeed but he was streaky. Up one game and down the next. We stuck with him for like 4 years and he never got better. I sure hope this isn't about to happen with the Colts and Brissett.

It is just like I have said all along, the Colts will never give Kelly a real shot. They can only keep him for one more year, then after that he will be a free agent. The moment he is, he will walk right out the door and go somewhere he will have a legitimate chance to win a starting job. The Colts will never even let him even take snaps with the 1s. Not in practice and not in the preseason.

Supposedly Frank told one of the announcers tonight that Brissett is his guy. So that tells me that he will ride Brissett like the sinking ship he is and go to a watery grave. He's too enamored of Brissett to ever take a chance that he might be replaced by a draft pick or ... gasp....that wild guy Chad Kelly.

Kelly is on the active roster but I wonder if he is active for the game.

I hear you but it was over a year ago and that is why I get red flags on this.

This makes me go hmmm. If this really happened then why would you wait for over a year to sue? I think the guy might just be fishing for some money.

Exactly. And this is what all of us who watched him play in college and preseason games with both the Colts and the Broncos. Just give the guy a chance.

Actually I would start Kelly next week and play him for the last 4 games to find out what you have. Then you can decide whether or not to move up in the draft. The kid is a baller and he totally outplayed Dak in college. You really don't have anything to lose at this point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGuZ6LdLgnk

The Colts will never give Kelly a legitimate shot at winning the starting job. They will slog through the rest of this season with Brissett, miss the playoffs and then trade up in the draft for a rookie QB. My greatest hope for Kelly is that the Colts cut him at the end of the season so he can go somewhere and have a chance to compete. He will never see the field in the regular season here.

I've been following the forum here on JB and watching some of your games too. JB isn't starting material, he's a high functioning backup. I'm sure he's a great guy but he's not going to take this team where y'all want it to go. IMHO if he plays poorly in the 1st half against the Titans, the coaches need to have CK ready to play in the 2nd half. I'm not going to say he's the solution but at least they will know what to do come draft time. Not looking means drafting a rookie and starting from scratch at the QB position. CK knows your offense so give him some reps with the 1s and have him ready to go. The Colts have little to lose at this point and even if JB manages to squeak y'all into the playoffs, it's most likely a one and done thing.

You people have short memories. CK was placed on waivers late in the week after all the teams who were looking for QBs had already picked one up. That's the biggest reason he wasn't claimed. Ya'll really should stick with Brissett and Hoyer next year and cut CK so that he can go somewhere else and actually have the opportunity to compete for a starting job. He sure isn't going to have that chance with the Colts.
