U cannot sign  elite wrs if u have no qbs. What free agent wr was going to  sign with the Colts when the only qb u have is Sam? Ain't going to happen. Plus, I am not a big supporter of signing 1st day wr free agents. It is the most expensive acquisition. If u go back, I would dare u to find one that ended up transforming a team with their play.

U think so ? I think Allen Robinson would of been dope for you guys .

I guess we will see. Jacoby, Rivers and Wentz all improved substantially under Reich and this roster. Obviously I’m speculating but I’m betting Ryan’s strong ability to read a defense will fit this scheme very well. Probably not a lot of deep balls but will be able to work the 10-15yd range that backs the defense off the line and moves the ball down the field. This is a pairing that has a short shelf life so hopefully we can maximize it while getting someone to develop. 
 

I hope Wentz does really well with the Commanders. I liked him and think if he can put it all together can be a great QB for a decade. I will be following your teams progress bc I like your QB, love your coach and think you will have the best DE in the league.

You guys should win about 9 or 11 wins imo this season with Matt Ryan. I only say I don’t feel he’s better than wentz at this point is just because of the arm difference . Matt Ryan arm isn’t the same as it use to be , and colts had alot of big plays to Pittman down the field with wentz arm.

 

But if you guys can get another wideout and a tight end to complement , than no doubt I can see Matt Ryan having a good year .

Last season, Ryan didn’t have anything to work with other than Pitts. That’s why I am looking at more than last year. 
 

The prior two seasons (2019 and 2020), Ryan definitely had receiving weapons, better than the Colts at this moment. And he put up middle of the pack numbers.
 

I think Ryan is still a good QB. But it seems there is a narrative that he’s a huge improvement over Wentz. But Wentz also put up middle of the pack numbers (just with more volatility) prior to and while he was here. So setting aside the volatility, the recent numbers don’t suggest a massive improvement. 
 

I get stats aren’t everything, but that’s how I usually base my opinion. At this point though, I am just repeating myself. 
 

I do agree with the lack of moves. Which is why I also questioned the idea that the Colts have drastically improved so far.

I agree with you 

I think colts should just go wideout with the second round. Maybe get Carson strong in the third .

I felt like Wentz was fine but also believe Ryan is better.  Plus a new EDGE and the hope this new scheme on D will create more pass rush is why I think this team is better than last years. 

I don’t think Matt Ryan is better at this point .

 

no evident of that unless we talking 2016-2018 version .

As a commander fan I’ll just say this , I don’t think it’s Ballard that’s the issue but instead it’s the owner . He’s just cheap and I really believe that because no way you have the most cap space in the NFL and do nothing .

 

 

 I do not like the Matt Ryan move for you guys . His arm been more declined than before and his INT ratio has increased . I actually think who ever you draft as a rookie will take his position . 
good luck this season

 

i already have my team losing to u guys

we don’t do well at all against Matt Ryan and in dome games

You can't be serious? Ryan has played well despite diddly poo to work with. Their WRs look worse than ours. He's lost Jones, Ridley, all he really has is PItts. Worthless RBs and not exactly an elite OL. 

 

I think the Ryan move was great, and lucky for us. But Ballard doesn't appear to be making ANY effort to upgrade in key places like WR, OL, TE (I could go on). Getting Ryan is a "win now" move but he isn't acting like it.

 

He's made some great moves of us while he's been here but also some serious whiffs. I'm seriously questioning if we still should have him as GM. 

This isn’t true
