Appreciate the optimism, but I have not seen a Ballard roster that can win without a top QB, which Minshew is clearly not. My focus will be watching the rookies development the rest of 2023.

I don't know, but the one thing we all were looking forward to was watching Richardson play. Now it's almost like 2022 all over again. Sadly, I admit, that I want a top 5 pick in the 2024 draft.

I know what Frank would do.

They resigned JT, so why would they risk losing their WR1 in Pittman? A poster stated the Colts view him as a WR1, and must highly believe in him.

Solid rosters can have success (division title, playoff runs) without the superstar QB, like a A. Luck was. It's been proven over and over. Many have a hard excepting that Ballard's rosters simply over 7 years haven't been very good. A well respected member on the forum has repeated that numerous times.

Why haven't they locked Pittman up to a new contract, if they view him as the team''s true WR1?

Pierce was a 2nd Rd pick, I'm talking about trading up in the draft for a true WR1, which Pierce isn't, or Jeudy. Is this personal or something? Have a nice day!

That is my hope. Drafting a skill position player (WR), that's badly needed for the offense. I might even go so far as to trade up, to ensure getting the right guy which is always a risk, but it's better than settling for players like Jeudy. We have to many of those players. I don't want to be patient for another decade.

I'd wager the Colts aren't buyers as usual, and it's obvious to me for a multitude of reasons. And as for Jeudy, I can't even get excited about the guy. He's no better than Pittman or Downs. So, I guess the article has merit, and Steve Smith opinion. Have a nice Day!

Absolutely, won't be a 2nd, 3rd or 4th...... From what I've read, nobody has inquired about Jeudy, it's the other way around. Denver is a fire sale. Richard Pallo's favorite time of the season.

In a nutshell, he doesn't take over games or impose his will on anyone. The million dollar question is, does Ballard pay him WR1 money in 2024. IMO the Free Agent WR market is weak, with a soon to be 31 YO, M. Evans the best of the bunch. If, someone offers him more than the Colts, let him walk and thank him for his service.

Fair enough! Does Jeudy raise the bar for the Colts? I feel like we already have one on the team with Pittman. The Colts need WR1, which Jeudy doesn't appear to be.
