    Awesome point

    Seattle is basically renting Clowney's services, for a year, for ~8M due to Houston agreeing to pay the other half in the trade. Seattle just won in every way possible with that trade. 

  2. I've said this quite a few times on here, when people were questioning Campbell's routes at OSU, these types of plays with him are what kept Haskins upright the majority of the season. OSU's line was awful last year and Paris was the one guy Haskins could trust to be open in a hurry if things broke down. He will be for Brissett exactly what he was for Haskins. Granted this OL should be at least what it was last year, as in being very good, but Brissett shouldn't have any problems with getting rid of the ball in a hurry, if teams blitz, because Paris will likely be open. Let teams get burnt a few times by Paris and see how much they blitz after that, it won't be much. I'm not so sure that he isn't the Colts' "deadliest" weapon right now.

    If we start out in the  0-3 or 1-5 range

     

    I think the perspective on that has to be how they've lost if that's the case. If they are getting ran out of the stadium, which I doubt that happens, then they have every reason to look beyond JB, but I look for JB to be the starter for this season.

    Tbf, I'd consider calling for 30-35 TD's and 4000 yds to be pretty gaudy predictions for Brissett at this point.

     

    And I will stick with that prediction... He threw for ~3100 with a defunct offensive scheme, OL, and weapons... If he can't succeed with this scheme and talent on offense then I will gladly admit to being wrong about him.

    I heard he still  looks (too) thin for an NFL QB, more like  a soccer player.  He was known to have weight loss issues before (possibly from off season surgeries I think) as recent as 2016, when Gabbert took his job...

    and this

    And from what I understand he's walking in with a starting price of 15-20M. I think teams would look beyond the abilities/physical traits/distractions, but he's coming to the table like he has leverage when he doesn't. His ego is killing his chance of playing on Sunday. Just come in, learn whatever system you're in, take over the starting spot, and produce, and he'll get paid, but he's trying to  bypass all the important steps to getting the money he supposedly wants.

    If you look at that last preseason game when JB was with New England he seemed to do pretty well good offensive design like Mcdaniels had.  Where the routes are properly designed and he can easily find his hot routes.  Reich offense has a lot of the similar type concepts that take heat off the QB. I think he'll look much better. 

     

    There are going to be a lot of "hands" out on the field he can trust to get the ball to. No nonsense, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Jacoby go for 4k+ yards and 35+ TD's with this offense.

    I will be rooting for him and I think the team is stronger than it was in 2017. But having watched the entire 2017 season (like most here)...Brissett has some flaws as a QB...that make his fit in this offense a dubious proposition. 

     

    It's great to hear he has been working with House. I will be most interested in seeing if he has improved/developed touch on his passes and a quicker delivery. That will be crucial.

     

     

    If this were the same Chud ran offense, I would agree. I believe Reich's offense will benefit Jacoby much more and also won't get him hit 100+ times throughout the season. Another reason I'm optimistic is the playmakers he has now is light years beyond what he got to play with in 17', not to mention the huge difference in the OL. He may take a couple games to really settle in, but I still believe he's going to be much better, as well as the team, than people think.

    I guess Herbert will be our new QB . I think I like him better then tua . What do you guys think now that luck ruined our season I guess we should talk draft . 

     

    /puke I hope not... The guy can't even dominate a weak Pac-12...

    I would pay Dak a maximum of $34 million, and that's way more generous than most people, and even more generous than I think would be smart. Any more than that is ludicrous

     

    He wouldn't have to let him walk, he'd just have to let him hold out or play another season on his current contract

     

    The problem with this isn't Dak, it was Philly paying Wentz what they did. Dak has been healthy, and productive, and I don't blame him for using Wentz as "the measuring stick" for getting paid. Sure, it puts Dallas in a rough spot paying Dak that much but that's where teams are now with paying franchise QB's, and one's that aren't top-5. I think Irsay was right when he said Luck was probably walking away from ~500M by retiring.

    Every time the Colts are in a situation with a new QB I find myself even more interested in the games. I was when Andrew first got here for obvious reasons, but i have grown to think we have a top notch roster. What could Brissett do with a balanced roster? We saw him do ok without a ton of starting experience on a pretty depleted roster. 

     

    Hes got experience. 

    Hes got a team. 

     

    Call me an optimist. 

     

    I feel the exact same way..

    Booing is how a crowd shows displeasure, it's not a direct attack on Luck himself. Granted, I think that Luck just unseated Paul George as the most unpopular guy in Indy. 

     

     I'm pretty upset at how he handled this. I'm irritated at the situation too. Had I been in LOS tonight, I would've booed too. The timing is awful, especially now the season is pretty much over for the Colts 2 weeks before it begins. 

     

    Over how? There are 52 other guys who would completely disagree...

    I saw this mentioned in an article, but Bridgewater is the Saint’s backup right now. Do we consider trading for him to compete with JB? He only lost his job because of injury and he still plays like a starter imo. Of course, the Saints know our position now, and would probably want an arm and a leg for him. I’m lost right now

     

    /puke god no.. I'd ride with JB all day over Bridgewater...

    You would be singing a different tune.  Not saying it is classy or even ok , but understandable.   Luck is a grownup , he can handle it.  The media is already taking this and running with it, sorry as they are.  

     

    I believe in 5 or 6 weeks people around here will be praising the team and JB. Ballard has done a fantastic job at building this team to not be so reliant on 1 guy. Luck was a good player but he can't do it all. I fully believe this team will be ready to go week 1 and will surprise some people.

    Do you not understand what his job is or are you just looking for someone to be mad at tonight?

     

    Do you not understand the difference between a wrong and right way to do things? Integrity?  Trust me I'm far from mad... I'm good with moving on and letting these guys go to work with Brissett.

    Schefter was just doing his job, just getting the first scoop.

    I'm more concerned with who leaked it. I'm sure people in his inner circle knew, and apparently he talked to Irsay, but I'm really curious as to who leaked it.

     

    Schefter could have given Luck the chance to tell his team first AND THEN let it out. Schefter pulled a typical main stream, look at me I wanna be relevant, * move. He can do his job, but at least have the nuts to do it with integrity...

    That is going to haunt this fanbase.

     

    And I blame Schefter.  He couldn't wait until after the game to leak his precious inside info?  He had to know how that was going to turn out.

     

    I've never had anything against Adam Schefter before, but I will never forgive him for what he did to Andrew Luck tonight.  That was shameful.

     

    THAT is who people should be upset with. Schefter just became a certified * with airing everything out like he did. I'm good with Luck calling it, he nor, anyone on or with, the Colts owe anybody anything. There will be 52 other guys ready to go and ready to win the next 19 Sundays.
