    Simple enough premise. 

     

    We got a depth QB who has been tasked with filling the hole left behind by Andrew Luck.

    The Patriots got Phillip Dorsett, a receiver who didn't do much for us, but is steadily improving in their system and delivered in the clutch in the playoffs

    Now that both players have really had a chance to settle in -- did we win, by securing insurance and insuring we didn't get stuck in QB limbo after Luck's departure, did the Patriots win by securing an over-the-top piece that helped them win the shootout in the AFCCG against the Chiefs?  Or is this one of those rare situations where everyone can be happy?

    So far Patriots have won that trade, Dorsett helped them secure another Super Bowl. Unless Jacoby comes out and gets the Colts to a Super Bowl this year then it’s the Pats.

    I think someone brought this up in another thread........

     

    You dont HAVE to have THE TOP QB to win a SB

     

    Give me a top 10 QB, AND a solid team around them....... 

     

    Not a Superstar QB that we cant afford to play (pay) defense........ 

    I agree with you , you don’t have to but it certainly helps. Just look at Tom Brady and the Patriots.

    Being realistic, I don’t think we were Super Bowl contenders this year anyway. Close, but not quite. With that said, let’s give the roster another year to mature and grow and see how far JB and/or CK can get us. If they don’t cut it, I think a guy like Fromm or Herbert may be realistic with a trade up, depending on how we do this year. No quarterback in this next draft is Luck-caliber, but with our roster we may not need that. I think Lawrence is very talented too, but we haven’t seen the kid much at all, give him a couple of years in college before declaring him the next NFL franchise qb. We don’t want a Ryan Leaf

     

    He can’t declare for the draft until after his Junior season , that will mean he will have 3 years under his belt at the collegiate level in a pro system. I like what I see so from him and he’s only going to get better. Good QBs are a dime a dozen, I think the roster currently is pretty balanced where you don’t have to rely heavily on one person ie an Andrew Luck. But it’s always great to have that kind of Perennial guy you can count on day in and out.

  4. With Luck now out of the picture we are in need of another Franchise Quarterback. I like Jacoby I just don’t know if he is the long term answer. I think he is more so a great backup if anything, which is perfectly fine you need a capable backup. I’m curious as to who everyone sees as the potential future of this Franchise. I’m going to have to go with Trevor Lawrence from Clemson. I think that kid is going to be special.

    Much like they've done with Ben Banogu (given up on the SAM Spot) I wish the coaching staff would simply put Lewis in Sheards spot at defensive end and let him play there on 1st and 2nd downs and slide him inside on passing downs (as needed).

     

    Our best starting lineup would be IMHO:

     

    Houston - Turay - Phillips

    Autry - Ward

    Hunt - Stewart

    Lewis - Muhammad - Banogu

     

    When Sheard returns then slide him back in and alter the rotation a bit.

     

    @krunk You with me on this?

     

    Thoughts?

     

     

    He’ll play both Inside and outside at end. He’s a very versatile guy.

    I'm curious if someone can explain to me why they called the PI on Rock when the ball had already been tipped away by Hooker?

     

    Also, I thought Tell had great coverage, used his body to shield, had his head turned and swatted the ball away cleanly?

     

    If I were the staff I wouldn't even be upset about those two penalties.

     

    Thoughts?

    Rock never turned his head to locate the ball. Which is why he got called. But truthfully there were a ton of calls that shouldn’t have been called.

    Just a question. I dont no the answer. Is the mudd technique out dated with the speedier defensive lines in the league today?

    It’s hard to say, we haven’t seen the entire offensive line in action.

    After two preseason games, I have yet to see Wilkens. Is he injured? Is he in the doghouse? I don't understand, if he isn't hurt, why he isn't playing. I'm not impressed with Williams or Ware. Wilkens averaged over five and half yards per carry last year. and he isn't playing? Please, someone, help me understand. Thank you.

     

    He is injured, they’ve mentioned it several times.

  9. I think luck may possibly miss a game or two, with him gone I think JB lights it up. When Luck returns I think JB gets traded. That’s what I personally think is going to happen. He’s in a contract year and wants to start I don’t think he returns in the off-season he’d likely want to test out FA, might as well get some value for him.

    in terms of pure athletic ability, Fountain probably is better. In terms of refinement (routes, football acumen, big time D1 experience, etc.,) Cain wins hands down.

     

    If you don’t mind me asking, why do you think Fountain has more pure athletic ability? From my research the only thing he beat Cain in was Vert which grades out to being more explosive I guess. I’m just not sold he’s more athletic I could be wrong though.

    I could see Farley out, it's not out of the realm of possibilities.

    It's not likely given his track record and familiarity with the defense. If Geathers or Hooker went down I’m sure the FO would feel much more comfortable with Farley in the lineup.

    Yeah, I still find it funny that everyone esteems Cain more than Fountain.  Fountain is the better athlete, he’s having every bit as good a TC as Cain, he’s without the injury history, and his intangibles/work ethic are off the chart.  

     

    More on point, I have my eye on Wilkins.  He hasn’t been able to do much this TC,  while Jonathan Willams has been establishing himself as RB3...

    I don’t Believe Fountain is the better Athlete imo, he’s only really started to have a great camp as of the last week and a half. Cain is on a pitch count so you won’t hear his name as much but when he gets his reps he makes noise. They are higher on Cain than Fountain if you ask me.

    If it's a WR, it's probably both Fountain and Pascal getting cut.

    If it's a DB, it might be Collins or Odom.

    Also possible that Banogu comes back during the remainder of the preseason, does well enough, and injured 9 year veteran Jabaal Sheard gets cut.

    Odin will not be cut , Kindred is gone before him . Hooker, Farley, Geathers, Odum and Willis will all be on the roster.

    The poster didn't say he could compete for a lot of snaps someday.

     

    The poster called Hentges our future starting tight end.

     

    There's a big difference in those two statements.

     

    As I mention on my last post those are your word not mines, I never said that He was the Future starting TE, Jack isn’t even the starter. He shares that role with Ebron and truthfully Ebron was FAR more effective than Doyle was so I’d go as far as stating he’s the starter over him even though they both clearly “start”. I said that I could see Hentges replacing Doyle. Hentges has been touted as a Doyle clone. He could have the same career trajectory. I’m not understanding why you’re putting words in my mouth that I did not say.

    You just called Hentges our future starting tight end.    Was that deliberate?

     

    Based on being a free agent,  having a good camp,  and..................  what else?

     

    We have Ebron.    We have Allie Cox.    And you're thinking Hentges is our future starter?

     

    Wow....................

     

    I said he’s a Jack Doyle clone and I can see him eventually replacing Jack. Jack is not listed as the “starter” he shares snaps with Ebron situationally since we run a two TE well really a multiple TE system. He’s also dealt with a TON of injuries these past few seasons. I never said Hentges would be the “future starter” those are your words not mine. Do I think Hentges can develop? Absolutely. Jack Doyle didn’t really light up the NFL immediately he had developed over about 4-5 years and then he broke out. I don’t see why Hentges can’t have that same career development.
