Bring in Ponder on a one year contract. I know he's not a world beater but his QB IQ is pretty good. And I think he would fit the system and better than anyone else we have right now.c

I like this thought.    He's a free agent and wouldn't demand much.   He's accept his role.   He'd be a good back up for Luck for years.   He's only 29.   I like the idea of a long term back up role.   Especially when the guy has been a starter for a few years.   The season he started all 16 games, he went 10-6 and completed 62% of his passes for 18 TD's and 12 INT's.

If the goal is to win games then why is kap anywhere near the conversation?

That's a good question There isn't a good answer I can think of 

what does kapernick do well?  the answer is nothing except for run

 

hes not accurate, and doesn't read the coverage well.  not a good fit for the colts, we are not built for a read option QB

Stephen Morris. Tolzien is terrible when I've seen him play, and Morris seems to have no fear and just lets it fly, which can sometimes be a bad thing but right now with the injury situation the way it is we need more upside over a QB in Tolzien that plays it safe and can't convert on offensive drives.

Morris was far from great but he was better than Tolzein. Of course, almost anybody would've looked better than Tolzein as the bar wasn't exactly high to begin with.

 

What's everyone talking about here? Tolzien wasn't bad.

I get the anti Kap sentiment, but those who argue he doesn't fit our system, maybe that's a good thing? What has our "system" given us the last two years? If the O line can't give our QB 3 or 4 seconds, the system fails and you end up with a broken QB.  

Morris gets my vote....Ponder is worth pondering.

I'm anti Kaep because I don't think he would be a game changer.   I'd avoid the drama for an average QB.

I still think Ponder would be a great signing as our back up.

    • I haven’t been on the board in awhile but same thoughts here. I didn’t think he’d get out of the top ten.  
    • A+   Laiatu Latu - The kinda guy I've been clamouring for for a long time now and specifically the guy I hoped we'd get this draft. I'm SUPER excited about this pick. If Latu turns into our Hendrickson/Crossby/Bosa the rest of the players in this draft can bust and it would still be A+ in my opinion. Technician without equal and still athletic. There's just so much to love about this guy. Steal #1.   Adonai Mitchell - Steal #2. Ballard stood tall on the hill defending this guy and reportedly Steichen and Wayne have been pounding the table for this guy for some time... and they got him AFTER a trade back? Bruh! Steal! Super athletic and has beat up on some of the top CBs in this draft.   Matt Goncalves - We've needed to upgrade our OL depth and Goncalves can play all over the line. Solid pick!   Tanor Bortolini - Quite possibly our future OC. Super athletic - broke Jason Kelce's 3-cone record at the combine. Love this pick!   Anthony Gould - This could potentially turn out to be a genius move by Ballard & Co. The new return rules means having a good returner is extra important and Gould is likely one of the best in the draft! We also needed a good backup behind Downs since McKenzie left.   Jaylon Carlies - After last season I felt like we needed to upgrade our coverage ability at the LB position. This is a move to do just that. Love it!   Jaylin Simpson - We needed to at least add competition at the FS spot. With us picking Simpson and last years 5th rounder Daniel Scott returning (who Ballard seems really excited about), we seem to be set with young talent there. Maybe we add a vet? Like this pick.   Micah Abraham - Don't know much about him, but he has the pedigree. Doesn't fit Ballard's typical athletic profile, so they must have seen something on tape they REALLY like.   Jonah Laulu - The Colts brought him in for a top 30 visit and he fits their athletic profile. Project. Solid pick in the 7th.
    • You are correct jvan1973, and I missed it because you spelled Tanor's name wrong, but you still get 4 points. Unfortunately, your total was 4.5 so Archer still wins! Wow, that was closer than I thought and getting three picks right was amazing!
    • Solid A from me but thats expected, our scouts and Ballard are great draft evaluators, how they perform on the field is another matter
    • We need to give a call to Justin Simmons, would round out this offseason nicely
