Could Colts be interested in Osweiler?

Mod edited title: There's no indication that the Colts are in talks for Osweiler. There's only a random tweet of a random thought from a Cleveland beat reporter.

I've never cried pain over the Colts before, but if Brock becomes a Colt................................. man, listen 

[TheOptimist88]

Colts media getting out of hand, at this point it seems like they're trying to force the organization to give the complete status of Luck. 

[TheOptimist88]

We're going to spend 16 million more on the QB position 

[Fisticuffs111]

Oh.

[Restored]

Not going to happen. Pure speculation.

[PrincetonTiger]

Pass

[BProland85]

Dear God please NOOOOO!!!

[PrincetonTiger]

Do not believe at all

[TKnight24]

 

 

 

 

[Derakynn]

I think I'd rather just lose without wasting our resources.

[Fisticuffs111]

This did originally come from a Browns writer so I actually am skeptical.

I hope it is made up. I'd much rather go with Tolzien or Morris.

Dont you think Kapernick would be a better option than Osweiler?

Well, so does Tolzien.

[NorthernBlue]

Tolzien is bad, sure but do we really think the guy who lost the BROWNS QB battle is an upgrade?

I do.  And for what it's worth, he would come MUCH cheaper than taking on Osweiler's contract, plus at this point, I think it would be POSITIVE PR for the Colts to sign Kap.  It's widely reported he's been black balled, and this would show the Colts as being brave.  Also, Kap is just not good enough to cause a QB controversy when Luck returns, so then Kap can then quietly fade into the background role of pure backup.

 

I really dislike Osweiler and would HATE the move to get him.  I also have no hesitation in saying I think Kapernick would be a HUGE upgrade over Tolzien.

 

That being said, I suspect this Osweiler roomer is all just unfounded hearsay.

[NannyMcafee]

No.... please no. I would rather have tolzien. Either QB will lose many games this year. Why pay so much? IMO would be Ballards first bad move.

I could root for Kap but not sure about Osweiler

[csmopar]

 please Gawd no!!! I'd rather have Kapernick

Oh, I definitely agree.  I would rather see what Morris can bring 'til Luck gets back than spend $$$ on either Kap or Osweiler.

[RollerColt]

The media has been out of control in terms of Colts coverage the last few years. I don't buy this for a second.

[IinD]

This would have me more worried about Luck if it happened.

 

Isn't he technically a starter? Why do this if he's (AL) only a few weeks away?

I would agree, but they wont play morris with the 1s for some unknown reason, so we wont know for sure.

[colts52761]

Are we getting a 1st and 2nd pick also?

If they have no confidence in Tolzien, then give reps for Morris with the starters. I still felt that if Curtis Painter had been given the #1 team reps more, he'd have done better than using the stop gap Kerry Collins in 2011. Let us not repeat the mistakes of the past. Go with the guy who has been with the team in TC and knows enough of the playbook and has been around the team mates.

 

I do not give this much credibility at all. It is possible Brock's name may have been floated around but my respect for the front office would go down if this happened. Very much like the knee jerk Kerry Collins move in 2011.

Ya really and for another bum just like scott tolzien.

[dudley dawson]

I will never be more ashamed to be a Colts fan if we sign Osweiler over Kaep.  That's insulting and disgraceful.

I'm having flashes of the Kerry Collins fiasco. Oh Andrew is fine, we're just gonna get a starter for no reason...then it'll be he's coming back in October...he'll be back in November...oh jeez, I'm getting heartburn honestly..

 

Please let this not be true..

That's starter money James, I'm trying not to think the worse, but that kinda freaks me out. They not telling us something??

[GoColts8818]

if they have so little faith in Tolizen that they would bring in Brock now then I would think they should at least give Morris a look with the first string in the pre-season.  At least kick the tires on what you have in a guy who knows the system before you bring in someone else.

[BullsColtsFan1]

I believe this is pure speculation.  I'd hope the Colts wouldn't make this move.  If this happened it would for sure ruin my day(among others on here).  It'd make me nervous that Luck isn't going to be back anytime soon.  I can't see investing that much money into a back up QB. 

[COLTS449]

How stupid would this be when Kaep is sitting there for the taking.

 

 

 

[Dudley Smith]

This would make no sense whatsoever. First, Osweiler is not worth the money by a long shot. He is a bad QB. Is he better than what the Colts have right now? Probably by a bit but not by much. Second, he isn't so much better that is worth spending the money on for a couple of games (a couple of games we hope anyway!) because Colts probably either win or lose those regardless of who is at QB. It will take a total team effort. Last, We are less than a month away from the regular season and to bring in a guy who has no knowledge of the team or playbook is silly.

 

This has to be nonsense. Ballard isn't this dumb.

[VaAllDay757]

This can't be true

Becasue of the QB situation with the Ravens, Jags, and luck, there is much speculation.  Colts won't go for Osweiler IMO for a couple reasons-

 

They need the Browns to eat some salary (they might agree)

They would have to give something up for him.  We have nothing we can afford to give up.

 

I think he could go to the Jags, slight chance to, maybe, the Ravens, or stays a Brown.
