Are we, as Colts fans, overvaluing or undervaluing Jacoby Brissett?
Â
It probably depends on how you look at our backup QB. If you are looking at him compared to other backup QBs around the league, you are probably undervaluing him. I could make the argument that he is the most valuable backup in the NFL. And I think Ballard agrees.
Â
However, if you're looking at Jacoby as trade-bait, you might be overvaluing him. A team trading for Jacoby would want him to be their starter. Granted, this article is written by David Carr for NFL.com, so take it with a grain of salt, but he has at least 10 other QBs ranked ahead of Brissett for other teams to consider drafting, signing as a FA, or trading for.

I expected to see Brissett on that list. When I didn't, I wondered if I'm overvaluing our backup by viewing him through my blue-colored glasses...
Â
And I think the draft-stock of the QB prospects will only increase leading up to the draft. I just don't see a team offering Ballard enough to part ways with Jacoby at this point.
I'd like to see more games for a bigger sample data. Richardson's expertise is brute raw strength, which is also why he did so well in college -- his opposition was undersized. Now we're placing Trent in a development league and suddenly we're surprised he's doing well? I'm not biting yet. You put me into a game with a bunch of old ladies and I can make myself look strong, too.
Flowers as well as Dante Fowler Jr. should also be available. Â I would be happy will Flowers and Robert Quinn when he is released. Â Those two would be great additions. Â I can see Quinn getting double digit sacks again moving back to DE.Â
