I haven't seen this mentioned in this thread, but I think it's a possibility.  Perhaps Ballard isn't thrilled with how Brissett is playing and wants some competition at the position.  Ditch Tolzien and give Brissett some competition.

Probably another distraction to keep our attention off the product on the field. Besides with the beating Brissett has taken, those are some brave souls to want to play QB here. By the way, can we work out a few OL while we are at it... maybe a G who knows how to block a stunt or won't get run over every play

I never saw anything remotely impressive about McGloin when he was at Penn State nor the Raiders.  Granted I certainly haven't seen every game he's played, but in what I did see I was not impressed.

Do you expect to be impressed by any unsigned qb available in the middle of the season....nobody is going to be impressive...if we have to go to another qb than I will be surprised we win another game this year.

Interesting.  He hasn't even had "half a career."

 

 

The average NFL career is 3 years AND you are vested to earn a pension after 3 years (seasons) as well.  I'd say he's had a full (yet abbreviated) career.

Why not? Season is over. If you try to get a low draft pick let Tolzien play and hopefully lose the rest of the games...

 

I would rather not break the record books for the worst offense and defense in history. 

 

I would much rather the 2017 Colts fly under the radar when the worst teams ever are discussed.

At this point that is all ego.  Who cares or remembers those teams anyways.  If it makes the team better long term I say go for it.  But I would caution getting rid of Brissett unless it is a deal too good to be true.  With Andrew out and Jacoby taking Andrew-esque beatings I think we need not cancel our insurance policy just yet to cash in.

My point was, that of the names mentioned, I saw the most potential in Barkley so I'd take him above the other 3.  Impressed is a relative term...I certainly wouldn't have expected to have been as impressed with any of these guys as I was with someone like Peyton or Brady. :)

Nah. I believe at this point we have to fight for pride. 

 

Peyton Manning is not really joking when he talks about someone breaking his rookie interception record. These things stick with players.

What a joke! Those names being mentioned have no business have no business in the NFL. None of them have had half the career Kaep has had

 

When  considering a player for your team, you have to look at more than just raw physical talent or athleticism.  You have to look at how well they'd fit into your scheme.  Kaep is the kind of guy you have to really simplify your offense for and cater to.  I haven't seen anything from him that would suggest he could succeed as a pure pocket passer.  I'd rather give Barkley the chance than Kaep.

Our O-Line can’t protect a pocket passer. Time to ditch that

It's fine to fight for pride.  But I'd rather have a historically bad offense or defense, than not get value for a player or players that aren't a huge part of my future.  Plus there is a chance one or two teams go 0-16.  People will remember them much more than how many yards we give up this season.

I would rather not be known as the team that gave up 8,000 yards in one season. 

 

For the record, we are already on pace for giving up over 6,500 yards, and we haven't even played the tough half of the schedule yet.

I don't see how we are going to stop that?  I mean in all reality having a bad offense will cause a short field and maybe we give up less yards that way.  Outside of actually being able to run the ball (and bleed some clock), I don't see how we rectify that situation.

Couple of things...It can if Chud would modify his playcalling.  he's done it before.  Why he doesn't do it more consistently is beyond me.  Also, the protection hasn't been nearly as bad as many are making it out to be.  There have been several times that Brissett had plenty of time but held onto the ball too long.  I'd be interested to see the numbers if someone were to go through and count how many times Brissett was sacked when he had at least 2.5 seconds of protection to throw vs. how many he was sacked in under that time.

 

But for Kaep he'd have to pretty much install an all new offensive scheme around Kaep's abilities.

I was told not to walk towards the light. Bad things could happen. :) 

It's a total cluster.... season honestly.

 

Sucks when we wait all year for football.

 

I'd settle for an 8-8 season..lol

Yeah. You kind of answered the question with your response.

 

The more we go the three and out, the more we punt, creating more yards for the opposing team to rack up on us.

Yeah.

 

I am hoping we have a great off-season with new beginnings, and Luck comes back next year 100% healed up. 

 

We should have fun with good draft picks, and money to spend in free agency. 

 

In the end, this will be a terrible regular season, but our off-season should be fun. :)

I might take a flyer on Barkley. I always thought he had the potential to play in the NFL. However, one could also think if he had the ability then someone would have found it already.

I dont know man, he had one good game for the Bears and became a turnover machine after that.

    • I don't really care where a player is picked, because if he's starting he's likely been deemed to be the best we have. That in itself CAN of course be pretty unfortunate and that's where it starts to be a Ballard problem.   To the OP: Cross, Speed and Franklin have all been questioned because of their questionable coverage abilities - especially Speed and Franklin. What gets brought up in the OP completely misses the point. Speed and Franklin have also been called out because too many of their tackles seem be be made 5+ yards downfield. I don't see anything disproving that here either.
    • Its come to my attention that some members just can't take anybody second-guessing the Colts.   I probably fit in the nonsupport of Ballard group, but I've never targeted the players mentioned because I thought they were decent picks at the spot they were taken.  If you average out the draft spot of those players, I'd say they average to about pick 90...mid to late 3rd round.   My target was the lack of attention in picking impact players with first round picks, identifying them in college.  One All Pro in 8 drafts, plus capital from trade downs.  And that one All Pro is/was a G.  Doesn't seem like our recent pick #4 is headed there either, but its very early.
    • No one really said anything about Rainman. People were screaming for him to start over Pryor after week 2.   Jones had 1 good game with 2 INTs but he’s still a liability in man, and tends to always give up 1-2 big catches a game and a penalty. He’s fine as a number 3 corner.   Lot of people also wanted Cross, just at SS instead of FS which is why he has had success. I’ve always thought he was better than Thomas.   Fries has been a surprise and this is easily the best we’ve seen from Pierce. Ryan and Minshew definitely limited him.
    • Watching this makes me wonder what's going on with his mechanics lately. 
    • I think AR will get better with time (he’s so young and new ) but his short yardage accuracy is atrocious.  It’s so bad that during the last two games AR threw the ball over the receivers head out of bounds and my gf said “ good Job at least he threw it out of bounds to not get intercepted” and I said , “ babe that wasn’t on purpose he literally is that inaccurate” lol.  When you throw it so far over your receivers head that it looks like you threw it out of bounds on purpose, you know there is some stuff for your qb to work on.
