I watched him a few times at USC... he's a smart, accurate QB who did a good job of reading defenses presnap and deciding where he is going with the ball quickly.  he is also very good at leading his receivers and he's good at throwing them open.  He does panic a bit under pressure and doesn't really have the arm strength to make throws to the sideline against NFL coverage.

Trap game! We. Are. Doomed.

 

 

:default_20smile:

 

On serious note:

Kessler doesn't have impressive stat line (0-8 in 8 starts, 7 TDs, 4 INTs), still we shouldn't overlook the Jags. I can imagine that Bortles will be back when things are turning bad.

Still better than Blake. Instead of signing Norwell and extending Blake they should of made a move for Cousins but I’m no GM :dunno:

It seems like the Colts have faced a lot of crappy backup QBs in the AFC South over the last decade or so. 

 

This schedule just keeps getting better and better though. I don't think I ever seen anything like this...where the Colts have faced so many bad offenses. By the end of the season, there might only be 3 inside the top 20 (CIN, HOU, NE).

 

Time to take advantage and get to at least 10 wins. I think that gets the Colts a road Wildcard game (at least). The 2nd place in the AFC West is likely a lock for the #5 seed, so that leaves the #6 seed up for grabs. With PIT/BAL both having very tough schedules ROS...and IND/HOU having easy schedules...it looks like a HOU/IND showdown in the WC game could very well happen...most likely in HOU (but IND is possible as well).

 

Could you imagine starting 1-5 and ending up the #3 seed. It's actually a legit scenario right now. Need some breaks to happen...but those seems to be in good supply right now.

Anyone know anything about this prodigy of a QB?  He must be an all-star if he was on Jax's roster...

 

In my opinion he is a diamond in the rough and he should have been the Jags starting quarterback on opening day. He has some ability, and he protects the ball very well.

I thought the Jags are going to draft a qb or sign a free-agent bridge qb. If Kessler starts week 1 2019 for the Jags that would be a dream.

Cody Kessler isn't going to carry a team on his back and win games on his own. However, he is not going to lose games either. He fits the mold of football that Jacksonville wants to play. Tough defense, tough running, and a quarterback who makes good decisions.

 

There are a couple of a quarterbacks that I would draft in the upcoming draft, but I believe that Kessler is better than most of them.

Yeah, but in all likelihood, with the morale of their team being a bit down, I expect the Colts and their offense to force the issue with Kessler and make him more than a game manager.

I don't think Kessler is going to flinch at much. He played in Cleveland and more than held his own. He had no business being as efficient as he was considering the mess the Browns were working with. 

 

Cody Kessler starting for the Jags (at some point this season) was easy to see coming. He fits what they are trying to do much better than Bortles does. Before week 1, I said that if Kessler gets a chance to start this year then it will be over for Bortles. 

 

This game will not be a walk in the park for us. Kessler is smart and mentally tough.

Better for us. Maybe we trade our back up QB for Ramsey lol 

 

Jalen 'Bigmouth' Ramsey, who yelled at Bills prior the game: 'You're trash' then got burnt during the game, and thinks 'Andrew Luck isn't that good'? LOL Not even for free! 

 

We need decent CBs though.

Bortles always seemed to play well against the Colts.  I'd rather take my chances with Kessler.  All though, he did look decent in the one game I watched him play (against Houston maybe?).  The Colts can't take this team lightly.  They still have Fournette, and they still have a good defense.  Hopefully a comfortable win though!

It never is, in Jacksonville. Road Division games are always grinders. Even with Peyton in his prime, we had to grind it out.

Honestly, this is concerning.  My brother and I laugh about how quarterbacks making their first start with a team tend to eat up the Colts.  So hopefully Ballard/Reich has stopped that trend.

I think most teams are like that because there is little or no film on the new starter.  They always seem to do well in that first game.

Agreed. Jacksonville is usually a tough out. I don't expect it to be any different this week.

This isn't a trap game. We're only 3 point favorites, Doyle is out for the season, Kelly could be out, it's on the road against a Jags team w/ nothing 2 lose.

They are saying Kelly is day to day not week to week.   I can see him playing this week.  Maybe with a brace as a precaution.

It will be a blowout...

 

JAX has nothing to play for now and they just got handled by the Bills

      Qb for next year/QB class of 2021 (merge)

      By PRnum1 · Posted

      I think Stafford at 4 years at 120 M is a little steep.  At least thats the numbers I saw on the other thread.   Thinking outside the box for a second, what if we gave a 5th round pick to the Bills for Jake Fromm ?   If you're interested in Trask, Fromm is almost the same QB.   Precision timing thrower, can throw receivers open, very accurate.

      Scott's "Mock" Free Agency - No Draft Yet

      By MikeCurtis · Posted

      I do think a Stafford trade is the SAFEST move (For a reasonable trade) to take this team forward   But.......I would agree that a VERY overlooked option is Jamies Winston   Winston needs some time in the QBs room, to fix the interceptions, but the guy threw almost 500 Yards against us in a game. AND threw for 5000 yards in the season. Only TWO other QBs have accomplished this feat in the history of the NFL.   If his head is on straight, (He has a past) he would be another excellent option   Who better to work with a QB than Sean Payton (This last year) and Frank R.    He is actually my second best choice   He could be had for a cheap contract (Maybe a 2 year prove it deal at 6M each year)   That would leave us with our 1st, and 14M more available CAP $$ (Vs a Stafford pickup) that we could sign an OT with and maybe a (second tier)  DE FA    We then could do a true BPA approach in the draft

      Is TY Hilton on the way out?

      By shasta519 · Posted

      I don't really have a dog in the fight. My SB team from my pool was BUF...and now I just have my squares.   But if I am being honest...I would prefer that Brady doesn't win. If that means he comes back...so be it. I don't hate Brady like most Colts fans...but seeing him win another SB would be gross. And I think it would take a very questionable game by KC for that to happen. I think KC has a real shot at being the first team in the SB era to three-peat SB titles.

      Senior Bowl Week - Prospects to look out for

      Illegal contact past 5 yards, all day in the NFL.     That contact past the 5 yard mark allowed him to close up with Noah. I do like Noah Gray of Duke for the TE spot.

      Nelson has only allowed 3 sacks in his career so far

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      I don’t know if it was Covid and no off-season, OR,  if there was an undisclosed injury, something seemed not quite right.    And I believe his 2020 PFF grades reflected that.   Hoping for a better ‘21.
