It'll be a good replacement for Luck this season. SB, here we come! 

[Barry Sears]

I hope it's immune to calf strains and shoulder injuries!

[Smonroe]

It's using some new Skynet neural network technology.

 

I can't see anything going wrong with that.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I thought Luck was a robot  

[CR91]

talk about the ultimate pocket passer. It'll never get sacked  

[Kyle]

just a camp body.  he won't make the final roster.

[jvan1973]

So a really expensive jugs machine

[WoolMagnet]

I saw the NHL is trying a walrus at goalie too.

[LockeDown]

I read that somebody walked too close to it and Quentin Nelson took them down

No, that was the new robot guard,  Quantum Nelson.

 

(This whole thread is turning into bad dad jokes - just in time for Fathers Day!)

Hmm... I wonder if there is any relationship between the appearance of this robot, and QN's "Run the D*** Ball" hat?

 

Okay, I'll go to my room now...

[Four2itus]

Shouldn't it have a red cover?

[CoachLite]

I would start to worry about cheating and hacking if it were made by Boston Dynamics .

Not very mobile in the pocket. Need to add wheels.

i saw some highlights of him in college. CB definitely got a steal here 

[LockeDown]

He has a big “fan” following.  

[Nadine]

So is the robot talking about how good it is while it's throwing?

[WoolMagnet]

Jokes aside, i like the improved accuracy it offers. Great for juggs type work but for routes too.  Nothing worse than a receiver running a great route and the ball isnt there.

  Cant replace the timing between QB and WR, but a great tool for warm-ups, etc.  i would think you could help train running routes too because the ball will be where you want your receiver to be.  He has to get there.

  Ok.. joke mode back on.... I hope Andrew bought stock in this company.

I believe it was in "Baker Mayfield" mode.

It also has an "Eli" mode where it just stands there with a stupid look on its circuit boards.

I heard it's also capable of screaming "Da***' Donald", so it does have potential.

...or the Brady mode, where it misses the WR and throws a water bottle

Favre mode would be the scariest.  All the receivers would end up on IR with broken hands/fingers.

 

I wonder if it has an Uncle Rico mode?  Can it throw a football a quarter mile over them mountains?

 

[LockeDown]

It’s programmed to be realistic.  This one is the gambling addiction model. Was caught hanging with Charles Barkley at a casino.

CR, it's all fun and games now.. do you not see someday where they claim humans are too frail to play so all we have is robots doing this stuff? Battlebots Football.  Madden is essentially the same game if you think about it.  Humans have been replaced in more complicated tasks than football.  This is the harbinger of one big bummer that I can see coming true.  Sure, it is all "oohs" and "ahhs" now.. that is how it always starts!

Hahaha I was about to say, Boston already working on a way to hack the robot. That’s ok they’ll just sign him after he’s cut, him and Belichick should have a lot in common.

PLEASE watch this movie with an open mind, and nothing more important to do, lol!!!

[Restored]

Ballard said this about the new QB:

 

“Look, we want guys that represent the horseshoe and the robot can flat out play. When we watched the film, we were just blown away. There was about 5 other robots on our list to target and it just worked out perfectly.”

[HungarianColtsFan]

[LockeDown]

A drone swoops across the field and catches the robots pass.  Ballard smiles at Irsay and points to his famous notebook...page 230.   Manning walks out of the shadows and says.... I like it.
