Finally looked like he knocked off the rust yesterday. I would've loved it if the Colts had went after him a couple of years ago when it was evident that the Pats were going to let him rot on the bench. I think as long as he can stay healthy, he's going to have a really good season this year.

He would have never signed with Indy to sit behind Luck. Nor would it have made sense for the Colts to pursue him when they had a 26-27 year old Andrew Luck. Irsay would have needed a crystal ball to do that one.

Pats would never have traded him to the Colts.. mind you I bet he has a short career too.

 

The Patriots traded Brissett to the Colts so I'm not sure that's true. However, I actually suspect Brissett may grade out as the better quarterback in the end.  Jimmy G is much flashier, but that has become a trap for him in a way, as he has a very bad habit of not giving up on plays when he should.

 

Both of the two times Jimmy G has gotten hurt, the shoulder in 2016 and the knee last year, it was because he was refusing to give up on a busted play, tried a hero move, and got burned by it.  It's an admirable quality not to give up on plays easily, but not if your body can't handle the consequences.  

 

If he can learn to ground the ball when a play goes sour, he's going to be a superstar.  If he keeps trying to play 1v11 when things start to go wrong, he's going to be out of the league within the next 3 years.

      Is Shane Calling Plays to Win Games or to Groom AR?

      By Superman · Posted

      I think he's probably only using 25% of his playbook so far, for various reasons. Some of that is intentional, as they work in some concepts with a young QB and a young-ish supporting cast.   Another part of it is that the Colts game script has been heavily skewed, especially in the first two games, so the gameplan had to be reduced as the game went along. The offense couldn't stay on the field, and the defense couldn't get off of it. It was better against the Bears, but their offense still ran 30 more plays than ours. Total, our offense has run 87 fewer plays than our opponents. Teams usually script their first 15 offensive plays, and I wonder if the Colts have gotten through that opening script in any of the first three games. So I think there are some things that they'd like to have run, but so far they have not been able to get to them.   I don't think it's a binary 'do we call winning plays, or do we call plays to develop the QB' consideration. I don't necessarily agree that those priorities have to compete with one another, but it does require a balance to do them both justice. I don't think it does this team any good, short term or long term, to restrict Richardson to 15 passing attempts/game, or to use him as an option QB like this is the Navy team, even if they felt like that could be a way to win some games. I also don't think they should coach him as if every game is "winner take all," and have him lay his body on the line or try to drop back 50 times a game.    And we have to blame Richardson and the WRs to a certain extent. There have been a lot of missed throws, drops, and turnovers. Those plays have stalled or ended several possessions, and that's not on the play calling.

      Gus is aware of this too.  I don’t think Fields can keep this up.  I really like our team this week

      If Eberflus was fired by Chicago would you want him back

      By Superman · Posted

      The advantages of an offensive minded head coach with a young QB are many. For example, if the HC is installing the offensive system. So if your young QB is a success, when your OC inevitably gets hired away by another team, the offensive structure will remain.    There's also the fact that defensive minded HCs seem to have trouble relating to young QBs. They're inherently risk averse, and overly reliant on their defense, so the overall approach to the game is conservative, which means every mistake by the QB gets highlighted by the coach's negative response. And I don't mean yelling and screaming on the sideline, I mean the QB turns the ball over in the first half, so the rest of the game the offense is super run heavy.    This is not true of all defensive minded guys, and there are some offensive minded HCs who struggle the same way. But I would lean toward an offensive coach if I had a young or developing QB, almost exclusively. I definitely don't think Eberflus is the right guy, but at least he's shown some growth in the last year or two. I was surprised by how much Hard Knocks showed him meeting solo with Caleb Williams.
