they could do much worse for sure....think the writing is on the wall regarding Phillip Walker...he's had many many chances now.

Woof

[chad72]

Well, the Colts have never beaten Brock Osweiler (0-3), so let us keep that streak alive!!!

 

 

[Myles]

If they would sign him, I would still want Kelly as the #2 once game 3 is here.   We kind of know Osweilers ceiling already.

Agreed

    I would still prefer signing someone off the waiver wire

[Gramz]

Please.....No!

[Fisticuffs111]

I would hope it'd only be for the first 2 games if we do sign him.

I think Kelly's done more than enough on the field to earn the back up spot after his suspension though. Unless there's still off the field questions but by all accounts he's been on his best behavior. On that note, I wonder if Brian Decker has spent some time to evaluating Kelly in that respect. Would be surprised if he hasn't, really.

[GoColts8818]

Sounds about right.  They aren’t going to get some great back up right now.  You are looking for an emergency break glass guy who can cover for two weeks if something happens to Jacoby until Kelly is back.

Brock Osweiler is a decent backup.

[TDewar1987]

Not the worst move we could make strictly as a backup. I mean he's played in lots of games as a starter and won games.

He was one of the first names I specified in the "First 2 games..." thread I started. 

 

However, I think they end up settling with someone from other teams' cuts, since they are after all playing with a little bit of house money, might as well get someone that fits short and long term instead of just short term.

[John Waylon]

Not at all surprising. Someone has to come in for those first two weeks. If, god forbid, Brissett was to get hurt in one of those games do you really want Phillip Walker out there?

There are about 70 QBs who will be on NFL rosters at the start of the season. That's 70 QBs we will not be able to have. You need to seriously lower your expectations if you don't think Osweiler is a reasonable player to kick the tires on. No matter who you get, the reality is you will likely be getting something in the range of the 70th best QB in the NFL. You won't get anyone great to be backup for 2 games.

You know what's crazy to me? People don't want Osweiler, but are okay with Philip Walker... ????

Honestly, people need to lower their expectations, period.  That's where we are at the QB position.  Chances of us landing another elite, generational talent any time soon are slim.  We'll be throwing things at the wall until something sticks.  You might see quite a few QBs go through this town in the coming years.

Don't let the perfect/generational be the enemy of the good/franchise QB.

 

Expecting a generational type of talent is not realistic. For the last 3 days I've been repeating this sentiment here - first it's not realistic, and second it's not necessary for the team to be very successful with just a regular franchise type QB... the types that every year teams find in the draft and trade up in the draft for - Mahomes, Watson, Darnold, etc. None of those were considered generational types, and all of them were traded up for and IMO they all give their teams the chance to be very successful and potentially win titles with if they are surrounded by good enough talent.

 

This is what we should be aiming for... identify a talented QB with high end traits and/or skill, a QB who is not flawless and not generational(why you would be able to trade up for him in the draft) but one that with some work and refinement by your coaching staff will be able to run a highly efficient offense, will be able to playmake and win games for you consistently. This should be the goal... (if Brissett is not what we are looking for)...

I'm saying again just off my eye for talent I think Sirriani and Reich could mold Chad Kelly into a real nice NFL QB.  Hopefully JB is the answer, but if not I think the answer could possibly be here already. 

[ukcolt12]

That Chad Kelly looks rather good. 

Brock please god no!

He is suspended two games. This is most likely just for the first two games.

Give them 3 years yeah, could make something of Kelly.

 

Kid has a lot of work to do.  He's got some raw talent but so does every quarterback that's ever made a NFL roster.  It would certainly be one heck of a long shot to think he could be effective this year.

[HOZER]

I hear Uncle Rico’s available?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Any QB we bring in from off the streets at this point is not going to win us a game if JB got hurt. I say just roll with walker. It’s just two games.

OK, prove me wrong.  Show me what Kelly proved against grocery baggers and practice squad fodder in a meaningless preseason game that tells you he's NFL ready right now

IMO he is not 

[CanuckColt]

We don't need any backup QB instead of Kelly (especially not Brock)...and for 2 games we can keep our fingers crossed and play Walker if necessary.

It appears that Ballard's thinking may be bringing in a permanent backup for the year and try to sneak Kelly over to the PS...this would be one of the stupid moves by a GM who is supposed to be pretty smart.

Just put Kelly on the suspended list for 2 games (doesn't count vs. the 53) and then decide what to do after game 3.

Walker struggled against 2s and 3s let alone starters and CK is a mystery in the Field and off

The only reason I may be in that boat is that I don't want this team to be a rotating QB team.   They never do well.  Brissett loses the first game and gets hurt.  Brock wins game 2 but loses games 3 and 4.  (1-3 so far).   They start Kelly.   He wins game 5 and loses game 6 and 7 ( 2-5).  Brissett is back from the injury.  He loses game 8 and doesn't look good.   Thus leaving us on a merry-go-around of our 3 QB's.   We've seen this stuff happen with other teams and I really don't want to be there.

Still could happen if PW is the backup

 

    I know it was Jay Gruden idea to play 4 QBs in Washington last year

I'm not one who thinks Kelly should be starting.   I do think he looked polished in his limited time.   Obviously Ballard seen something in him too.   Osweiler didn't look good in his 30 NFL starts.   It would probably be a coin flip who would do better.   Brock has a career rating of 78.   That is not hard to do.  It's a little higher than Manziel and not too much better than Curtis Painter.   

I'm just saying the Brock doesn't have the great numbers to distance himself from Kelly too much.
