and they never get it wrong...

Can you think of a successfull qb drafted in the 7th round with multiple arrests?

It's going to be funny if we resign him tomorrow to the PS. Or perhaps not be funny if he gets picked up by someone.

Why would that be funny?  It's where he belongs

Not sure what you mean about senior member.   But you're right,  some of these posts are ponderous.

I can name more that fit this category than 7th round picks with multiple arrests being successfull.   

 

I'll start.   Kurt Warner

Kelly will probably say no thanks so he can go ready for the epic battles he's gonna have against Johnny Football in the XFL. 

Doubtful.   Ps in the NFL is better than starting in the XFL.

Wow this topic is headed almost to the same amount of pages that the original topic went to when it was announced on the Giants message board that Eli was benched......So I guess this is true >>>>>>>   Chad = Eli !!!!!!!

Except of course that's nonsense

The glee you get while facing a future of mediocrity is beyond me. But hey, keep thinking JB is going to suddenly be a great QB.

And you do the same thinking every team is clamoring for Chad.   Jacoby is better.   The coaches agree

Just now, HOF19 said:

Then why is it getting this much attention ????????????

This much attention here.   Nowhere else

I gotta give you and East Street a lot of credit.     You've been proven wrong,  and yet,  here you are, still trying to show you're the smartest guys in the room.     Even when it's obvious that you're not.    Good for you.

 

But one of the smartest, most respected front offices disagrees with you.

 

One of the smartest,  most respectd coaching staffs disagrees wtih you.

 

Sorry.    But the ship sailed on this.    The votes are in and tabulated.    You two lost and you lost HUGE!!

 

If figuring out who was going to be a good QB or a bad QB was as easy as you're trying to make it out to be,  then you'd be a General Manager right now.     And in case you haven't noticed........   

 

So,  you keep posting.    You keep telling all of us that you're right and Chris Ballard is wrong.   You keep telling us that you're right and Frank Reich is wrong.    You remind me of the Knight in the Monte Python movie...   you've got your arms and legs cut off,  and you keep asking for more!    Good luck with that....

Cool. Take a victory lap while our team is stuck with Jacoby Brissett yet again. Pop the champagne for 8-8.

Some of the Kelly fans ought to love this take: 

 

Colts waive Chad Kelly in unsurprising move

 

Quote

 

Kelly isn’t good enough to be a starter in this league, and his viability as a backup is questionable too because of his off the field issues. He can’t stay on the field because he makes bad decisions off of it. That’s part of the reason the Colts moved on from him.

 

When he did play in the preseason, Kelly wasn’t too bad. He showed some moments with his arm and his legs. But it wasn’t good enough to overcome the myriad of other issues. He doesn’t have elite arm strength, and his decision making was suspect at times as well.

 

Kelly might have played well enough in preseason to get onto a practice squad. His ceiling might even be a backup somewhere. But the fact that some people said he should be a starter is insane.

You know, of course,  this is a classic Straw man argument.

 

Nobody is making this argument.


But you and East Street are the ones saying Kelly is the better prospect.   That he has the higher ceiling.    And now,  you conveniently drop that aspect of the argument and try to reduce it to just Jacoby.    You've completely changed the argument in a desperate attempt to save face and win an argument you've already lost by a landslide.

 

Punt.

Which makes me think the Colts fan base has (at least a little ) concern about the Colts QB depth .

Of coarse we do.   Our once in a generation qb retired at 29.  What fanbase wouldn't have concern.   But I feel better with Jacoby than a guy that's been arrested multiple times.

Kind of surprised, kind of not that he’s been released. Not surprised they released him, surprised they think he’ll clear waivers

 

They think Kelly will clear waives not because he's not wanted.    But because they've waited to the last minute.    Rosters for this week are mostly set.   Most teams won't want to make a move on a QB on a Thursday.      They might.    But the odds are better than if they had made their move public on Monday or Tuesday.

 

Smart,  strategic thinking.

That was not my question...

what I was getting at was could he decline the waiver claim and sign to Colts PS, and continue to decline claims there too to show good faith in Colts for showing faith in him.

 

No, a claim on a player with less than 4 years service gives that team the players rights.

 

Players with >4 years service immediately become FA's.

The QB needy teams can’t afford to take a risk this late in the weekly cycle

    • Final Rough Draft…   (Yes on trading up a few spots)   Round 1 - #15(trade up) A. Terrion Arnold-CB(ALA) B. Dallas Turner-Edge(ALA) C. Nate Wiggins-CB(CLEM)   *Unless Colts trade up to take top WR,  Defense needs more help all around. I think Bowers(Jets)/QMitchell won’t fall to 15 and Colts could trade up for Turner!   Round 2 - #46 A. Bralen Trice-Edge(WASH) B. Kool-Aid Mckinstry-CB(ALA) C. Braden Fiske-DL(FSU)   *Kool-Aid could maybe fall this far if teams were to still question his foot injury, and Colts should take him here if they go Offense rnd 1. I think Trice would be an absolute steal here even though his measureables weren't great at the combine. He was though one of the most productive Ends in the country last year. Fiske is a Bjern clone that I wouldnt want Colts to draft, but I can see them doing so.   Round 3 - #82 A. Malachi Corley-WR(WKU) B. Javon Bullard-S(UGA) C. Khyree Jackson-CB(ORE)   *Corley, I can see as a perfect fit for Colts here. He’s not a top level wr in this draft, but just under that level. Good YAC wr that reminds me a little of Garçon. I put Bullard/Jackson this rnd even though they may not fall this far, but Colts have visited with them.   Round 4 - #117 A. Audric Estime-RB(ND) B. Brenden Rice-WR(USC) C. Mason McCormick-OG(SDSU) *Most have Colts taking the LVille rb, but I would love them to take Estime! Even though Im a homer with ND players. He would be a great #2 rb behind our OL! Colts should also take a chance on Jerrys kid with hopes of some similarities of his pops!   Round 5 - #151 A. Zac Zinter-OG(MICH) B. Roger Rosengarten-OT(WASH) C. Luke McCaffrey-WR(RICE)   *McCormick/Zinter/Rosengarten would all fit well with OL depth here. Im not 100% sold on if Kelly will ever be at his best ever again, and I still dont like the depth at RG/RT. Smith needs to remain healthy all season long! This is an extremely important year to keep our QB healthy when in the pocket! Also, why not take a chance on a McCaffrey? Hopefully Luke can be as skilled as his brothers!   Round 6 - #191 A. Kitan Oladapo-S(OREST) B. Edefuan Ulofoshio-OLB(WASH) C. Tory Taylor-P(Iowa)   *Colts should continue their streak of drafting a player whose name we all cant pronounce correctly in this round! Also a perfect time to draft Punt God if Rigo continues to struggle!   Round 7 - #234 A. Jordan Travis-QB(FSU) B. Joshua Cephus-WR(UTSA) C. Frank Gore Jr-RB(SMISS)   *Travis would be a good replacement for Sam In practices!  Also, Cephus could be a steal, even though I think he’s had some serious off the field issues. Finally, Gotta try and get Frankie Jr unless the 49ers draft him!        I am all for the Colts bringing in any IU/ND players for udfas! Aaron Casey could be one, or even Gus Bradleys son at QB. 
    • Yeah i look at Ballard as a stingy guy when it comes to trading up. He does not want to pay a lot to move up and dont think he will.
    • I honestly will not believe this until I see it happen. Or unless it's super cheap... like... if it cost a 3d to move from 15 to 9 for Odunze or Nabers(if he falls), or if it cost a 4th to move from 15 to... 11? for someone like Bowers? But again... I just don't think it happens. 
    • Imo every year you should draft 1 OL, 1 DL, & 1 WR/TE. No particular round but with the price of those positions, you need new talent every year to develop. 
    • I think St. Brown is better WR than Pittman too... another reason he's getting paid more.
