Nate! Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 9 minutes ago, throwing BBZ said: Actually, they have to choose us. KC will have no trouble keeping Jones. So... Agreed. It’s a two way street unless just outright overpaying. Winning/strong team performance helps folks choose you, city/location helps, etc. It’s not a challenging offseason this year for the Colts. The future is murky and could go anywhere in the near future (off the rails collapse, current state of mediocrity, or a rise back to relevance). Tough to predict where the chips will land, but think Ballard is gonna work hard and try navigate through the current challenges. Luck kind of screwed him/Colts over hard in a lot of ways, and now they are left holding the pieces. Not an envious spot (other than the insanely high salary). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twfish Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I wouldn't hold our breath on a FA, that's not ballards way of doing things. Sure big spending on free agents makes for an exciting off season but look how big of a hole it put this team in after Grigs. It takes time away from developing drafted guys and kills salary cap.

IinD Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I'm actually ok with a football break for now. Don't really need more Hall of Famer Mahomes talk. Don't really care where Brady may go either.. Lol Wake me up when we're on the clock to draft. Free agency will probably see us on the sidelines while teams pay the first wave guys double their worth. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, when Ballard is the GM, that comes with the territory. One of my family members is a Jets fan, and she is finally looking forward to the draft now that they have Joe Douglas as the GM. As long as Ballard can continue to get us good players, the draft will be a good time for the Colts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't lie I've always thought Clowney was an * of sorts, but he definitely brings it when he plays and I've learned to like him and respect him more and more. Would definitely be excited if we somehow got him. And it would look great if we went the route you stated on the Dline. Almost instant improvement.

Valpo2004 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 The interesting thing about this FA is that 3 good QB's right now still have not signed with their teams and could be free agents. Remember the craziness when Manning was an FA. Now you have Brady, Brees, and Rivers all at the same time. (To be fair there are some indications that Brees will either re-sign with the Saints or retire. But Brady and Rivers appear ready to move on.

I think Clowney got away with being able to be lazy in college because he is so physically gifted. My impression of him is that he came into the league and was a bit lazy/immature and thought he could be a 'man amongst boys' as he pretty much was in college. He seems to have improved his work ethic and maturity over the course of his career, though. I could be wrong, but that's my impression of him. I'd be happy to see him land in Indy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's gotten humbled in the NFL, perhaps in part due to JJ Watt being a teammate of his early in his career and helping show him what it takes to be an NFL player when you're playing with a bunch of other freaks of nature. Look at Clowney's combine numbers, he was 6'5", 266 lbs, ran a 4.53 forty, had a 37.5 vertical, a 124 inch broad jump, 34.5 inch arms with an 83 inch wingspan and 10 inch hands. With physical traits like that, it's not too hard to get by just by showing up to games in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoolMagnet Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I don’t see the Rivers, Brees, Brady logic. Why would any of them want to come here? On a 1 year deal to groom a young guy? More and more, Jacoby, “someone else”, Kelly, and draftee makes the most sense for training camp. The”someone else” is the difficult part. Any QB of merit wont want the gig. Why would they? Unless we let JB go. Then its slightly more attractive. But it still Appears they would be grooming a young guy to be the future. Or maybe Ballardsees Carr, Teddy B, etc as the future. I dont. If we’re changing QBs, rip the bandaid off. A 1 year “QB re-shuffle” is fine, we dont need to make it a “thing.” So many ways we could go. Very exciting.

Defjamz26 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 League wide this is probably the most interesting offseason since the lockout. You have 3 marquee QBs all hitting FA (Brady, Brees, and Rivers). Several prominent coaching changes (Dallas and Carolina) with coaches who had been with the team for a decade. 3 different teams have more than one draft pick in the 1st round. Several other playoff QB’s might be on the move with Dalton, Cam, and Bridgewater. Several teams in the top 15 need QBs. I can’t wait for FA and the draft in general because it should be absolutely wild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bridge that may avoid the "wasted" years could be signing an old vet. We never know what the future holds. I want them to improve for the 2020 season as they groom the future QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
