What if he signs and he sucks and we didn’t draft the future. That wastes another year or two. The only way rivers makes sense is to also draft a QB to be ready in 2021. Exactly. If Rivers, or any other end of life QB signs with the Colts, I firmly believe they draft their QB of the future this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosejawcolt Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 5 hours ago, chad72 said: Peyton came with Marvin, Edge, and Tony Dungy, 4 HOF guys right there, not to mention HOF GM Bill Polian. How many did he win with them in their first 3 years together, SBs, I meant? Forget SBs, how many years did he get Home Field Advantage throughout the playoffs in his first 3 years as a starter with Dungy (which was Peyton's Years 4, 5 and 6 in the league in 2001, 2002 and 2003), which Mahomes has done in both of his years in his first 2 years as a starter (I gave you 3 years to include the year Mahomes sat)? I can play that game too. Let us not diminish someone's ability purely because of the supporting cast. Every elite QB needs 2 good play makers on offense (Brady had Edelman and Gronk and could only do so much without both) and a very good/elite coach, in a very good organization, that is what the Chiefs have too. Ryan Tannehill was a bum in Miami, now he is a very good QB in the Titans system with Henry and Brown as his play makers. Good coaching, good supporting cast, good line play, good GM, yes all of those matter for winning. Enough of shallow arguments based on bias. I think u missed my point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 That new Rap report sounds a little more concrete then just connecting dots.

Luck as example was a 100% consensus generational talent. My point is no one ever knows, it's a gamble on all QBs. I'm just in the camp not to gamble on maybes and possibilities when the player pool has positional needs this team also really needs this year that don't seem to carry so much of a gamble rate EVERY draft pick is a gamble. There's no guarantee that any player will be the guy we read about in his projection. If I'm going to miss, I'd rather miss on a QB.

Indeee Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Word of the street is that the Colts have shown the most interest of any other team in the QB from FIU, Morgan. It's on Bleacher Report right now, one of the Colts insiders put it out. Funny thing is that when I was watching the combine, other than the guys I knew, this Morgan guy wasn't bad. His throws seemed pretty accurate and his arm strength not that bad. This guy is definitely not projected until 4th or later. Anyway, there ya go, another rumor for what it's worth.

Value can be good for depth or middle of the roster. But you need elite at the top. Morgan’s accuracy wasn’t very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. It even allows you to trade a QB if he doesn’t work out. Where it does hurt is you might of been able to get elite talent at another position if you hadn’t taken the QB. I mean Rosen was traded and is a backup because contracts aren’t that high as in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeee Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 PFT reporting Yannick has told Jags he has no intertest in signing long term with Jags whatever the money. Went so far as to thank the organization and basically stated he will be resuming his career elsewhere. Now this doesn't mean he will as the Jags can and most likely plan to tag him, however this is a very interesting development occurring here as Yannick was one player I really wanted the Colts to target. Jags need a corner, so I'm wondering if Quincy plus pick #34 could get it done. Quincy was a Florida college guy after all. Maybe not, as I'm sure on a tag and trade scenario, the Jags would view him with a first round grade. Actually come to think of it, I doubt the Jags would ever even trade him in division, so...

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Jags are going to franchise yannick and try to trade him. That takes him off the colts radar.

Teaching him how to be a pro, how to handle a team and the offense at the LOS, handling pass protections, diagnosing blitzers, etc. Those are all things Love can benefit a lot from watching Rivers do it. Rivers is one of the smartest and most savvy QBs in the league when it comes to the mental game of football and those are some of the biggest questionmarks for Love. There is plenty he can teach a young player... whether he plays the same style or not. And BTW at his best, Love will hopefully be able to be a master in the pocket in a similar way Rivers has been, but also has the added dimension of being able to make plays on the run. One aspect doesn't exclude the other. That all of course is valid only if Rivers has the desire to be a mentor to a young guy. I have no idea if he does... it might all be a moot point.

I'm not saying to not let Love sit (I think he needs at least a year before he's NFL ready), I'm just saying Rivers would not be the best mentor for a QB like Love because while he could teach him some things it as @stitches mentioned, but their styles are too different.

Alex Smith and Patrick Mahomes had different styles and it worked well. Brett Farve and Aaron Rodgers had different styles and it worked well. The vet is teaching the rookie how to be a pro, a leader, and how to run a NFL huddle. The fact that Love is athletic and can make plays with his legs has nothing to do with that.
